Ⅲ. Please obey the traffic rules.
Read the passage and answer the questions.
Imagine(设想) this: It's Labour Day. You're traveling, and people are everywhere. You need to hurry to the train station, but you can't find the bus stop. Suddenly, you see your bus. It's on the other side of the street, and it's leaving soon! You try to fight through the crowds, but the light turns red. You want to run across the street to catch the bus. But wait! You'd better not. If a policeman sees you, you'll have to pay a fine(罚款).
New traffic laws say that if people cross the street when the light is red, they can be fined as much as 50 yuan. Traffic accidents kill more people in China every year. Chinese cities have more cars than ever. Drivers and pedestrians(行人) must work together to make the streets safer.
The law has new rules for drivers and pedestrians. Drivers have to slow down when they are close to crosswalks. If people are in a crosswalk, cars must stop to let them walk. If there are no traffic signals(信号), drivers must also let pedestrians go first.
There are rules for bus drivers, too. If bus drivers smoke, drink or make phone calls while driving, they can be fined. Buses that carry too many people are also against the law.
Pedestrians will have to walk more safely under the new law. They must cross streets at crosswalks. And if there are no traffic signals, pedestrians must look around to make sure it's safe to cross. Also, they shouldn't climb over the fences(栅栏) along streets. They might not see a car coming!
