四、阅读短文，根据短文内容选择正确答案。
If you are planning a trip to France in the future，you should be careful with the roads you take because some of them may just disappear.
The Passage du Gois（格伊斯通道）in France，which is a natural passage first discovered in 1701，connects the mainland of France and a small island called Noirmoutier. It is about 4.2 kilometers in length. What has made the passage famous is that it periodically（周期性地）floods. Twice a day，it disappears under about four meters of water. The passage is accessible only during low tide（潮）in a day. People can drive on the passage half an hour before and after the low tide.
Driving on the passage may be dangerous. Some drivers are caught in the tide because they drive at the wrong time. Besides，as the passage is covered with water for most of the day，it is slippery all the time.
To ensure the safety of drivers and tourists，signs are posted on both ends of the passage to tell people whether the passage is passable or not. There are also poles（柱子）set along the passage for people to climb up when they get caught in the water. People are warned to drive slowly and make no stops on the passage. Also，they are not allowed to park on the passage.
