Ⅳ. Read the passage and answer the questions.
Traffic safety is one of the most important problems in today’s world. Since 1896, more than 35 000 000 people have been killed in traffic accidents all over the world.
People are often killed while crossing the road. Most of these people are old people and children. Old people are often killed because they usually cannot see or hear very well. Children are often killed because they are not careful enough. They forget to look and listen before they cross the road.
If kids walk or ride their bikes to school, they need to know the rules of the road. They should stop, look to the right, and then back to the left again before they cross a road. On city streets, they have to listen to the crossing policemen and cross the street only on the crosswalk. If there is no crossing policemen, cross the street when the traffic light is green.
If kids ride bikes to school, they should walk their bikes when crossing streets instead of riding them.
It’s time for us to do something to stop traffic accidents. The best and easiest thing for us to do is to follow the traffic rules!
