Even kids know that we should wait for the traffic light to turn green before crossing a road, but not everybody follows this basic rule.

“Chinese style road crossing” has become a hot expression recently. Chinese people “cross roads without thinking about traffic lights, so long as（只要）they are part of a crowd”, said a post on Sina Weibo.

A CCTV news program showed that in only an hour, more than 600 people jumped red lights when crossing a road at a crossing in Shijiazhuang, Hebei.

Many people say that they jaywalk（亂闖馬路）because the red light lasts too long. Such an opinion is supported by a research team at Tongji University. The team did research on people’s waiting times at different road crossings from 2008 to 2010. They found that Chinese people would wait for 70 to 90 seconds before they lost their patience. “People are likely to ignore(忽視) the light when the waiting time is longer than they can stand,” said Ni Ying, a member of the research team.

However, a survey on Sina Weibo suggested that half of the respondents（調(diào)查對象）believe that people jaywalk mainly because they disregard（忽視）rules.“I always obey traffic rules. Time is important but safety should come first,” wrote “Qixiaoe” on Weibo.

Many countries give out punishments to jaywalkers. In Singapore, the maximum(最大量) can be three months in prison. Some Chinese cities have started taking some actions, too. For example, the first three people in a jaywalking group will be fined 50 yuan in Shijiazhuang.

But calling on people to respect rules is more important. To completely solve the problem, everyone should realize the importance of obeying the traffic rules.

1.Which of the following is the “Chinese style road crossing”?

A. To wait for the traffic light to turn green.

B. To cross a road slowly.

C. To cross roads without looking at traffic lights.

D. To follow the basic traffic lights.

2.What does the phrase “the team” in Paragraph 4 refer to (指的是)?

A. A CCTV news program.

B. A research group at Tongji University.

C. A post on Sina Weibo.

D. A daily newspaper.

3.How long will Chinese people wait to cross the road before they lose patience?

A. Less than one minute.

B. About five minutes.

C. Less than one and a half minutes.

D. More than ten minutes.

4.Why do people jaywalk according to the survey on Sina Weibo?

A. Because there are too many people on the road.

B. Because the red light lasts too long.

C. Because people don’t pay much attention to rules.

D. Because people have less patience.

5.The writer suggests that we should________ to solve the problem of jaywalking.

A. punish the jaywalkers

B. disregard the traffic rules

C. reduce the time of red lights

D. call on people to obey the traffic lights
