At one time the only danger on the roads was from wild animals. Now the roads are full of cars, trucks and buses. These vehicles are as dangerous as those wild animals.
People are killed every day while crossing the road. Most of them are old people and children. Old people are killed because they usually cannot see or hear very well. Children are killed because they are not very careful. They forget to look and listen before they cross the road.
A car, a truck or a bus cannot stop very quickly. If the vehicle is going very fast, it will travel many metres before it stops. Pedestrians (行人) do not always understand this. They think a car
can stop at once. The faster a car is traveling, the longer it takes to stop. It is very difficult for a pedestrian to know how fast a car is travelling. He may think it is going slowly when in fact it is going very fast.
The only safe way to cross the road is to look both ways, right and left. Then if the road is clear, it is safe to cross. You had better walk quickly. It is not safe to run. If people run, they may fall down.
56. W hat does the underlined word “vehicles” in the first paragraph mean?
A. Animals, drivers and people
B. Drivers, animals and trucks
C. Pedestrians, cars and animals
D. Cars, trucks and buses
57. The roads are not safe now because _________.
A. they are full of vehicles
B. they are full of old people
C. they are full of children
D. they are full of animals
58. Old people are killed when they cross the road because they _______.
A. often forget things.
B. are often careless.
C. usually cannot run quickly
D. usually cannot see or hear well
59. Pedestrians often don’t know _______.
A. where to cross the road
B. how to drive a car
C. vehicles can travel quickly
D. vehicles cannot stop in a very short time
60. Which of the following is NOT TRUE?
C. If a car is going slowly, it can stop easily.
B. Young people cannot be killed when they cross the road.
D. If a car is going very quickly, it is hard to make it stop at once.
A. The right way to cross the road is to look both ways and then walk quickly across it if there
are no vehicles.
