12.Believe it or not,optical illusion(错觉) can cut highway crashes.
Japan is a case in point.It has reduced automobile crashes on some roads by nearly 75percent using a simple optical illusion.But stripes,called chevrons(人字形),painted on the roads make drivers think that they are driving faster than they really are,and thus drivers slow down.
Now the American Automobile Association Foundation for Traffic Safety in Washington D.C.is planning to repeat Japan's success.Starting next year,the foundation will paint chevrons and other patterns of stripes on selected roads around the country to test how well the patterns reduce highway crashes.
Excessive (too great) speed plays a major role in as much as one fifth of all fatal traffic accidents,according to the foundation.To help reduce those accidents,the foundation will conduct its tests in areas where speed-related hazards (danger) are the greatest curves (曲线),exit slopes,traffic circles,and bridges.
Some studies suggest that straight,horizontal bars painted across roads can initially(最初) cut the average speed of drivers in half.However,traffic often returns to full speed within months as drivers become used to seeing the painted bars.
Chevrons,scientists say,not only give drivers the impression that they are driving faster than they really are but also make a lane appear to be narrower.The result is a longer lasting reduction in highway speed and the number of traffic accidents.

51.The passage mainly discussesA.
A.a new way of highway speed control
B.a new pattern for painting highways
C.a new way of training drivers
D.a new type of optical illusion
52.On roads painted with chevrons,drivers tend to feel thatC.
A.they should avoid speed-related hazards
B.they are driving in the wrong lane
C.they should slow down their speed
D.they are coming near to the speed limit
53.The advantage of chevrons over straight,horizontal bars is that the formerD.
A.can keep drivers awake     
B.can cut road accidents in half
C.will look more attractive    
D.will have a longer effect on drivers
54.The American Automobile Association Foundation for Traffic Safety plans toA.
A.try out the Japanese method in certain areas
B.change the road signs across the country
C.replace straight,horizontal bars with chevrons
D.repeat the Japanese road patterns
55.What does the author say about straight,horizontal bars painted across roads?C
A.They are suitable only on broad roads.
B.They are falling out of use in the United States.
C.They are ignored in a long period of time.
D.They cannot be used successfully to traffic circles.

Hans Christian Andersen is a Danish writer famous for his fairy tales, many of which depict (描述) characters who gain happiness in life after suffering and conflict.

Andersen’s father was a poor shoemaker and his mother worked as a washerwoman. As a child he was highly emotional, suffering all kinds of fears and shame because of his unmanly interests. Encouraged by his parents, he composed his own fairy tales and arranged puppet (木偶) theater shows. At the age of 14, Andersen moved to Copenhagen to start a career as a singer—he had a beautiful voice. He succeeded in becoming associated with Royal Theater, but he had to leave it when his voice began to change. When casually referred to as a poet, he changed his plans and began to write plays, all of which were refused.

In 1822, Jonas Collin, the director of the Royal Theater, gave Andersen a grant to enter the grammar school at Slagelse. In 1827, Andersen gained admission to Copenhagen University, where he completed his education. In 1828 he wrote a shot story on travel, a fantastic tale in the style of the German Romantic writer, E. T. A. Hofmann. He traveled widely in Europe and remained a passionate traveler all his life.

As a novelist, Andersen made his breakthrough with The Improvisatore. The story described a poor boy’s integration (融合) into society, an Ugly Duckling theme of self-discovery. The book gained international success and remains the most widely read of all his works.

In his early collections, Andersen returned to the stories that he had heard as a child, but gradually he started to create his own tales. Most of Andersen’s works were original. Only 12 of his 156 known fairy stories drew on folktales.

The ugliness of the hero or heroine in his stories often conceals (隐藏) great beauty,which is revealed (揭示) after misfortune. Some of Andersen’s tales reveal a positive belief in the victory of the good, among them, The Snow Queen and The Ugly Duckling, and some end unhappily, like the Little Match Girl. In The Little Mermaid the author expressed a longing for the ordinary life that he had never had. Andersen never married, and he died in his home in Rolighed in 1875.
