5．The capital city of South Korea，Seoul，is putting up 300 new street sings with the purpose of（41）warning （warn） pedestrians about the dangers of walking while absorbed in their smartphones．
he first signs have been at five locations in the hope（42）that they'll stop"smartphone sleepwalkers"in their tracks．One sign at a major traffic crossroad shows a person staring at a handheld device（设备），（43）completely （complete） unaware of the danger of being hit by a car．
While some signs（44）are attached （attach）to traffic light poles，others are on the pavement in order to attract those looking down（45）at their mobile devices．But some locals aren't sure whether those signs will work．One man points out that"most people（46）who/that are usin their phones on the street aren't going to be able to see them"
More than 1000 smartphone-related traffic collisions were recorded in South Korea in 2014，（47）compared （compare） to 437 such incidents in 2009．South Korea has one of the （48）highest （high） smartphone ownership rate in the world，but like many Asian countries it's also been trying to handle rising levels of （49）addiction （addict） to the devices．
While Seoul's innovation（创新） is government-funded，two Swedish artists（50）had （have） a similar idea late last year，putting up unofficial smartphone warning signs in Stockholm．

20．A rat looked through a crack in the wall to see the farmer and his wife opening a package．What food might it contain？He was alarmed to discover that it was a rat trap （捕鼠夹）．
Going back to the farmyard the rat gave a warning："There is a rat trap in the house，a rat trap in the house!"The chicken raised her head and said："Excuse me，Mr Rat，I can tell this is a big concern to you，but it is of no business to me．I cannot be bothered with it．"
The rat turned to the pig and told him："There is a rat trap in the house，a rat trap in the house!""I am so very sorry，Mr．Rat，"sympathized the pig，"but there is nothing I can do about it but pray．I will make sure that you are in my prayers．"
The rat turned to the cow．She said，"Like wow，Mr．Rat．A rat trap．I am in grave danger．Duh？"
So the rat returned to the house，head down and dejected，to face the farmer's rat trap alone．
That very night a sound was heard throughout the house，like the sound of a rat trap catching its prey （猎物）．The farmer's wife rushed to see what was caught．In the darkness，she did not see that it was a poisonous snake whose tail the trap had caught．The snake bit the farmer's wife．
The farmer rushed her to the hospital．She returned home with a fever．Now everyone knows you treat a fever with fresh chicken soup，so the farmer took his hatchet （短柄斧） to the farmyard for the soup's main ingredient．
His wife's sickness continued so that friends and neighbors came to sit with her around the clock．To feed them the farmer killed the pig．
The farmer's wife did not get well．She died，and so many people came for her funeral that the farmer had the cow killed to provide meat for all of them to eat．
So the next time you hear that someone is facing a problem and think that it does not concern you，remember that when there is a rat trap in the house，the whole farmyard is at risk．

The helicopter，（59）Which came to their rescue，flew about 100 feet above the two men （60）to avoid（avoid） removing any of the ground．The two were not only on unstable ground，but one of them was holding the other．（61）Therefore，the rescue work was very difficult．The rescue workers had to be extremely careful as the （62）conditions （condition） underfoot were just too unpredictable．
One of the rescue workers went down on the wire from the helicopter and managed to quickly secure a rope around the（63）lower（low） of the two men，before lifting him to the aircraft．（64）Theame procedure was repeated for his walking partner．
The two walkers raised the alarm at 11.05am on Sunday and were rescued by 12.20pm．（65）Neitherof them was injured but they were left"very shaken"by the experience．Both walkers were said to be experienced and well-equipped．

One person asked me，"Why do you try to help these people？They are not very nice？"My answer （65）was（be），"If it affects one person then it's a good thing，"It doesn't matter whether it has an impact （66）onanyone else．What matters is that I'm the （67）best（good） person I can be．
I know those （68）printed（print） stories and articles are read because they keep getting moved about．So，（69）eventually（eventual），like sandpaper against a rough surface，（70）thesurface will become smooth and the messages will get through．How long it takes really doesn't matter．

（19）B According to some psychologists，if parents are always telling a child that he or she is a fool or an idiot，then the child is more likely to keep doing silly and foolish things．So it is probably better for parents to say very positive （helpful） things to their children，such as"That was a very clever thing you did．"or"．（20）F"
