Local police will begin pulling over drivers and cyclists tomorrow so they can fill out a survey to help the city better understand and improve its traffic situation.

The survey, which will run from tomorrow until the end of the year, is the biggest of its kind in the city's history. It will be used to gather information about traffic patterns to help future urban planning, particularly for the World Expo in 2010.

“The survey is to determine the city's daily and weekly traffic situations,” Zhang Yan, a senior engineer at the Shanghai Urban Planning and Design Research Institute, said yesterday. This is the third time the city has conducted a large-scale traffic survey. The other two surveys were conducted in 1986 and 1995.

Officials will send questionnaires to pedestrians and drivers, record traffic jams in major areas, and analyze the information from electronic traffic signs.

The Road Administrative Office will also survey traffic outside the Outer Ring Road, paying particular attention to vehicles entering or exiting the city.

“With more vehicles from neighboring provinces, we have to find it out how many, when and for what purposes those vehicles are coming to the city,” said Dong Hui, a spokeswoman for the Road Administrative Office.

Officials from her office will stop about half of the vehicles passing by 53 major venues (场所) tomorrow and ask drivers to fill out questionnaires about where they are coming from, where they are headed and whether their trip is for private or business purposes.

1. Who is likely to be stopped by the police for the questions?

A. A student returning home from school.

B. A dustman cleaning a parking lot.    

C. A customer shopping in a market.

D. A garage worker repairing a car.

2. Shanghai has decided to start such a survey because it wants to ________.

A. reduce traffic accidents

B. satisfy the future need

C. make the road users happy

D. make more money

3. Where are the 53 major venues mentioned in the last paragraph?

A. Outside the Outer Ring Road.         

B. We're not told about it in the passage.

D. Both outside and inside the Outer Ring Road.

Brian arrived at the San Francisco airport two hours before the flight to Paris. He was wearing three shirts, a jacket, two pairs of socks, a pair of shorts, and two pairs of jeans. He was carrying one small backpack, which was very full, but he didn’t have any other luggage. Brian needed to meet a man named Tony before he checked in for his flight. He found Tony near the Air France counter. Tony gave him a round-trip ticket and a small package. 
“Give this package to Jean-Paul at the airport in Paris. He will have a sign with your name on it. I think you can find him easily, “Tony said.” You don’t have any luggage, right?”
“Only this backpack,” Brian answered. “You said I could bring one carry-on bag.”
“That’s right, one carry-on bag is fine. Have a good trip.”
“Thanks.”
Is Brian a criminal(犯罪)? Not at all. He is an air courier. And he paid only $110 for the round-trip ticket to Paris. Air couriers get cheap airline tickets because they take important packages and papers to foreign countries. Businesses sometimes need to get packages and papers to people in foreign countries by the next day. Often, the only way they can do this is to use an air-courier company. It is not cheap for a business to send a package with an air courier, but it is quick. 
Every year about 80, 000 people worldwide travel as air couriers. The number of tickets for courier travel is growing by about 10 percent a year. However, air-courier travel isn’t for everyone, But if you have very little money, can be flexible(灵活的)about your travel plans, and don’t mind wearing the same clothes for a week, it can be a great way to take a vacation!
