With more and more cars on the road, traffic jams (堵车) are inevitable. Traffic jams can lead to more accidents as there are more cars, with more people trying to get to their destination, all the while getting worse. Although it’s impossible to avoid traffic jams altogether, there are some tips you can follow to reduce the amount of time on the road.

Check for traffic jams before you leave. You can listen to the radio for traffic news, or check on the Internet to get up-to-minute information on traffic. If the route you want to take is heavy with traffic, you can choose another.

Look for a different route all the time. Most traffic jams happen on busy roads. Using country roads could avoid a lot of traffic. Although the distance you may have to travel is further, it can work out quicker.

Set your car radio to receive traffic bulletins. Many new car stereo systems (汽车音响系统) are equipped with a radio system by which you can hear the traffic channel. This way you can get the latest traffic information and change your journey if necessary.

__________. Most traffic jams usually occur(发生) during rush hour, so try to avoid this time period if possible. Some jobs offer flexible working hours so that you can travel to work outside of rush hour. Some jobs even allow you to work at home so as to avoid moving altogether. Ask your manager to see what you can do if traffic is a problem for you.

Use public transport instead. The easiest way to avoid traffic jams is to take buses or the underground instead of driving your own car. Not only will you avoid traffic jams but you will most likely be saving money.

【题目】Becoming a Minimalist

I have loo many things. My bedroom is often very messy. I have shelves with dirty books I never read and CDs 1 don't listen to. My drawers are filled with clothes I never wear. I was getting upset that I never had any space in my bedroom.Then I read about minimalism. Minimalism suggests that you only keep the most necessary and important things and get rid of (处理掉)everything else .After reading about minimalism I felt encouraged to solve my problem.started clearing out a lot of the things which I didn’t use. I collected bags of clothes to give to charity. I sold some of my CDs and books online.Although I know that I would never need these things again ,I still found it very difficut to get rid of them.My brain tried to stop me from letting them go. I said lo myself §I might need them in ihc fulure!¨ or §won’t I be sad if I lose that?¨But the things was,I knew I couldn’t keep everything.

After getting lots of thing out of my room, I actually became quite excited to see the tidy room with some fresh space. And on organized bedroom also makes me have a clear and organized mind! The main idea behind minimalism is to cut down what you own, and by doing this you can really value the things you have, It’s not easy to be a minimalist. We are often told that it is better to have more things. Advertisements try to make us believe that we will only be happy by spending more money to buy more things. Of course I’m not a perfect minimalist—I’ve only just started I still own a lot of things which I don’t really need , but 1 think this was a good start. In the future f I will be more mindful of what I buy. And I will continue to make an effort to get rid of what I don#l need.
