Even kids know that we should wait for the traffic light to turn green before crossing a road, but not everybody follows this basic rule. A CCTV news program showed that in only an hour, more than 600 people jumped red lights when crossing a road in Shijiazhuang, Hebei. “Chinese style road crossing” has become a hot expression recently. Chinese people “cross roads without thinking about traffic lights, so long as they are part of a crowd”, said a post on Sina Weibo.

Many people say that they jaywalk(乱穿马路)because the red light lasts too long. “People are likely to ignore(忽略) the light when the waiting time is longer than they can bear(忍受),”said Zhang Ming , a member of the research team. However, a survey on Sina Weibo showed that nearly half of the respondents(调查对象)believe that people jaywalk mainly because they don’t respect rules.

Some Chinese cities have started taking some actions, too. For example, the first three people in a jaywalking group will be fined 50yuan in Shijiazhuang. But calling on people to obey rules is more important. To completely solve the problem, everyone should realize the importance of obeying the traffic rules.

It was a lovely spring afternoon. My classmates and I were playing happily on the playground when I let out, “Ow! Ow! Something in my shoe is biting me.”

Everyone was shocked by the cry. They took me into a classroom and were about to take off my _________ . “Which foot is it?” one asked. “Let us have a look.”

Suddenly, I remembered the holes in _________ socks. My family was very poor during those years. I wore welfare socks, which cost only a little, but those _________ welfare socks didn’t last long. They soon had _________ at the bottom.

I refused to take off my shoes. I _________ stand others seeing the holes in my sock. I tried to hold back my tears. Yet, each time the thing _________ my shoe bit me, tears raced down my face.

My teacher, Miss Diane, hurried into the _________ . “What’s wrong?” she asked.

“Something is biting her right foot, _________ she doesn’t let us take off her shoe.” one of my classmates answered.

“Oh, yes, it must be a sock-eating ant,” she said, as if she had _________ seen the thing inside the shoe. “I had a bite from one of those ants. By the time I got my shoe off, it had _________ almost the whole bottom off my sock.” My classmates nodded while they were listening to the teacher _________, although they all looked a little puzzled.

“Just what I thought. The ants have eaten part of her sock.” When she stroked an alcohol cotton ball on the bites, she added,” You are such a _________ girl to take so many bites.”
