Question

【题目】 This month, many Chinese cities are doing something special. It's called“ give way at the zebra crossing（斑马线）”.

These cities ask drivers to stop when people walk across zebra road crossings. That's to say, if people are in a crosswalk, cars must stop to let them pass. If they don't, they'll have to pay a fine of 100 to 500 yuan and they'll also lose three points（扣三分）.

Why is this rule popular now? Because many cities are working hard to carry it out（执行）.There are more cameras at zebra crossings now. Some workers can explain the rule to drivers.
