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.

There are many ways for us to reduce waste. For example, we can reuse paper and plastic bags. We can also recycle newspapers, glass, and cans (易拉罐) to make new things. Here are some useful ways to reduce waste.

◆ Write on both sides of paper. Many people write on only one side of their paper. Why not stop wasting the other side? Some students only use half the pages of their notebooks before getting new ones. Try to use up all the paper. People often give cards on birthdays or festivals. How about trying to send e-cards instead?

◆ Don't throw away your old batteries. Maybe you do not know that old batteries make the Earth dirty. This is because they have poisonous parts. So, don't throw away batteries. Keep them together. Try to use rechargeable(可在充电的) batteries for your games and CD players.

◆ Donate (捐赠) all your unwanted clothes. There are many poor families in China. You may ask your mother to collect your unwanted clothes. Then you can pass them on to those poor children who do not have clothes to wear. You will feel happy that you are helping someone else. Also, you can ask if your friends or relatives want them before throwing them away.
