16．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．
"Chinese style road crossing"has become a hot expression recently．Chinese people"cross roads without thinking about traffic lights，so long as（只要）they are part of a crowd"，said a post on Sina Weibo．
A CCTV news program showed that in only an hour，more than 600people jumped red lights when crossing a road at a crossing in Shijiazhuang，Hebei．
Many people say that they jaywalk（乱闯马路）because the red light lasts too long．Such an opinion is supported by a research team at Tongji University．The team did research on people's waiting times at different road crossings from 2008to 2010．They found that Chinese people would wait for 70to 90seconds before they lost their patience．"People are likely to ignore the light when the waiting time is longer than they can stand，"said Ni Ying，a member of the research team．
However，a survey on Sina Weibo suggested that half of respondents（调查对象）believe that people jaywalk mainly because they disregard（忽视）rules．"I always obey traffic rules．Time is important but safety should come first，"wrote"Qixiaoe"on Weibo．
Many countries give out punishments to jaywalkers．In Singapore，the maximum（最大量） can be three months in prison．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．

15．How could we tell time if there were no watches or clocks anywhere in the world？
The sun was probably the world's first"clock"，except in the far north，where the Eskimos （爱斯基摩人） live．There，it's dark most of the winter，and light most of the summer．But in most of the world，people have used the sun for a clock．Even today，if you don't have a clock，you still know that when the sun shines，it's day，and when it's dark，it's night．The sun can also tell you if it's morning，noon，or afternoon．
People who live near the sea can tell time from the tides．In the daytime，for about six hours，the water rises higher and higher on the beach．And then it goes down and down for about six hours．The same thing happens again at night．There are two high tides and two low tides every 24hours．
Seamen on a ship learn how to tell time by looking at the moon and the stars．The whole sky is their clock．
In some places in the world the wind comes up at about the same time every day or changes direction or stops blowing．In these places the wind can be the clock．
A sand clock is an even better clock．If you had fine dry sand in a glass shaped like the one in the picture，you would have what is called an hourglass．The sand in the hourglass goes from the top part to the bottom part in exactly one hour．When the hourglass is turned over，the sand will take another hour to go back again．

14．A computer can get very hot when it works on a lot of programs．It can cost a lot to cool the computer．So some scientists want to know what would happen if the heat from the computer could be used．
Large Internet companies such as Google and Microsoft have thousands of computers．As these computers deal with information，they produce lots of heat，so they need huge cooling systems．These systems send the heat into the air．
A company in Holland thinks paying to make the computers work and then paying again to cool them are a waste of energy．So the company developed a special device-the e-Radiator．
Boaz Leupe，head of the company，says that e-Radiator works as a heating system and saves money．He explains that the energy is used twice-once to heat the home and once to cool the computer and that the users don't have to pay to cool their computers．
Five homeowners in Holland are testing the heating system in their homes．
"We pay for the computer using，so，in that way，homeowners get heating for free．"Boaz says．
Jan Visser is one of the homeowners．"If you use the computer more，the e-Radiator producers more heat，"he says，"It cannot provide enough heat if you don't use your computer often．"But he is ready to try it．It's a great help for his family．

13．As a kid，I read a story of a bird．It described a male bird which takes a lot of pain to build a house and the female bird takes care of the baby in it．When the baby bird learns to fly，the whole family flies off to a different place leaving behind the beautiful nest for other birds to grow their family in it．It made me confused（困惑的）：How could they so easily give up their house built with so much effort？
One night，I got this dream．I was walking on the endless road with beautiful trees on the either side．Attracted by the greenery，I went on，then I saw a wonderful house．I explored the house．There was a sloping（斜的） roof which matched with the greenery around； the large central open yard reminded me of the activities that might have taken place there which felt lively even now．The small water body that kept the house cool added to the beauty of the house-of course，it was all dried up now．Such liveliness turns the house into a home．People say"THE HOME IS WHERE THE HEART IS"，and now I felt it and was attracted deeply．
When I woke up from the dream，I was clear about everything．I realized what message my dream wanted to convey（传递） me．And years later，when I chose my career，I thought of the story of the bird and my dream，then I was sure what to do．I decided to choose architecture as my career．I wanted to do the same thing that the male bird in the story did，to take pain in building a beautiful house and let others stay in it．My dream comes true and the happiness that I gain now from this career is great．
