　　What causes traffic jams? That's easy：too many cars．No, wrong．Think again．What causes much of the jamming on our streets are traffic lights．

　　Think of all the hours in your life wasted as your car journey is stopped by lights to let non-existent traffic through, and then ask yourself this：who is the better judge of when it's safe to go-you, the driver at the time and the place, or lights programmed by an absent regulator (控制器) ? Traffic lights exist as a “ease” for a man-made problem－the priority rule(优先通行法则)．This rule gives superior rights on main-road traffic at the expense of minor-road traffic and pedestrians．To interrupt the priority streams, lights are “needed”．

　　Before 1929 when the priority rule came into force, a sort of first-come, first-served rule had been common．All road users had equal rights, so a motorist arriving at a crossing gave way to anyone who had arrived first．Motorists had a simple responsibility for avoiding accident, and a duty of care to other road users．

　　In other walks of life the common-law principle of single queuing applies, but the law of the road, based on the priority rule that licenses queue-jumping and bad temper, creates battlegrounds where we have to fight for gaps and green time．

　　But when lights are out of action-when we're free of outer controls and allowed to use our own judgment-harmonious attitudes become common．We approach slowly and find our way in turn．People are kind to each other, but when lights start working, traffic jams return．

　　The traffic lights encourage us to take our eyes off the road to watch the signals, rather than do the safer thing：weigh up what other motorists, cyclists or pedestrians are intending to do．

　　Not only do traffic lights help to lengthen journeys pointlessly, but also the UK's large number of 24-hour traffic lights amounts to GPH(严重的全球性危害)．About 30 percent of our CO2 output is from traffic．Professor David Hegg, the influential transport expert, admits that 40 percent of that comes from traffic：waiting．Every litre of fuel burnt produces 2.4 kg of our CO2 and other greenhouse gases．Multiply the minutes of forced waiting at controlled lights by the hours in the day and night, by the days in the year, by the number of vehicles, and the environmental effect becomes clear．

阅读下面短文，并按照题目要求用英语回答问题。

I really dislike cars, and driving in general. Now, the technology of the World Wide Web allows me to complain to the entire world. So bear with me as I detail my reasons. . .

Driving is wasting time—I don’t learn anything. I won’t be a better person when I get in a car.

Sitting in a car is bad for you. Human bodies need to move, and poorly designed car seats only make our bodies hurt more.

Driving demands all your attention. Any small diversion (分散)of attention, like changing the radio station or yawning (打哈欠), can result in death. Who wants to die for a yawn?

Cars pollute the air. They make walking down the street a terrible experience.

Cars take away much of my freedom. I have to feed it gas and oil regularly, etc. It seems that I’m the slave of the car. Not to mention the thousands of dollars per year to keep it running.

Have you ever noticed the huge part of society’s resources that goes to the car industry service? Look at the number of car commercials on TV and on the radio. Look at the vast amount of land space given to gas stations, repair shops, roads, parking lots, etc. Look at the huge amount of time people spend driving and serving their cars.

______________________. Whenever someone dies in a plane crash, there’s a huge public outcry(大声疾呼) for the FAA (联邦航运局) to spend millions of dollars pouring over regulations, investigation, etc. Yet every year 40, 000 people die in car crashes in the US alone!  And no one seems to care. What’s going on here? How have we been so completely cheated?

Think of all the hours in your life wasted as your car journey is stopped by lights to let non-existent traffic through, and then ask yourself this: who is the better judge of when it’s safe to go-you, the driver at the time and the place, or lights programmed by an absent regulator (控制器) ? Traffic lights exist as a “ease” for a man-made problem—the priority rule(优先通行法则).

This rule gives superior rights on main-road traffic at the expense of minor-road traffic and pedestrians. To interrupt the priority streams, lights are “needed”.

Before 1929 when the priority rule came into force, a sort of first-come, first-served rule had been common. All road users had equal rights, so a motorist arriving at a crossing gave way to anyone who had arrived first. Motorists had a simple responsibility for avoiding accident, and a duty of care to other road users.

  In other walks of life the common-law principle of single queuing applies, but the law of the road, based on the priority rule that licenses queue-jumping and bad temper, creates battlegrounds where we have to fight for gaps and green time.

But when lights are out of action-when we’re free of outer controls and allowed to use our own judgment-harmonious attitudes become common. We approach slowly and find our way in turn. People are kind to each other, but when lights start working, traffic jams return.

The traffic lights encourage us to take our eyes off the road to watch the signals, rather than do the safer thing: weigh up what other motorists, cyclists or pedestrians are intending to do.

Not only do traffic lights help to lengthen journeys pointlessly, but also the UK’s large number of 24-hour traffic lights amounts to GPH(严重的全球性危害). About 30 percent of our CO2 output is from traffic. Professor David Hegg, the influential transport expert, admits that 40 percent of that comes from traffic: waiting. Every litre of fuel burnt produces 2.4 kg of our CO2 and other greenhouse gases. Multiply the minutes of forced waiting at controlled lights by the hours in the day and night, by the days in the year, by the number of vehicles, and the environmental effect becomes clear.
