Welcome to Ontario Parks, a new body set up to manage Ontario’s most treasured special places, the parks in our area.
    We are entering a very exciting year for Ontario Parks. Last season we asked some 15,000 visitors in 45 parks how we could improve our programs and services. We also looked at the thousands of comment cards we received. As a result, new comfort stations have been added, the number of campsites has been increased, and we’ve made other fzcility(设施) improvements. In addition, we’ll be providing more educational programs. This year, for example, more than 40 parks will offer special day and evening activities to excite your curiosity about nature and history.
    Through the Internet, you’ll be happy to know that you can now explore all 270 parks on line. Let your family plan your park vacation, study a map of canoe routes, listen to the call of a loon or find up-to-date information about programs, services and facilities.

  So come and discover what Ontario Parks has to offer. Our parks are places to go with families and friends, for relaxation and fun, or simply to get away from it all. They are places where we can enrich our souls and “recharge our internal(内部的) batteries”. They provide chances to explore nature, see wildlife, swim, canoe, camp, hike, picnic, ride a bike… You’ll enjoy some of the best outdoor experiences available anywhere in the world.

We urge you to make 2006 the year that you come out and have an Ontario Parks experience!

Cities alarmed by deaths and injuries of pedestrians are taking efforts to make crosswalks safer for people on foot, especially seniors and children who need more time to cross streets.

  A pedestrian is killed in a traffic accident in the USA every 110 minutes; one is injured every nine minutes, according to official data. Crosswalks can be especially dangerous for the elderly. Among people 70 and older, 36% of pedestrian deaths in 2006 occurred in crosswalks, compared   with 21% of those younger than 70, according to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety.

   The Federal Highway Administration(FHWA) advise that next year states increase by nearly 15% the amount of  time traffic lights provide for pedestrians to cross the street after the flashing orange hand appears.

FHWA spokesman Doug Hecox says reasons for the change include an aging population that needs more time to cross, health-conscious Americans walking more, children encouraged to walk to prevent getting overweight and high gas prices pushing people to walk instead of drive.

Pedestrian deaths went down by 12% from 5,449 in 1996 to 4,784 in 2006, Bur among those in 2006, 471 were killed in crosswalks, down slightly from 488 ten years earlier, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration(NHTSA) says.

A. Among 100 pedestrian deaths there were 21 people younger than 70

B. Old people are more likely to meet with accidents happened per hour.

C. Traffic accidents killed more old people than young people

D. About seven traffic accidents happened per hour.

54. What is FHWA’s suggestion to states?

C. Giving pedestrians more time to cross streets.

D. Drivers don’t give way

56. The report from NHTSA suggests that         

A. fewer people were injured in crosswalks
