题目内容

Driving in Canada is similar to driving in many parts of the United States. Distances and speeds, however, are posted in kilometers per hour and some signs, particularly in Quebec, may only be in French.

Unless otherwise posted, the maximum (最大限度的) speed limit in Canada is 50km/hr in cities and 80km/hr on highways. On rural highways, the posted speed limit may be 100km/hr. It is not allowed to take automobile radar detectors (汽车雷达检测器) into Quebec, Ontario, Manitoba, and the Yukon. Seat belt use is required by law for all passengers, and child car seats must be used by children under 40 pounds. Some provinces require drivers to keep their vehicles’ headlights on during the day and some have banned (禁止) driving while using a hand-held cell phone. Motorcycles cannot share a lane (车道), and safety helmets for motorcycle riders and passengers are necessary. Running a red light is a serious crime throughout Canada and drivers are advised to stop before starting when a light turns green.

Winter travel can be dangerous due to heavy snowfalls and icy conditions. Some roads and bridges are often closed in winter. Snow tires are required in some provinces. Travelers should also be careful about animals while driving at night in rural areas.

Highway 401, from Detroit to Montreal, is one of the busiest highways in North America. It has been the scene of many deadly traffic accidents due to sudden and severe weather changes, high rates of speed, and heavy truck traffic. Thus drivers should be alert while travelling here.

Believe it or not, optical illusion(错觉) can cut highway crashes.

Japan is a case in point. It has reduced automobile crashes on some roads by nearly 75 percent using a simple optical illusion. But stripes, called chevrons(人字形), painted on the roads make drivers think that they are driving faster than they really are, and thus drivers slow down.

Now the American Automobile Association Foundation(基金会) for Traffic Safety in Washington D.C. is planning to repeat Japan’s success. Starting next year, the foundation will paint chevrons and other patterns of stripes on selected roads around the country to test how well the patterns reduce highway crashes.

Excessive (too great) speed plays a major role in as much as one fifth of all fatal traffic accidents, according to the foundation. To help reduce those accidents, the foundation will conduct its tests in areas where speed-related hazards (danger) are the greatest curves, exit slopes, traffic circles, and bridges.

Some studies suggest that straight, horizontal bars painted across roads can initially cut the average speed of drivers in half. However, traffic often returns to full speed within months as drivers become used to seeing the painted bars.

Chevrons, scientists say, not only give drivers the impression that they are driving faster than they really are but also make a lane appear to be narrower. The result is a longer lasting reduction in highway speed and the number of traffic accidents.

The passage mainly discusses ________.

A. a new way of highway speed control

B. a new pattern for painting highways

C. a new way of training drivers

D. a new type of optical illusion

On roads painted with chevrons, drivers tend to feel that ________.

A. they should avoid speed-related hazards

B. they are driving in the wrong lane

C. they should slow down their speed

D. they are coming near to the speed limit

The advantage of chevrons over straight, horizontal bars is that the former ________.

A. can keep drivers awake B. can cut road accidents in half

C. will look more attractive D. will have a longer effect on drivers

The American Automobile Association Foundation for Traffic Safety plans to ________.

A. try out the Japanese method in certain areas

B. change the road signs across the country

C. replace straight, horizontal bars with chevrons

D. repeat the Japanese road patterns

What does the author say about straight, horizontal bars painted across roads?

A. They are suitable only on broad roads.

B. They are falling out of use in the United States.

C. They are ignored in a long period of time.

D. They cannot be used successfully to traffic circles.

How often do you let other people’s nonsense change your mood? Do you let a bad driver, impolite waiter，rude boss, or an insensitive（迟钝的）employee 36 your day?

One day I was in a taxi and we headed 37 the airport．We were driving in the 38 lane when suddenly a black car drove out of a parking space right in front of us．My taxi driver slammed on his 39 ，slid sideways，and at the very last moment our car stopped and 40 the other car by just inches! The driver of the other car looked around and started 41 at us．

My taxi driver just 42 and waved at the guy．And I mean he was really 43 ．So I asked，“Why did you just do that? This guy almost ruined your car and sent us to the hospital!” This is when my taxi driver taught me what I now call “The Law of the Garbage Truck”(垃圾车定律)．

He explained that many people are like garbage trucks．They run around full of 44 ，full of frustration，full of anger，and full of disappointment．As their garbage 45 up，they need a place to dump it and sometimes they’ll dump it on 46 . Don’t take it personally: Just smile, wave, wish them well, and move on．

Believe me. You’ll be 47 ．Don’t take their garbage and 48 it to other people at work, at home，or on the streets．Life’s too short to wake up in the morning with 49 . The mark of your success is how quickly you can refocus on what’s 50 in your life, Roy Baumeister，a psychology researcher from Florida State University，found in his extensive research that you 5l bad things more often than good things in your life，you store the bad memories more easily，and you 52 them more frequently．

Therefore，love the people who treat you right and ignore the ones who don’t．Life is ten percent what you make it and ninety percent how you 53 it!

When you follow “The Law of the Garbage Truck”, you take back control of your life! You make room for the good by 54 go of the bad．Have a marvelous，garbage-free day! The seeds you plant today 55 the harvest you will reap tomorrow．

“There she is, Buddy, just like I told you upstairs．His brother gave it to him for Christmas and it didn’t cost him a cent．And some day I’m going to give you one just like it… Then you can see for yourself all the nice things in the Christmas window that I’ve been trying to tell you about.”
