　　In Chicago, a computerized system has been developed that controls(管理)traffic on the city’s 235 miles of seven expressways．Now one－a controller－can follow the movement of Chicago’s traffic by looking at a set of lights．The system uses electric sensors(感应器)that are built into each expressway, every half a mile．Several times a second, the computer receives information from each sensor and translates it into green, yellow or red lights on a map in the control room．A green light means traffic is moving forty-five miles an hour, yellow means thirty to forty-five miles an hour, and red means heavy traffic－cars standing still or moving less than thirty miles an hour．

　　“See that red light near Austin Avenue?”the controller asked a visitor．“That’s a repair truck fixing the road, and the traffic has to go around it．”At the Roosevelt Road entrance to the expressway, the light kept changing from green to red and back to green again．“A lot of trucks get on the expressway there,”the controller explained．“They can’t speed up as fast as cars．”The sensors show immediately where an accident or a stopped car is blocking the traffic, and a truck is sent by radio to clear the road．The system has lowered the number of accidents by 18 percent．There are now 1．4 deaths on Chicago’s expressway for each one hundred million miles traveled, while in other parts of the county there are 2.6．

　　Traffic experts say that the Chicago system is the “coming thing”．Systems like Chicago’s are already in use on some expressways in Los Angeles and Houston．“Chicago has taken the lead,”said New York City’s traffic director and he added,“Chicago’s a good example．”

　　Big ocean(海洋)fish have almost disappeared from the world since the start of business fishing in the 1950’s．The scientists found that the number of large fish has dropped by 90 percent in the past fifty years．The study took ten years．The researchers collected records from fishing businesses and governments around the world．The magazine Nature published the findings．

　　The scientists say the common way called longline fishing is especially harmful to large fish．This way includes many fishing lines that are connected to one boat．If these lines are joined together, they can reach one hundred kilometers．They hold thousands of sharp metal hooks to catch fish．Longline fishing is especially common in the Japanese fishing industry．Records showed that Japanese boats used to catch about ten fish for every one hundred hooks．The study says longline fishing boats now might catch one fish per hundred hooks．

　　The scientists say business fishing can destroy groups of fish much faster than in the past．The study suggests that large fish can disappear almost completely from new fishing areas within ten to fifteen years．Ocean life systems could be destroyed It’s not the only worry that the number of large fish is becoming smaller and smaller．What’s worse, they are smaller in size than their ancestors(祖先)．
