  An atlas is a book of maps.Atlases are made with different kinds of information about different parts and areas of a country or the world.They are prepared for desk use or travel use.

  Desk atlases are made for different groups of people with different needs.For example, students may use desk atlases to help learn geography, and other people may use desk atlases to study a place.A popular type of the latest atlas shows the recent fact of the world.New atlases are often carefully produced to help people learn about the changes, such as the name changes, boundary(边界)changes and other important new information.A desk atlas can also have some different maps of the same place.For example, an atlas may include maps showing population and important products of a place.

  Travel atlases usually show the information about both natural and man-made features(特点).So it is not surprising to find universities, airports, forests, rivers, roads as well as cities, towns and villages in them.A travel atlas is often the first thing people need when they want to start a trip in a strange place.It often has a map of a whole country, and a map with more special information of each important place in the country.Take the atlas of the United States as an example, it often has a map of the whole country and then a map of each of the fifty states.

  “Why does the chicken cross the road? To get to the other side! ”

  That's an old joke in the west, but it came to my mind again when I saw people crossing the road at the intersection of Shaanxi Road and Huaihai Road in Shanghai.

  When the traffic light was red, a group of people were waiting for the light to change.Suddenly one man began rushing to the other side of the road.Soon others followed him at the crossing and more people did the same.Just like chickens, they didn't mind the honking horns(喇叭声)and kept crossing the road in a mess.

  Every year several thousand people are either killed or hurt on the roads in Shanghai.And at least one third of them were jaywalking(乱穿马路).Jaywalking is very common in Shanghai.It seems that jaywalkers are not afraid of the danger to themselves.

  Traffic laws are to keep people safe.So we should obey them, and have good road-crossing habits.When someone starts to jaywalk, we should stop him, and never follow him.That way we can avoid the traffic accidents.

The underlined word “intersection” here probably means “ ________ ”.

[  ]

A.

road

bridge

crossing

D.

traffic
