    阅读下面短文并回答问题，然后将答案写到答题卡相应的位置上（请注意问题后的词数要求）。

[1] It’s 9 a.m, the morning rush hour in Toronto. A man has fallen down on a downtown street suddenly. Several passersby stop to help the man. One woman reaches into her purse for her cell phone and hits 911, the emergency number. Three minutes later, sirens (警报) are heard in the distance as a police car, an ambulance and a fire truck race to the area. Within ten minutes, the stricken man is in the back of an ambulance and went to the hospital for life-saving treatment.

       [2] This scene is fairly common in Toronto and other major cities. Over the years, cities have developed systems to respond quickly to emergencies. It has resulted in many lives being saved. But none of this __________ without the cooperation of car drivers who yield (让路) to emergency vehicles on busy downtown streets. In fact, it’s against the law for drivers not to yield.

       [3] To yield means to give away or, more specifically, to get out of the way. It means pulling to the side of the road to let others pass. As yet, China does not have any specific laws that require drivers to yield, whether it is for slower cars to move over to the inside lane of a highway or for all cars to give way to emergency vehicles. Recently, an injured Beijing cyclist died on the way to hospital because the ambulance carrying him got stuck in city traffic. Drivers did not yield when they heard the ambulance’s siren.

       [4] In Canada, failing to yield to an emergency vehicle can result in a fine of $400-$2,000 and reduction of three points off your license. That’s for a first offence. A second offence results in a bigger fine, the loss of your driver’s license for two years and a possible jail sentence. The punishment is severe because lives are in danger.

       [5] Safe driving depends on drivers being aware of the traffic around them and yielding when necessary. And yielding to emergency vehicles only makes sense. It saves lives and, who knows, someday it may save your own.
