         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. Fixing more traffic lights
    B. Providing more crosswalks
    C. Giving pedestrians more time to cross streets
    D. Drivers don't give way
    3.  What’s the cause of the crosswalk safety problem according to the text?
    A. There’re many cars and buses on the road.                         
    B. Pedestrians are careless.
    C. Crosswalks are more crowded than before.

    阅读理解

    　　China has a wealth of classical literature dating from as far back as the Eastern Zhou Dynasty and including the Classics, whose compilation(收集，选编)is attributed to Confucius．Among these, the most important classics in Chinese literature include the Yijing, the Shijing, the Shujing, the Liji, the Chunqiu and the Lunyu．

    　　The earliest and most influential poetic collection was the Chuci, made up mainly of poems by Qu Yuan and his follower Song Yu．The songs in this collection are more lyrical and romantic and represent a different tradition from the earlier written Shijing．During the Han Dynasty, this form developed into the fu, a poem usually composed in rhymed verse except for the introductory and concluding passages, which are often in the form of questions and answers．

    　　Classical poetry in China reached its peak during the Tang Dynasty．The early Tang period was best known for a number of poetic styles including the lushi, an eight-line poem with five or seven words in each line; and the jueju, a four-line poem with five or seven words in each line．The two best-known poets of this period were Li Bai and Du Fu．Li Bai was known for the romanticism in his poetry, while Du Fu was seen as a Confucian moralist with a strict sense of duty toward society．

    　　Later Tang poets developed greater realism and social criticism within their work and improved the art of narration．One of the best known of the later Tang poets was Bai Juyi, whose poems were an inspired yet critical comment of the society of his time．

    　　As the classical style of poetry became redundant(多余的), a more flexible poetic medium, the ci, arrived on the scene．The ci, a poetic form of Central Asian origin based on the tunes of popular songs, was developed to its fullest by the poets of the Song Dynasty．
