  Believe it or not, optical illusion(视觉错觉)can cut highway accidents.

  Japan is a case in point. It has reduced traffic accidents on some roads by nearly 75 percent using a simple optical illusion. Bent(弯曲的) 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 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(样式) of stripes on certain roads around the country to test how well the patterns reduce highway accidents.

  Overspeeding plays a major role in as much as one fifth of all fatal(致命的) traffic accidents, according to the Foundation. To help reduce those accidents, the Foundation will conduct its tests in areas where speed-related dangers are the greatest-curves, exit slopes, traffic circles, and bridges.

  Some studies suggest that straight(直的), horizontal(平行的)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(车道) appear to be narrower(狭窄的). The result is a longer lasting reducing in highway speed and the number of traffic accidents.

1. The passage mainly discusses_____.

   A. a new way of highway speed control    B. a new method of training drivers

   C. a new pattern for painting highways     D. a new type of optical illusion

2. On roads painted with chevrons, drivers are likely to feel that _________ .

A. they should avoid speed-related dangers

B. they are driving in the wrong lane

C. they should slow down their speed

D. they are reaching the speed limit

3. Compared to horizontal bars, the advantage of chevrons is that _____     .

A. it can keep drivers awake 

B. it will have a longer effect on drivers

C. it can cut road accidents in half

D. it will look more attractive

4. 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

5. What does the writer say about straight, horizontal bars painted across roads?

A. The are falling out of use in the United States

B. They are likely to be taken no notice of by drivers in a short time

C. They are suitable only on broad roads.

D. They cannot have a successful effect in traffic circles
