“Chinese style road crossing” became a hot topic in China from the end of last year. Now, many cities have started to punish these jaywalkers (亂闖馬路的人).
“Chinese style road crossing” means crossing roads without thinking about traffic lights, as long as you are part of a crowd.
Beijing Traffic Management Bureau (北京交通管理局) announced that from April 6, people who do not wait for the green light to cross the road will receive a fine of 10 yuan. Officials from the bureau said that using the diagonal (對(duì)角線) to cross the road is also against the rules. Walkers should walk in an “L” shape.
Besides Beijing, many places have also taken steps to stop “Chinese style road crossing”. Provinces such as Sichuan, Shanxi and Zhejiang have already started to fine jaywalkers 5 to 50 yuan since last year.
Road traffic deaths top the list of deaths from non-natural causes in China, Xinhua reported. The action to punish behaviors that go against traffic rules calls on people to realize the importance of traffic safety.
However, many people complain that the red lights last too long. “But as long as the design of traffic lights is the same, everyone should follow the rulers. Otherwise the country will lose its order,” said People’s Daily.
Some cities have also paid attention to the problem. Beijing Traffic Management Bureau, for example, said it would not only focus on punishment, but also improve road safety facilities (設(shè)施), such as fixing traffic lights in a more proper way and building overpasses (天橋).

“Can I see my baby?" asked the happy new mother. When the baby was in her arms, she found the baby had been born without ears.
Time proved that the baby's hearing was perfect. He got on well with his classmates. But one day, he rushed home and said to his mother with tears in his eyes, "A boy, a big boy ... called me a freak（怪胎）"
The boy grew up. He developed a gift, a talent for literature（文學(xué)）and music.
The boy's father had a meeting with the family doctor. "Could anything be done?" he asked the doctor.
"I believe I could graft（移植）a pair of outer ears, if you could get them," the doctor said.
However, two years went by, but nobody wanted to offer the young man ears. Then one day the father said, "Son, someone will donate his ears to you. But it's a secret." The operation was a great success.
Time kept the secret, but the day did come ... One day, the young man stood with his father beside his mother's body. Slowly, the father held out a hand and raised the thick brown hair. To his surprise, the son found his mother had no outer ears.
"Mother said she was glad she never let her long hair be cut," he said gently, "and nobody ever thought Mother less beautiful, did they?"
Real love lies not in what is done and known, but in what is done but not known.

Are you left-handed? If you are, you make up just 10% of the world’s population.小題1:  Most people write and play musical instruments with their right hands.
Why are so few people left-handed? A new theory, called “cooperation (合作) vs competition” may have the answer.小題2:    When making tools for a right-handed person — like a knife — it was easier if everybody could use the same hand. But some humans wanted to compete instead. So to have an advantage over right-handed people, they would use their left hand to surprise competitors.
小題3:German born American scientist Albert Einstein, British physicist Isaac Newton and British biologist Charles Darwin are some famous “l(fā)efties”. At least six US presidents were left-handed, including Barack Obama, Bill Clinton, and Harry Truman.
“Lefties” are also often linked with creativity and visual (視覺(jué)) skills.
How can this be? Well, the left side of our brain is where we solve problems. The right side of our brain is where we develop creativity. Right-handers tend (傾向) to use the left side more than the right side.小題4:
“This is why there are more of them in creative areas, such as music, art and writing,” said Alan Searleman, PhD, from St. Lawrence University, New York.
小題5:They tend to have worse memories, often forgetting names and places.

Would you like to have an electric car? Do you know this kind of quiet and clean cars run on electricity(電)?
In the future, more and more people will have cars, so the cars will be in great need. But the oil won’t keep up with the number of cars on the road. So the price of oil will go up.
Electric cars aren’t perfect just yet. It can take eight hours to charge(充電) a car for only 100 miles of driving. How far that car travels depends on the weather and traffic.

To charge the car, the US Department of Energy is paying for at least 10,000 charging stations around the country. And it will cost about three dollars for each charge.
Now carmakers are looking for other ways to make the car cheaper. Then more people will use electric cars, and we’ll have a clean and nice world in the future.
小題1: Why will the cars be in great need in the future?
小題2: How long does it take to charge an electric car for only 100 miles of driving?
