“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(喇叭聲) 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(亂穿馬路). 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.
【小題1】The underlined word “intersection” here probably means “       ”.

A．road B．bridge
C．crossing D．traffic
【小題2】The writer saw people      in Shanghai that day.
A．crossing the road in a mess
B．waiting for the green light patiently
C．crossing the road with chickens
D．hurting each other in the street
【小題3】How does the writer like what he saw in Shanghai that day?
A．He thinks it’s OK.
B．He thinks it’s wrong.
C．He has no idea of it.
D．He doesn’t mention it


【小題1】C
【小題2】A
【小題3】B

解析試題分析：短文大意：在上海亂穿馬路是非常普遍的。然而交通法規(guī)是為了保障人民安全。所以我們應(yīng)該服從他們，并有良好的道路交通習(xí)慣。當(dāng)有人開始亂穿馬路，我們應(yīng)該阻止他，不要跟著他。這樣我們就可以避免交通事故。
【小題1】詞義猜測題。根據(jù)第二段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.可推斷得知選C。
【小題2】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段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(喇叭聲) and kept crossing the road in a mess.得知選A。
【小題3】推理推斷題。通過最后一段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.推測得知選B。

People who have several close friends often live happier and healthier lives.
Another secret to living a happy life is to be active. Many people go dancing or play sports. People can forget about their problems and only think about the activities. Finally, many people find happiness in helping others.      Studies show that people feel good when they spend their time helping others.
