You are traveling, and people are everywhere. You need to hurry to the train station, but you cannot find the bus stop. Suddenly, you see your bus. It is on the other side of the street, and it is leaving soon! You try to fight through the crowds, but the light turns red. You want to run across the street to catch the bus. But wait! Youd better not. If a policeman sees you, you will have to pay a fine.New traffic laws say that if people cross the street when the light is red, they can be fined as much as 40 yuan. This became a law in October last year, and it was first put into use during the May Day holiday.Traffic accidents killed more than 104,000 people in China last year. Chinese cities have more cars than ever. Drivers and pedestrians(行人) must work together to make the streets safer.The law has new rules for drivers and pedestrians. Drivers have to slow down when they are close to crosswalks. If people are in a crosswalk, cars must stop to let them walk. If there are no traffic signals(信号), drivers must also let pedestrians go first.The law also lets drivers solve problems between them more freely. In traffic accidents, if the drivers can agree on who pays for the damages, they dont need to call the police. In this way, they can solve the problem more quickly and keep the traffic moving smoothly. Of course, if someone is badly hurt or killed, they should wait for police to come.There are rules for bus drivers, too. If bus drivers smoke, drink, or make phone calls while driving, they can be fined. Buses that carry too many people are also against the law.Pedestrians will have to walk more safely under the new law. They must cross streets at crosswalks. And if there are no traffic signals, pedestrians must look to make sure it is safe to cross. Also, they should not climb over the fences along because they might not see a car coming!True or False（判断下列句子是否符合短文内容，符合的用“T”表示，不符合的用“F”表示）:（ 6分）( )78.The passage tells us about traffic accidents in China.( )79. If people walk in a crosswalk, cars must stop to let them go.( )80. The first paragraph shows that if a person crosses the street when the red light is on, he or she might be fined.( )81. Nearly 10 million people were killed in China last year.( )82. If a bus driver smokes while he is driving, he breaks the new traffic law.( )83. If neither of the drivers is badly hurt in an accident, they still have to wait for the police to come. CIf you ask someone why he or she wears clothes, the answer will probably be “ To keep warm and to cover my body”. There are the basic reasons why clothes are worn, but people also want to look attractive and appear successful to others.If people only wore clothes for warmth and to cover their bodies, most clothing would be simple and cheap. In many countries, however, clothing is sometimes very expensive. The main reason for this is not the cost of fabric or the cost of making the clothes. The clothes are expensive because of fashion.Successful businessmen, for example, often wear very expensive suits, shirts and ties. Sometimes they pay thousands of dollars for a set of suit and a tie but they pay these prices because of the famous name of the designer. A suit costing much less would be just as warm and would cover the wearers body just as well.Fashion is always changing, which means that people who want to be fashionable have to buy new clothes every few months, even if last months clothes have only been worn once or twice. Some people have closets(衣柜) full of clothes that have hardly been worn but are no longer in fashion. Being fashionable, therefore, can be a very expensive pastime（消遣）!Choose the right answer（根据短文内容，选择最恰当的答案，用A、B、C或D表示，填入空格内）：（12分）( )84.

Which of the following statements is NOT TRUE?A. Fashion is always changing because fashionable people want to keep their wearing new clothesB. Fashionable people keep buying new clothes in order to keep their closets full of different clothes.C. Fashionable people keep buying new clothes because they keep losing the clothes they already have.D. Fashionable people keep buying new clothes because they want themselves to look more attractive( )88. Why is it often expensive to be fashionable?A. Because you have to keep buying new clothes.B. Because fashionable people only wear their clothes onceC. Because fashionable clothes are made of expensive fabrics.D. Because you have to know what is in fashion.( )89. What is the main idea of this passage?A. Clothes are very important in our life.B. Fashion usually costs much money.C. Businessmen are fashionable people.D. Fashion is very important for people. DHe may still be young, but he has surprised many people! If you ask around, many will say that the music world has a new leader- the real king is Jay Chou.As a child, Jay Chou was never good at school subjects, and when he didnt get into any college, a lot of people predict that he wouldnt have much of a future in life. Growing up in a single-parent family, Jay lived a lonely childhood. Without many friends, he had a hobby of daydreaming, and only stayed in his world of music. So how did Jay get into music? As a boy, he was always silent, and was thought to be retarded（智力迟钝）. He couldnt focus on math or science, and didnt bother with his English homework.But his mother noticed that the quiet, shy boy seemed quite active when he listened to the Western pop music. “He was sensitive(敏感的) to music before he could walk,” she said. His mother sent him to a piano school when he was four. And the kid could play. He practiced the piano very hard. He focused on the keys in a way that other children of his age focused on ice cream. With all musical talent（天赋）, it isnt surprising that Jay started out as a songwriter. Since the age of sixteen, he has been writing songs for many of the most popular singers. Today, he has already written for some of the most popular Asian singers, including Coco Lee and Jack Wu.At first, his mom was always worried about his future, but he never did, “I know I still have music to depend on. I have a lot of confidence, and Im so sure of myself,” he said.Answer the questions（根据短文内容回答下列问题）:（12分）90. As a child, Jay Chou wasnt good at school subjects, was he? _91. What kind of childhood did Jay Chou have? He had _92. Who found Jays musical talent? _93. What did Jay begin to do when he was four? _94.
