Traffic is especially bad during rush hour --- the time when people go to work or school and the time when they go home.‎ Many people take buses, subways, or trains to work, but many other people drive their cars. As a result, the streets are very busy, and traffic is very bad. ‎ Many cities are trying to solve their traffic problems. Some cities are building more roads. Other cities are expanding their bus and subway systems.‎ Many cities are trying to reduce the number of cars on the their roads. Some highways have carpool lanes for cars with two, three, or more people. In some cities, people drive their cars only on certain days of the week. For example, in Athens, people with license plate numbers ending in 0 through 4 drive on some days, and people with numbers ending in 5 through 9 drive on other days.‎ Every day around the world, more and more people drive to and from work in more and more cars. As a result, traffic is a global problem.‎ 教学建议：‎ 1. 让学生在限定时间内完成阅读；‎ 2. 让学生之间相互对答案；‎ 3. 让学生自己解释和别人答案不同的题目以便老师了解学生的解题思路及错误原因；‎ 4. 让错误较多的学生总结错误原因及注意事项。‎ 5. 概括文章的主旨大意，读文章时让学生养成从整体把握文章的习惯。‎ 6. 每篇文章找出1到2个优美句子，进行积累。‎ I.reading and speaking Reading—Modern Transportation A. Choose the words or expressions and complete the passage Like underground systems all around the world, there are two main rules on the London Underground: Please mind the gap and please give up your seat to a person carrying a child or heavy luggage. ‎ But London’s 150-year-old underground system is a little bit different 1 there are also another two rules: Never look at others and don’t get too close to the other passengers. If you do any of these things, you will break 2 , and the whole carriage(车厢) will look at in an unfriendly way. ‎ On the London Underground, people do not talk to one another, nor look at one another. If they have to look at each other, they will 3 faster than you can say duibuqi. Passengers usually keep some distance away from the others. In crowded carriages people will stand near the door at station stops, so the carriage looks full when actually there is plenty of 4 . There is no pushing yourself in as Beijing subway passengers do. ‎ The biggest problem comes with getting a seat, and some people in England even explain how to get a seat on the Internet. If you are lucky enough to find yourself sitting in one of the few seats 5 wants, you will catch the attention of the whole carriage, so you can’t win. ‎ Sometimes the train driver will make a joke over the loud speaker, saying something like, “How is everyone getting on in there?” A few people will smile and realize that how strange the Underground environment is. 6 , it will be back to the basic rules as soon as this moment passes,: No eye contact, no touching, no getting into personal space and no standing on the left. ‎ ‎1.

Adults can use ID cards or passports when buying tickets. Children under 16 who are taller than 1.5 m can also use student identification cards and household register (户口). Verification (证明) from a 1 4 police station works for kids, too.‎ Under the real-name system, passengers will get tickets with their names and ID numbers printed on them. Part of the ID number is hidden to p 5 passengers' personal information.‎ Miss Li, a teacher from Minzu University of China, is in charge of buying train tickets for students. He feels it's e 6 to buy tickets under the real-name system than before. "We successfully got tickets for 98 percent of students this year, last year we only got 85 percent," he said. However, the new system also faces challenges. Passengers now have to get to train stations earlier than before to have their identities checked.
