Forget Cyclists, Pedestrians are Real Danger
We are having a debate about this topic. Here are some letters from our readers.
■
Yes, many cyclists behave dangerously. Many drivers are disrespectful of cyclists. But pedestrians are
probably the worse offenders.
People of all ages happily walk along the pavement with eyes and hands glued to the mobile phone, quite
unaware of what is going on around them. They may even do the same thing while crossing a road at a pedestrian
crossing or elsewhere. The rest of us have to evade (
避让
) them or just stand still to wait for the unavoidable
collision.
The real problem is that some pedestrians seem to be, at least for the moment, in worlds of their own that are, to
them, much more important than the welfare of others.
——
Michael Horan
■
I love the letter from Bob Brooks about cyclists (
Viewpoints, May 29
). I am afraid they seem to think they
own the roads.
I was walking across Altrincham Road one morning when a cyclist went round me and on being asked what he
was doing he shouted at me.
The government built a cycle lane on the road but it is hardly used.
The police do nothing. What a laugh they are!
The cyclists should all have to be made to use the cycle lanes and wear helmets, fluorescent (
发荧光的
) jacket
and lights at night and in the morning they should pay some sort of tax and be fined for not wearing them.
——
Carol Harvey
■
Cyclists jump on and off pavements (which are meant for pedestrians), ride at speed along the pavements, and
think they have a special right to go through traffic lights when they are on red.
I was almost knocked down recently by a cyclist riding on the pavement when there was a cycle lane right next
to him.
Other road users, including horse riders, manage to obey the rules so why not cyclists?
It's about time they had to be registered and insured, so when they do hit a pedestrian or a vehicle, or cause an
accident, at least
they
can be treated and there might be an opportunity to claim.

B
In its early history, Chicago had floods frequently,
especially in the spring, making the streets so muddy that
people, horses, and carts got stuck. An old joke that was popular at the time went something like this: A man is stuck
up to his waist in a muddy Chicago street. Asked if he needs help, he replies,
me.
The
city
planner
decided
to
build
an
underground
drainage
(
排水
)
system,
but
there
simply
wasn't
enough
difference
between
the
height
of
the
ground
level
and
the
water
level.
The
only
two
options
were
to
lower
the
Chicago River or raise the city.
An
engineer
named
Ellis
Chesbrough
convinced
the
city
that
it
had
no
choice
but
to
build
the
pipes
above
ground and then cover them with dirt. This raised the level of the city's streets by as much as 12 feet.
This
of
course
created
a
new
problem:
dirt
practically
buried
the
first
floors
of
every
building
in
Chicago.
Building owners were faced with a choice: either change the first floors of their buildings into basements, and the
second stories into main floors, or hoist the entire buildings to meet the new street level. Small wood-frame buildings
could be lifted fairly easily. But what about large, heavy structures like Tremont Hotel, which was a six-story brick
building?
That's where George Pullman came in. He had developed some house-moving skills successfully. To lift a big
structure like the Tremont Hotel, Pullman would place thousands of jackscrews (
螺旋千斤顶
) beneath the building's
foundation. One man was assigned to operate each section of roughly 10 jackscrews. At Pullman's sign each man
turned his jackscrew the same amount at the same time, thereby raising the building slowly and evenly. Astonishingly,
the
Tremont
Hotel
stay
open
during
the
entire
operation,
and
many
of
its
guests
didn't
even
notice
anything
was
happening.
Some
people
like
to
say
that
every
problem
has
a
solution.
But
in
Chicago's
early
history,
every
engineering solution seemed to create a new problem. Now that Chicago's waste water was draining efficiently into
the Chicago River, the city's next step was to clean the polluted river.
25. The author mentions the joke to show ______.
A. horses were fairly useful in Chicago
B. Chicago's streets were extremely muddy
C. Chicago was very dangerous in the spring
D. the Chicago people were particularly humorous
26. The city planners were convinced by Ellis Chesbrough to_______.
A. get rid of the street dirt
B. lower the Chicago River
C. fight against heavy floods
D. build the pipes above ground
can we conclude about the moving operation of the Tremont Hotel?
A. It went on smoothly as intended.
B. It interrupted the business of the hotel.
C. It involved Pullman turning ten jackscrews.
D. It separated the building from its foundation.
passage is mainly about the early Chicago's ______.
A. popular life styles and their influences
B. environmental disasters and their causes
C. engineering problems and their solutions
D. successful businessmen and their achievements
C
Have
your
parents
ever
inspected
your
room
to
see
if
you
cleaned
it
properly?
Imagine
having
your
entire
houses, garage, and yard inspected at any time -- with no warning. Inspections were a regular part of lighthouse (
灯
塔
) living, and a keeper's reputation depended on results. A few times each year, an inspector arrived to look over the
entire light station. The inspections were supposed to be a surprise, but keeper sometimes had advance notice.
Once
lighthouses
had
telephones,
keepers
would
call
each
other
to
warn
that
the
inspector
was
approaching.
After boats began flying special flags noting the inspector aboard, the keeper's family
made it a game to see who
could notice the boat first. As soon as someone spotted the boat, everyone would do last- minute tidying and change
into
fancy
clothes.
The
keeper
then
scurried
to
put
on
his
dress
uniform
and
cap.
Children
of
keepers
remember
inspectors wearing white gloves to run their fingers over door frames and windowsills looking for dust.
Despite the serious nature of inspections, they resulted in some funny moments. Betty Byrnes remembered when
her
mother
did
not
have
time
to
wash
all
the
dishes
before
an
inspection.
At
the
time,
people
did
not
have
dishwashers in their homes. In an effort to clean up quickly, Mrs. Byrnes tossed all the dishes into a big bread pan,
covered them with a cloth and stuck them in the oven. If the inspector opened the oven door, it would look like bread
was baking. He never did.
One day, Glenn Furst's mother put oil on the kitchen floor just before the inspector entered their house. Like
floor wax, the oil made the floors shiny and helped protect the wood. This time, though, she used a little too much oil.
When
the
inspector
extended
his
hand
to
greet Glenn's
mother,
he
slipped
on
the
freshly
oiled
surface.
came
across that floor waving his arms like a young bird attempting its first flight,
himself, he shook Glenn's mother's hand, and the inspection continued as though nothing had happened.
29. What does Paragraph I tell us about the inspection at the light station?
A. It was carried out once a year.
B. It was often announced in advance.
C. It was important for the keeper's fame.
D. It was focused on the garage and yard.
30. The family began making preparations immediately after ______.
A. one of the members saw the boat
B. a warning call reached the lighthouse
C. the keeper put on the dress uniform and cap
D. the inspector flew special flags in the distance
31. Mrs. Byrnes put the dishes in the oven because this would ______.
A. result in some fun
B. speed up washing them
C. make her home look tidy
D. be a demand from the inspector
32. The inspector waved his arms ______.
A. to try his best to keep steady
B. to show his satisfaction with the floor
C. to extend a warm greeting to Glenn's mother
D. to express his intention to continue the inspection

You
have
probably
heard
of
the
Mozart
effect.
It
’
s
the
idea
that
if
children
or
even
babies
listen
to
music
composed by Mozart, they will become more intelligent. A quick Internet search reveals plenty of products to assist
you in the task. Whatever your age there are CDs and books to help you taste the power of Mozart
’
s music, but when
it comes to scientific evidence that it can make you more clever, the picture is more mixed.
The phrase
“
the Mozart effect
”
was made up in 1991, but it was a study described two years later in the journal
Nature that sparked
（激发）
real media and public interest about the idea that listening to classical music somehow
improves
the
brain.
It
is
one
of
those
ideas
that
sound
reasonable.
Mozart
was
undoubtedly
a
genius
himself;
his
music is complex and there is a hope that if we listen to enough of it ,we
’
ll become more intelligent.
The
idea
took
off,
with
thousands
of
parents
playing
Mozart
to
their
children,
and
in
1998
Zell
Miller,
the
Governor of the state of Georgia in the US, even asked for money to be set aside in the state budget so that every
newborn
baby
could
be
sent
a
CD
of
classical
music.
It
was
not
just
babies
and
children
who
were
exposed
to
Mozart
’
s music on purpose, even an Italian farmer proudly explained that the cows were played Mozart three times a
day to help them to produce better milk.
I
’
ll leave the debate on the impact on milk yield to farmers, but what about the evidence that listening to Mozart
makes people more intelligent? More research was carried out but an analysis of sixteen different studies confirmed
that listening to music does lead to a temporary improvement in the ability to handle shapes mentally, but the benefits
are short-lived and it doesn
’
t make us more intelligent.
33. What can we learn from paragraph 1?
A
．
Mozart composed many musical pieces for children.
B
．
Children listening to Mozart will be more intelligent.
C
．
There are few products on the Internet about Mozart
’
s music.
D
．
There is little scientific evidence to support Mozart effect.
34. The underlined sentence in paragraph3 suggests that
________.
A
．
people were strongly against the idea
B
．
the idea was accepted by many people
C
．
Mozart played an important part in people
’
s life
D
．
the US government helped promote the idea
35. What is the author
’
s attitude towards the Mozart effect?
A
．
Favorable
B
．
Objective
C
．
Doubtful
