Unit 25

　The accident

　Passage 1

　　阅读理解一

　　People are often killed while crossing the road. Most of these people are old people and children. Old people are often killed because they usually cannot see or hear well. Children are often killed because they are careless. They forget to look and listen before they cross the road.

　　A car, truck or bus can't stop very quickly. If a car is going very fast, it will travel many metres before it stops. Pedestrians don't always understand this. They think a car can stop within a few metres. The faster a car is travelling, the longer it takes to stop. It is very difficult for a pedestrian to know how fast a car is travelling.

　　The only safe way to cross the road is to look both ways, right and left.

　　The correct way to cross the road is to walk quickly. It's not safe to run.

　　1. pedestrians n.行人

Just as I was crossing the road near the top of the hill, a car came round the corner. It was travelling very fast and the driver wasshavingsdifficulty in controlling it. It hit a lamppost and turned over.

　　At once I ran to the car to help the driver, but he was unconscious and there was a lot of blood on his face. A young woman hurried into the station and phoned for an ambulance while I took care of the driver. A number of other people gathered round the car, but there wasn't a great deal we could do. A policeman arrived a few minutes later and asked me a lot of questions about the accident. Shortly afterwards the man came round, and he was groaning when the ambulance arrived at high speed and took him away to hospital.

　　On Monday morning I went to the hospital to ask about the man. They told me that his injuries were not serious after all and that he was quickly getting over the effects of the accident.

Passage 4

　　判断正误

　　Every year several thousand people are killed on the roads in Great Britain. Every year between one and two hundred thousand people are injured. These people are killed or injured in road accidents.

　　There are rules to make the roads safe, but people don't always follow the rules. They are not careful enough. If everybody follows the rules, the roads will be much safer. How can we make the roads safer?

　　Remember this rule, in Great Britain traffic keeps to the left. Cars and buses and bikes must all keep to the left side of the road. In most other countries traffic keeps to the right again. Then if you are sure that the road is clear, it is always safe to cross, If you see small children, or very old people, or blind people, waiting to cross the road, it is kind act to help them cross the road.

　　We must teach young children to cross the road safely. We must always give them a good example. Small children must not play in the street.
