| Each year several thousand people are killed on the road in Great Britain. Every year between one and two hundred thousand people are injured (伤害), or killed in road accidents. If you are in England and if you listen to the eight o'clock news from BBC, you will often hear news of road accidents. You may hear something like this "On last Monday evening at about twenty minutes to ten, a cyclist (骑自行车的人) was knocked down by a truck at crossing of Oak Road and High Street in Croydon. The cyclist has died from his injuries. Anyone who saw the accident please communicate (联系) with New Scotland Yard, telephone number Whitehall one, two, one, two." Accidents are often caused (引起) by carelessness. If everybody obeys the rules, the roads will be much safer.How can we make the road safer? In Great Britain traffic keeps on to the left.Motor-cars, trucks, buses and cyclists must all keep to the left side of the road. In most other country traffic keeps to the right. Before crossing the road, stop and look both ways. Look right, look left again.Then, if you are sure that the road is clear, that there is nothing coming, it is safe to cross the road. If you see small children, or very old people, or blind people, waiting to cross the road, it is kind act to help them to cross the road in safety. We must teach young children to cross the road safely. We must always give them a good example. Small children mustn't play in the street. |
