If you are cycling in foreign countries, you will need to know what these traffic signs and signals mean.

1.	A sign like this one means that there is a bike lane (车道). If there is such a sign, you are required to use the bike lane. If there is not such a sign, you should ride with traffic as far to the right side of the road as possible.
2.	This signal means you can cross the street along with pedestrians (行人). It has a green picture of a person walking instead of using the word "walk".
3.	This signal is the "don't walk" sign. It is a picture of a red hand, meaning you should stop. You should wait to cross the street until the green picture of the person walking is showing.
4.	Car drivers and bikers must come to a complete stop at "STOP" signs.
5.	A "YIELD" sign means to slow down and be ready to stop. If there are pedestrians or vehicles in or near the crossroad, you must stop. If there is no traffic in or near the crossroad and it is safe, you may go through.
6.	This signal means you are coming to a zebra crossing. Car drivers and bikers must stop to allow people in the zebra crossing to cross the street.
7.	When people are working on the roads, parts of the road are often dug up or rough (不平整的). Be careful when you are cycling. Rough roads could make you fall off your bike. If you must move into the road to go around a work area, you should stop and look carefully to be sure there is no traffic coming.
8.	A detour is a way of getting around a roadway that is closed. Roads are usually closed because of road work or dangerous conditions. If you must take a detour, be careful about the roads you aren't used to.

     You are probably familiar with the saying: An apple a day keeps the doctor away. A recent research
carried out by the Chinese University of Hong Kong may change the saying: An apple a day may keep aging
away.
     The research chose fruit flies (果蝇), as they share many genes (基因) with humans. The fruit flies were
either fed normally or had an apple extract (浓缩物) added to their diet.
     It turned out that those fruit flies that were given apple extract lived about 55 days - five days longer than
the flies that were normally fed. The research group also found it easier for the flies to walk, climb and move
about as they aged.
     According to the result, the researchers believed that the antioxidants (抗氧化剂) in the apple extract
helped clean up dangerous chemicals (化学物质) that cause illnesses, as well as aging.
     In another study, researchers examined diets of thousands of women. They discovered that those who
regularly ate apples were 20 percent less likely to suffer heart illnesses and stroke.
     The apples' genetic code (欲望) was discovered recently. It allows scientists to develop nicer and healthier
fruits. Researchers are already using the information to grow a kind of apples full of antioxidants that can keep
eyes and joints healthy and protect humans against heart illnesses and cancer.
     Apples that kill the desire (欲望) to eat could also be produced, with the first "extra-healthy" apples on
supermarket shelves within just four or five years.
     The team that keeps studying apple DNA includes 100 scientists from five countries. Their research also
suggests that around 65 million years ago, when dinosaurs began to die off, the plant, which would finally
become today's apple tree, experienced a great genetic change. The number of many of its genes doubled.
The extra genes allowed the apple to get used to worse conditions and go through a different development
from peaches, strawberries and other related fruits.

1. Why were fruit flies used for the research?

A. Because they have a similar diet to humans.
B. Because they have a history as long as apples.
C. Because they share a lot of genes with humans.
D. Because they feed on nothing but apple extract.

2. What result did the researchers find out?

A. Apples produce chemicals that can change human genes.
B. Apples have antioxidants that kill chemicals that cause aging.
C. Apples are rich in vitamins that are needed in humans' bodies.
D. Apples produce chemicals that make apples taste more delicious.

3. What happened to apples around 65 million years ago according to the research?

A. Their genes stopped their development as the environment got worse.
B. Their genes became twice in number but they finally died off like dinosaurs.
C. They experienced a great genetic change making them used to worse conditions.
D. They went through a similar development to peaches, strawberries and other related fruits.

4. What can we infer (推断) from the passage?

A. Eating apples may bring us more advantages than we might believe before.
B. People who have the habit of eating apples don't need to see a doctor.
C. Apples that kill the desire to eat are already available in supermarkets now.
D. People will eat apples instead of peaches and strawberries from now on.
