On May 23 ,Shenzhen introduced tough new rules in order to discourage the Chinese style of crossing the road .“ Chinese people cross roads without thinking about traffic lights,so long as they are part of a crowd,”said a post on Sina Weibo.
A CCTV news program showed that in only an hour,more than 600 people jumped red lights when crossing a road in Shijiazhuang,Hebei.
Many people say that they jaywalk (乱穿马路) because the red light lasts too long. Such an opinion is supported by a research team at Tongji University. The team did research on people's waiting time at different road crossings for three years. They found that Chinese people would wait for 70 to 90 seconds (秒) before they lost their patience. “People are likely to ignore (忽视) the light when the waiting time is longer than they can bear ,” said Ni Ying,a member of the research team.
However,a survey on Sina Weibo suggests that people jaywalk mainly because they ignore rules. “I always obey traffic rules. Time is important but safety should come first ,” someone wrote on his Weibo.
Many countries give out punishments to jaywalkers. In Singapore, the maximum can be three months in prison. Some Chinese cities have started taking some actions,too. For example,the first three people in a jaywalking group will be fined 50 yuan in Shijiazhuang.
But calling on people to respect rules is more important. To completely solve the problem,everyone should realize the importance of obeying the traffic rules.

Imagine one day,the water taps (水龙头) in your house stop running. You have to buy water from shops. And still there isn't enough for everyone. Your mother has to save the family's shower water to do other things. Would you be able to stand that kind of life?
Probably not. But that's what kids in Yemen are experiencing. Experts say Yemen is going to be the first country in the world to run out of water. According to a report,the capital,Sana,will run out of drinking water as early as 2025.
Because of the shortage,the government often cuts the water supply（供应）. Hannan,an 18-year-old boy from Lahej,told Times ：“In a good week we9ll have a water supply all week. But then the following week there will be water only for a day or two. ”
Hannan said only rich people had enough water to use. They can buy water from the shops or from the water trucks. Private companies own the trucks. They travel around the city every day to sell water—at very high prices. “A lot of people can't afford it,”he said.
The average (平均) person in Yemen uses 100 to 200 cubic (立方) meters of water per year. That is far below the international water poverty (贫困) line of 1 ,000 cubic meters.
The government is thinking of making use of seawater. But it will cost a lot and it may not happen soon enough to help the people of Yemen.

D
Chinese are very generous (慷慨的) when it comes to educating their children. Not caring about the money,parents often send their children to the best schools or even a-broad. They also want their children to take extra-course activities where they will learn a musical instrument or ballet or other classes. The Chinese believe that the more expensive an education is,the better it is. So the parents will spend lots of money on education. Even poor couples will buy a computer for their son or daughter.
However,what most parents fail to see is that the best early education they can give their children is usually very cheap.
Parents can see that their children's skills vary (多样化) ，skilled in some areas while poor in others. What most parents fail to realize though,is that today's children lack (缺乏) self-respect (自尊) and self-confidence.
The problem is that parents are only educating their children on how to take multiple-choice (多样化选择) tests and how to study well,but parents aren’t teaching them the most important skills they need to be confident,happy and clever.
Parents can achieve this by teaching practical skills like cooking,sewing and doing housework.
Teaching a child to cook will improve many of the skills that he will need later in life. Cooking requires patience and time. Ifs an enjoyable but difficult experience. A good cook always tries to improve his cooking,so he will learn to work hard and gradually to finish his job successfully. His result,a well-cooked dinner,will give him much satisfaction and a lot of self-confidence.
Some old machines,such as a broken radio or TV set that you give your child to play with will make him curious (好奇) and arouse (激发) his interest. He will spend hours looking at them,trying to fix them;your child might become an engineer when he grows up. These activities aren^ merely teaching a child to read a book,but rather to think,to use his mind. And that is more important.

A. are too strict with their children
