What causes traffic jams? Too many cars, right? No! Some Brits are now saying that traffic lights are to blame for much of the congestion（交通拥挤）．They suggest that traffic lights be removed at busy roads．They believe people are a better judge of when it's safe to go, not a traffic light programmed by an absent regulator．
A report from the Institute of Economic Affairs, a UK think tank（智囊团）, argues that abolishing traffic signals would decrease congestion, reduce exhaust emissions（废气排放）and improve safety．
The report said that removing lights should also prevent other bad behavior caused by signals, such as speeding up to catch a green light．It would also avoid the wasted time when drivers have to sit at a red light even if no one is using the green．
The idea may sound strange, but it's not new．Seven cities and regions in Europe are experimenting with no-lights roads．
Drachten in the Netherlands has got rid of 16 of its traffic light crossings and changed the other two to roundabouts under a “shared space” scheme．At crossings, cyclists dutifully raise their arm when they want to make a turn, and drivers follow a first-arrived, first-through approach and communicate by hand signs, nods and waving．
The result? Typical journey time has been cut in half, and accidents and congestion have mostly disappeared．
There have been small collisions but no problem, said Hans Monderman, creator of the scheme．“We want small accidents, in order to prevent serious ones．It works well because it's dangerous．The driver has to be responsible for his or her own risk．
“The many rules take away the ability to be considerate,” Monderman added．“We're losing our responsibility for socially responsible behavior．”
So far, Drachten's locals have called the experiment a success．“I am used to it now,” said Helena Spaanstra, 24．“You drive more slowly and carefully, but somehow you seem to get around town quicker．”
Tony Ooostward, 70, was equally enthusiastic．“I am a walker and now you are the boss at the crossroads, everyone waits for you．But at the same time walkers wait until there are a number of people wanting to cross at the same time．”
Owen Paterson, UK’s Shadow Transport Minister, visited Drachten．He said Britain should learn from the model．“The idea is to create space where there is mild anxiety among everyone so they all behave cautiously．No one drives fast along a busy street thinking that they have right of way．”
56.Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
A．Don’t Count On Traffic Lights B．New Traffic Systems Needed
C．Turn Those Traffic Lights Off D．Let People Have More Say In Traffic
57.According to the report from the Institute of Economic Affairs, abolishing traffic lights would NOT lead to ____．
A．more time being saved B．reduction of traffic jams
C．improvement of the environment D．right of way being taken for granted
58.The underlined word “collision” in Paragraph 7 means closest to ____．
A．jam B．accident C．trouble D．congestion
59.From the passage we can see that the experiment in Drachten worked well because ____．
A．walkers have become the boss of the crossroads
B．cyclists, walkers and drivers each have specially designed routes
C．everyone finds that they have to do their share in regulating traffic
D．drivers are more careful and wait for cyclists or walkers to pass first

Why does cream go bad faster than butter? Some researcher think they have the answer, and it comes down to the structure (结构) of the food, not its chemical composition (成份)— a finding that could help break away from some
chemicals．Cream and butter contain pretty much the same things, so why cream should go bad much faster has been a problem．Both are small globules (小球) of one liquid spread throughout another．The difference lies in what’s in the globules and what's in the surrounding liquid, says Brocklehurst, who led the research．In cream, fatty globules drift about in a sea of water．In butter, globules of a watery road are locked away in a sea of fat．The bacteria (细菌) which make the food go bad prefer to live in the watery areas of the mixture．“This means that in cream, the bacteria are free to grow through the mixture,” he says．When in butter, the bacteria are locked away in locked places buried deep in the sea of fat．Trapped in this way, those colonies cannot spread and rapidly run out．They also slowly poison themselves with their waste products．“In butter, you get a self-limiting system which stops the bacteria growing．” The researchers are already working with food companies eager to see if their products can be made to stand bacterial attack through changes of the food’s structure．Brocklehurst believes it will be possible to make something used in salad cream for instance, more like that in butter．The key to doing this will be keeping the salad cream liquid and not turning it into a solid state．
60.The significance of Brokclehurst’s research is that ____．
A. it suggested a way to keep some foods fresh without using some chemicals
B. it discovered small globules in both cream and butter
C. it showed the secret of how bacteria increase in cream and butter
D. it found that cream and butter share the same chemical composition
61.According to the researchers, cream goes bad faster than butter because bacteria ____．
A. are stronger in cream B. increase their number more easily in cream than in butter
C. live on less fat in cream than in butter D. produce less waste in cream than in butter
62.According to Brocklehurst, we can keep cream fresh by ____．
A. removing its fat B. killing the bacteria C. reducing its water D. changing its structure
63.Commercial use of the research finding will be possible if salad cream can be made to stand bacterial attack ____．
A. by changing its chemical composition B. by turning it into a solid lump
C. while keeping its structure unchanged D. while its liquid form remains

And being bilingual can bring a person a number of benefits in various aspects. For example:
A person can get cognitive(认知的) benefits from it. The bilingual people have two or more words for each idea and object. Therefore, a bilingual person can develop a creative thinking. The bilinguals are aware of which language

Compassion can even turn into a positive 50 .In autumn 1992, people in Iowa sent truckloads of water to help Floridians 51 by a hurricane.
