Have you ever noticed how busy our roads are becoming? Every year more and more cars are using them. Already in such countries as America, almost every family has a car. Many accidents happen because cars are now made to travel very fast. Also, people waste time and money every day as long lines of cars move slowly into towns and cities. In most big towns it is very hard to find parking spaces.
Wide, smooth (平的), straight (直的) roads must be built now in place of the old and narrow
roads. These roads must not pass through towns and cities. They must not be crossed by other
roads.
Today such roads are being built（在建造中） in many countries in the world. These roads have at least two lanes（车道）, one for slow-moving traffic and the other for fast-moving traffic.
These roads do not pass through town and cities; horses and bikes are not allowed on them.
Accidents do not usually happen. Cars can travel hundreds of miles without having to stop.
But these modem roads often cannot be built in towns and cities. Before a road in a town can
be made wider, many buildings have to be pulled down.21*cnjy*com
Some people feel that more car-parks should be built outside a city, then the drivers should
leave their cars and catch a bus or take a taxi to their offices.
( )1. The writer thinks that many accidents happen because___________.
A. roads are old and narrow B. roads go across each other

DIY, which means Do It Yourself, is quite popular in UK. Lots of stores and supermarkets sell DIY things. TV programmers show people how to DIY.www-2-1-cnjy-com
English people like DIY. There is a saying in UK----"As Englishman's home is his castle". If there is anything that needs fixing around their homes, such as painting the walls or putting in a new shower, they will do the jobs themselves. They share DIY experience with their friends. More and more people enjoy the joy of DIY. Sometimes people also D1Y for saving money. They like making their house better without spending a lot of money. It is not surprising that DIY is so popular.
DIY can be difficult. There is a huge market for DIY furniture which people need to get together themselves with a few basic tools. However, people often find it not easy to build a piece
of furniture because they can't understand the instructions（结构）.
DIY can also be dangerous. For example, anything electrical should be done by a professional(专业的) worker. Unluckily, many people don't care about this warning and put themselves in danger. It is reported that in just one year over 230,000 people were hurt while doing DIY in UK, including 41,000 who fell off ladders.
D1Y can bring us fun and help us save money, but it is not always as easy as it is thought to be if we bite off more than we can chew. Maybe factories should make products that are easier and
safer for us to DIY.
