B.Reading Fun                      D. Question Time

    In China, not everybody follows the traffic lights when they cross the road. {#blank#}1{#/blank#}Chinese people "cross roads without thinking about traffic lights, as long as they are part of a crowed", said a host from CCTV.

    A CCTV news program showed that in only an hour, more than 600 people jumped red lights when crossing a road at a crossing in Chengdu. {#blank#}2{#/blank#} Such an opinion is supported by a research team at Tongji University. They found that Chinese people would wait for 70 to 90 seconds before they lost their patience.

    However, a survey suggests that half of respondents （调查对象）believe that people jaywalk mainly because they pay no attention to traffic rules at all. A person wrote on microblog (微博), "I always obey traffic rules. {#blank#}3{#/blank#}"

    Many countries give out punishments（惩罚） to jaywalkers. In Singapore, the maximum （最大量）can be three months in prison (监狱). {#blank#}4{#/blank#} For example, the first three people in a jaywalking group will be fined 50 yuan in Shijiazhuang. But calling on people to follow rules is more important. {#blank#}5{#/blank#} 

    Friends are very important in people's live.{#blank#}1{#/blank#} I think it's very easy to make friends with other people and build a friendship between each other. However,{#blank#}2{#/blank#} So what is true friendship? In my opinion, true friendship includes:

    First of all, true friendship must treat their friends loyally and help each other. In other words, you must not take advantage of your friends,{#blank#}3{#/blank#} For example, some unfriendly people make friends in order to cheat money and feelings, or get a certain secret and so I don't think these are true friendships.

    Second, {#blank#}4{#/blank#}For example, if a friend is really in need of money to escape from some troubles, true friends might lend it and help him or her.

    Third,{#blank#}5{#/blank#}One of the greatest men once said:" If you tell your happiness to your friend, you will get double happiness. If you tell your sadness to your friend, you will get half.
