For over 100 years, it is convenient for people to go from one place to another by taxi. But sometimes there are no taxis coming to the place you are waiting. However, this has become a thing of past since Uber app appears.
Uber is an American company that provides a taxi service through an app on the smart phone. It was set up in March, 2009 and has grown quickly. An app, in fact, is a computer program working on smart phones, computers and other communication devices. By using your smart phone, you can easily and quickly order a taxi and takes you to the place you want to go.
The nicest thing about Uber app is that you can see where your taxi is or how long it will take to reach you on your smart phone screen. And you can also find the telephone number of the driver in Uber app, so you can call or send messages to the driver when you are waiting.
Uber is always available 24 hours a day. 365 days a year. If you want to go somewhere, you can easily open Uber app at home or anywhere in the open air, then it connects you to the nearest driver. Usually it takes only between 15 minutes to get a Uber taxi by using Uber app.
Uber is popular because it is simple and very user-friendly. You have nothing to do with a taxi company. If you are not pleased with the ride and the driver, you can give the driver a low score through Uber app, so Uber is simple, time-saving, and above all very easy.
At Uber, the payment is easy through your bank card. How much you need to pay depends on the country and the city you are in. It is sure that Uber taxis are much cheaper than taxis you used to take.
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#}

Only in this way can we solve the problem completely. D. "Chinese Style Road Crossing" has become a hot expression recently. E. Some Chinese cities have started taking some actions, too. F.
