高考英语押题作文素材：如何遵守交通规则 How to observe traffic regulations

　　如何遵守交通规则?(How to observe traffic regulations?)

　　　Do you have any idea as for how many people lost their lives in traffic accidents in a year? No idea about that? Ok, I’ll tell you. 100,000 lives! Only in China. This is to say, every 5 minutes, one man lost his life.

　　One hundred thousand people die because of traffic accidents! One hundred thousand lives mean one hundred thousand damaged families. Why does traffic accident happen? Do we have traffic regulations? Sure, we have enough regulations. But still accidents happen. Figures show 80% of deaths in traffic accidents is the result of traffic regulation violation, by pedestrians and non-motor vehicle riders! Next time when you are on the street, look around you and see if ignorance of regulations happens. Although more and more people realized the importance of the rules, still many ignore them. Accidents happen also because motor vehicle drivers ignore the rules. Some drive too fast. Some have no driving license. Some drive after drinking or even after being drunk. Every one on the globe knows red light is stop. However, in China, this just depends. Depends on what? Depends on where, depends on who and depends on when. Red means pass where no police on guard; red means pass where it is far away from city center. Red means pass to some high government officials; red means pass to some people who think they have plenty of money; red mans pass to some pedestrians who are brave enough to think they can beat the metal vehicle.

　　Red means pass when it is off work hours; red means pass when there is no inspections from high officials and red means pass when you drank much alcohol. Is it so difficult to observe traffic regulations? No! Never! Nothing in the world is so simple as to observe traffic regulations: STOP WHEN IT IS RED AND PASS WHEN IT IS GREEN!
