3 . To improve road safety and raise awareness among Russia’s notoriously (臭名昭著地) careless drivers, Russian police have tried to get drivers to slow down at zebra (斑马) crossings by having painted horses as zebras walk across on the busiest streets in some of the big cities.

The light grey horses, painted with black stripes (条纹), carried signs on their backs reading: “Careful, children are on their way to school.” The police sent the “zebras” to several different locations in the Russian capital, where officials in orange vests walked them over zebra crossings and handed out leaflets (传单) to passing drivers.

Some held up rainbow-coloured umbrellas over the painted animals to protect them from the rain. Russian roads are notoriously dangerous and drivers still rarely take steps to avoid pedestrians. Nearly half of all traffic accidents in the country’s big cities are caused by cars hitting pedestrians, and a third of those occur on crossings, according to traffic police figures published last month.

In the first six months of this year, 378 people were killed and more than 6, 600 injured on pedestrian crossings in Russia, according to police. In Moscow alone, 43 people were killed, including two children.

Though police officials said that only safe paint would be used on the animals, animal rights activists still disagreed with the idea, accusing the police of “treating animals like garbage”.

“Children understand that paints are bad for animals,” the Interfax news agency quoted president of Vita animal rights group Irina Novozhilova as saying.

Let’s hope this part of the campaign is over and animals are left out of future attempts to raise pedestrians’ awareness.

1. Why do Moscow police have “zebras” walk across on the busiest streets?

A．To make a call on protecting animals.

B．To raise drivers’ awareness of road safety.

C．To tell people it is dangerous to cross streets.

D．To remind people zebras are in danger of extinction.

2. What does the underlined word “them” in Paragraph 2 refer to?

A．The zebras.

B．The policemen.

C．The horses.

D．The drivers.

3. From the text we can learn that         .

A．Russian drivers seldom give way to pedestrians.

B．Russian drivers often ignore traffic lights.

C．most Russian drivers have realized the seriousness of the problem.

D．the driving skills of Russian drivers are bad.

4. What do animal rights activists think of the new attempt?

A．Drivers must slow down at pedestrian crossings.

B．Road safety should be improved.

C．The paints used on the horses are safe.

D．These animals are ill-treated by the police.

4 . We know that many animals do not stay in one place. Birds, fish and other animals move from one place to another at a certain time. They move for different reasons: most of them move to find food more easily, but others move to get away from places that are too crowded.

When cold weather comes, many birds move to warmer places to find food. Some fishes give birth in warm water and move to cold water to feed. The most famous migration (迁徙)is probably the migration of the fish, which is called “salmon”. This fish is born in fresh water but it travels many miles to salt water. There it spends its life. When it is old, it returns to its birthplace in fresh water. Then it gives birth and dies there. In northern Europe, there is a kind of mice. They leave their mountain homes when they become too crowded. They move down to the low land. Sometimes they move all the way to the seaside, and many of them are killed when they fall into the sea.

Recently, scientists have studied the migration of a kind of lobster (龙虾). Every year, when the season of bad weather arrives, the lobsters get into a long line and start to walk across the floor of the ocean. Nobody knows why they do this, and nobody knows where they go.

So, sometimes we know why humans and animals move from one place to another, but at other times we don’t. Maybe living things just like to travel.

1. Most animals move from one place to another at a certain time to         .

A．give birth	B．enjoy warmer weather
C．find food more easily	D．find beautiful places

2. The fish called “salmon” spends a long life in         .

A．salt water

B．rivers

C．fresh water

D．its birthplace

3. The lobsters move         .

A．to the fresh water	B．to the undersea
C．at a certain time	D．to find more food

4. What is the main idea of the passage?

A．Animals move in order to find food more easily.

B．The migration of the fish called “salmon” is the most famous migration.

C．Living things move from one place to another because they like to travel.

D．Sometimes we know why and how living things move from one place to another, but sometimes we don’t.
