2 . Many people love to listen to music while driving. Thanks to the world’s musical roads, drivers now don’t need to turn the radio on.     1    

A musical road can create music when a car tires go over grooves (凹槽) on the road. To produce beautiful music, drivers must pass over the grooves at a certain speed. Signs often tell drivers the right speed.

    2    . Since the mid-1990, musical rads have appeared in many different countries.     3    . To warn drivers to the incoming music, all the roads are marked by colored musical notes that are painted on these roads. Drivers can decide whether to go over the grooves or not because they are set on the side of the road.

In Hungary, there is a musical road in honor of one of the country’s most popular musical performers — Laszlo Bodi. Bodi was the lead singer for the band Republic.     4    . Sadly, Bodi passed away in 2013. But people still remember him as there’s a road where drivers can hear 30 seconds of the Republic song “Road 67”.

    5    . In Indonesia, a road plays the first six notes of “Happy Birthday”. The fifth note is a little out of tune, though. This “mistake” keeps drivers awake and aware, and it has reduced the number of traffic accidents. Such is the power of music and musical roads.

People often get     1     (stick) in traffic jams. They arrive at work or school, stressed out, tired and     2     (annoy). Over the last two decades, the number of cars on the road     3     (go) up by 25% in Britain, and vehicle accidents have also increased greatly,     4     result in lots of deaths. Besides, too much traffic means too much air pollution.

    5     (keep) such a bad tendency under control, we ought to take action     6     (immediate) so as to make a difference. Instead of     7     (drive) our cars, we can walk or ride a bike for short journeys.     8     addition, we can use public transport or share our cars with others. Also, we are supposed to think     9     we set out. Is it necessary for us to go there? Can we buy     10     (thing) in the shop around the corner? In this way, we can contribute a lot to our Mother Earth. So, don’t just sit around and complain! Do whichever of these things that suit you.

10 . School Bus Safety in the United States

Each school day, millions of children ride school buses. Do you know that the school bus is one of the safest vehicles on the road? Less than 1% of all traffic deaths involve children on school transportation vehicles. However, children are more at risk when approaching or leaving a school bus. It’s important for you to understand school bus safety.

Stop for School Buses

When you see a school bus slowing down or stopping, it’s not just the bus that you need to have your eyes on—but the surrounding area, too. Children wait at least several feet away from a bus and often cross the street when they’re boarding or getting off the bus. This is why you must stop for school buses, and don’t attempt to pass.

Illegal School Bus Passing

Illegal school bus passing poses a significant threat to children and others on the road. In every state, it is illegal for you to pass a school bus while the stop-arm is extended and the red lights are flashing.

Understanding School Bus Lights

Learn the school bus laws in your state and always follow them, as well as the flashing lights that school bus drivers use to warn you.

Yellow flashing lights indicate the bus is preparing to stop to load or unload children. You should slow down and prepare to stop your vehicle.

Red flashing lights and extended stop-arms indicate the bus has stopped and children are getting on or off. You must stop your car and wait until the red lights stop flashing, the extended stop-arm is withdrawn, and the bus begins moving, before you can start driving again.
