4 . Who can be the most dangerous one on the street, the car driver, the cyclist or the pedestrian? Now let’s take a look at some people’s opinions.

William Lang

In my opinion, I believe many cyclists behave dangerously. Many drivers are disrespectful of cyclists. But pedestrians are probably the worst offenders.

People of all ages happily walk along the pavement with eyes and hands glued to the mobile phone, quite unaware of what is going on around them. They may even do the same thing while crossing a road at a pedestrian crossing or elsewhere. The rest of us have to give way to them or just stand still to wait for the unavoidable collision.

The real problem is that some pedestrians seem to be, at least for the moment, in worlds of their own that are, to them, much more important than the welfare of others.

I am afraid nowadays the cyclists seem to think they own the roads.

I was walking across Renmin Road one morning when a cyclist went round me and on being asked what he was doing, he shouted at me.

The government built a cycle lane on the road but it is hardly used.

The police do nothing. What a laugh they are!

The cyclists should all have to be made to use the cycle lanes and wear helmets, fluorescent (发荧光的) jacket and tights at night and in the morning. They should pay some sort of tax and be fined for not wearing them.

Cyclists jump on and off pavements (which are meant for pedestrians), ride at speed along the pavements, and think they have a special right to go through traffic lights when they are on red.

I was almost knocked down recently by a cyclist riding on the pavement when there was a cycle lane right next to him.

Other road users, including horse riders, manage to obey the rules, so why not cyclists?

It’s about time they had to be registered and insured, so when they do hit a pedestrian or a vehicle, or cause an accident, at least they can be traced and there might be an opportunity to claim.

That Beijing, together with Zhangjiakou,     1     (succeed) in getting the chance to host the 2022 Winter Olympic Games in 2015, speeds up the development of Zhangjiakou City.

Word came     2     the Beijing-Zhangjiakou high-speed railway,     3     (locate) in North China, is currently under construction, and is expected to be completed by 2021 in preparation for the cities to host the 2022 Winter Olympics. Starting from Beijing North Railway Station and heading west through the Great Wall three times in the capital’s territory, the project is a big challenge,     4     designers say the explosions needed to dig the tunnels will not have an impact on the structure. The line has a     5     (long) of 174km as a double tracked passenger dedicated line(双轨道乘客专线), with ten stations situated along       6     (it) route. Having a     7     (totally) investment of 31.17 billion yuan ($5 billion), the trip between the two cities will only take 40 minutes, with the train     8     (travel) at an average of 250 km/h. According to the plan, the high-speed railway will build two branch lines — one is to Yanqing Station and the other     9     Taizicheng of Chongli, where the Olympic village lies. The full railway, which includes a 70-kilometer section through Beijing, will be completed in one and     10     half years.
