　　Once a small boy lived on a farm which seemed so far away from everywhere.

　　He needed to get up before sunrise every morning to help his father on the farm. During sunrise he would take a break and climb up on the fence(篱笆) along the side of the farm. He could see a house with golden windows. “If they could afford golden windows, then there must be other nice things inside the house.” He imagined how great it would be to live there. Then he promised himself, “Some day I will go there and see this wonderful place.”

　　One morning, his father would go to the town and told him to stay at home for a rest. Knowing that this was his chance, he took a sandwich and headed across the field towards the house with the golden windows.

　　As the afternoon went on, he began to realize how wrong he was. The house was much farther than he had expected. As he went near the house, he saw no golden windows but instead a place in bad need of painting. A small girl very close to his age came out of the poor house and stood by the broken fence. He asked her if she had seen the house with the golden windows.

　　The girl said, “Sure, I know.” and invited him to sit on the porch(门廊). As he sat there, he looked back from where he just came. There he saw the sunset(夕阳) turned the windows of his house to gold! Now he understood that everyone had his own house with golden windows.

　　On May 23, Shenzhen introduced tough new rules in order to discourage the “Chinese style of crossing the road”. “Chinese people cross roads without thinking about traffic lights, so long as they are part of a crowd,” said a post on Sina Weibo.

　　A CCTV news program showed that in only an hour, more than 600 people jumped red lights when crossing a road in Shijiazhuang, Hebei.

　　Many people say that they jaywalk(乱穿马路) because the red light lasts too long. Such an opinion is supported by a research team at Tongji University. The team did research on people’s waiting times at different road crossings for three years. They found that Chinese people would wait for 70 to 90 seconds(秒) before they lost their patience. “People are likely to ignore(忽视) the light when the waiting time is longer than they can bear,” said Ni Ying, a member of the research team.

　　However, a survey on Sina Weibo suggested that people jaywalk mainly because they ignore rules. “I always obey traffic rules. Time is important but safety should come first,” someone wrote on his Weibo.

　　Many countries give out punishments to jaywalkers. In Singapore, the maximum can be three months in prison. Some Chinese cities have started taking some actions, too. For example, the first three people in a jaywalking group will be fined 50 yuan in Shijiazhuang.

　　But calling on people to respect rules is more important. To completely solve the problem, everyone should realize the importance of obeying the traffic rules.

　　56. Which of the following is the “Chinese style road crossing”?

　　A. To cross a road slowly.

　　B. To follow the basic traffic rules.

　　C. To wait for the traffic light to turn green.

　　D. To cross roads without looking at traffic lights.

　　57. What does the phrase “the team” in Paragraph 3 refer to?

　　A. A CCTV news program. B. A research group at Tongji University. C. A post on Sina Weibo. D. A daily newspaper.

　　58. How long will Chinese people wait for to cross the road before they lose patience?

　　A. About five minutes. B. Less than one minute.

　　C. Less than one and a half minutes. D. More than ten minutes.

　　59. Why do people jaywalk according to the survey on Sina Weibo?

　　A. Because people don’t pay much attention to rules.

　　B. Because there are too many people on the road.

　　C. Because the red light lasts too long.

　　D. Because people have less patience.

　　60. The writer suggests that we should __________ to solve the problem of jaywalking.

　　A. punish the jaywalkers B. reduce (减少) the time of red lights

　　C. ignore the traffic rules D. call on people to obey the traffic rules
