2016福建省第二次质量检测第二部分 阅读理解（共两节， 满分40分）AIf you need to spend time on the road，its important to find ways to keep safe on your feet. Dont suppose its your right of way. Yes, you might be crossing at the right place, at the right time, within the crosswalk area, but you are still exposed to danger. It could be a distracted driver, or a cyclist with a loose sense of traffic rules, so you could still get hurt. You can be in the right legally, but that wont be much help when youre in the hospital.Follow pedestrian signals. Just as drivers arent supposed to speed up to beat a light when crossing through an intersection, pedestrians need to take the same care when obeying their own signals. If the hand is flashing and the countdown is into single digits (数字），stay where you are. Trying to outrun the flashing hand is unsafe，especially as cars try to clear the intersection before the light turns red.Give drivers enough time to stop when crossing. Dont suppose that drivers willjam on their brakes when you hit the crosswalk signals. Some provinces, such as Alberta, issue (发出）a ticket if you dont give drivers enough time to brake.Cross quickly. Once youve followed all of the other rules, and it is safe to cross the street, dont then just wander along in front of six lanes (车道）of traffic. Theres no need to run or jog, but respect the drivers who respected you enough to stop for you.21. Who is the text intended for?A. Drivers. B. Cyclists. C. Police. D. Pedestrians.22.

Signals for Both Pedestrians and DriversBAt primary school in New Zealand, I was introduced to a school savings account run by one of the local banks. When our money box was full, we took it to the bank and watched with pride as our coins flowed across the counter. As a reward，we could choose our next money box from a small variety, and start the whole savings routine again. Every week I watched my parents sort out the housekeeping and “make ends meet”. Sometimes it was annoying to wait for things we really felt we needed.Later, as a university student, I managed on an extremely small student allowance. Students were ignored by banks then, because we were so poor, and there was no way I could have gotten credit, even if I had tried. We collected our allowance three times each year, deposited it to the best advantage and withdrew it little by little to last until the next payout of the allowance.When our daughter, Sophie, began to walk, we made a purposeful choice to encourage her touse money wisely. We often comment when the TV tells us “You owe it to yourself to borrow our moneyto whom do we really owe it? And what would happen if our income were reduced or dried up? Now, as a 12-year-old child, its almost embarrassing to see her tight “financial policy”，and wait for the unavoidable holiday sales to buy what she wants.I agree that financial education in schools is very important. But the root of the problem lies with us and the way we behave as role models to those who follow.25. What did the author learn from her parents?A. How to become a banker.B.

Through a combination of user controls, new technologies and changing standards of social behavior, Facebook is freeing us from these limitations, making friendships more accessible, pleasant and diverse than ever before.First, Facebook allows you to find and rediscover friends and then reminds you of these connections, so that you are less likely to fall out of touch with the long-lost school friend, or the family member in a different country. Second, Facebook creates an environment that allows you to interact easily with others ： you can share your photos，videos，links and thought
