摸抚市成份阳光实验学校Module 2 Traffic Jam 知识总结 Traffic and Population At 7 a.m.and 5 p.m.everyday,the rush hours〔顶峰时期〕,traffic is very heavy.People go to work on foot,by bus,or by bicycle in a hurry. This is a photograph〔情景〕we often see in big cities.Because the traffic is heavy,people have to waste more time on their way home or to work and even might be involved〔被卷入〕in an accident〔意外事故〕.If you want to cross the street,you must be very careful and calm〔镇静的〕,or you will be in danger.The reason why the traffic is heavy is that the population increases〔增长〕too quickly.On the other hand,the building of cities increases too slowly and the transportation is poor.Also the limitation〔限制〕of land is a disadvantage for the development〔开展〕of cities.People need land enough to work and live,and they also need enough land to grow food. In a word,if we want to have orderly〔有序的〕traffic and a comfortable life,we must control〔控制〕the population increase and solve〔解决〕traffic problems. Do you agree with above opinion?What’s your opinion? Some drivers:I agree with it.The traffic is too heavy because of the overpopulation. The citizens:The traffic is too bad because the drivers don’t obey the traffic rules.They often park〔停车〕their cars everywhere they like. Some teachers:The roads are too narrow,and the transportation〔交通工具〕is poor. Some little kids:Do not care too much about it.

With every passing year,more and more bikes crowd our roads and streets.This has created〔产生〕a serious〔严重的〕problem as many accidents are caused〔被引起〕by bike riders who neglect traffic regulations〔无视交通规那么〕.Bikes go along with motor vehicles〔机动车〕.So the mixed traffic is still common.This,of course,is very dangerous.It is necessary for all the people obey the traffic rules〔遵守交通规那么〕. 【任务导入】 Organize a research on different types of transportation with your classmates.Divide the members into two groups，one group focuses on advantages〔长处〕,the other one focuses on disadvantages〔短处〕.Make a competition and show which group do better.Then work together to write a research report on different types of transportation.Make a chart like this.
