Believe it or not, optical illusion (错觉) can cut highway crashes.
Japan is a case in point. It has reduced automobile crashes on some roads by nearly 75 percent using a simple optical illusion. Bent stripes, called chevrons (人字形) painted on the roads make drivers think that they are driving faster than they really are, and thus drivers slow down.
Now the American Automobile Association Foundation for Traffic Safety in Washington D. C. is planning to repeat Japan's success. Starting next year, the foundation will paint chevrons and other patterns of stripes on selected roads around the country to test how well the patterns reduce highway crashes.
Excessive speed plays a major role in as much as one fifth of all fatal traffic accidents, according to the foundation. To help reduce those accidents, the foundation will conduct its tests in areas where speed related hazards are the greatest-curves, exit slopes, traffic circles, and bridges.
Some studies suggest that straight, horizontal bars painted across roads can initially cut the average speed of drivers in half. However, traffic often returns to full speed within months as drivers become used to seeing the painted bars.
Chevrons, scientists say, not only give drivers the impression that they are driving faster than they really are but also make a lane appear to be narrower. The result is a longer lasting reduction in highway speed and the number of traffic accidents.
The passage mainly discusses ______.
A．a new way of highway speed control
B．a new pattern for painting highways
C．a new approach to training drivers
D．a new type of optical illusion

The Hurricane
"The Hurricane," with a running time of about two and one half hours is a powerful story about prejudice, racism and one man's will to survive.
Lesra, played by Vicellous Reon Shannon, a troubled black teenager, has been taken care of by three white Canadians in Toronto. They are sincere about helping him live a good life and encourage him to read and write. Lesra finds a book about a boxer, is fascinated by the boxer's story and writes him a letter. Rubin "Hurricane" Carter, Denzell Washington, writes back to Lesra from his prison cell and they begin a correspondence that eventually leads to Carter's exoneration for the crime that he didn't commit.
The movie, based on a true story, takes place in Patterson, New Jersey, exposing the depths of racism in all of our United States, not just the South. I think movies like this will help us, albeit ever so slowly, to move our society away from fear, irrationality and prejudice and towards building communities that are filled with compassion, empathy and justice for all!
The beginning of this picture is a little confusing although there is some narrative, which always helps. The first few scenes are abrupt and I need to acquaint myself with the quick changes. There are a number of flashbacks that take place as Lesra begins to read the book. There are quite a few dates and places that appear as sub-titles at the beginning of scenes. At the end of the movie there is a written epilogue that is crucial for you to know.
The first half of this film has many challenges including a scene when Hurricane is left in "the hole." What you hear is all the voices in his mind; his internal dialogue. The second half of the story is much easier to follow. By this time you are familiar with the characters and things start falling into a reasonable sequence. The movie ends with a long court scene that is easy to follow and totally inspiring. The theater broke out into spontaneous applause at the end.
According to the passage, the thing that the film has NOT touched upon is ______
A．prejudice
B．freedom
C．racism
D．man's will to survive
According to this passage, ______ makes some kind of learning difficult.
A．long distance

C．much indulgence

C．playing basketball
D．reading a magazine
