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） became 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 70to 90 seconds 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 became they disregard（忽视） 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 months in 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．

You either have it, or you don’t－a sense of direction. But why is it that some people could find their way across the Sahara without a map while others can lose themselves in the next street?
Scientists say we’re all born with a sense of direction, but it is not properly understood how it works. One theory is that people with a good sense of direction have simply worked harder at developing it. Research being carried out at Liverpool University supports this idea and suggests that if we don’t use it, we lose it.
“Children as young as seven have the ability to find their way around,” says Jim Martland, research director of the project. “However, if they are not allowed out alone or are taken everywhere by car, they never develop the skills.”
Jim Martland also emphasizes that young people should be taught certain skills to improve their sense of direction. He makes the following suggestions:
If you are using a map, turn it so that it relates to(与……有联系) the way you are facing.
If you leave your bike in a strange place, put it near something like a big stone or a tree－something easy to recognize. Note landmarks on the route as you go away from your bike. When you return, go back along the same route.
Simplify(简化) the way for finding your direction by using lines such as streets in a town, streams, or wells in the countryside to guide you. Count your steps so that you know how far you have gone and note any landmarks such as towerblocks or hills which can help to find out where you are.
Now you will never get lost again!
Children have the ability to find the way around when they areyears old.

Why are first ladies so important in the United States? They are unpaid and have no official work? There are several reasons, but the most important reason is they are role models for other women in the United States.
Jacqueline Kennedy was the best first lady in the US. Although she wasn’t an actress, model or singer, she was a fashion and cultural icon who charmed people wherever she went.
If you are looking for someone who is as charming as Jacqueline Kennedy, it will be hard to find anyone more suitable than Peng Liyuan, wife of Chinese President Xi Jinping. If you were writing a novel and trying to describe the perfect mixture of personal history, confident lady for a character, you’d come up with someone like Peng.
Born into a family in Shandong province, she joined the People’s Liberation Army at the age of 18, doing pretty well in singing military(军旅) songs. But she is not only famous for her voice and great achievements, but also for her charity efforts. She has, among other things, worked as a member of World Health Organization to fight against AIDS, and has done much for 2008 Sichuan earthquake.
The media reported Peng’s trip with her husband. This was Xi’s first foreign trip as president and the first time that China’s first lady appears like a modern woman on Peng Liyuan’s first official state visit. The trip shows that she can be a role model for Chinese women, especially young Chinese women at home and abroad.
In the past, China has not had a tradition of first ladies like in the US. Now that China has a higher position on the world stage, it can have its first lady! And Peng Liyuan is the perfect person with whom to begin.
