During the Renaissance, painters tried to paint people and nature as they real were. Rich people paid famous artists to paint pictures of them, their houses and possessions as well as their activities and achievements. One of the most important discovery during this period was how to draw things with perspective. This technique was first used by Masaccio in 1428. When people first saw his paintings, they convinced that they were looking through a hole in a wall at a real scene. If the rules of perspective have not been discovered, no one would have been able to paint such the realistic pictures. By coincidence, oil paints were also developed at this time, that made the colours used in paintings look rich and deeper. Without the new paints and the new technique, we will not be able to see the great masterpieces for which this period is famous.

A city in South Korea, which has the world’s largest number of people using smartphones, has placed flashing lights and laser beams at a road crossing to warn “smartphone zombies” to look up and drivers to slow down, in the hope of preventing accidents.
The designers of the system were motivated by growing worry that more pedestrians glued to their phones will become victims in a country that already has some of the highest road death and injury rates among developed countries. State-run Korea Institute of Civil Engineering and Building Technology (KICT) believes its system of flashing lights at zebra crossings can warn both pedestrians and drivers.
In addition to red, yellow and blue LED lights on the pavement, “smombies” - smartphone zombies - will be warned by laser beam projected from power poles and a warning sent to the phones by an app that they are about to step into traffic.
“Increasing number of smombie accidents have occurred in pedestrian crossings, so these zombie lights are essential to prevent these pedestrian accidents,” said KICT senior researcher Kim Jong-hoon. Drivers are warned by the flashing lights, which have shown to be effective 83.4 percent of the time in the institute’s tests involving about 1,000 vehicles.
In 2017, more than 1,600 pedestrians were killed in auto related accidents, which is about 40 percent of total traffic deaths, according to data from the Traffic Accident Analysis System. For now, the smombie warning system is placed only in Ilsan, a suburban city about 30 km northwest of the capital, Seoul, but is expected to go nationwide, according to the institute.
Kim Dan-hee, a 23-year-old resident of Ilsan, welcomed the system, saying she was often too absorbed in her phone to remember to look at traffic. “This flashing light makes me feel safe as it makes me look around again, and I hope that we can have more of these in town,” she said.
1.What do the underlined words “smartphone zombies” in paragraph 1 refer to?
A.Drivers driving after drunk. B.Pedestrians buried in their phones.

2.What do we know about the warning system?
A.It has reduced death rate by 83.4%. B.It has been spread nationwide.
C.It gives a warning to the smartphones. D.It is being tried out in many places.
3.What was the residents’ attitude to the traffic system?
A.Negative. B.Unconcerned.
C.Disapproving. D.Favorable.
4.What is the best title for the text?
A.South Korea Warns Smartphone Zombies of Traffic

C.Smartphone Zombies Are Causing Traffic Accidents
D.South Korea Uses a New Traffic System
