A Report from People’s Daily
"Chinese style of crossing the road" is a ridicule(调侃)used by the net friend. It describes a way of some Chinese walking across the road, namely "enough of a person can go(凑够一撮人就走), not red light”. Just look at other people and do not see the light. It is generally believed that as long as we cross the road together, no car dares to hit us. Here is one of the excuses given by a pedestrian (行人).
Reporter:You know, you can’t run a red light, can you?
Pedestrian:No, I can’t.
Reporter:But why did you do that just now?
Pedestrian:I am in a hurry. I’ll be late for work.
… …
Everyone knows rules are made for people to follow, not to break.

The development of the English language took a giant step in 1607. Three small British ships c1. the Atlantic Ocean. They began to call areas of their new land by words borrowed from the native people. For example, many of the great r2. in the United States are taken from American Indian words. The Mississippi, the Tennessee, the Missouri are examples. This borrowing or adding of foreign words to English was a w3.of expanding(扩大)the language. The names of three days of the week are good examples of this. The people from Northern Europe honored three gods with a special day each week. The gods were Odin, Thor and Freya. Odin’s-day became Wednesday in English, Thor’s-day became T4. and Freya’s-day became Friday.
Experts cannot explain many English words. For h5. of years, a dog was called a “hound.” The word is still u6. but not as commonly as the word “dog.” English speakers just started using it. Other words whose origins are unknown i7.“fun,” “bad,” and “big.”
English speakers also continue to invent n8. words by linking old words together. A good example is the words “motor” and “hotel.” Many years ago
s9. linked them together into the word “motel.” A motel is a small hotel near a road where people travelling in cars can stay for the night.
Other words come from the f10. letters of names of groups or devices. For example, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization is usually called NATO.

Are people less happy or happier when they get older? If your answer is “happier”, then you are right, based on a study published five years ago. It found that people generally become happier and experience less worry after age fifty. In fact, it found that by the age of eighty-five, people are happier with their life than they were at eighteen.
The findings came from a Gallup survey of more than three hundred and forty thousand adults in the United States in 2008. At that time, the people were between the ages of eighteen and eighty-five.
Arthur Stone in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Science at Stony Brook University in New York led the study. His team found that levels of stress were the highest among adults between the ages of twenty-two and twenty-five. Stress levels dropped sharply after people reached their fifties.
Levels of happiness were the highest among the kids and those in their early seventies.
The survey also found that men and women have similar emotional patterns as they grow older. However, women at all ages reported more sadness, stress and worry than men did.
So why would happiness increase with age? One theory is that, as people get older, they become more thankful for what they have and have better control of their emotions. They also spend less time thinking about bad experiences.
