（B）Other people are quite different from these two kinds of people mentioned above. Instead of being hopeless and lost, they draw a lesson from every failure and become more experienced. They will be successful after hard work in the end. So we should draw a lesson from every failure and become more experienced.

Many people believe that life has smiled on Yang Mi: at the age of 4, she got her first TV drama role; at 16, she became a model for a fashion magazine; at 18, she went to her dream college — Beijing Film Academy (北京电影学院). That year, the 24-year-old actress played the bad girl Luo Qingchuan in the time-travelling TV drama, Palace (《宫锁心玉》). The drama became a big success and made Yang very famous. The number of her micro blog followers rises from several thousand to more than 3 million overnight.
Could she be any luckier? Yang doesn’t think luck had anything to do with her success. She works hard all by herself. “Every chance is achieved from the efforts I’ve made,”said Yang. People now think she’s very hard-working.
She still remembers the time when people gave her the cold shoulder. People treated her with little love. They didn’t want to help her in her time of need.“I have to thank them because they gave me the strength to prove myself,”she said
That’s why she is eager to help others when they are in need.
In May, Yang became the ambassador (大使) for the Climate Group to fight the bad weather. She calls on people to join the Million-Miracle (百万奇迹) project and plant trees on China’s dry land.

Even kids know that we should wait for the traffic light to turn green before crossing a road, but not everybody follows this basic rule.
“Chinese style road crossing” has become a hot expression recently. 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 ran red lights when crossing a road in Shijiazhuang, Hebei.
Many people say that they jaywalk (乱穿马路) because 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 from 2008 to 2010. They found that Chinese people would wait for 70 to 90 seconds before they lost their patience.
“People are likely to run the red light when the waiting time is longer than they can bear (忍受),”said Ni Ying, a member of the research team.
However, a survey on Sina Weibo shows that nearly half of respondents (调查对象) believe that people jaywalk mainly because they disregard (忽视) rules.
“I always obey(遵守) traffic rules. Time is important but safety should come first,”wrote “Qixiaoe”on 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 people in a jaywalking group will be fined (罚款) 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,”Wang Jianping, a professor at Sichuan University, said to Huaxi Metropolis Daily.
1.What does the phrase“the team”in Paragraph 5 refer to(指的是)?
A. A CCTV news program.
B. A research group at Tongji University

D. Huaxi Metropolis Daily.
2.How long will Chinese people wait for to cross the road before they lose patience?
A. Less than one minute.
B. About five minutes.
C. Less than one and a half minutes.
D. More than ten minutes.
3.In the sentence“People are likely to run the red light, we can use ________ to take the place of “be likely to.
A. may B. love to
C. be able to D. be going to
4.Why do people jaywalk according to the survey on Sina Weibo?
A. Because there are too many people on the road.
B. Because the red light lasts too long.
C. Because people don’t pay much attention to rules.
D. Because people have less patience.
5.Wang Jianping suggests that we should ______ to solve the problem of jaywalking.
A. punish the jaywalkers
B. disregard the traffic rules
C. reduce the time of red lights
D. call on people to obey the traffic rules
