    British roads are some of the safest in the world. A study in 2018 compared more than 30 countries and found that 3.8 people per 100000 died in traffic accidents in the UK. 1. So, what did British drivers do to achieve this? What are they doing differently? Here are five top tips for drivers who are planning a trip to the UK.

2. In fact, a long time ago people drove on the left in most countries, but now only a few countries have this. Don't forget that this also means you must drive the other way around roundabouts.

British people feel that waiting should be fair for everybody.3.This is called “jumping the queue”. You must wait for your turn; otherwise people may get angry with you.

You must stop at the traffic lights when they are red. In many countries, it is OK to go past the red lights if you are turning a corner or if there isn't any other traffic around. 4.

If another driver flashes his car's lights at you, he is probably trying to tell you that he will wait for you to go first. British people don't like to use their car horn much and they think people who do so are rude.

5. The police in the UK never take money, and if you try to offer them some, you could end your holiday visiting British prison.

Word Bank:

roundabout 环岛  flash闪烁   horn喇叭  prison监狱

A.This number was lower than any other country.

旅游胜地——巴黎

The streets are quietand the stores are closed. There's the smell of fresh bread from a bakery somewhere. It would be hard to say which time of the day in Paris I prefer, but this probably is. Soon the streets will be full of people and traffic, and the real Paris will appear as the city wakes up. Under the city are hundreds of miles of tunnels. There are old subways and wine cellars that have been made into galleries. During the 19th century, farmers grew mushrooms in them. During World War Ⅱ the French fighters also used them. Since the 1970s, groups of young people have spent days and nights there. Parties, theater performances, art galleries—everything goes here!

Everywhere you go under Paris, there is history and stories. Writers often write about the tunnels in their books. Victor Hugo mentions them in his famous novel Les Miserables. There is an underground pool there—with fish! Tourists can visit parts of the Paris underground.

You're not allowed to enter other parts of the underground. However, there are people who will take you to visit them. I have found two unofficial tour guides—Dominique and Yopie. They take me through many tunnels, and after a couple of hours we arrive at a room which isn't on any map.

It's comfortable and clean, with a table, chairs, and a bed. Yopie tells me there are many other places like this. Many people come down here to have parties. They like the room.

1.Which of the following is not mentioned in the first paragraph?

A.The quiet streets.

B.The closed stores.

C.The underground pool with fish.

D.The smell of fresh bread.

2.When did the French fighters use the tunnels?

A.During World War Ⅰ.

B.During World War Ⅱ.

C.During the 19th century.

D.During the 21th century.

3.What is Victor Hugo?

A.He is a farmer. B.He is a soldier.

C.He is a writer. D.He is a guide.

4.How might the writer feel when he saw the room that Dominique and Yopie took him to?

A.Sad. B.Proud.

C.Afraid. D.Satisfied.
