Question

I have been driving cars since I reached the pedals (踏板) . In Canada you 16 sixteen to get a driving licence. I 17 myself to be a very good driver.

I visited China twenty years ago. At that time,I with my wife was in Shanghai to give a report in a conference. We 18 the number of bicycles on the roads and the few cars. In Canada,almost each family had one car,but it was 19 that most Chinese depended on bicycles.

I 20 Shanghai and other Chinese cities many times since then and have watched the fast changes on the roads. There are far fewer bicycles now but 21 cars. The roads are crowded,so the government has been forced to limit the number of days some cars can 22 But the traffic jams are almost constant (接連不斷的) .So are the accidents. On a recent visit I saw four or five 23 within a twoweek period.

To get a driving licence in Canada,you must drive,with an examiner,on real roads and in real traffic. However,in China you learn on a closed course,24 real traffic,get a licence and then you are able to drive on real roads.

Driving in Canada and driving in China 25 two different experiences. In Canada there are traffic jams but they aren’t so bad. We have more traffic lights and we obey them. Drivers are usually 26 ,allowing other cars to cut in in front of them. In China,if you stop 27 another car cut in in front of you,you will probably be there for a long time because once one car gets in,dozens of 28will follow.

I would rather 29 the bus than drive my car in downtown Shanghai,because it’s 30 and stronger than most things that might run into it.
