Nowadays many people cross streets without watch traffic lights. So traffic accidents often happen to those who didn't follow traffic rules. Why don't people follow traffic rules？Because they haven't realized an importance of traffic safety. Besides, some people are such busy that they don't want to wait for the green light. How do we solve the terribly situation？First of all, we should develop into the habit of following traffic rules. Secondly, who breaks traffic rules should punished. Lastly, we should teach kids how to cross streets safe. If we do that, there will be fewer traffic accident and we will live a better life.

   One of my earliest memories was watching my mom talk on our old phone. I was fascinated that she could talk to someone who wasn't actually in the room with her. 【小题1】 I was wondering how she managed to talk with someone she couldn't see.

That was a long time ago. Later, we had mobile phones that could be carried around the room. 【小题2】 These days I can send an e-mail around the world in a second. My daughter's smart phone has a hundred apps and a dozen social media accounts. She stores all of her information in a mysterious place known as“the cloud disk”, where she can take it out at any time. It seems that we are more connected in this world than ever before.

【小题3】 Few spend time talking face to face. Instead of looking into the eyes of our loved ones , we store their photos at our screens. It seems that the most connected generations are also the loneliest.

Don't let technology take our time and ruin our life. Make the time to communicate with each other. Take a walk on the beach with a friend. Have a long conversation with the phones off and the hearts on. 【小题4】

Remember that we are here to love each other,help each other and make this world a better place. 【小题5】 But when it can't, turn it off.

   Forty percent of teens say they have been hit or nearly hit by a car，motorcycle or bike while walking，according to a new report released by the Safe Kids Worldwide organization.

Safe Kids Delaware has released a list of safety tips children and teens should follow in order to remain safe while walking. The group said it is important to put down phones and remove headphones while crossing the street，make eye contact with drivers before crossing，and remain visible to drivers even in the dark.

"We all know about the dangers of distracted（思想不集中的）driving，but we need to talk to our children，especially teens，about the dangers of walking while they are distracted by using technology like listening to music with headphones on，and texting on cellphones，"said Kim O'Malley，the pedestrian（行人）safety conductor for Safe Kids Delaware.

Teens on the Moue is the name of the report，which explores the walking behavior of  1，040 teenagers between the ages of 13 to 19.Half of the surveyed teens admitted they were distracted by a mobile device while crossing the street. The study also found that more often than not，those who were hit or nearly hit had not been using a crosswalk（人行横道）or had been running across the street.

Safe Kids Worldwide reports that the death rate for teens aged 13 to 19 is nearly three times higher than that of 5-to 12-year-olds.In Delaware，seven teenagers aged 15 to 19 have been killed in pedestrian crashes in the last three years，and another 123 have been injured. By comparison，just two children aged 5 to 9 were killed at that time and another 79 were injured. The new report expands on findings from a similar one in 2015 that showed one in five high schoolers and one in eight middle schoolers crossed the street while distracted by using technology.
