At the beginning of the twentieth century, traffic in big cities such as New York and London became very busy. Carriages, horses, and bikes rushed in every direction (方向), and then they were

80 by the newest toy of the rich people, the “automobiles (汽车).” In those days, crossing a street used to be a real challenge for people walking. There were no 81 for drivers. The New York Police Department had to create a special group of policemen to control traffic. Police officers stood at crossroads and tried to direct the traffic, but very often they were run over by vehicles (车辆).

They were 40 centimeters in diameter, and they were red, yellow, and green.

This was very confusing, so in 1924 the city adopted (采用) the system used in railroads: red for stop, green for go, and yellow for

slow. This system became standard all over the world.

The first automatic traffic lights came into use in Wolverhampton, England, in 1927. Today computers control traffic lights, and road conditions are much better than they used to be. The only

85 is when there is a power cut. The result is often confusion on the streets because the traffic lights don’t work. 80. A) joined 81. A) roads 82. A) Nothing 83. A) put off 84. A) stopped 85. A) chance
