Only a few people in Toronto have the luck to live within walking distance from their workplace. For the rest of us, commuting(乘车上下班) is a rather unpleasant daily necessity.
So how do you avoid a traffic jam in Toronto? You can do it in the old way and listen to one of the radio stations that give regular updates about the traffic situation in Toronto's streets. Seeing the big picture of Toronto's traffic and knowing when and where heavy traffic occurs is a must. From my own experience, there are situations where a quick decision can help you make it in time for an event or a meeting. That's why we prepared three short videos showing the overall traffic situation in Toronto from dawn to night. You can click them and watch.
With the help of “Google Maps”, where you can watch the live traffic density all over the world and average traffic data based on past conditions, we were able to provide you with traffic maps for a typical(平常的) Friday.
Friday traffic in Toronto is quite fast in the early morning, with only a few hot spots showing up at the major junctions(交叉点) at 7:00 a. m. The morning traffic jam starts light at 7:30 and the traffic gradually slows down to reach a breaking point at 8:30. The roads are quite free afterwards, only Allen Road is likely to be jammed around lunchtime from 11:30 a. m. to 12:00 noon. It comes as no surprise that Friday afternoon brings heavy traffic as early as 1:00 p. m., mainly on the Don Valley Parkway. You won't have a good time getting away from the city from 4:00 p. m. to 6:30 p. m., as there is a good chance to get caught in a traffic jam. The traffic in Toronto is quite heavy on a Friday night. I hope you will have a nice Friday night in the city and a safe journey home this Friday!
1.By saying “commuting is a rather unpleasant daily necessity”, the writer refers to the fact that________.
A.buses are usually very crowded
B.they are often stuck in traffic jams
C.they have to travel a long way to work
D.they usually cannot do anything on the way to work
2.According to Paragraph 2, when you are in a traffic jam,you should________.
A.do nothing but to wait patiently
B.report your situation to a radio station
C.relax and enjoy some good radio programs
D.make a quick decision and find another way to go
3.What is the last paragraph mainly about?
A.What the traffic in Toronto is like for a typical Friday.
B.How to avoid heavy traffic on Friday.
C.Why the traffic is terrible on Friday.
D.What “Google Maps” can do for us.
4.In Toronto, on Friday you are most likely to suffer heavy traffic________.
A.from 6:30 a. m. to 7:00 a. m.
B.from 8:30 a. m. to 9:30 a. m.
C.from 10:30 a. m. to 11:00 a. m.

American schools do not have separate classes for boys and girls. If boys want to cook or to sew, they can learn these things in classes that are no longer just for girls. If girls want to repair cars, they can now learn this in school. Most students like to have boys and girls on the same baseball team.
Many boys and girls dress alike in school. They wear blue jeans and sport shirts. Some have long hair and some have short hair. Sometimes a boy has longer hair than a girl.
Even the language is different. Students learn to say fire fighter instead of fireman, police officer instead of policeman, and letter carrier instead of mailman. A person does not need to be a man to fight a fire or to deliver the mail.
Most people think that these changes are great. They give all people an equal chance to be happy and to do what they want to do with their lives. Fathers like to tell their sons that they can grow up to be president. Today, mothers can tell the same things to their daughters.
