21、Some researchers explain how most people form their social groups with people of their age. Especially, as children and teenagers， even adults， people make their friends based on proximity （邻近） more than anything else． Even in a college classroom，the students may not make friends with those who have similar personalities and interests． It's the people they really sit next to．Clearly，who stands to you has the greatest influence on you．As Jim Rohn has widely said． "You are average （平均） of five people you spend the most time with．"

Over the past ten months， I've paid Ryan, a famous writer of several bestselling books， to help with the book I'm writing． Working with him has shown me just how low my standards for my work are． For example， every time I send him a drab （草稿）， he shows me how it could be 10 times better，and he holds me to that standard．

________________ It's because that I don't know what I don't know． Working with Ryan has made me realize what is possible and what it takes to create something powerful．

Like Ryan，my business partner Richard has wonderful ideas and far different experience than I have．He has written 36 New York Times Bestsellers．He's been speaking and doing events for 20 years．Richard always performs at high levels，and he is also very strict with me because my performance is a reflection （反映） on him． It's not a bad thing because it creates high pressure （压力） to help me make great progress in organizing author training．

In a word，you need to stay with those people who can help you realize your level and potential．Staying with people who have higher standards is the fastest way for you to change．If you don't change your environment， your progress will be very slow． Who you stay with has huge importance． You can't ignore this．

24、Why think of road safety? It is because of the accidents that occur every day on the road. These accidents mean losing rife or wealth and more than traffic jams. So if people aren’t educated on the importance of road safety, the situation can’t be avoided.

Accidents have many causes. The simplest is people slipping down on the road caused by a banana skin. Without meaning any harm, a person may throw away the banana skin on the road. When a person steps on, he or she will slip down ending in broken bones and sometimes even more dangerous. So people must take care and throw them in a bin. In some countries, the offenders are seriously punished. The second cause is careless crossing in busy roads instead of crossing along zebra crossings. One should keep to the sidewalk of the road while walking and the vehicles must keep to their lanes in busy streets.

Also, there are many causes for the accidents about vehicles. One is trying to overtake. Another is not noticing the signals. “Stop, look and go” is the basic rule, it will save vehicles from accidents. Riding two or three side by side is always dangerous. Very often the cause of accidents is the failure of the brake system which means the owner of the vehicle does not keep the machine in good condition.

Road safety is a matter of education in which schools can share responsibility. Through class meetings, children can be taught the importance of observing the rules of the road. As soon as the bell goes, children rush out and accidents do happen. Therefore, teachers must feel it their day to control the traffic near the school. The polie can help schools at rush hours.

To make people aware of road safety, media can play a useful role. The newspaper, the wall poster and the cinema and now the TV can deliver information. There may be speeches over the radio by the police officials or advertisements about being careful on roads before films or TV programs.

A．people obey traffic rules

A．take less money

B．never go out

C．be educated

D．protect ourselves

【3】What does “offenders” in Paragraph 2 refer to?

A．people who step on banana skins

B．people who throw banana skins on the road

C．people who walk on zebra crossings

D．people who keep their lanes while driving

【4】How many causes for the accidents about vehicles are mentioned in Paragraph 3?
