1. (2016八下·桥东期末) 阅读下列短文, 根据短文内容选择最佳答案。

    Every day in China, about 200 million children go to school. Many of them take school buses. What should we do to keep these students safe on the road?

On April 5, the State Council (国务院) published new rules about school bus safety. These new rules are stricter than the old ones.

    Under the new rules, local governments must make sure that students go to nearby schools or boarding (寄宿的) schools to reduce traffic risks. Also, local governments must help kids in the countryside reach their school buses.

    From now on, school buses have a speed limit of 80 km/h on highways and 60km/h on normal roads. While on the road, other cars must let school buses go first.

    The new rules also say that school buses must never be overloaded (超载的).

    There are many other rules as well. A school bus must have more than seven seats. On each bus, there must be at least one adult(成年人) tokeep an eye on the kids. Each school bus must have a fire extinguisher (灭火器), a first aid kit (急救箱) and a GPS.

Last year, a series of school bus accidents happened in China. To stop such accidents, the Central Government decided to strengthen (加强) the rules for school buses.

The most serious accident happened in Gansu in November, when a nine-seat minibus crashed. There were 62 children inside, and 21 of them died.
