Everybody knows that it is dangerous to cross the street without looking both ways in China. However, I had a different experience in Berkeley, a beautiful city in California, US.
I didn’t kn ow what to do when I had to cross the roads 46 my first couple of days there: I wondered whether I should let the car go first or not? Based on my old experience back in
China, I would certainly let the car go. “Who wants to be knocked down by a car?” I thought to 47 .
One day, I was checking for cars while I was waiting to go to the other side of the road. An SUV came fast toward me, so I stopped and 48 . However, to my great surprise, the car stopped right in front of me. To be honest, I was a little confused because in China drivers usually try hard to drive as 49 as possible to cross the road before people step out. Not knowing what to do for a moment, I saw no sign the car was going to move, so I offered a “signal’ to let him go first.
The driver waved to me with a gentle smile, seemingly saying: “Go buddy! You first!” 50 a polite battle, I gave in and walked onto the crossing first.
This took place nearly six months ago, but the scene still comes back to my mind 51 . Good road-crossing manners between driver and pedestrian(行人) mean 52 , fewer accidents and most importantly, respect between people. I really hope that more Chinese people will realize this and make crossing the street 53 for all the people.
