Hold二、阅读理解AThere are about 80,000,000 mines (煤矿) under the ground in more than 60 countries. It is difficult and dangerous to clear these mines. About 50 people including many children were killed or hurt each day. In 2003, APOPO, a Dutch research company that trains the animals, came up with the idea of using rats to search for the mines.The animal trainers found that a kind of rats from Africa were clever and had a sharp sense of smell. The rats were about 75 cm long and weighed about 1.35 kg, light enough to run across a minefield without setting off the mines.In January 2004, the APOPO started this project. First, the trainers let the 4-week-old baby rats get familiar with humans. A few weeks later, the rats were no longer afraid of people and the things around them. Then they were trained to connect a click sound with food. After the rats had learned that, the trainers then taught them to tell the difference between the smell of mines and other smells. When the rats could do it, the click was sounded and they were given a bit of banana. The method was called clicker training. “The training isn’t easy，” said trainer Abdullah Mchomvu. “You have to be patient. Sometimes I ge t angry, but then again, I tell myself these are animals.”After nine months’ training, the rats were taken to a minefield. They ran across the minefield, stopped, sat and scratched the ground to tell the de-miners that they smelt out a mine. Then the mine was cleared. It had taken two de-miners a day to clear a 200㎡minefield, but with the help of two rats they could finish it in two hours.The rats and the de-miners saved thousands of lives, “The rats did this job much better than we expected. So far they have helped to make almost 2,000,000㎡of land safe. They are heroes，” said Bart Weeqens, the head of the APOPO.16.

Traffic jams can lead to increased accidents as there are more cars, with more people trying to get to their destination, all the while getting worse. Although traffic jams are inevitable, there are some tips you can follow to reduce the amount of time on the road.Check for traffic jams before you leave. You can listen to the radio for traffic news,or check on the Internet to get up-to-minute information on traffic. If the route you want to take is heavy with traffic, you can choose another.Look for a different route all the time.Most traffic jams happen on busy roads. Using country roads could help you avoid a lot of traffic. Although the distance you may have to travel is further, it can work out quicker.Set your car radio to receive traffic bulletins. Many new car stereo systems (汽车音响系统) are equipped with a radio system by which you can hear the traffic channel. This way you can get the latest traffic information and change your journey if necessary.__________. Most traffic jams usually occur during rush hour, so try to avoid this time period if possible. Some jobs offer flexible working hours so that you can travel to work outside of rush hour. Some jobs even allow you to work at home so as to avoid moving altogether. Ask your manager to see what you can do if traffic is a problem for you.Use public transport where available. The easiest way to avoid traffic jams is to take buses or the underground instead of driving your own car. Not only will you avoid traffic jams but you will most likely be saving money as the cost of motoring rises.20. What’s the best title for the passage?A. Heavy traffic on the roadB.
