The good news is that the accident rate is dropping. For example, the number of pedestrians killed last year was 24 percent less than the number killed in traffic accidents a decade earlier. The bad news is that the basic causes of pedestrian deaths remain pretty much the same----disregard for traffic signals, inattention and crossing roads under the influence of alcohol and drugs. Alcohol, in fact, was involved in 46 percent of the traffic accidents that resulted in pedestrian deaths. Of those, 31 percent of the pedestrians were found to be drunk.

　　The bottom line is that the pedestrians must do more to protect their lives as well as the lives of other road users. They can start by obeying traffic signals, using marked cross-walks and calling a cab when they’ve had too much to drink.

　　63. The passage is mainly about _____.

　　A. what the traffic rules of the road about pedestrians were

　　B. why so many Americans were killed on roads last year

　　D. who are to blame for pedestrian deaths, drunk drivers or the aggressive pedestrians

　　A. They believe individuals are always first.

　　B. They know all drivers are skilled and with great care.

　　C. They think traffic rules have nothing to do with them.
