Computers can help many workers. They can also help thieves.
There was one thief who worked in a bank of the United States. He paid for everything he needed by check. Then he told the computer not to take any money from his account for the checks he wrote. The bank’s computer did what he said. And it did not take any money from his bank account. One day the computer broke down. People had to do the computer’s work. They soon found out what was happening.
Another thief， who worked for a bank saw customers( 顾客）filling in deposit forms (存款单). Many of these people did not know their account numbers， so they wrote only their names on the forms. They left empty places for their account numbers. The thief wrote his own account number in this place. When the computer read these forms， it looked only at the account numbers. It did not look at the customers’ names. It paid the money on these deposit forms into the thief’s account.
Also there was the bank worker who told the bank computer to take ten cents off every customer’s account each month and put it into his own account. For a long time the bank’s customers did not notice that they were losing ten cents every month. But then someone did notice and told the bank. That was the end of that little game!

If you want to become a better reader， what should you know about speed of reading?
Some people read very rapidly(很快地)， while others slowly. Which one is better? The rapid reader may be a good reader when he reads a storybook for fun. But he may not be able to slow down enough to read directions carefully. He may read so rapidly that he does not take time to understand fully the ideas and information which are important. The slow reader may be a good reader when he reads directions for making something. But he may spend too much time reading a simple story which is meant to be enjoyed but not to be remembered.
So， you see， either a rapid reader or a slow reader is not really a good one. If you wish to become a better reader， here are four important things to remember .

Even kids know that we should wait for the traffic light to turn green before crossing a road， but not everybody follows this basic rule. A CCTV news program showed that in only an hour， more than 600 people jumped red lights when crossing a road in Shijiazhuang， Hebei. “Chinese style road crossing” has become a hot expression recently. Chinese people “cross roads without thinking about traffic lights， so long as they are part of a crowd”， said a post on Sina Weibo.
Many people say that they jaywalk（乱穿马路）because the red light lasts too long. “People are likely to ignore(忽略) the light when the waiting time is longer than they can bear（忍受），”said Zhang Ming ， a member of the research team. However， a survey on Sina Weibo showed that nearly half of the respondents(调查对象)believe that people jaywalk mainly because they don’t respect rules.
Some Chinese cities have started taking some actions， too. For example， the first three people in a jaywalking group will be fined 50yuan in Shijiazhuang. But calling on people to obey rules is more important. To completely solve the problem， everyone should realize the importance of obeying the traffic rules.
