Learn how to drive safely in the UK

British roads are the safest in the world一in 2010, only 3. 8 people out of 100, 000 died in road accidents. This number is lower than that in any other country. If you go there, you should try to drive the same way as British people do. This is some advice for visitors who plan to go driving in the UK.

Drive on the left side of the road. In most countries, people drive on the right side. Many visitors have problems because they forget about this difference.

If there is line of cars, don't try to go past other people to get to the front. This is called "jumping the line". If you do this, other people will get angry with you.

Stop at the traffic lights. In the UK, drivers always stop when the light is red, although there aren't any cars or people around.

Don't use your horn（喇叭）too much. If you do, people will think you are not polite. If another driver flashes（闪光）their lights at you, then they are probably trying to tell you that they will wait for you to go first.

If you have an accident, then don't try to bribe（贿赂）the police! If you do, you might finish your visit in prison（监狱）.

【解析】

这篇短文主要介绍了英国道路是世界上最安全的道路之一，死于交通事故的人数比其他国家都要低，英国司机是如何做到这一点的，作者列举了去英国旅行的最新建议。

1.根据文中“Drive on the left side of the road. In most countries, people drive on the right side. Many visitors have problems because they forget about this difference.” 在路的左边开车。在大多数国家，人们开车靠右行驶。很多游客都有问题，因为他们忘记了这一点。可知，“许多游客在英国开车时遇到麻烦，因为他们经常忘记这一差别。”短语get into troubleb意为“惹麻烦”。故答案为trouble。

2.根据文中“If there is line of cars, don't try to go past other people to get to the front. This is called "jumping the line". If you do this, other people will get angry with you.” 如果有车排成一列，不要试图超过其他人到前面。这叫做“跳线”。如果你这样做，别人会生你的气。可知，这里是“如果有车排成一行，你应该避免去东边其他人到前面。”avoid doing sth.避免做某事。根据题意，故答案为avoid。

3.根据文中“In the UK, drivers always stop when the light is red, although there aren't any cars or people around.” 在英国，司机总是在红灯时停车，尽管周围没有汽车或人。可知这里是说“虽然周围没有汽车和人，但红灯时司机总是停车。”这里是缺少连词，用although引导的让步状语从句。首字母注意大写。根据题意，故答案为Although。

4.根据文中“Don't use your horn（喇叭）too much. If you do, people will think you are not polite.” 不要过度使用喇叭。如果你这样做，人们会认为你不礼貌。not polite相当于impolite意思是“不礼貌的”。If you do, people will think you are___的意思是“如果你这样做，人们就会认为你是不礼貌的。”impolite形容词，不礼貌的。根据题意，故答案为impolite。

5.根据文中“If you have an accident, then don't try to bribe（贿赂）the police! If you do, you might finish your visit in prison（监狱）.” 如果你出了事故，不要贿赂警察！如果你这样做了，你可能会在监狱里结束你的访问。这里是副词，If you bribe the police, you will ___5___ get into the prison.意思是“如果你贿赂警察，你可能会进监狱。” probably副词，可能。根据题意，故答案为probably。
