An east China highway pile-up on April 2nd has killed three people and injured 31 others. That day was the

first day of a three-day national holiday marking the Tomb-Sweeping Day.
Two people died in a local hospital where nine others are being treated. Another person died after treatment failed in a larger hospital in Wuxi where 22 remain hospitalized, Changzhou traffic police updated on its official microblog account at Weibo.com.
The accident happened at the Changzhou section of the highway linking Shanghai and Nanjing.

Local police told Xinhua Press that at least two trucks, three buses and 20 cars were involved. Rainy and foggy weather caused poor visibility and slippery roads.
What’s more, it was difficult for ambulances (救护车)to get to the scene of the accident because the life emergency lane was filled with vehicles, which delayed the rescue of the injured.
The Ministry (部长) of Public Security told traffic departments nationwide to keep a look out for vehicles using the emergency lane occupancy.
All highways in China leave the right lane as the emergency lane. Some drivers, however, pay no attention to this rule. Therefore, the police call on drivers to follow the rule strictly and offer the injured more hope of being saved.
The ministry also asked the police to watch the traffic more carefully so as to quickly discover the potential (潜在的) danger. The police have decided to add electronic monitoring instruments to catch the violations (违规者) and heavily fine drivers for it.

D．The police have decided to reduce electronic monitoring instruments after the accident.
3．According to the passage, why do the police ask drivers to be off the emergency lane?

Hannay was nervous. His enemies were searching for him. All around him were grassy hills without trees. He had nowhere to hide. How could he escape?
Hannay walked along the country road for a long time. Then he saw a road worker, who was working alone, fixing the road. Hannay could see the road worker was not feeling well. Hannay came up to him and said “How are you?”
“My head hurts,” the road worker said, “I can't do it. I want to go home to bed. My daughter got married yesterday, and I drank a lot of wine with my friends. That's the problem!”
Hannay agreed that he should be home in bed.
“Yes, and I would be,” he replied, “but yesterday I received a message saying that the new surveyor was coming to look at my work. If he comes and finds me away, I'll be in trouble.”
Suddenly Hannay had a bright idea—he could act as the road worker and get away from his enemies.
“You go off to bed,” Hannay said. “I'll do your job until the new surveyor comes.”
The road worker was pleased with his idea. He gave Hannay his hat and his old coat. Then he went home to sleep and perhaps to drink a bit more.

Hannay said “yes”. The surveyor told him about some work he wanted him to do before he came by again and drove off. Hannay continued with his work.
Then a village boy came by. “What has happened to the road worker?” he asked.
“He stayed at home today,” Hannay replied. “He's sick.”
At about midday, a large car came down the hill and stopped near Hannay. Three men got out of the car. Hannay's hearts beat fast. He knew his enemies were coming…
