阅读下列短文，从下面每小题的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。（共20小题，每小题1.5分）
A
People are often killed while crossing the road. Most of these people are old people and children. Old people are often killed because they usually cannot see or hear very well. Children are often killed because they are not careful. They have to look and listen before they cross the road.
A car, truck or bus cannot stop very quickly. If it is going very fast, it will travel many meters before it stops. People don’t always understand this. They think a car can stop within a few meters. The faster a car is traveling, the longer it takes to stop.
The only safe way to cross the road is to look both ways, right and left. Then if the road is clear, it is safe to cross. The right way to cross is to walk quickly. It is dangerous to run. If people run across the road, they may fall down.
( ) 26. are often killed when they cross the road.

B
British newspapers are much smaller than they used to be and their readers are often in a hurry, so newspapermen write as few words as possible. They tell their readers at once what happened, where, when and how it happened and what was the result: how many people were killed, what change was done and so on. Readers want the fact（事实） set out as fully and accurately as possible. Readers are also interested in the people who have seen the accident. So a newspaperman always likes to get some information（信息） from someone who was there, which can be given in the person’s own words. Because he can use only a few words, the newspaperman must choose those words carefully, every one must be effective（有效）. Instead of “he called out in a loud voice”, he writes “he shouted”; instead of “the loose stones rolled noisily down the side of the mountain”, he will write “they thundered down the mountainside”. Because many of the readers aren’t very clever, and most of them are in a hurry.
( ) 30. From the text, we learn that newspapermen write as few words as possible, because readers ___________.
A. want to know more about the news
