        　　When John and Marry first arrived in China from America, they were not used
to the traffic. They found streets were so busy, the traffic was heavy and
really noisy. That was not really a problem to them in New York where the
traffic is also noisy and heavy. The main problem facing John and Mary was the
different traffic rules in China. They were used to crossing the street at the
crossing while the traffic stopped for the pedestrians. Now, they had to learn
how to dodge the traffic not only when they crossed the road but sometimes even
on the sidewalks.
