Contigiani, 62, a onetime highpowered manager, is now an ambassador for the 只有比别人更早、更勤奋地努力，才能尝到成功的滋味。 3 slow life movement around the world. He started the first World Slow Day in 2007 to encourage the values of living and working at a more natural pace, and to make people rethink their daily lifestyle. Contigiani’s association suggests “14 commandments (诫条)” for living better, such as waking up five minutes earlier to enjoy breakfast without rushing. Others include walking whenever possible, and reading in the evenings instead of watching television. This year, Contigiani left Italy where the event has spread around the country for Shanghai, one of the fastest moving cities in the world. The slowliving supporter said he wandered around the busiest streets of the commercial center for an entire afternoon, inviting people to “slow down”. “Among the ’14 commandments’， the one about waking up five minutes earlier was the most popular by far，” Contigiani said. Back in Italy, the now wellknown event hosts a lot of activities, such as reminding people to stop and smell the roses.In central Milan, you would probably be fined if you walk too fast. In parks and public spaces, free yoga and T’ai Chi (太极拳) lessons are important parts of the events. Italian Farmers’ Union noted that Italians spent less and less time preparing meals, a habit connected to rising levels of obesity. Therefore, the group said World Slow Day was a good opportunity to remind Italians to take extra time at meals in particular. World Slow Day is by now an international event. A total of 90 “Slow Cities” in 11 countries inspired by the “living well” philosophy are supporting the day. 1．What’s the best title of the text?

As is vividly shown in the picture, huge numbers of vehicles get stuck on the road, bringing travelers a lot of inconvenience. Many reasons account for this phenomenon. To begin with, due to economic boom, the number of private cars has been increasing than expected. Thus, they prefer to drive when going out. At the same time, the city traffic system still remains unimproved, unable to cater to the need. Travelers’ ignorance of traffic rules is also a contributing factor. Personally, effective measures must be taken to address the problem. It can be a good idea to encourage taking public transport instead of driving, especially in rush hours. Additionally, the city traffic infrastructure can be improved, such as widening the narrow 只有比别人更早、更勤奋地努力，才能尝到成功的滋味。 7 streets. Last but not least, those on the roads should strictly obey the traffic rules. Only by these means can traffic jams be eased.
