139 The Dancing Cop　　Do you want to be a traffic cop in Thailand？ Are you a good dancer？ If you aren't， you won't stand a chance.　　Traffic cops in Thailand dance as they direct traffic. These cops are good entertainers. They twist and turn and make fancy movements with their white-gloved hands. Everyone agrees they help ease tension on the roads. And because they make people smile and feel happy， the image of Bangkok policemen has improved by leaps and bounds. As a result， motorists have become more cooperative and understanding. Odd as it may be，it seems to work. Don't forget to also keep your eye on the road， though. If you don't， you might cause an accident. You can be sure the cops won't be dancing then.　　light traffic heavy traffic　　stand a chance 拥有机会　　By studying hard， you stand a good chance to pass that test.　　dance to the music with a partner　　entertainer —— amuse someone 艺人　　fancy 漂亮的　　toss and turn 辗转反侧　　tense 紧张的，语法时态　　leaps and bounds 突飞猛进　　spoil one's image 形象　　as a result = therefore　　Odd as it may be = Though it may be odd　　Keey an eye on your children while you are cooking in the kitchen.　　accident 意外事件 traffic accident 车祸
