一、阅读理解
Glacier National Park is a popular tourist attraction that attracts many tourists.Patti, a grandmother who lives near the park, noticed that there were a lot of speeding cars on her road. “Drivers always forget to slow down. Many people in my community are unhappy with the traffic. They cant walk or ride a bike,” said Patti.
Worried about the safety of her grandchildren and the community, Patti decided to take matters into her own hands. She sat alone on the side of the road with a hairdryer (吹风机) in her hand. The hairdryer looked very much like a speed radar gun. So Patti tried to act as a traffic police officer doing a speed check.
What Patti did worked. The drivers began to slow down. They thought it was strange and funny to see a grandma sitting there with a hairdryer. One day, her son took a picture of her while she was “at work” and shared it online. Soon, the grandmother with a hairdryer became the talk of the town. More and more people started paying attention to the traffic problem.
Later, her effort caught the attention of the local government. An officer named Noah Pesola gave his heartfelt thanks to her for her creative effort to make the road safer.
No one could have imagined that Pattis simple act would have such an influence.
