阅读理解。 While drunken driving may be on the decline, traffic safety experts remain puzzled over how to deal withanother alcohol related er: drunken pedestrians (行人). Pedestrians struck and killed by cars often are extremely drunk. In fact, they are intoxicated more frequently, and with higher blood alcohol levels, than drunken drivers who are killed in accidents, various studies have shown.

The total number of pedestrians killed annually in U.S. traffic accidents is at least 7,000, or one of everyseven highway accidents resulting in death.
