（2022·山东菏泽·三模）Not long ago, a short video of a deliveryman (快递员) touched the hearts of many users on the Internet, People’s Daily reported on Sunday. The video showed a food deliveryman eating a cake when crying on the side of a road in Wuhan, Hubei province.

On April 15, the day of his birthday, the deliveryman picked up a cake at a bakery and found a note on the order that said, “The cake is a gift for the delivery person. Life is not easy. Please take good care of yourself!”

Surprised at the order, he went back to the shop quickly to get more information. They called the customer and learned the cake was in fact for him.

The deliveryman was not going to celebrate his birthday this year, as he had been busy working during the fight against COVID-19. The special gift from the kind-hearted customer moved (使感动) him to tears (眼泪) and he cried as he lit a candle on the cake, and then ate it.

During the novel coronavirus outbreak (新型冠状病毒爆发), people made millions of orders across the country and delivery workers really worked hard with danger. And many people made orders for hard-working delivery workers, too.

“Everyone is moved and touched at some point in their lives,” one user wrote under the video.

（2022·山东临沂·二模）It seems that food deliverymen (送货员) are always rushing in haste. We can always see them running every minute, and they seem to have lots of things to do the next minute. They wear blue, red or yellow helmets (头盔) and many of them don’t follow traffic rules. They drive on the wrong side of the road and run red lights. They use mobile phones when they are driving.

However, not everything goes well with food deliverymen. In the first half of 2017, food deliverymen had 76 traffic accidents in Shanghai. That means every two and a half days, a food deliveryman will die or get hurt on the road.

What makes deliverymen take such risks? The strict rules of the food delivery companies and the worried customers may be the answer. Many companies will fine (罚款) a deliveryman up to 2,000 yuan if he can’t deliver the food on time, reported China Daily. Fines also go to those who get bad reviews from customers.

To solve the problem, food delivery service companies need to do some changes. Some cities are also taking action. Shanghai has asked companies to train their deliverymen on traffic rules and safety. Now in Shenzhen, if a deliveryman breaks traffic rules more than twice, then he can’t do the job for a whole year.
