Safety in the highway is not totally out of our hands. Here are four ways we can do to protect our?selves when we travel.

10 People in small cars are injured more often and more severely than people travelling in large cars. Factories of small cars are strengthening their products' safety, which helps. But the mix of large cars and small cars on the road is the main reason of the problem.

Being thrown into glass and metal car parts, or be?ing thrown from the car can really hurt or even kill you.

11   The safety belt's main purpose is to pull you back if your car has a sudden crash with another Vehicle or object, or if it rolls over. A belt can reduce the chance of deadly injury by 45 % and the chance of serious injury by 50%.

Air bags are important. More than half of all new cars sold have air bags. Air bags provide protection in frontal crashes—the type of crash that kills the most drivers―when they are also wearing safety belts. Most people are demanding air bags in the cars they buy.

12   Effective as they are, they can't take the place of safety belts.

Drunk driving crashes are less likely to happen if you don't drink. 13 Many people have realized that drunk driving can lead to death and injury, prison time and other results. There are movements to strengthen penalties(处罚)for drinking and driving.

A.    How to drive safely?

B.    You are safer in a large car.

C.    How to protect ourselves in the highway?

D.    Air bags are not installed in all cars.

E.    That's why safety belts should be worn.

F.    Drunk driving is the most serious problem.

G.    But the protection provided by air bags is limited in side or rear crashes.

C 根据下文的"Safety in the highway is not totally out of our hands."可推知,本文的主题是讲如何在高速公路上确保自身安全,故选C项。

 B 根据下文的"People in small cars are injured more often and more severely than people travelling in large cars.,,可知, 在大车上安全系数要髙些,故选B项。

E 根据上文的"Being thrown into glass and metal car parts, or being thrown from the car can really hurt or even kill you."可知,此处上下句表示逻辑上的因果关系,表示结论,故选E项。

G 承接上文的"Air bags are important.",并根据下文的"Effective as they are, they can't take the place of safety belts."可推知,安全气囊的作用还是有限的,故选G项。

F 根据下文的"Many people have realized that drunk driv?ing can lead to death and injury, prison time and other results."可知,酒后驾车后果很严重,故选F项。

If you are sending a text message, watching TV or listening to the radio, you may stop and give this your full attention. Multitasking shrinks (使..... 萎缩)the brain? research suggests.

A study found that men and women who frequently used several types of technology at the same time had less grey matter in a key part of the brain. University of Sussex re?searchers said, " Using mobile phones, laptops and other media devices simultaneously could be changing the structure of our brains."

Worryingly, the part of the brain that shrinks is involved in processing emotion. The finding follows research which has linked multitasking with a shortened attention span, de?pression ,anxiety and lower grades at school.

The researchers began by asking 75 healthy men and women how often they divided their attention between differ?ent types of technology. This could mean sending a text mes?sage while listening to music and checking e-mail, or speaking on the phone while watching TV and surfing the Internet. The volunteers were then given brain scans which showed they had less grey matter in a region called the anterior cingu-late cortex (ACC)(前扣带皮层).Scientists have proved that brain structure can be changed on exposure to fresh environ?ments and experience.

Other studies have shown that training—such as learning to play magic tricks or taxi drivers' learning the map of Lon?don―can increase grey matter densities (密度)in certain parts.

Experts have also warned of the harmful impact technol?ogy can have on our memory and attention span. The Univer?sity of California team conducted a survey of more than 18,000 people aged between 18 and 99, and found 20% had problems with memory. Researchers were shocked greatly by the 14 % of 18 to 39-year-old people who also worried about their memories.

  Multitasking may shorten attention span, making it harder to focus and form memories, the researchers said, adding that youngsters may be particularly affected by stress.

For foreigners, entering a public toilet inChinacan be a horrifying experience. In the 1990s, a third of all complaints to tourism officials in Beijing concerned the design, and the bad smell of public toilets.

China has battled smelly toilets for at least 2 , 000 years. In the Kingdom of Wei (220—265AD) , visitors to the palace bathrooms would find boxes to cover their noses and ward off unpleasant smells. Both flushing (冲水)toilets and toilet paper were invented in China, however? only for the use of the emperor.

Today Chinese scientists have claimed victory in their battle to improve public restrooms, introducing a bacterial spray that can almost eliminate the bad smell. First, a set of six types of bacteria work to break down the smelly compounds and then a perfume made from or?ange skin lightly scents(使芳香)the air. The "smell-free toilet" study from the Chinese Academy of Sciences was declared the "ultimate" cure to an "urgent" national issue.

"Five scientists have worked on this from 2011 to the beginning of this year," said Dr Yan Zhiying, a bacteriolo?gist with the Academy's Chengdu Institute of Biology, adding that they had spent £140, 000 on the project.

"Some local government officials here visited a sew?age (污水 ) plant and saw that the treatment technology had come from Japan. They wanted a home-grown solu?tion so they asked us to work on it," he added. "We ob?tained bacteria from all types of waste from humans, pigs, chicken and ducks, and we tested our compounds one by one," he said. "The smells coming out of public toilets, or trash cans, are made up of more than 160 dif?ferent compounds," he explained, adding that their bac?teria spray can change and absorb many of them.

He boasted that the Chinese formula(配方),which costs only around £5 per litre, has no side effects and can be used to remove any bad smell.

1.The underlined words "ward off" in Paragraph 2 can be replaced by " ,,.

A. keep out     B.  take out

C. give out     D.  come out

in Paragraph 3 refers to  .

From my second grade on, there was one event I feared every year: the piano recital(独奏会).A recital 5 I had to practise a boring piece of music and per?form before strangers. Each year I 6 ask my father if I could skip the recital "just this once". And each year he'd shake his head, muttering (喃咕) 7 about building self-confidence and working towards a 8  .

So it was with really great 9 that I stood in church one recent Sunday, video camera in hand, and 10  my 68-year-old father sweating in his shirt 11  rising to play the piano in his very first recital.

My father had longed to play music since child?hood, but his family was poor and couldn't 12 lessons. He could have gone on regretting it, 13 too many of us do. But though he was rooted in his past, he wasn't 14 there. When he retired three years ago, he 15 his church music director to take him as a student.

For a moment after my father sat down at the key?board, he 16 stared down at his fingers. Has he forgotten the 17 ? I worried, remembering those split seconds 18 ago when my mind would go blank and my fingers would 19 But then came the beauti?ful melody(旋律),from the 20 fingers that once baited(装馎于)my fishing lines. And I 21 he had been doing what music teachers always stress: 22 the music and pretend the others aren't there.

"I'm 23 of him for starting something new at his age," I said to my son Jeff.

"Yeah, and doing it so  24 Jeff added.

With his first recital, my father taught me more about courage and determination than all the words he used those 30-plus years ago.
