Almost one in five drivers had dozed off behind the wheel, a shocking news report had showed. Of those who were dozing off, 29% have done so with their cars speeding at 70 miles per hour. The report also found a quarter of men have fallen asleep while driving, making it almost twice as many as women.

The Safety on Wheel Report, by Post Office Insurance, also looked at how often tiredness or a lack of concentration caused accidents. Three in ten drivers have experienced an accident, from passing a walker crossing to hitting another vehicle, because of a lack of concentration. Meanwhile, almost half (49%) of UK drivers have driven when they do not concentrate.

Paul Havenhand, head of insurance at Post Office, said, “ When tiredness strikes, drivers should avoid the roads.” There is no measurement for tired driving, unlike driving under the influence of alcohol, yet it could result in an equally dangerous accident.

Drivers are advised to take a 15-minute break from driving every two hours. However, a third (36%) are so eager to reach their destination that they will ignore feelings of tiredness. What’s more, almost one in five (18%) will drive for longer than four hours without a break, while 6% carry on for up to 6 hours. Just over a quarter (27%) choose a quick stop to buy a cup of coffee, which is a very popular way for drivers to get rid of tiredness, and only 17% stop to have a rest until they feel energetic again. Mr. Havenhand added, “Drivers should plan ahead and rest before starting a long journey; besides, they can take regular breaks to recharge their batteries while on road; in some cases, if they do feel too tired to concentrate on the roads, they could consider an alternative means of transport.”

1.Which suggestion is NOT put forward by Mr. Havenhand?

A. Preparing well for a long journey and taking a complete rest before it.

B. Having breaks regularly in order to feel refreshed.

C Choosing another method of transport instead.

D. Choosing a quick stop to grab something to eat.

2.What does the underlined phrase “recharging their batteries” in the last paragraph mean?

A. Put a new supply of electricity into their batteries.

B. Get back their energy by resting for a while

C. Accuse them of stealing batteries

D. Pay twice more money for their batteries

3.It is implied in the last paragraph that for drivers the most popular cure for tiredness is _____.

A. drinking coffee

B. talking with others

C. ignoring feelings of tiredness

D. singing songs

4.What’s the purpose of the writer in writing this passage?

A. To warn people of the danger of tired driving

B. To tell people to be careful when walking on the street

C. To inform people of the importance of a good rest

D. To introduce some dangers while driving on the roads

Many studies have shown that the company of pets can help lower blood pressure and raise chances of recovering from a heart attack, reduce loneliness and help control body weight.

Any pet owner will tell you how much joy a pet brings. For some, an animal provides more comfort than a husband/wife. A 2002 study by Karen Allen of the State University of New York measured stress levels and blood pressure in people (half of them were pet owners) while they performed 5 minutes of mental arithmetic (算术) or held a hand in ice water. People completed the tasks alone, with a husband/wife, a close friend or with a pet. People with pets did it best. Those tested with their animal friends had smaller change in blood pressure and returned most quickly to baseline heart rates. With pets in the room, people also made fewer math mistakes than when doing in front of other companions. It seems that people feel more relaxed around pets, says Allen, who thinks it may be because pets don’t judge.

A study reported last fall suggests that having a pet dog may also have an effect on your body weight. Researchers at Northwestern Memorial Hospital spent a year studying two groups of fat people who were put on a diet-and-exercise program: one group with pet dogs, and the other without. On average,dog owners lost about 11 pounds,or 5% of their body weight; While those without dogs lost about 8 pounds. The pet owners, said researchers, got more exercise overall (mostly with their dogs) and found it worth doing.

1.What does the text mainly discuss?

A. People’s opinions of keeping pets.

B. How pets help people calm down.

C. What pets bring to their owners.

D. Pets can help in medical research.

2.We learn from the text that a person with heart disease has a better chance of getting well if_________.

A. he has a pet companion

B. he has less stress of work

C. he often dose mental arithmetic

D. he is taken care of by his family

3.According to Allen, why did the people do better with pets around?

A. They are less nervous.

B. They are in higher spirits.

C. They become more patient.

D. They have lower blood pressure.

4.The research mentioned in the last paragraph suggests that_________.

A. people with dogs did more exercise

B. dogs lost the same weight as people did

C. dogs liked exercise much more than people did

D. people without dogs found the program unhelpful
