题目内容
Everyone gets sick of hearing. “Put on your seat belt!”But it’s good advice. People who wear seat belts are 45 percent less likely to be killed while riding in the front seat of a car.
The US government wants more seat belt laws. It says children aged 4 to 15 are often killed in car accidents. In 2005, there were 1,627 children aged 4 to 15 killed in car accidents. More than 1,000 of those children were not wearing seat belts. If they had been wearing seat belts, 500 of those children could be alive today.
These children are too old to be in car seats, but they often sit in the back seat. Seat belt laws in many states, including Wisconsin, only require people in the front seat to wear seat belts. Children who aren’t wearing seat belts can be thrown from the car. The risk of dying in an accident is three times greater if the person is thrown from the car.
New laws could require children aged 4 to 8 to be in booster seats in the car. Booster seats help seat belts fit children properly. Right now, only 5 percent of children aged 4 to 8 are seated in booster seats.
While parents have the choice of whether wearing seat belts or not, children are too young to make that choice. Even if you decide not to wear a seat belt, make sure you children are in seat belts and car seats. It’s the law and it will save their lives.

根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
“You do not need to be a rocket scientist.” Americans hear these words often.
People say them in schools, offices and factories. Broadcasters on radio and television use them.
How did the expression begin? No one seems to know it. 66 “It grew,” he says, “because rocket scientists probably are the most intelligent people around.”
Not everyone would agree. Some people might be considered more intelligent than rocket scientists. For example, a person who speaks and reads fifteen languages, or a medical doctor who operates on the brain. Still, many people would agree that there is something special about scientists who build rockets. 67
Moving pictures from before World War II showed a man named Buck Rogers landing on the planet Mars. He was a hero who could withdraw any enemy from outer space. The rocket scientist is a different kind of hero. 68
Rocket scientists, however, can have problems just like everyone else. A Washington rocket scientist tells about a launch that was postponed many, many times. Finally, everything seemed right. Mechanical failures had been repaired. The weather was good. The scientists had planned that part of the rocket would fall into the ocean after the launch. All ships and boats within many kilometers of the danger area had been warned. But in the last few seconds a small boat entered the area. 69
70 One scientist said, "As a child I loved to build rockets. Now I am grown. I still love to build rockets. And now I get paid for it."
A.he or she makes space travel possible. |
B.It’s dangerous for rocket scientists to build rockets. |
C.Maybe it has something to do with the mystery of space travel. |
D.When the work goes well, most rocket scientists enjoy their jobs. |
E. Have you ever heard of the space travel?
F. But an official of the American space agency, NASA, says the expression just grew.
G. Once again, the launch was put off.
