4.Teen drivers,be careful:Mum and Dad will soon know exactly how fast and how far you drove their car.And if you don't use the seat belt,don't even think about turning on the stereo,which allows you to listen to the music in your car.At the 2015New Year International Auto Show,American car maker Chevrolet gives your parents the power to check on your driving.
The"Teen Driver"feature(特征)appears with the 2016Chevrolet Malibu,a new type of mid-size car.
The system is very user-friendly.Parents with a private code(密码)can pull up a dashboard(仪表板)display,including highest speeds reached and distance driven.
Chevrolet isn't the first car maker to offer such technology.For example,Ford has a similar system called MyKey.But"the industry is moving toward highly developed controls over a teen's driving,"said Andy Gryc,a car technology expert.
Chevrolet said it is a safety need."Teens are more likely to be involved in a car accident,so many parents were asking us to bring something to market that can teach safe driving habits,"said Chevrolet communications manager Chad Lyons.
Teens are three times more likely to die in traffic accidents than grown-ups,according to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS).
Lyons thinks that a big problem is distracted(注意力分散)driving,such as texting or listening to music.
Teens with their friends in the car like to listen to loud music."If the driver and the front passenger aren't wearing their seat belts,the stereo won't turn on,"said Lyons."Parents can also control the level of sound."
If a teen driver goes beyond a certain speed,the car can speak to the driver,warning them of their speed.
"It's a way for parents to feel safe while they're not in the car with their teen,"Lyons said.
25.MyKey is similar to the"Teen Driver"feature because of itsA.
A.purpose B.shape C.quality D.type
26.How can the feature prevent distracted driving?C
A.By telling teens about their speed.
B.By stopping drivers from texting.
C.By avoiding loud music in the car.
D.By asking people to use seat belts.
27.What is the text mainly about?A
A.A new technology for road safety.
B.An international car show for teens.
C.An unusual kind of stereo safety system.
D.A new type of fast-speed car.
