11.Maybe ten-year-old Elizabeth put it best when she said to her father,"Bu,Dad,you can't be healthy if you're dead."
Dad,in a hurry to get home before dark so he could go for a run,had forgotten to wear his safety belt--a mistake 75% of US population make every day.The big question is why.
There have been many myths about safety belt ever since their first appearance in cars some forty years ago.The following are three of the most common.
Myth Number One It's best to be"thrown clear"of a serious accident.
Truth:Sorry,but any accident serious enough to"throw you clear"is able going to be serious enough to give you a very bad landing.And chances are you'll have traveled through a windshield (挡风玻璃)or door to do it.Studies show that chances of dying after a car accident are twenty-five times in cases where people are"thrown clear".
Myth Number Two:Safety-bets"trap"people in cars that are burning or sinking in water.
Truth:Sorry again,but studies show that people knocked unconscious (昏迷) due to not wearing safety belts have a greater chance of dying in these accidents.People wearing safety belts are usually protected to the point of having in these accidents.People wearing safety belts are usually protected to the point of having a clear head to free themselves from such dangerous situation,not to be trapped in them.
Myth Number Three:Safety belts aren't needed at speeds of less than 30miles per hour (mph).
Truth:When two cars traveling at 30mph hit each other,an unbelted driver would meet the windshield with a force equal to diving headfirst into the ground from a height of 10metres.

25.The reason why father was in a hurry to get home was that heC.
A.wasn't feeling very well
B.hated to drive in the dark
C.wanted to take some exercise
D.didn't want to be caught by the people
26.Some people prefer to drive without wearing a safety belt because they believeA.
A.the belt prevents them from escaping in an accident
B.they will be unable to think clearly in an accident
C.they will be caught when help comes
D.cars catch fire easily
27.What is the advice given in the test?C
A.Never drive faster than 30 miles an hour.
B.Try your best to save yourself in a car accident.
C.Never forget to wear the safety belt while driving.
D.Drive slowly while you're not wearing a safety belt.

3.We've reached a strange-some would say unusual-point.While fighting world hunger continues to be the matter of vital importance according to a recent report from the World Health Organization (WHO),more people now die from being overweight,or say,from being extremely fat,than from being underweight.It's the good life that's more likely to kill us these days.
Worse,nearly l8million children under the age of five around the world are estimated to be overweight.What's going on?
We really don't have many excuses for our weight problems.The dangers of the problem have been drilled into us by public-health campaigns since 2001 and the message is getting through-up to a point.
In the 1970s,Finland,for example,had the highest rate of heart disease in the world and being overweight was its main cause.Not any more.A public-health campaign has greatly reduced the number of heart disease deaths by 80per cent over the past three decades.
Maybe that explains why the percentage of people in Finland taking diet pills doubled between 2001and 2005,and doctors even offer surgery of removing fat inside and change the shape of the body.That has become a sort of fashion.No wonder it ranks as the world's most body-conscious country.
We know what we should be doing to lose weight-but actually doing it is another matter.By far the most popular excuse is not taking enough exercise.More than half of us admit we lack willpower.
Others blame good food.They say:it's just too inviting and it makes them overeat.Still others lay the blame on the Americans,complaining that pounds have piled on thanks to eating too much American-style fast food.
Some also blame their parents-their genes.But unfortunately,the parents are wronged because they're normal in shape,or rather slim.
It's a similar story around the world,although people are relatively unlikely to have tried to lose weight.Parents are eager to see their kids shape up.Do as I say-not as I do.

28.What is the"strange"point mentioned in the first sentence?A
A.The good life is a greater risk than the bad life.
B.Starvation is taking more people's lives in the world.
C.WHO report shows people's unawareness of food safety.
D.Overweight issue remains unresolved despite WHO's efforts.
29.Why does the author think that people have no excuse for being overweight?C
A.A lot of effective diet pills are available.
B.Body image has nothing to do with good food.
C.They have been made fully aware of its dangers.
D.There are too many overweight people in the world.
30.The example of Finland is used to illustrateC.
A.the cause of heart disease
B.the fashion of body shaping
C.the effectiveness of a campaign
D.the history of a body-conscious country
31.Which would be the best title for the passage?A
A.Actions or Excuses?
B.Overweight or Underweight?
C.WHO in a Dilemma
D.No Longer Dying of Hunger.
