Although new laws have been passed in some American states to cut down on Distracted(分心的) driving , many accidents and deaths were still related with it, especially using cell phones while driving.Recently the Obama administration is considering disabling cell phones in cars aiming to cut down cell-phone-related road deaths.
Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood, the nation's anti-distracted-driving supporter, said in an interview on November 18 that federal officials are looking at technology to disable cell phones inside cars.
"I think it will be done," LaHood said."I think the technology is there and I think you're going to see the technology become adaptable in automobiles to disable these cell phones- We need to do a lot more if we were going to save lives."
Also on Thursday, the transportation government started a new "Faces of Distracted Driving" video campaign that features people who have been killed or lost their loved ones because of inattentive drivers.The video features heartbreaking stories of children killed, in crashes because of phoning or text messaging, and new videos are expected to be added every few weeks.
A driver is four times more likely to crash while using a mobile phone.More than 5,500 people were killed last year by distracted drivers, and another 500,000 were injured.LaHood has said it is never safe to talk on a cell phone while driving, hands-free or not, because it can really cause distraction.
Incidentally, a lot of people seem to agree with this viewpoint—a new research shows nearly two-thirds of Americans support a national ban on the use of cell phones while driving, even if the driver is using a hands-free device(装置).But the research didn't ask how people feel about government-issued mobile phone scramblers or other disabling devices.
63.We can learn from the text that Ray LaHood _____.
A.is in charge of the invention of the technology
B.is strongly for the use of the technology in cars
C.thinks it's easy and practical to invent the technology
D.thinks it's unnecessary to use cell phone while driving
64.The "Faces of Distracted Driving" video campaign aims to _____.
A.find out the real drivers who caused the accidents
B.show that most of the victims in car crashes are children
C.make the public aware of the terrible results of distracted driving
D.call on drivers to buy the new device which disables cell phones in cars
65.In the last paragraph, the "mobile phone scramblers" are probably _____.
A.a kind of disabling devices
B.a kind of hands-free devices
C.a new kind of cell phones
D.new devices to help text messaging
66.We can infer from me text that _____.
A.most people realize the harmfulness of distracted driving
B.the disabling devices in cars will be widely used if it is free
C.most people would like to choose hands-free devices while driving
D.the writer is not sure whether disabling devices will be accepted by the drivers

It was 4 o'clock in the morning,when I received the phone call.
“This is the emergency room calling and your son was just 36 in with severe burns on his face,neck and arms.We have called for a(n) 37 and are going to fly him to the burn unit in Seattle.”Seattle was 350 miles from his college,so we knew immediately this was 38 . The doctor described the 39 ,which caused the burns.At 6 am,our son and his friends decided to barbecue hamburgers in the courtyard of their apartment.When they 40 the charcoal(木炭),it burst into flames because they had sprayed too much gasoline (petrol).The flames 41 my son’s shirt tail and shot from his waist to well over his head.
42 ,one of the boys was quick—minded,grasped my son,and 43 him on the grass.While it saved his life,it was not 44 to save him from severe burns and the terrible scars.
After he 45 from the treatments,the doctors told him they would not do plastic surgery(整容)for 6 months 46 it takes that long for the skin to stop shrinking and wrinkling.So,he had to return to college with scars typical of severe burns.
When I was a child , my mother told my sister,who had a 10-inch very 47 scar on her arm,“Nancy,if you ignore the scar,other people will ignore it.It does not mean they will not 48 it,but it means it will not matter to them if it does not matter to you.”I 49 this wisdom on to my son.He took my advice to 50 and returned to school with his head held high--glad he was alive.
By the end of the six—month waiting period,he decided that the scars did not 51 .So he made the 52 to give up any plastic surgery .We all have “scars” that we believe 53 people to keep away from us.And we spend a lot of time thinking that if only we looked differently,or dressed differently,people would like us better. But you see,people will only judge you by your looks,or your clothes,if you are judging yourself by these same 54 standards.Put your imperfections out of your mind and concentrate on what you value 55 yourself,and your beauty will shine through.

Last weekend, my kids along with few other kids from the neighborhood volunteered to help me wash my car. My 10-year-old daughter came up with the idea of 36 other people’s cars as well. It was pretty 37 outside and I had no plans to 38 being in the bright sun. She 39 wanted to give lemonade(柠檬汽水)to passers-by for free. I had seen little kids 40 and sell fresh lemonade for a small cost but not free. Although I felt 41 , I decided to help her.
42 she asked me, “What if we 43 this a smile car wash?” I couldn’t hold back my tears and 44 her and the other kids to go outside the house and come up with 45 ideas. While I kept myself busy in drying the car, the gang walked up to me with a(n) 46 with beautiful images of smiles. They had “Free Car Wash” written on it and the 47 of their exercise was “smile”. It was pretty neat to see a team of kids ranging 5-11 years with the 48 to do something for others.
All that seemed 49 and came right from their heart. Nothing seemed to 50 to them: their playtime, the heat outside—they just wanted to 51 others and do something nice in the community!
I helped them make some fresh lemonade and brought out some additional 52 to help clean cars. Passers-by were 53 and one even shouted back to them saying “God Bless You, my kids…” One of them even tried giving them 5 dollars, which they refused. A pretty heartwarming 54 !
I feel blessed by being 55 by such wonderful and loving souls.

We were driving along the village of Simdara. I 36 to my right and saw an old shelter 20 meters from the side of the road that appeared to be filled with 37 .
“Would you mind 38 ?” I asked the driver Waris. “I think there is a(n) 39 .”
Waris laughed. “No, Greg, that’s actually a public toilet,” explained Waris and he kept 40 .
“But why are there so many kids? What are they doing there? We need to 41 ,” I insisted. The word caught Waris 42 and he stopped the car.
When we reached the shelter, to my surprise, it was 43 a toilet—or at least it had been at one time. The roof was gone now, and the four toilet pits (坑) had been 44 with old boards. There were 25 children between 4 and 5 years old, one 45 , and a wooden board against the wall.
Though having a tough learning environment, the students are quite 46 to chat with us about their class and curriculum (课程). After about ten minutes, the teacher 47 if we might like to see “the rest of the school”. We 48 and followed her up the hill.
Just over the top of the hill, there was an old tent. It was very 49 inside because nearly 100 students were packed like sardines (沙丁鱼). These students were a little 50 , fourth-, and sixth-graders, and all of them were sitting on the ground. 51 the teacher, they were doing extremely well — 52 most of them had no books, paper or even pencils.
We were forced to 53 to catch our plane. We were all 54 and decided to collect money to build a school for these children who had a hunger for 55 .
