  Maybe ten?year?old Elizabeth put it best when she said to her father,“But,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 belts 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 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?belts “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 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 30 miles per hour (mph).

  Truth: When two cars traveling at 30 mph hit each other,an unbelted driver would meet the windshield with a force equal to diving head first into the ground from a height of 10 metres.

1.Why did Elizabeth say to her father,“But,Dad,you can’t be healthy if you’re dead”?

  A.He was driving at great speed.

  B.He was running across the street.

  C.He didn’t have his safety belt on.

  D.He didn’t take his medicine on time.

2.The reason father was in a hurry to get home was that he     .

  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 police

3.According to the text,to be “thrown clear” of a serious accident is very dangerous because

  you    .

  A.may be knocked down by other cars

  B.may get serious hurt thrown out of the car

  C.may find it impossible to get away from the seat

  D.may get caught in the car door

4.Some people prefer to drive without wearing a safety belt because they believe     .

  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

5.What is the advice given in the test?

  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.

  The policeman said,“Well, I guess so,”and started   6   something in his notebook.As minutes went by, he could see from the side view mirror, the policeman was   7   writing.When the man was wondering why he hadn't asked for his driving   8   so far, the policeman came to his window,   9   him a piece of paper, and returned to his car without saying a single word.The man wondered:how much was this   10   going to be?However, the man was   11   it was not a ticket at all and he began to   12  

  “I had a daughter who was   13   by a speeding car at the age of six by a speeding driver.He got a fine, a few months in   14  , and then was free, free to hug(拥抱)his two daughters.I only had one, and now I have to   15   until I get to heaven before I can hug her again.I have tried to   16   that man a thousand times, and I thought I had.Maybe I really did forgive(原谅)him.So pray(祈祷)for me, and be   17   when you drive again.My son is all I have been left with.”

  The man was completely   18   and could not move for the next few minutes.When finally he did, he drove   19  , even a few miles   20   the speed limit, praying for forgiveness.

  In my senior year, I   15   president of one of the school’s clubs, so I was very   16  .Many times I didn’t even have time to buy lunch.He served me by giving me his food as well as advice.He   17   out what he taught us to do:  18   others.

  The author William Arther Ward   19  :“The mediocre(平庸的)teacher tells.The good teacher explains.The superior teacher demonstrates.The great teacher   20  .”Thank you Profe, for inspiring me.
