Question

阅读理解。

     New York State has passed the USA's first state law banning (禁止) motorists talking on cell phones.
The ban will begin on November l, although drivers caught using cell phones will be given only warnings
during the first month.
     First-time violators (违法者) will face a $100 fine. A second-time call for a $200 fine and every violation
after that will cost $500. At least a dozen localities have established (制定) bans, starting in 1999; and 40 states
have had bans proposed but not passed.
     At least 23 countries, including Great Britain, Italy, Israel and Japan, ban drivers from using cell phones.
     There are about 115 million cell phones in use in the United States and more than 6 million in New York
State.
     "To think that I'm not going to use the cell phone when at the same time I can still use my laptop (手提电脑), I can still read a paper, and I can still change my pants while driving at 65 mph. I think there's just
something wrong," an official said.
     Other critics (批评) noted other things like eating, drinking coffee and doing make-up while driving. They
suggested that the ban include a broader range of things.
