Mr Black is a football fan. Every morning he goes to work by train. As he has a long trip, he always buys a newspaper. It helps to make the time pass more quickly. One Wednesday morning, Mr Black turned the important football matches. He knew the Football World Cup would be held in his city soon. He decided to go to watch the football game.

While Mr Black was excited to be at the Football World Cup, he was disappointed(失望的)at the location of his seat. Peering(仔细看)across the stadium through his telescope(望远镜)he saw an empty seat far away and made his way there. Mr Black asked the man in the next seat, “May I sit here?” “Sure,” the man replied. “This was my wife’s seat. She was a super football fan, and we used to come to the games together all the time until she passed away.”

“I am sorry for your loss,” Mr Black said. “But I am curious(好奇的). Why didn’t you give the extra(多余的) ticket to a friend or a relative?” The man replied, “They are all at the funeral(葬礼).”

14.Last year in the UK at least 45people died and 900more were injured in car accidents where drivers were using their mobile phones.Yet many people continue to use them while driving even though it's dangerous.
     Research has shown that it is difficult to concentrate 0n driving and talking at the same time.It can even be more dangerous than driving after drinking too much.A recent study found that when drivers were talking on their mobile phones,their stopping times were 30percent slower than when they had drunk too much-and nearly 50percent slower than when they were driving normally.It also found that drivers talking on mobile phones were less able to control their cars than drunk drivers.
     And talking isn't even the most serious problem,texting is.Unbelievably,another recent study reported that 22% of adults admitted they had sent a text message while driving at least once in the past month.An average text message takes 90seconds to write and send.That means for one and a half minutes a driver is looking at their phone's screen and not at the road.The arrival of new smart phones such as the iPhone will only make matters worse as they will allow users to do more things than ever before.
    Using a mobile phone while driving puts others'lives at risk.No matter how well we drive,if another driver is not being professional or careful,we are put in danger by their actions.Such drivers are selfish,careless and should have their driving licences(驾照)cancelled.
     There is no doubt that mobile phones call be fun and are extremely useful,especially when you're in trouble.But there is no need to use them while driving.Just wait until you stop or you will probably get into trouble of your own.
