Most cars have seat belts as part of their equipment. Seat belts protect drivers and passengers in case of accidents. They also reduce the effect of a crash on the body. 小题1: Worldwide, the devices have protected up to a million people.
America first recognized the invention of an automobile seat belt in 1849. The government gave a patent to an engineer named Edward Claghorn of New York City so that others would not copy his invention of a safety device.  小题2: This early version of safety belt was said to include hooks and other attachments for securing the person to a fixed object.
Other inventors followed with different versions of the seat belt.  小题3: It resulted from the work of a Swedish engineer, Nils Bohlin. His three-point, lap and shoulder seat belt first appeared on cars in Europe 50 years ago.
Nils Bohlin recognized that both the upper and lower body needed to be held securely in place. His invention contained a cloth strap（带子）that was placed across the chest and another strap across his hips.  小题4: 
Volvo was the first company to offer the modern seat belt to its cars. This company also provided use of Nils Bohlin's design to other car-makers.
 小题5: He received a gold medal from the Royal Swedish Academy of Engineering Sciences in 1995. He died in Sweden in 2002.
A．The Swedish engineer won many honors for his seat belt.
B．Claghorn was a promising young engineer with many honors all his life.
C．The design joined the straps next to the hip.
D．There are many companies adopting Nils Bohlin's invention of the belt.
E. Safety experts say that seat belts save thousands of lives a year in America alone.
F. But more than 100 years passed before the current seat belt was developed.
G. Claghorn called his invention a safety belt.

小题3:F
小题4:C
小题5:A

小题1: E
【试题解析】根据下一句Worldwide, the devices have protected up to a million people.在全世界范围安全带挽救了一百多万人的生命。故E项：在美国安全带挽救了成千上万的人的生命。先说安全带在美国的作用，然后再说安全带在全世界的作用。
小题2: G
【试题解析】根据前面一句The government gave a patent to an engineer named Edward Claghorn of New York City so that others would not copy his invention of a safety device.这一句交代安全带的发明者申请了专利，接下来这一句应该是发明者对这一发明的命名。故G项符合上下文。
小题3: F
【试题解析】根据前一句Other inventors followed with different versions of the seat belt.可知其他的发明者有不同版本的安全带的式样，接着这一句应该叙述现在的安全带的式样的确定。故F项：100多年过去了，现在安全带的式样被确定下来了。
小题4: C
【试题解析】根据前一句His invention contained a cloth strap（带子）that was placed across the chest and another strap across his hips可知是在叙述现在的安全带的式样，C项The design joined the straps next to the hip.与上下文相符。
小题5: A
【试题解析】根据下一句He received a gold medal from the Royal Swedish Academy of Engineering Sciences in 1995.可知安全带的发明者获得了很多荣誉，包括1995年的the Royal Swedish Academy of Engineering Sciences。故A项符合上下文。

I had an experience once which taught me something about the ways people made a bad situation worse by blaming themselves. One January, I officiated(主持) at two funerals for two elderly women. 小题1:. At the first home, the son of the deceased(已故) woman said, “If only I had sent my mother to Florida and gotten her out of this cold and snow, she would be alive today. It’s my fault that she died.” At the second home, the son said, “If only I had not insisted her going to Florida, she would be alive today.  小题2: . It is my fault.”
When things don’t turn out as we would like them to, we tend to assume that had we done things differently, the story would have had a happier ending. Any time there is a death, the survivors will feel guilty. Because the course of action they took turned out bad, they believe that the opposite course, for example, keeping mother at home, would have turned out better.     小题3: 
There seem to be elements involved in our readiness to feel guilty. The first lies in our belief that the world makes sense---there is a reason for everything that happens. 
The second is the thought that we are the cause of what happens, especially the bad things that happen.小题4:.
