Safety in the highway is not totally out of our hands. Here are four ways we can do to protect our?selves when we travel.
10 People in small cars are injured more often and more severely than people travelling in large cars. Factories of small cars are strengthening their products' safety, which helps. But the mix of large cars and small cars on the road is the main reason of the problem.
Being thrown into glass and metal car parts, or be?ing thrown from the car can really hurt or even kill you.
11 The safety belt's main purpose is to pull you back if your car has a sudden crash with another Vehicle or object, or if it rolls over. A belt can reduce the chance of deadly injury by 45 % and the chance of serious injury by 50%.
Air bags are important. More than half of all new cars sold have air bags. Air bags provide protection in frontal crashes—the type of crash that kills the most drivers―when they are also wearing safety belts. Most people are demanding air bags in the cars they buy.
12 Effective as they are, they can't take the place of safety belts.
Drunk driving crashes are less likely to happen if you don't drink. 13 Many people have realized that drunk driving can lead to death and injury, prison time and other results. There are movements to strengthen penalties(處罰)for drinking and driving.
A. How to drive safely?
B. You are safer in a large car.
C. How to protect ourselves in the highway?
D. Air bags are not installed in all cars.
E. That's why safety belts should be worn.
F. Drunk driving is the most serious problem.
G. But the protection provided by air bags is limited in side or rear crashes.
C 根據(jù)下文的"Safety in the highway is not totally out of our hands."可推知,本文的主題是講如何在高速公路上確保自身安全,故選C項(xiàng)。
B 根據(jù)下文的"People in small cars are injured more often and more severely than people travelling in large cars.,,可知, 在大車(chē)上安全系數(shù)要髙些,故選B項(xiàng)。
E 根據(jù)上文的"Being thrown into glass and metal car parts, or being thrown from the car can really hurt or even kill you."可知,此處上下句表示邏輯上的因果關(guān)系,表示結(jié)論,故選E項(xiàng)。
G 承接上文的"Air bags are important.",并根據(jù)下文的"Effective as they are, they can't take the place of safety belts."可推知,安全氣囊的作用還是有限的,故選G項(xiàng)。
F 根據(jù)下文的"Many people have realized that drunk driv?ing can lead to death and injury, prison time and other results."可知,酒后駕車(chē)后果很?chē)?yán)重,故選F項(xiàng)。

If you are sending a text message, watching TV or listening to the radio, you may stop and give this your full attention. Multitasking shrinks (使..... 萎縮)the brain? research suggests.
A study found that men and women who frequently used several types of technology at the same time had less grey matter in a key part of the brain. University of Sussex re?searchers said, " Using mobile phones, laptops and other media devices simultaneously could be changing the structure of our brains."
Worryingly, the part of the brain that shrinks is involved in processing emotion. The finding follows research which has linked multitasking with a shortened attention span, de?pression ,anxiety and lower grades at school.
The researchers began by asking 75 healthy men and women how often they divided their attention between differ?ent types of technology. This could mean sending a text mes?sage while listening to music and checking e-mail, or speaking on the phone while watching TV and surfing the Internet. The volunteers were then given brain scans which showed they had less grey matter in a region called the anterior cingu-late cortex (ACC)(前扣帶皮層).Scientists have proved that brain structure can be changed on exposure to fresh environ?ments and experience.
Other studies have shown that training—such as learning to play magic tricks or taxi drivers' learning the map of Lon?don―can increase grey matter densities (密度)in certain parts.
Experts have also warned of the harmful impact technol?ogy can have on our memory and attention span. The Univer?sity of California team conducted a survey of more than 18,000 people aged between 18 and 99, and found 20% had problems with memory. Researchers were shocked greatly by the 14 % of 18 to 39-year-old people who also worried about their memories.
Multitasking may shorten attention span, making it harder to focus and form memories, the researchers said, adding that youngsters may be particularly affected by stress.
1. The underlined word " simultaneously" in Paragraph 2
means "____________ ,"
A. on one's own B. at no time
C. at the same time D. by accident
2. All of the following are possible effects of multitasking EXCEPT__________ .
A. saving time
B. a shortened attention span
C. lower grades at school
D. depression and anxiety
3. What can increase grey matter densities?
A. Sending a text message while listening to music.
B. Students' doing their homework.
C. Taxi drivers' learning the map of London.
D. Speaking on the phone while watching TV.
4.Which of the following can be the best title of this pas?sage?
A. Media multitasking is becoming more popular
B. Multitasking shrinks the brain
C. Multitasking may shorten attention span
D. People are worried about their memories

For foreigners, entering a public toilet inChinacan be a horrifying experience. In the 1990s, a third of all complaints to tourism officials in Beijing concerned the design, and the bad smell of public toilets.
China has battled smelly toilets for at least 2 , 000 years. In the Kingdom of Wei (220—265AD) , visitors to the palace bathrooms would find boxes to cover their noses and ward off unpleasant smells. Both flushing (沖水)toilets and toilet paper were invented in China, however? only for the use of the emperor.
Today Chinese scientists have claimed victory in their battle to improve public restrooms, introducing a bacterial spray that can almost eliminate the bad smell. First, a set of six types of bacteria work to break down the smelly compounds and then a perfume made from or?ange skin lightly scents(使芳香)the air. The "smell-free toilet" study from the Chinese Academy of Sciences was declared the "ultimate" cure to an "urgent" national issue.
"Five scientists have worked on this from 2011 to the beginning of this year," said Dr Yan Zhiying, a bacteriolo?gist with the Academy's Chengdu Institute of Biology, adding that they had spent £140, 000 on the project.
"Some local government officials here visited a sew?age (污水 ) plant and saw that the treatment technology had come from Japan. They wanted a home-grown solu?tion so they asked us to work on it," he added. "We ob?tained bacteria from all types of waste from humans, pigs, chicken and ducks, and we tested our compounds one by one," he said. "The smells coming out of public toilets, or trash cans, are made up of more than 160 dif?ferent compounds," he explained, adding that their bac?teria spray can change and absorb many of them.
He boasted that the Chinese formula(配方),which costs only around £5 per litre, has no side effects and can be used to remove any bad smell.
1.The underlined words "ward off" in Paragraph 2 can be replaced by " ,,.
A. keep out B. take out
C. give out D. come out
2.The underlined phrase "an ' urgent' national issue"
in Paragraph 3 refers to .
A. the treatment of sewage
B.a horrifying experience
C.the bad smell of public toilets
D.160 smelly compounds
3.Which has not been mentioned as an advantage of the bacteria spray?
A.Low price.
B.No side effects.
C.Removing bad smells.
D.Beautiful design.
4.Which can we infer after the spray is used in toilets inChina?
A.People needn't use flushing toilets.
B.A perfume is given off in the air.
C.Tourists' complaints will be reduced.
D.Bacteria break down smelly compounds.

From my second grade on, there was one event I feared every year: the piano recital(獨(dú)奏會(huì)).A recital 5 I had to practise a boring piece of music and per?form before strangers. Each year I 6 ask my father if I could skip the recital "just this once". And each year he'd shake his head, muttering (喃咕) 7 about building self-confidence and working towards a 8 .
So it was with really great 9 that I stood in church one recent Sunday, video camera in hand, and 10 my 68-year-old father sweating in his shirt 11 rising to play the piano in his very first recital.
My father had longed to play music since child?hood, but his family was poor and couldn't 12 lessons. He could have gone on regretting it, 13 too many of us do.

For a moment after my father sat down at the key?board, he 16 stared down at his fingers. Has he forgotten the 17 ?

"I'm 23 of him for starting something new at his age," I said to my son Jeff.
"Yeah, and doing it so 24 Jeff added.
With his first recital, my father taught me more about courage and determination than all the words he used those 30-plus years ago.
