第1题

More than 30,000 drivers and front seat passengers are killed or seriously injured each ye

ar. At a speed of only 30 miles per hour it is the same as falling from a third-floor window. Wearing a seat belt saves lives; it reduces your chance of death or serious injury by more than half.

Therefore drivers or front seat passengers over 14 in most vehicles must wear a seat belt. If you do not, you could be fined up to 50. It will not be up to the drivers to make sure you wear your belt. But it will be the driver' s responsibility to make sure that children under 14 do not ride in the front unless they are wearing a seat belt of some kind.

However, you do not have to wear a seat belt if you are reversing your vehicle; or you are making a local delivery or collection using a special vehicle; or if you have a valid medical certificate which excuses you from wearing it. Make sure these circumstances apply to you before you decide not to wear your seat belt. Remember you may be taken to court for not doing so, and you may be fined if you cannot prove to the court that you have been excused from wearing it.

Wearing a seat belt in a vehicle______.

A．reduces road accidents by more than half

B．saves lives while driving at a speed up to 30 miles per hour

C．reduces the death rate in traffic accidents

D．saves more than 15,000 lives each year

Listening to music while you drive can improve your reaction time and ability to avoid haz

ards, according to Australian psychologists. But turning your car stereo up to full volume could probably make you end up in an accident.

The performance of complex tasks can be affected if people are subjected to loud noise. The experience of pulling up at traffic lights alongside cars shaking with heavy bass (低音) prompted some psychologists in the University of Sydney to investigate whether loud music interferes with driving.

The psychologists recruited 60 men and women aged between 20 and 28 as subjects and tested them on simulated (模拟的) driving tasks under three noise conditions: silence, rock music played at a gentle 55 decibels, and the same music roaring out at 85 decibels. For 10 minutes the subjects sat in front of a monitor operating a steering wheel and foot pedals representing the brake and accelerator (加速器). They had to track a moving disk on screen, respond to traffic signals changing color, and brake in response to arrows that appeared without warning.

On the tracking task, there was no difference in performance under the three noise conditions. But under both the loud and quiet music conditions, the volunteers "braked" at a red light about 50 milliseconds sooner than they did when there was no rock music at all. That could mean a reduction in braking distance of a couple of meters potentially, the difference between life and death for a pedestrian (行人). When it came to the arrows that appeared across the visual field, the psychologists found that when the music was quiet, people responded faster to objects in their central field of vision by about 50 milliseconds. For those listening at 85 decibels, response times dropped by a further 50 milliseconds -- a whole tenth of a second faster than those "driving" with no music.

"But there is a trade-off (交换)", the psychologists told the European Congress of Psychology, "They lose the ability to scan the environment effectively." In responding to objects intruding on their peripheral(周围的)vision, people subjected to 85-decibel rock music were around 100 milliseconds slower than both the other groups. Since .some hazards -- such as children running into the road -- emerge from the periphery, drivers listening to loud music must be less safe as a result.

Which of the following is the best way to make a driving safer？

A．Loud music.

B．Quiet music.

C．Silence.

D．Full volume stereo music.

When they advise your kids to "get an education" if you want to raise your income, they te

ll you only half the truth. What they really mean is to get just enough education to provide manpower for your society, but not too much that proves an embarrassment to your society.

Get a high school diploma, at least. Without that, you are occupationally dead, unless your name happens to be George Bernard Shaw or Thomas Alva Edison and you can successfully drop out in elementary school.

Get a college degree, if possible. With a B. A. , you are on the launching pad (发射台). But now you have to start to put on the brakes. If you go for a master's degree, make sure it is a M. B. A. , and only from a first-rate university. Beyond this, the famous law of diminishing returns begins to take effect.

Do you know, for instance, that long-haul truck drivers earn more a year than full professors？ Yes, the average 1977 salary for those truckers was ＄ 24000, while the full professors managed to average just ＄ 23930.

A Ph. D. is the highest degree you can get, but except in a few specialized fields such as physics or chemistry, where the degree can quickly be turned to industrial or commercial purposes, you are facing a dim future. There are more Ph. D. s unemployed or underemployed in this country than in any other part of the world by far. Thousands of Ph. D. s are selling shoes, driving cabs, waiting on tables and filling out fruitless applications month after month.

You can equate the level of income with the level of education only so far. Far enough, that is, to make you useful to the gross national product, but not so far that nobody can turn much of a profit on you.

According to the writer, what the society expects of education is to turn out people who ______.

A．will not be a shame to the society

B．will become loyal citizens

C．can take care of themselves

D．can meet the demands as a source of manpower

1 The chief problem in coping with foreign motorists is not so much remembering that they

are different from yourself, but that they are enormously variable. Cross a frontier without adjusting and you can be in deep trouble.

2 One of the greatest gulfs separating the driving nations is the Atlantic Ocean. More precisely, it is the mental distance between the European and the American motorist, particularly the South American motorist. Compare, for example, an English driver at a set of traffic lights with a Brazilian.

3 Very rarely will an Englishman try to anticipate the green light by moving off prematurely. You will find the occasional sharpie who watches for the amber to come up on the adjacent set of lights. However, he will not go until he receives the lawful signal. Brazilians view the thing quite differently. If, in fact, they see traffic lights at all, they regard them as a kind of roadside decoration.

4 The natives of North America are much more disciplined. They demonstrate this in their addiction to driving in one lane and sticking to it—even if it means settling behind some great truck for many miles.

5 To prevent other drivers from falling into reckless ways, American motorists try always to stay close behind the vehicle in front, which can make it impossible, when all the vehicles are moving at about 55 mph, to make a real lane change. European visitors are constantly falling into this trap. They return to the Old World still flapping their arms in frustration because while driving in the States in their car they kept failing to get off the highway when they wanted to and were swept along to the next city.

6 However, one nation above all others lives scrupulously by its traffic regulations--the Swiss. In Switzerland, if you were simply to anticipate a traffic light, the chances are that the motorist behind you would take your number and report you to the police. What is more, the police would visit you; and you would be convicted.

7 The Swiss take their rules Of the road so seriously that a driver can be ordered to appear in court and charged for speeding on hearsay alone, and very likely found guilty. There are slight regional variations among the French, German and Italian speaking areas,but it is generally safe to assume that any car bearing a CH sticker will be driven with a high degree of discipline.

The fact that the Brazilians regard traffic lights as a kind of roadside decoration suggests that

A．traffic lights are part of street scenery.

B．they simply ignore traffic lights.

C．they want to put them at roadsides.

D．there are very few traffic lights.

In a survey conducted by research firm Harris Interactive, 71% of Americans said that spen

ding extra money on travel during the holiday season is worthwhile--so long as it affords them time with family and friends. But just because traveling may be the right thing to do, that doesn't mean it has to be the expensive thing to do. Traveling involves many hidden costs that, once you're aware of them, are easy to spot--and even easier to eliminate.

To start, consider transportation fees. For example, if you're driving, fill up the gas tank before traveling on the highway, where it's much costlier, says Clarky Davis, a personal finance expert. And make sure your car is in good condition by checking your heating vents, keeping up with routine maintenance and ensuring your tires are properly inflated, all of which help the ear achieve favorable fuel economy. Furthermore, not only does a tow car(救援车) cause inconvenience; it also means extra costs.

For those opting to fly, first, be aware of how much it costs to check a bag. Most airlines are charging for every checked bag by weight, but prices vary from carrier to carrier. If you can manage to pack everything into a carry-on, you'll save at least $15. Brooke Ferencsik, a travel expert, suggests considering secondary airports when booking your flight. These airports often are less crowded and frequently offer cheaper tickets.

And when it comes to your actual destination, don't assume that hotels are going to cut back on fees simply because they're desperate to draw customers. "They won't be adding or increasing fees, but they won't be decreasing them either," says Ferencsik. The best defense against extra fees is to read about the hotel's rates online, before you make a reservation. "Be aware of surcharges for everything from housekeeping to groundskeeping to use of the in-room safe," says Ferenesik. Some hotels even install a sensor(传感器) within the mini bar, charging guests for simply touching the items, let alone eating or drinking them.

"From airlines to hotels to rental ears, they've all got hidden fees you need to be aware of," says Ferencsik. "Do your homework and ask questions."

It is found that 71% of Americans regard it as worthwhile to______.

A．spend money on souvenirs while traveling with family and friends

B．accept hidden costs while traveling with family and friends

C．travel with family and friends during the holiday season

D．travel with family and friends so as to please them

听力原文：M: I see on your resume that you worked as a manager of a store called "Computer

Country". Could you tell me a little more about your responsibilities there？

W: Sure. I was responsible for overseeing about 30 employees. I did all of the ordering for the store, and I kept track of the inventory.

M: What was the most difficult part of your job？

W: Probably handling angry customers. We didn't have them very often, but when we did, I needed to make sure they were well taken care of. After all, the customer is always right.

M: That's how we feel here too. How long did you work there？

W: I was there for three and a half years. I left the company last month.

M: And why did you leave？

W: My husband has been transferred to Boston. And I understand your company has an opening there too.

M: Yes, that's right. We do. But the position won't start until early next month. Would that be a problem for you？

M: That sounds nice. So tell me, why are you interested in this particular position？

W: I know that your company has a great reputation, and a wonderful product. I've thought many times that I would like to be a part of it. When I heard about the opening in Boston, I jumped to the opportunity.

M: Well I'm glad you did.

If you own a car, you are probably considering buying some kind of car insurance(保险)
