Car crashes are the leading cause of injury and death among U.S. children, and though most

of us now think of car seats as standard baby equipment, about half of all children under the age of four who died in vehicle accidents last year were not restrained. It is calculated that only about two-thirds of children ages five to fifteen buckle their seat belts.

Moreover, the traffic-safety agency estimates that even among parents who always strap their children in, 85% are not doing it properly. They often don't know where best to place the kids, don't use the proper restraint for their age and weight, or don't install the safety seats properly. Despite the reports about front seats collapsing onto back seats when certain car models get in accidents, the safest place in the car for any child up to the age of 12 is still the back seat. Babies up to 9 kg and one year old should ride in rear-Facing infant seats.

Never place a child under age 12 in the front seat with a working passenger-side air bag. These devices are discharged at 320 km/h and can be triggered by low-speed fender benders. They have killed 77 kids in the U.S. since 1993. If you must place a child in front, make sure the paasengar-side bag is switched off.

Children over age one should ride in forward-facing safety seats with a five-point harness system. A child who weighs at least 18 kg or at least 1m high can graduate to a booster seat that elevates her so that the standard shoulder and lap belt fits properly.x

What does the author mainly discuss in this passage?

A.How to avoid car crash.

B.How to design safer baby equipment.

C.How to educate children properly.

D.How to properly secure children in the ear.

阅读理解:阅读下面的短文,根据文章内容从A、B、C三个选项中选出一个最佳选项。

Car crashes are the top killer of American teenagers. Most of the crashes result from distracted driving—not paying attention to the road.

Ryan Didone was a fifteen-year-old passenger in a car that hit a tree. He was one of the nation's more than thirty thousand victims of traffic crashes in 2008. Nearly four thousand deaths, about twelve percent involved drivers age fifteen to twenty.

Ryan's father, Thomas Didone, is a police captain in Marylan. "It was an inexperienced, immature driver driving at night with a carload of kids. He was distracted, he was going too fast, and it ended up causing one death and some seriously injured." He shares the story of his son's death to help educate teens and their families about distracted driving.

Jim Jennings from the Allstate Insurance Company says the number one cause of distracted-driving accidents is the mobile phone. He says talking on the phone or reaching for it is like drinking four beers and driving. "If you're texting while driving, you are twenty-three times more likely to get into an accident than somebody who isn't."

Government and private groups are using public service announcements and events to bring more attention to the problem. For example, the insurance industry recently held a safety event for teen drivers. At first, nineteen-year-old Kevin Schumann easily avoided large, inflatable dolls thrown in front of the car to represent children. He also avoided orange cones representing the edge of the road. Then, as part of the test, he started texting. He hit several cones and at least one doll. "That's what really opened up the experience for me to prove how bad it is to really text and drive."

Debbie Pickford of Allstate Insurance says teens are especially at risk from distracted driving —and not just because they lack experience on the roads. "According to the research, teens don't really have fully developed brains until they’re twenty-five years old. You put those two things together and you get a much,much higher risk." A new law proposes a graduated driver licensing system. Graduated means teenagers start with restrictions like on night driving and numbers of passengers. They could not get a full driver's license until age eighteen.

1.According to the passage, {A、B、C} is the most likely to lead to a traffic accident while you are driving.

A.texting on the mobile phone

B.reaching for a cell phone.

C.talking on the mobile phone

2. We can learn from the second paragraph that {A、B、C}.

A. drivers who resulted in nearly 4,000 deaths are teenagers

B. over 30,000 victims have died from traffic crashes so far

C. it was at night that Ryan Didone died from a car accident

3. A safety event held by insurance industry was meant to {A、B、C}.

A.attract more teenagers to take part in it

B.draw enough attention to teenagers' distracted driving

C.make more teenagers practice avoiding large barriers

4. The passage is probably followed by a concluding paragraph about {A、B、C}.

A.much higher risk

B.teen brain development

C.measures to be taken

5. Of all the following, which is the best title for the passage? {A、B、C}

A.Car Crashes —the Top Killer.

B.Distracted Driving —Let's Avoid!

C.Drunken Driving — Dangerous Enough!

According to the U. S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) , car crashe

According to the U. S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) , car crashes are the leading cause of death among children between 5 and 14 years of age. Says NHTSA: "【61】50% of children who die in crashes are unrestrained. In addition, 4 out of 5 children are【62】restrained. "

The NHTSA offers a number of safety【63】and cautions for those who are accompanied by children while driving. 【64】laws vary from country to country and even from state to state, these guidelines may serve as food for【65】to many parents and guardians of children.

The safest place for all children is in the back seat. Infants should be placed in a rear-facing child safety seat in the baekseat of the car. A child【66】a year old and weighing at least 20 pounds may be placed in a forward-facing seat. At 40 pounds, the child can use a "booster seat(儿童案例椅) ",【67】is secured by one of the car's lap and shoulder belts. At approximately 80 pounds and a【68】of about four feet nine inches, the child may begin using an adult safety strap.

Children should not sit in the front passenger seat【69】they are at least 13 years of age. Front- passenger air bags can cause serious【70】to younger children and babies.

When a booster seat is used, a lap belt alone will not provide【71】protection if the booster seat does not have a【72】.

Do not think that a shoulder belt alone will protect a small child; in the【73】of a crash, the belt may【74】the neck of the child, causing serious injury or even death.

Follow instructions closely when【75】and using child seats. According to NHTSA, "even the 'safest' seat may not protect your child if it isn't used correctly. "

A.Of

B.On

C.Over

It used to be the case that if you left your car in the sun on a hot summer's day, then ge
tting back in again afterwards was agony. Not any more. Now you press your key into the door lock and the car's air-conditioning system automatically starts cooling the interior. You just have to wait a minute before you get in.

That is just one of the newer gimmicks that make the modem car so much more comfortable to drive than those produced not so long ago. Another innovation is the self-adjusting seat. When you put the key in the car door, the front seat will automatically adjust itself to the driver's preferred driving position.

These ideas were dreamt up at General Motors' research laboratories in Detroit. The laboratory was set up in the mid-sixties, in response to consumer groups who attacked the company for its safety record. Since then, the company has set itself an impossible goal: that you'll be able to walk away from most car accidents. It spends roughly one billion US dollars every year on safety research.

The company is working on helping drivers survive crashes at higher speeds. The idea is that the driver won't fly out of the car because of his seat belt, He won't be crushed by the side door coming in because it will be strengthened by a side beam. His ribs won't be crushed, nor his organs injured by the steering wheel, because it will bend when the body hits it. His face won't be slashed by broken glass because the windscreen won't shatter.

Every year, the total world-wide bill for injuries of all types is estimated at US $ 500 billion. Transport injuries of all sorts account for one quarter of this. This gives some indication of the size of the problem the scientists working at General Motors' research laboratory have set themselves.

"Not any more." in paragraph one indicates that ______.

A.the sun is no longer as hot these days

B.the car's air-conditioner can make the interior cooler

C.the painful experience doesn't exist any longer

D.the driver doesn't need to wait before he gets in the ear now

Motoring Technology1.2 million road deaths worldwide occur each year, plus a further 50 mi

Motoring Technology

1.2 million road deaths worldwide occur each year, plus a further 50 million injuries. To reduce car crash rate, much research now is focused on safety and new fuels-- though some electric vehicle and biofuel research aims at going faster.

Travelling at speed has always been risky. One cutting edge area2of research in motoring safety is the use of digital in-car assistants. They can ensure you don't miss crucial road signs or fall asleep. The use of artificial intelligence software allows these assistants to monitor your driving and makes sure your phone or radio doesn't distract you at a vital moment. Most crashes result from human and not mechanical faults.

Some safety developments aim to improve your vision. Radar can spot obstacles in fog, while other technology "sees through" high-sided vehicles blocking your view.

And improvements to seat belts, pedal controls and tyres are making driving smoother and safer. The colour of a car has been found to be linked with safety, as have, less surprisingly, size and shape.

And alternatives to fossil-fuel based petrol, such as plant oils, are a hot area of research. Fuel cells based on hydrogen burn cleanly, and are the subject of a serious research effort,

But whatever is in the fuel tank, you don't want a thief in the driving seat and there have been many innovations, some using satellite tracking and remote communications, to fight against car theft. These communication systems can also come into play if you crash, automatically calling for help.

Accidents cause many traffic jams, but there are more subtle interplays between vehicles that can cause jams even on a clear but busy road. Such jams can be analysed using statistical tools. Robotic drivers could be programmed to make traffic flow smoothly and will perhaps one day be everyone's personal chauffeur, but their latest efforts suggest that won't be soon.

What are researchers interested in doing as the road accidents worldwide increase to a shocking rate ?

A.They are developing faster electric vehicles.

B.They are analyzing road deaths occurring worldwide every year.

C.They focus their research on safety and new fuels.

D.They are designing fully automatic cars.
