A recent study offers a picture of how dangerous it is to get a lift from a teenage driver. Indeed, a 16-year-old driver with three or more passengers is three times as likely to have a fatal（致命的）accident as a teenager driving alone. However, the possibility of death for drivers between 30 and 59 decreases with each additional (added) passenger.
It was also found that the death rates for teenage drivers increased greatly after 10 p.m., and especially after midnight. With passengers in the car, the driver was even more likely to die in a late night accident.
Robert Foss, a scientist at the University of North Carolina Highway Safety Research Center, says the higher death rates for teenage drivers have less to do with “really stupid behavior” than with just a lack of driving experience. Both he and the author of the study believe that the way to help solve the problem is to have states setting up so-called graduated licensing systems（等級(jí)執(zhí)照制）. A graduated license requires that a teenager first prove that he/she is able to drive in the presence of an adult, followed by a period of driving with a limited number of passengers, before graduating to full driving on his own. About half of the states now have some sort of graduated licensing system in place. The systems have reduced teenage driver crashes（相撞）, according to recent studies

    3. C.
      their careless way of driving

In the West, some people believe that personality can be predicted according to the time of the year the person was bor. From China comes the belief that the year of birth influences one’s personality. In the past century, a new belief ahs arisen: the idea that personality is related to one’s ABO blood type. People with blood type A, for example, are considered more likely to be serious, hard-working, and quiet, while people with blood type O are likely to be popular and outgoing, yet often unable to finish what they start. Though this belief continues to be strong, some people question whether it is true.
The blood-type personality theory(理論) started in Japan in 1927 when Furukawa Takehi noticed personality similarities and differences among his workers. This idea soon went out of fashion, but was brought back by a Japanese television host named Toshitaka Nomi in the 1970s. The belief is still strong in Japan and is increasingly popular in neighboring countries. Some young Koreans have taken to the theory. A recent study showed 76 percent of Koreans aged between13 and 64 believing in the blood-type personality connection. Though most Asians might believe in the blood-type theory, for many it seems harmless and not something to be taken too seriously.
Is the belief true? The scientists in Asia largely think the belief as a modern-day superstition(迷信). Most studies have failed to find any strong connection between blood and personality. Generally, scientists are against making predictions or important decisions based on this questionable theory.
【小題1】The writer uses blood type A and O as an example to explain ________.
A．the difference between the two blood types
B．the relationship between the two blood types
C．the influence of blood type on one’s behavior
D．the connection between personality and blood type
【小題2】What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 mean?
A．They don’t believe it.
B．It was brought back by them.
C．They liked and accepted it.
D．They stole the idea from others
【小題3】Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A．Most scientists in Asia don’t believe in the theory.
B．The blood-type theory began in Japan in the 1970s.
C．The blood-type personality theory is about blood type.
D．People don’t change their personality to match the theory.
【小題4】What is the best title for the passage?
A．Is the blood-type theory changeable ?
B．Is the personality changeable?
C．Is it in your blood?
D．Is it in you mind?

Last year in the UK at least 45 people died and 900 more 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 30 percent slower than when they had drunk too much—and nearly 50 percent 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 90 seconds 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(駕照)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．
【小題1】The underlined word“'them”in paragraph 1 refers to          .

A．phone usersB．mobile phonesC．driversD．ears
【小題2】According to the passage，if a driver needs 10 seconds to stop when driving normally, they will need  seconds to stop when talking on a mobile phone．
A．12．B．13．C．14.D．15．
【小題3】According to the passage，in what order do the following activities influence driving?
Dangerous→More dangerous→Most dangerous
A．drinking→talking on phone→texting
B．texting→talking on phone→drinking
C．talking on phone→texting→drinking
D． drinking→texting→talking on phone
【小題4】Why will new types of mobile phones make the driving problem worse?
A．It will take longer to send text messages．
B．People will want to talk on their phones more often．
C．There will be more things for people to do with their phones．
D．People think the new phones are easier and safer to use．
【小題5】According to the writer,what should be done to people who use mobile phones when driving?
A．They should be put into prison．
B．Their cars should be taken away．
C．Their phones should be taken from them．
D．They should not be allowed to drive any longer．
