On November 2, 2007, Blues lived through a horrible experience. A motorist dialing a cell phone drove through a stop sign at 45 miles per hour and run into the side of Blues car. Blues 2-year-old daughter was killed immediately in the crash.Blues has since contributed her time to pushing for laws that would prevent this type of tragedy from happening again.Cell phones are not the only distractions(分神) that cause accidents. Eating, changing CDs, reading maps, talking to passengers, and just reaching for an object on the floor can be dangerous. Therefore, the emphasis（重点）should be on educating drivers to avoid all distractions. However, talking on cell phones might be easier to control than eating or changing music. At least 34 states have already passed laws to control cell phone use in moving cars. No state has forbidden it yet, but several US cities have. Worldwide, 13 nations, including Australia, England, Germany, Japan and China have banned drivers use of cell phones in moving cars.To date, no scientific evidence has been published showing that talking on the phone affects driving safety. But according to a test by some high school students “Driving while on the phone does affect safety and probably shouldnt be done.”66. What happened to Patricia Blues on November 2,2007?A.

Dont be shy! You need to take this small risk to let people know that you are interested in them. Activities such as shopping are helpful at this stage of a friendship because they allow you to discover each others ideas and find some common ground.Make friends your priority（优先）. 80 Make friends a priority in your life.
