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 ran into the side of blues car. blues 2-year-old daughter was killed immediately in the crash. blues has since devoted her time top 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 should be on educating drivers to avoid all distractions. however, talking on cell phones might be easier to regulate than eating or changing music. at least 34 states have already passed laws to restrict cell phone use in moving cars. no state has banned it yet, but several us. cities. 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”.21.what happened to patricia blues on november 2, 2007?a. she was seriously injured in a car crash.b. she lost her daughter in a road accident.

sign c. blues poor car conditions. d. the motorists absence of mind while driving 23. patricia blues new goal of life is to persuade the government_.a. to forbid the carrying of cell phones in cars.

text?a. using cell phones while driving is easier to be controlled by law than other distractions.b. it is more important to make laws than educate drivers to be aware of driving safety.c. driving while on the cell phone is firmly against only by some students from high schools.d. it is extremely urgent for the cities with a large population to restrict using cell phones.bspring is just around

borneo climb dead trees and shake then until they begin to fall. they scream with excitement as they cling to the falling tree. just before the tree hits the ground the orangutans leap to another tree or vine, narrowly escaping death. while no one cab ask orangutans if they enjoy it as a person playing an extreme sport, one animal behaviorist sees this monkey fun as a bit of harmless thrill-seeking. a growing number of scientists agree that animals are conscious and capable of experiencing basic emotions（情感）, such as happiness, sadness, boredom or depression. a few scientists even see the possibility for higher animal emotions like love, jealousy and spite. five years ago, behaviorist and animal-rights activist dr. jonathan balcombe stood on a virginia hotel balcony watching two crows intimately groom（清洁） each other in the comfort of an abandoned billboard. he felt that the birds liked what they were doing, even if engaged in a natural, beneficial act, such as picking parasites(寄生虫) off the others feathers. that moment changed the way he would view animals forever and led to a book, “pleasurable kingdom: animals and the nature of feeling good”, which is filled with hundreds of examples of animals living it up thanks to developed senses of touch, taste, sight, sound and smell. balcombe recounts a favorite example of kenyan hippos（河马） having high-end spa treatment in a fresh water spring. they splay their toes, open their mouths wide and wait for a school of cleaner fish to remove parasites and slough off dead skin, he recalls. balcombe knows that the hippos and the fish both benefit from this arrangement. “my interpretation is that it is also enjoyable for them ,” he says.28.danger-junkie orangutans shook the tree to _.a. get some fruits b. enjoy themselves c. train their escaping skills d. frighten other animals29 the purpose of the first paragraph is to _.a. describe an unusual scene among animals b. give an example that animals can experience pleasure.c. make a comparison between monkeys with humans d. show that animals can avoid danger30. the passage leads us to the belief that _.a. animals can experience emotions. b. animals have a way to adapt to their environmentc. animals can copy what humans do d. animals are only eat-or-be-eaten beasts31. we can conclude from the passage that _.a. only a few animals have emotions.b. balcombes theory is not supported by other scientistsc. balcombe has watched a lot of animals showing emotions d. balcombe can understand animal languaged.some people would have you believe that being fat is the worst thing you can be. they think that if a person is fat they have no life, no love, no reason to want to look good in their clothes. the sad thing is that many people who are fat do feel the same loathing toward themselves and others who are overweight or obese. i know what im talking about because i have been there. i have been that fat girl who wore big t-shirts to cover my “sins”. forget style. forget fashion sense. i absolutely had none. i didnt even bother getting haircuts for years, just wore my hair long and straight, pulled back in a ponytail, i have to wonder if the reason the fashion industry has ignored plus sized women and children for so long is because plus sized people, feeling they couldnt possibly look great, didnt bother shopping for new clothes, and therefore no profit was to be found by producing those sizes. for me, the change that improved my outer look actually started with my outlook on life. i started by being grateful for all i do have, like great health, a stable family, a steady income, freedom, a decent home, the ability to see the trees turn orange in the fall, to hear my grandson humming in the back seat, to remember the great times ive had in my life. i started to focus on all the positive aspects of the life i already had. i actually started to feel the beauty of the universe all around me and to realize that i am part of that perfection. the self loathing stopped. i noticed all the people in my life who loved me in spite of my size. i got off the pity pot and smiled at myself. i acknowledged my shame and embarrassment and moved through that too.32. we can learn from the first paragraph that_.a. a fat person is easy be taken away by others viewpoint b. fat people always have a low opinion of themselves c. fat people usually envy others who are slimd. fat people usually have pity on each other33. according to the author, the fashion industry_.a. makes a lot of money by making clothes for fat peopleb. does not bother to make clothes for fat peoplec. targets on fat people mainly for the purpose of making profitd. looking down upon fat people too34. what does the author think is the most important to lead a happy life?a. ones view on life. b. the support and care from others.c. neglecting others views. d. focusing on ones inner beauty.35. the author is probably _.a. an expert at weight loss b. a girl who is troubled by her weight c. an old woman who is much careful with her appearance d. an old lady who is happy with almost
