Therefore, using a cell phone while driving should be bannedCars are two-ton weapons and should be treated as such. when drivers put a key in the ignition(点火开关). He should be a responsibility of being a driver. Answering the phone while driving is like firing a gun-at any moment something could go wrong and change a life forever.A few countries, including Australia, Great Britain, Spain and Israel, have recognized the damagethat cell phone use can Cause. According to Tom Alex of The Des Moines Register, people who talk on cell phones while driving are just as dangerous as drunk drivers. One Small distraction (分心的事物) could trigger a deadly mistake, causing them to hurt themselves or someone else. Some may argue that cell phones are helpful when you have an emergency situation.

They send her to Vietnam with her grandmother, hoping Mia will learn to appreciate Vietnamese culture. But Mia doesnt view Vietnamese culture as her own. She doesnt even speak the language. This is the story I tell in my new novel, Listen, Slowly Can the trip attract Mias interest in her roots? Will she refuse to accept her familys history? Now I1I tell you more about my new book.So what inspired me to write the book? I wanted to look at cultural differences between teenagers in the United States and Vietnam. I also wanted to play with the idea of how we practice a language and how we communicate in spite of language barriers.What is the main character Mia like? Well, she can be sarcastic (尖刻的), but shes basically a good child. She just wants to be a California beach girl. She has no interest in Vietnam. She spends a good two weeks pouting(噘嘴) when she gets to Vietnam. Then she comes to the conclusion that she may as well make the best of it. You may wonder why I put Mia in a completely different environment. Well, if Mia is going to connect with her past, she will have to leave the world she knows. I think the easiest way to change a childs attitude is to take away everything she has already known. For example, Mia cant be sarcastic in Vietnam because she doesnt have the language to do it. I wanted her to listen instead of running tier mouth. When you re learning anew language, you are forced to listen because you can understand much more than you can speak. Actually, the grandmother in the novel is very much like my own mother. I am the age of Mias parents so I understand them. They speak both English, and Vietnamese. They have so much that they want to pass on to Mia but that shes not interested in.As for now, Im writing a novel about an American boy who wants to be a cowboy.13. Why do Mia s parents want her to go to-Vietnam?A .Because Mias grandmother nee& her company.B. Because they want Mia to learn about foreign cultures. C. Because they want Mia-to develop liking for Vietnamese culture.D. Because they dont want Mia to go to the beach alone.14. What is Paragraph 2 mainly about?,A. What difficulties the author had in writing the bookB. Who inspired the author to write the book.C. What the book mainly talks about.D. How the author wrote the book:15. How does Mia most probably feel after arriving in Vietnam?A. Confused.B. Upset.C. Excited.D. Relaxed.第二节（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填人空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Before you begin studying English, ask yourself one question: 16 “Is it because you want to, or because someone else wants you to?
