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(驾照)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.

解析
短文属于说明文。主要讲述司机在开车时使用手机通话、发短语带来的危险。
小题1:细节理解题。代替前面提到的mobile phones。
小题2:推理判断题。根据第二段“…nearly 50 percent slower than when they were driving normally”打电话的比正常的慢50%,由此可以算出。
小题3:综合理解题。从第二段第一句和第二句“It can even be more dangerous than driving after drinking too much.”可知talking on phone比drinking更危险;从第一段第三句“And talking isn’t even the most serious problem, texting is.”可知,texting最危险。
小题4:细节理解题。从第三段最后一句“The arrival of new smart phones …as they will allow users to do more things than ever before.”可知新型手机功能多,因此可以推测出它更有趣,结果分散司机的注意力,造成事故。
小题5:主旨大意题。本文中心意思就是开车时使用手机太危险。实际上,从最后一段“But there is no need to use them while driving.”也可知作者的观点。

It"s the end of class. When the bell rings, students of Luohu Foreign Languages School in Shenzhen quickly take out their cell phones. They want to log on* to their micro blogs to check the interesting things that have happened in the last hour.
  Since last year, the trend* of micro blogging has swept the country. Recent surveys shows that most students in middle schools have a micro blog and some even update* their blogs over five times per day.
  "We learn many fresh and interesting things on micro blogs and they have become popular topics in class," said Andy Liang, 14. "If you do not know about them, you are out of the loop."
  It is also a great place for students to let out stress. "My parents always ask me to study all the time, and encourage me before exams, but it really adds pressure," said Simon Zhang, 15. "When I share these feelings on my micro blog, I get many replies from friends in the same situation, which makes me feel better."
  But parents are worried that micro blogging could be a waste of time. Some misleading messages may even cause danger to kids, they said.
  Mr. Shen, a professor at the China Education Association, suggests parents not worry too much as long as kids are not crazy about micro blogging. Maybe it can become a window for parents to understand their children. "If parents can read their children"s micro blogs, they"ll know their thoughts, thus leading to better communication and solutions to problems," he said. He also gives some tips for kids.
  ---Don"t micro blog for more than one hour a day.
  ---Never micro blog in class.
  ---Try to talk face to face with people from time to time.
  ---Be critical*. Don"t trust all the messages on a micro blog.
小题1:The underlined part "out of the loop" in the passage probably means                 .
A.not popular B.not excited C.unhealthy D.unlucky
小题2:Micro blog made Simon       when he shared his feelings and got replies on his micro biog.
A.feel sad B.let out stressC.add pressure D.make friends
小题3:We can know from Mr. Shen that micro blogging can                 .
A.make kids crazy while logging on to it
B.bring a lot of misleading messages
C.become a window to understand young kids
D.lead to worse communication
小题4:Which statement is TRUE according to the passage?
A.It"s good for kids to micro blog for more than one hour a day.
B.Kids should trust all the messages on a micro blog because they are useful.
C.The trend of micro blogging has swept the country since five years ago.
D.Kids should try to talk face to face with people, not just micro blogging.

People go to school for education. School education is very important and useful, but no one can learn everything from school. A teacher, no matter how much he knows, cannot teach his student everything. His work is to show his students how to learn. He teaches them how to read and how to think. So much more is to be learned outside school by students themselves.
It’s always more important to know how to learn by oneself than to learn some facts or formulas (公式)by heart. It’s quite easy to learn some facts in history or a formula in math, but it’s very difficult to use them. Edison and Einstein didn’t get everything from school, but they were all successful. They invented so many things. The reason for their success is that they knew how to study. They read many books outside school. They worked hard all their lives, wasting not a single moment. The most important thing is that they know how to use their brains(大脑)。
小题1:Everyone can learn everything from school.
小题2:To learn some facts in history or a formula in math isn’t very difficult.
小题3:Edison and Einstein didn’t read many books outside school.
小题4:It’s very important for a teacher to show his students how to learn.
小题5:The reason for Edison and Einstein success is that they knew how to study.

Many people don’t think that the number 13 is a lucky number. Many hotels do not have a 13th floor. The floors go from 12 to 14, and there is no number13. Some people will never sit at a table with 12 other people. They will tell someone to go or ask another person to sit with them.
No one really knows why people do not like the number 13. Perhaps one reason is that when people began to count, they used ten fingers and two hands. This made 12. They could not count more.
Some Christians (基督徒) say that 13 is not lucky because there were 13 people at a meal the day before Jesus (耶稣) was killed (被***). In a story about the old Greek (希腊的) gods, 12 gods were asked to a meal but one more came. This made 13. It is why the god Balder, who was at the meal, was killed.
小题1:Some people will never sit at a table with twelve other people, or _________________.
A. they will never come for dinner together
B.they will ask one of them to leave
C.all of them will leave
D.they will wait for two other people to come
小题2:The story is about _____________________.
A.the death of Jesus
B.the person who killed Balder
C.why 13 is not a lucky number
