Wearing seat belt is,of course,the first step to safe driving.These additional measures might also save your life.
Count to three.Keeping up enough space between your car and others is extreme1y necessary.Jim Clark,a California driving instructor,suggests a least amount of three seconds’following distance.To figure this,pick an object on the roadside ahead.When the car in front of you passes it,start counting one-thousand-one,one-thousand-two,one-thousand-three.If you get to that object before you reach one-thousand-three,you don’t have three seconds of following time --- time needed to keep away from accidents.
Let followers pass.“If someone’s driving after you,get out of his way,”Clark advises.“You’re better of being safe than right.”
Expect the worst.In a study,the Federal Highway Administration(联邦公路局)found that 68 percent of drivers do not come to a complete stop at stop signs.When you’re driving and see someone come near to a stop sing,assume the person’s not going to stop.
And when you stop at a crossing and another car comes near with its turn signal on,don’t take it true that the driver will turn.Instead,wait until he turns.He may have had the signal on for miles.
Stay outside.In crowd,multilane(多车道) traffic,drive in either the outside--left or outside--right lane.“That allows you somewhere to go if a problem develops,”traffic expert Francis Kenel says.“If you’re in the middle,all you can do is to pause from time to time.”

小题2:When you finish counting“one-thousand-three",you have   .
A.driven one thousand and three metresB.kept three seconds’distance from other cars
C.counted a lot of numbersD.kept a long distance from the object
小题3:What does the underlined word“assume”in Paragraph 4 probably mean?
A.Maybe.B.Guess.C.Ask.D.Suppose.
小题4:Mr.Kenel tells us while driving in multilane traffic_______.   
A.we’d better find somewhere to go
B.it will be better for us to drive in the outside lanes
C.it is safer to drive in the middle
D.we must drive on the left

答案

小题1:C
小题1:B
小题1:D
小题1:B
解析

小题1:通读全文可知,安全驾驶至少包括五个方面:wear seat belt,count to three,let followers pass,expect the worst,stay outside。
小题1:由于从one-thousand-one开始数秒,所以数完one-thousand-three,就说明三秒钟已经过去,即你和其他车辆已有三秒钟的距离。
小题1:结合上下语境可知,assume的意思是“假定”,所以和suppose同义。
小题1:从文章最后一段第二句可知:在多车道上驾车时,最好走外车道。
举一反三
Suppose someone gave you a pen---a sealed(密封的),solid‑coloured pen. You couldn’t see how much 21 it had. It might run dry  22  the first few tentative (试探的) words or last just long and make a difference in the scheme of things. You don’t know when the ink will  24 .
Under the rules of the game, you really never know. You have to  25 a chance! Actually, no rule of the game states you must do anything.  26  picking up and using the pen, you could leave it on a shelf or in a drawer where it will dry up, 27 .But if you do decide to use it, what would you  28  it? How would you  29  the game?
Would you plan and plan before you ever  30  a word? Would your plans be so extensive that you never didn’t even start  31 ? Or would you take the pen  32 ,plunge right in and Just do it, struggling to keep up  33  the twists and turns of the torrent (急流)of words that take you where they take you?
Would you write cautiously and  34 ,as if the pen might run dry the next moment, or would you pretend to believe that the pen would write forever and go on accordingly?
And what would you write about:Love? Hate? Fun? Misery? Life? Death? Nothing? 35 ?
Would you write to  36 just yourself? Or others? Or yourself by writing about others?
Would you even write? Once you have the pen ,no  37 says you have to write. Would you sketch? Scribble(潦草地写)?Doodle(涂鸦)or draw? Would you stay in or on the  38 ,or see no lines at all, even if they  39 there? There’s a lot to think about here, isn’t there?
Now,  40  someone gave you a life…

The old shopkeeper led me through to the back of the shop. The room was filled with boxes and photographs of people dressed in old-fashioned clothes, holding packages in their hands.
“Who are these people?” I asked.
“Satisfied customers,” answered young Mr. Hopkins. “We have a very wide choice of items for sale. Whenever I serve a new customer, I always take their picture.” Mr. Hopkins pointed to an ancient camera standing next to one wall. “Now, how can I serve you?” he added.
By this time, I had started to trust Mr. Hopkins and had begun to appreciate the lovely items on sale. I needed to buy Christmas presents for my family and friends, and this seemed to be the perfect place to purchase them. I spent a very pleasant hour being shown the commodities in Mr. Hopkins’shop. No matter what I asked for, Mr. Hopkins found it for me. Finally, I bought an antique jewelry box, a pair of riding boots, a leather-bound edition of the Complete Works of Mark Twain, and a sewing machine.
I was very excited that I had found such a good little shop. I promised Mr. Hopkins that I would come back soon. “I will tell all my friends about your lovely place,” I told the shopkeeper.
“Please do not do that, sir”, said Mr. Hopkins. “This is a special place for special people. You must keep this shop a secret.” Then he took my photograph, and handed me the picture straight away.
“That was quick!” I exclaimed. I looked at the photograph. In the picture I looked proud and excited holding the presents I had bought in Mr. Hopkins’ dusty shop.
On Christmas Day, my friends and relatives were delighted with the presents I had bought for them. For weeks, my brother begged me to show him where to find this wonderful little shop. I finally agreed to take him to London to show him.
When we arrived in London, we walked along Oxford Street, past the department store and found...nothing. The little shop was no longer there. In its place was an empty space being used as a car park. I checked the area again. There was the music shop, and there was the department store. In between should have been Hopkins and Son, but it wasn’t there.
As I was staring at the place where the shop should have been, an old policeman came along. “Are you looking for something sir?” he asked.
I turned and said “I am looking for a little shop called Hopkins and Son. I thought it was here.”
“Oh yes,” said the policeman. “There was a shop here once called Hopkins and Son. It sold all sorts of things, but it was knocked down over 30 years ago.”
I looked again at the place where the shop had been. Then I reached into my pocket and took out the photograph that Mr. Hopkins had taken of me holding my presents in the little shop.
“How strange” I exclaimed.
小题1:How did the writer like the shop?

It is six o’clock in the morning. You are asleep in my left arm and I am learning the art of one-handed typing. Your mother, more tired yet more happy than I’ve ever known her, is sound asleep in the room next door.
When you’re older we’ll tell you that you were born in Hong Kong in the lunar year of the pig. “It"s a boy, so lucky,” our neighbours told us. They said you were the first baby to be born in the block this year. This, they told us, was good Feng Shui, in other words, a positive sign. Naturally your mother and I were only too happy to believe that.
Your coming has turned me upside down and inside out. I am pained by the memory of each suffering child I have come across on my journeys as a journalist. To tell you the truth, it’s nearly too much for me to even think of the children being hurt and abused and killed.
Last October, in Afghanistan, when you were growing inside your mother, I met Sharja, aged twelve, motherless, fatherless, guiding me through the grey ruins of her home. Everything was gone, she told me.
There is another memory of Rwanda, and the churchyard where I found a mother and her three young children huddled(蜷缩) together where they’d been beaten to death. The children had died holding on to their mother.
Daniel, these memories explain some of the protectiveness I feel for you, and the occasional moments of blind terror when I imagine anything bad happening to you.

Long before they became doctors, lawyers, CEO’s or real estate developers, they played in garage bands and maybe even dreamed of becoming rock stars. That’s why they signed up for Rock "n" Roll Fantasy Camp.
For nearly a week, the mostly middle-aged “campers” had practiced in the West 54th Street studios. They came from as far away as London and Tokyo and as close as Long Island and downtown New York to prepare for their moment of onstage glory.
“I feel like I’m 18 again,” said Jerry Goldberg, a 60-year-old investment banker and guitar player, whose family was in the audience.” I admit that I felt a little uncertain when I first got here, but this has turned out to be a wonderful experience, one of the greatest of my life.”
Everybody has two businesses, their own business and show business. This can be a life-changing experience for them. Mr. Daltrey, who has appeared at several fantasy camps, was asked why he keeps coming back.
“I’ve had people tell me that I shouldn’t be doing this, that it"s bad for my image,” he acknowledged. “But that’s rubbish. Look, it’s all so positive, and everybody is having so much fun. So what’s bad about that?”
Jeff Munger, a drummer and rancher(农场主) said. “I’m at a point in my life where I’m going to spend my money on things I’m passionate about, and I’m absolutely crazy about music.”
Most of the campers are successful executives or professionals: a founder of the Oracle Computer Company, a businessman whose father invented the Big Mac, a plastic surgeon, presidents of health care and seafood companies.
小题1:This text is mainly about________.
A.a music course for the elderly people

小题2:What do the middle aged campers have in common?
A.They are all interested in charity.
B.They are all passionate about music.
C.They are all retired business people.
D.They were all rock stars when they were young.

A.once played in a garage band
B.has come with his family
C.has joined in the camp a couple of times
D.is very careful about his image
