Car accidents happen everywhere every day and are the main cause of injury in the United States. In order to control the increasing accidents, many states have passed tough laws. Also, car manufacturers(生產(chǎn)商) have been trying to make safer cars to save lives.

However, as there are more and more cars and drivers on the road, these safety measures are not enough to stop the increasing car accidents. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration(管理部門) reports that a car accident happens every 10 seconds in the United States.

Car accidents may be caused by different reasons. Some accidents are caused by the driver's tiredness and illness or drunk driving. Some may be caused by speeding or running a red light. When this happens, by the time the driver realizes what has happened, it is usually too late. As for ages, young drivers usually don't have enough experience while elderly drivers react slowly. Mechanical defects(機(jī)械缺陷) such as a broken brake(剎車) are another cause of car accidents. Poor road and weather conditions can also be causes.

Talking about different causes of car accidents can help us know what precautions(預(yù)防措施) to take beforehand. We should tell our friends or family members not to drive in poor health or after drinking wine. We should tell teenage drivers to be careful with road and weather conditions and let elderly friends understand their driving limitation. Besides, we should have our cars checked regularly(規(guī)律地). The most important thing for us to remember, however, is that we should always follow the traffic rules.

A. They try to make safer cars.

B. They try to build more roads.

C. They have passed tough traffic laws.

D. They make drivers have their cars examined every month.

2.What does the underlined word “elderly” possibly mean?

A. Tiredness. B. Illness.

C. Drunk driving. D. A broken brake.

4.Which has nothing to do with a driver's age?

A. Teenage drivers.

C. Reacting slowly.

D. Driving experience.

5.In order to avoid accidents caused by mechanical defects, we should ________.

A new study shows that workers should take their full vacation time. There are two reasons. First, when workers take breaks, they are less stressed (有壓力的) and happier on the job. Second, workers will actually work harder when they come back. The study says that managers should take their full vacation time too. That’s because if workers see their managers at work all the time, they think they are expected to do the same.

Canadians are usually offered two to three weeks of paid vacation (帶薪假期) when they start a job. However, one fourth of Canadian workers don’t take their full vacation time because they are afraid of having too much work to do when they get back. And most of them think they will be better workers in their managers’ eyes by ▲ .

In the USA, the situation is even worse. Over a half of working Americans don’t use all of their vacation time. One of the biggest reasons is that they have too much work. It’s surprising that the United States is the only developed country in the world without a law (法規(guī)) to make employers (雇主) offer their workers paid vacation. Some other countries, for example, Germany, Australia and Japan, make employers offer their workers at least four weeks of paid vacation.

1.According to the new study, it’s ______ for both workers and managers to take full vacation time.

A. bad B. easy

C. helpful D. impossible

2.Which of the following can be put in ▲ ?
