Although new laws have been passed in some American states to cut down on Distracted(分心的) driving , many accidents and deaths were still related with it, especially using cell phones while driving.Recently the Obama administration is considering disabling cell phones in cars aiming to cut down cell-phone-related road deaths.

Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood, the nation's anti-distracted-driving supporter, said in an interview on November 18 that federal officials are looking at technology to disable cell phones inside cars.

"I think it will be done," LaHood said."I think the technology is there and I think you're going to see the technology become adaptable in automobiles to disable these cell phones- We need to do a lot more if we were going to save lives."

Also on Thursday, the transportation government started a new "Faces of Distracted Driving" video campaign that features people who have been killed or lost their loved ones because of inattentive drivers.The video features heartbreaking stories of children killed, in crashes because of phoning or text messaging, and new videos are expected to be added every few weeks.

A driver is four times more likely to crash while using a mobile phone.More than 5,500 people were killed last year by distracted drivers, and another 500,000 were injured.LaHood has said it is never safe to talk on a cell phone while driving, hands-free or not, because it can really cause distraction.

Incidentally, a lot of people seem to agree with this viewpoint—a new research shows nearly two-thirds of Americans support a national ban on the use of cell phones while driving, even if the driver is using a hands-free device(裝置).But the research didn't ask how people feel about government-issued mobile phone scramblers or other disabling devices.

63.We can learn from the text that Ray LaHood _____.

       A.is in charge of the invention of the technology

       B.is strongly for the use of the technology in cars

       C.thinks it's easy and practical to invent the technology

       D.thinks it's unnecessary to use cell phone while driving

64.The "Faces of Distracted Driving" video campaign aims to _____.

       A.find out the real drivers who caused the accidents

       B.show that most of the victims in car crashes are children

       C.make the public aware of the terrible results of distracted driving

       D.call on drivers to buy the new device which disables cell phones in cars

65.In the last paragraph, the "mobile phone scramblers" are probably _____.

       A.a(chǎn) kind of disabling devices

       B.a(chǎn) kind of hands-free devices

       C.a(chǎn) new kind of cell phones

       D.new devices to help text messaging

66.We can infer from me text that _____.

       A.most people realize the harmfulness of distracted driving

       B.the disabling devices in cars will be widely used if it is free

       C.most people would like to choose hands-free devices while driving

       D.the writer is not sure whether disabling devices will be accepted by the drivers

       42  ,one of the boys was quick—minded,grasped my son,and  43  him on the grass.While it saved his life,it was not  44   to save him from severe burns and the terrible scars.

    After he  45  from the treatments,the doctors told him they would not do plastic surgery(整容)for 6 months  46  it takes that long for the skin to stop shrinking and wrinkling.So,he had to return to college with scars typical of severe burns.

Last weekend, my kids along with few other kids from the neighborhood volunteered to help me wash my car. My 10-year-old daughter came up with the idea of   36 other people’s cars as well. It was pretty    37   outside and I had no plans to   38   being in the bright sun. She    39   wanted to give lemonade(檸檬汽水)to passers-by for free. I had seen little kids   40   and sell fresh lemonade for a small cost but not free. Although I felt    41  , I decided to help her.
  42   she asked me, “What if we    43   this a smile car wash?” I couldn’t hold back my tears and    44   her and the other kids to go outside the house and come up with    45    ideas. While I kept myself busy in drying the car, the gang walked up to me with a(n)  46  with beautiful images of smiles. They had “Free Car Wash” written on it and the    47    of their exercise was “smile”. It was pretty neat to see a team of kids ranging 5-11 years with the   48 to do something for others.
All that seemed  49  and came right from their heart. Nothing seemed to 50    to them: their playtime, the heat outside—they just wanted to   51 others and do something nice in the community!
I helped them make some fresh lemonade and brought out some additional   52   to help clean cars. Passers-by were    53    and one even shouted back to them saying “God Bless You, my kids…” One of them even tried giving them 5 dollars, which they refused. A pretty heartwarming  54  !
I feel blessed by being    55   by such wonderful and loving souls.

The professor put down the papers. “That is exactly what I  34,” he said. “I just want you to know that, although you have completed four years of study, there are 35 many things about the   36 you don’t know. These questions you could not answer are relatively common in everyday  37 .” Then, smiling, he added, “You will all 38  this course, but remember--even though you are now college graduates, your education had just  39  .”
