It’s both an exciting but frightening experience for parents the moment their teenager obtains a driver’s license. Here are some of the best and most recommended apps for teen drivers and for their parents’ peace of mind.

Safe Driver

This app works by monitoring the position and the driving speed of your child. You can also set a speed limit. Whenever your child drives over this speed limit, an alert(警报)will be sent to your phone. Its only drawback is that it’s only effective when your child opens the app on their phone while driving.

Drive Safely

If you’re scared of your teenagers’ tendencies to be on the phone while driving, this is a great app for them to use. Whenever a text message comes in, it’ll read the text message out loud. The driver needn’t take their hands off the wheel in order to check text messages on their phone. The user can even respond to the message via voice.

Textecution

This app locks a driver’s phone while he or she is driving, preventing the user from gaining access to any of the SMS functions of the phone. Parents can be alerted via the app’s website. For example, you’ll be sent an alert in the event that the driver has requested permission to access their phone’s messaging function. This function can only be activated if the driver is safely parked or in the event of an accident. If ever your child removes the application from their phone, parents can be informed, too.

Life 360

The initial purpose of this app is connecting family members together. Through the app, you can share your position with one another wherever you are. It provides real-time data for parents about position and driving speed. Parents can, therefore, feel safe and secure knowing that their child has reached their intended destination. The application can be turned off. But it’ll inform the members within the app that your child has disabled it.

1.What can the app Safe Driver do?

A.Control the user’s driving speed.

B.Keep working even when it’s turned off.

C.Help teenagers develop good driving habits.

D.Alert parents to their children’s overspeed driving.

2.Which app enables the user to receive and answer text messages easily while driving?

A.Safe Driver. B.Drive Safely. C.Textecution. D.Life 360.

3.What do Textecution and Life 360 have in common?

A.They are intended to bring family members closer.

B.Teenagers can’t delete them without parents’ permission.

C.Parents can know if they stop working on teenagers' phones.

D.They offer parents real-time data about position and driving speed.

高三英语单项填空简单题查看答案及解析

My parents both left school at 14. They could read and write, but except for a quick look at the daily newspaper, reading and writing didn't play a big part in their lives. There were very few books in the house. When I was only 14 years old my father gave me an important letter that he'd written to the bank and asked me to check it for grammar and spelling mistakes. And there were quite a lot. He never wrote letters or postcards or even Christmas cards. So when he had to write he wasn't comfortable or confident. Does that mean that my father had a ‘low level of literacy (读写能力)’? I don't think so.

There are lots of different definitions (定义) of literacy. Some experts define it as having the reading and writing skills that you need to be independent in your everyday life. So, for example, if you can read instructions, write a cheque, fill in a form — anything that you need to do in everyday life — then you are ‘functionally literate’.

If you live in a society where most people are literate then you will feel ashamed and avoid situations in which you have to read or write. A friend's father finally admitted to his family that he couldn't read when he was 45 years old. He had bought the newspaper every day and pretended to read it.

Being illiterate can have a big effect on people's lives. Worldwide statistics show that literacy problems are associated with poverty and a lack of political power. More women than men are illiterate. Illiterate people have worse health, bigger families and are more likely to go to prison. So literacy campaigns must be a good thing. But don't forget that an illiterate person, or someone with a low level of literacy, isn't necessarily stupid or ignorant (无知的) — and may not be unhappy at all. Knowledge and wisdom isn't only found in writing.

1.What do we know about the author's father?

A. He read a lot.　　 B. He rarely wrote.

C. He couldn't write.　　 D. He bought many books.

2.What does the author say about “functionally literate” people?

A. They are usually mind readers.

B. They can read between the lines.

C. They are mainly dependent on others.

D. They are able to read and write to survive.

3.Why did the friend's father buy the newspaper regularly?

A. To keep his secret.

B. To be fashionable.

C. To enjoy the daily news.

D. To further his study

4.What is literacy irrelevant to according to the author?

A. Health.　　 B. Poorness.

C. Influence.　　 D. Happiness.

I looked into her eyes and said．“I didn’t want to lose them．so I put them into the toes of my boots．”
