In America,the number of people killed in car crashes in 2016 was above 40,000 for the first time in a decade,data released on Wednesday shows.
“Americans believe there is nothing we can do to stop crashes from happening,but that isn't true.We are behind the rest of the developed world in addressing highway fatalities(死亡).We just haven't been willing to do what needs to be done,”said Deborah A.P.Hersman,president of the National Safety Council.
The National Safety Council data shows a 6 percent increase in deaths in 2018 when compared with 2015 and a 3 percent increase in the number of miles Americana drove in 2016.
“Motor vehicle fatality numbers have been ringing the alarm for two years,”Hersman said.“Unfortunately,we have been blind to the data and the killings on our roadways.If we fail to take action,the death tell will continue to rise.”
“The trend is clear:After years of progress,highway deaths are heading in the wrong direction,”said Jonathan Adkins,a state safety official.
The number of people killed reached a record low of 32,675 in 2014,according to NHTSA statistics.That record followed a fairly steady downward track for the past six years that experts attributed it primarily to safety features that have been built into cars and trucks.
Safety advances including increased seat-belt use,air bags,anti-lock braking,stability controls and electronic warnings and cameras.
The bad economy and high gas prices also influenced the reduction in deaths.Now,with unemployment and gas prices both low,more people are driving for work and pleasure trips.
“It’s not just that Americans drive more miles when the economy improves ;it’s the kind of miles they drive,”said Adrian Lund,president of the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety.
1.What’s Hersman’s attitude towards the present situation?
A. It has been getting better. B. It can hardly be improved.
C. The efforts are far from enough. D. Much work hart already been done.
2.What do we learn about the number of highway deaths in 2013 in America?
A. It’s lower than that in 2014. B. It’s lower than that in 2010.
C. It’s the lowest in recent years. D. It’s the highest in recently years.
3.What will happen with the economic recovery?
A. The gas prices will go up. B. The gas price will go down.
C. There will be more highway deaths. D. There will be fewer highway deaths.
4.What would be the best title for the passage?
A. Traffic Deaths Are on the Rise B. Highway Deaths Will Drop off
C. Measures to Handle Car Crashes D. Safety Advances in Cars Are Made

A plane crash in Western Russian killed Polish President Lech Kaczynski and the other 96 political and military officials on board on April 10. The accident has led to huge national mourning in Poland. But it may provide an opportunity for reconciliation (和解) between Poland and Russia, countries that have a troubled relationship.
Many from the political elite were lost in the crash. Beside the president, the dead include the army chief of Staff, the head of National Security Bureau, the national bank president, the deputy foreign minister and other members of parliament.
The Polish delegation was heading to Russia to mark the 70 th anniversary of the Katyn Massacre (屠杀) when the accident occurred. In 1940, about 22,000 Polish soldiers, intellectuals, and officials captured after the Soviet Army invaded Poland in 1939, were killed secretly by Soviet police in the forest of Russia’s Katyn.
The Katyn Massacre had been a sensitive topic between the countries. The former Soviet Union always denied responsibility for the massacre. It was not until 1992 that Russian released archived documents about the killing.
Katyn is merely a short chapter in Poland and Russia’s long and troubled history. In the 18 th century, along with Prussia, (then an important part of Germany) and Austria. Russia participated in three carve – ups of Poland. In 1795, after the third carve – up, the country was erased from the map of Europe. It was in 1918 that Poland regained its independence. But in 1939, at the beginning of the World War II, it was invaded by Germany and the Soviet Union under a secret pact. After the war, Poland became a communist country with close ties to the Soviet Union.
In 1989, Poland switched to capitalism and pursued a pro – West position. The most recent tension between the two countries was in 2008. That year, Poland decided to have a US missile shield (导弹防御系统) on its soil, while neighboring Russia threatened to aim missiles at Poland.
But the plane crash has created a chance for reconciliation, with Russia sharing the sadness of Poland. Russia has declared April 12 a day of mourning for the victims. Flags flew at half – mast in Moscow. And earlier on April 7, Russia Prime Minister Vladimir Putin became the first Russian leader to mark the anniversary of the massacre.
“I think it should improve relations between the two countries, as Russians feel our grief,” said Radek Sikorski, Pland’s foreign minister.
