Starting next year, Ford Motor Co. will allow parents to limit the speed at which their teenage children drive their car.
The company will make a new feature on many models that can limit teen drivers to 80 mph(130 kph), using a computer chip(芯片) in the key.
Parents in the United States, where most teens can get their driving license at 16, also have the option of programming the car key to limit the audio system volume(音量), and to sound continuous alarm if the driver doesn’t wear a seat belt.
More than half of parents surveyed worry that their teenage children are driving at unsafe speeds, talking on hand-held cell phones or texting while driving, or otherwise driving without due care and attention. More than a third of parents also are concerned that their teens do not always fasten their safety belts when driving.
“Our message to parents is, hey, we are proving you some conditions to give your new drivers that may allow you to feel a little more comfortable in giving them the car more often,” said Jim Buczkowski, Ford’s director of electronic and electrical systems engineering.
More than 5,000 US teens die each year in car crashes. The rate of crashes, fatal(致命的) and nonfatal, per mile driven for 16-year-old drivers is almost 10 times the rate for drivers aged 30 to 59, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
The new feature, called “MyKey”, will be standard on an unspecified number of Ford models when the new models come out late next summer. The feature will spread to the entire Ford, Lincoln and Mercury Lineup as models are updated, spokesman Wes Sherwood said.
The company already uses computer chips in its keys to prevent thefts. The car won’t start unless it recognizes the chip in the key.
“It’s making use of existing technology, and through the magic of software, we’re able to build features on top of the features we already have,” Buczkowski said.
1.According to the passage, MyKey can ______.
A. limit speed and prevent thefts
B. adjust the audio system’s volume
C. remind drivers to answer the phone
D. help drivers wear a seat belt
2.According to Jim Buczkowski, MyKey ______.
A. helps parents feel more comfortable in their cars
B. provides parents more chances to get along with children
C. helps parents feel less worried when giving cars to children
D. discourages parents from giving cars to their children more often
3.From the passage, we can learn that ______.
A. teens often drive 10 times faster than adults
B. many parents think their children drive too fast
C. Ford will take over Lincoln and Mercury Lineup
D. MyKey has nothing to do with existing technology
4.Ford Motor Company’s new car key may be most welcomed by ______.
A. teens B. passengers C. parents D. policemen

Next week California will try to take cell phones from the hands of drivers, telling everyone from millionaires to workers that conversations behind the wheel must be on an earphone.
Californians interviewed by Reuters mostly supported the law requiring hands﹣free phones in cars and banning cell phones entirely for drivers under 18, which will take effect on Tuesday, though they were puzzled by a loophole(漏洞) that allows seemingly more dangerous text messaging. Some were doubtful about lawmakers, who they blamed for failing to build more freeways or public transportation in the face of increasingly crowded roads in the nation's most populous state and said hands﹣free conversations were not safer.
KFI﹣AM radio talk﹣show host John Kobylt told Reuters. "It's stupid because we've one over about seven different studies and each one of them says it's the conversation that distracts you, not holding the phone."
State Senator Joe Simitian, who introduced the bill, said keeping both hands on the wheel was always safer. He expected his law to save hundreds of lives. The Democratic lawmaker was considering introducing a new law to ban text messaging in the car, which he said wasn't an issue when he began working on the first one in 2001.
Connecticut, New Jersey and New York have already banned drivers from talking on hand﹣held cell phones. In New Jersey, police have issued 35,000 tickets for using a hand﹣held phone or texting while driving since the law went into effect on March 1.
But Californians interviewed by Reuters expressed ambivalence."On the one hand I don't want to see people crash into each other, but I'm not going to get an ear thing." 38﹣year﹣old bank employee Jason Fischer said in Los Angeles.
1.We can infer from Paragraph 2 that .
A. most Californians hate to use an earphone while making a call in the car
B. public transportation in California isn't developed enough
C. in New Jersey few people use a hand﹣held phone
D. most of Californians are probably against the new law
2.According to John Kobylt, .
A. all the lawmakers are stupid
B. holding the phone is safer than using an earphone
C. it isn't dangerous to make a phone call while driving
D. it is the phone conversation while driving that is really dangerous
3.What will State Senator Joe Simitian probably do in the future?
A. He will suggest a law to forbid text messaging while driving
B. He will conduct a new survey among Californians
C. He will suggest building more roads in California
D. He will suggest a law to completely ban cell phones while driving
4.The underlined word "ambivalence" in the last paragraph probably refers to .
A. a positive attitude
B. a negative attitude
