His mother told me he was 37 then, but he had 46of a mind than a baby has. His “47 ” consisted of rough sounds—sounds of pleasure or anger and 48more. Mrs. West, then about 75, was a strong, capable woman, as she had to be, of course, because Frank 49on her entirely. He needed all the 50of a baby.

A recent study, which was published in last week’s Journal of the American Medical Association, offers a picture of how dangerous it is to get a lift from a teenage driver. Indeed, a 16-year-old driver with three or more passengers has three times the possibility of a serious accident, compared with a teenager driving alone.

The authors also found that the death rates for teenage drivers increased greatly after 10 p.m., and especially after midnight. With passengers in the car, the driver was even more likely to die in a late-night accident.

Robert Foss, a scientist at the University of North Carolina Highway Safety Research Center, says the higher death rates for teenage drivers have less to do with “really stupid behavior” than with just a lack of driving experience. “The basic issue is that adults who are responsible for giving out licenses fail to recognize how complex and skilled driving is.” he says.

Both he and the author of the study believe that the way to mitigate (使缓解) the problem is to have states set up so-called graduated licensing systems, in which getting a license is a process with several stages. A graduated license requires that a teenager first prove himself able to drive in the presence(在场)of an adult, followed by a period of driving with night of passenger restrictions (限制) before graduating to full driving rights.

Graduated licensing systems have reduced teenage driver crashes, according to recent studies.

1.Which of the following situations is most dangerous according to the passage?

A．Adults giving a lift to teenagers on the highway after 10 p.m.

B．Adults driving with three or more teenage passengers late at night.

C．A teenager driving after midnight with passengers in the car.

D．A teenager getting a lift from a stranger on the highway at midnight.

2.According to Robert Foss, the high death rate of teenage drivers is mainly due to _______.

A．their frequent driving at night              B．their lack of driving experience

C．their wrong way of driving                 D．their driving with passengers

3.According to Paragraph 3, which of the following statements is TRUE?

A．Teenagers should spend more time learning to drive.

B．Driving is a skill too complex for teenagers to learn.

C．Restrictions should be forced on teenagers demanding to take driving licenses.

D．The licensing department is partly responsible for teenagers’ driving accidents.

4.A suggested measure to be taken to reduce teenagers’ driving accidents is that ______.

A．driving in the presence of an adult should be made a rule

B．they should be forbidden to take on passengers

C．they should not be allowed to drive after 10 pm

D．the licensing system should be improved

Last week I was riding my special motorbike and then stopped at a convenience store. As I was getting my wheelchair off the back, a man watched me from his car and I noticed a wheelchair in his back seat. We spoke for a moment and I asked him about the wheelchair. He answered that it was for his daughter. “Well, do you think she would like to go for a ride on my motorbike with me?” I asked. He seemed shocked that a total stranger would ask him this. He thought about it for a second and said, “OK, as long as I can follow you.”

He introduced me to Amy and he sat her on my back seat. Her father followed me for a few miles and she talked non-stop about what she wanted for Christmas.

As we came back to the convenience store, she said, “This ride is the best Christmas present I could ever receive. I have been in a wheelchair my whole life and didn’t know I could do this.” I told her about some of the other things I do (ski, travel the world by myself, etc.). As her father was taking her off my bike, she turned to him and said, “Oh Daddy, I’m going to be OK. Mr. Bryant does all kinds of things, and I will too.” Her father turned away as a tear of joy rolled down his cheek. He hugged me and said, “I was sitting here praying for a gift for Amy that would encourage her. She often felt that her life was dull compared to other children. God answered my prayer just now. Now I pray that God will bless you for your gift to Amy today.” I believed what he said. Being kind and thoughtful to others, we can be an answer to prayer.
