Mobile phones should be banned from cars altogether, according to Dr Hole, senior lecturer in psychology, Dr Hole has emphasized the worrying combination of mobile phones and cars in his new book, The Psychology of Driving.
Mobile phones, fatigue（疲劳）, eyesight, drugs and age are among the issues considered by Dr Hole as he examines the factors that influence on driving. The book explores the role of each of these elements in increasing the chances of an accident and was inspired by the author’s conversations with road safety experts across the country.
He says: “The
government should have banned mobile phones in cars altogether. It has sent out
the wrong message by forbidding hand-held phones because this gives the
impression that hands-free phones are safe. The problem with mobile phones is
not vehicular（车辆的）control and only having one hand on the wheel,
but rather it is taking away attention from what is happening outside the car.”
Myths（荒诞的说法）about older people making worse drivers and claims（说法）about an improved reaction time among younger people are explored in the book. Questions about how drivers decide what to attend to while driving, the role of a driver’s expectations in determining what they see and how they respond to the road are among the areas covered in the book. Satellite navigation systems and new design aimed at transforming cars into a mobile office, are among the modern developments which he says now compete for driver’s attention behind the wheel.
Dr Hole says: “We need to be very careful about how we go about handling modern technology in cars, because we are opening a Pandora’s Box. When anyone is driving there is a lot of information outside the car and if there is too much going on inside, then there is a danger of overloading the driver.”
1. Dr Hole’s strong belief that mobile phones should be banned from cars lies in___________.
A. the inconvenience of having only one hand on the wheel caused by mobile phones
B. the correct message of getting rid of hand-held phones sent out by the government
C. the increase of chances of accidents
D. the advice given by some road safety experts
2. Which of the following is not included in his book?
A. Hand-free phones are safer than hand-held phones.
B. What drivers have to attend to while driving.
C. Whether older age and slower reaction is related.
D. Bad eyesight is one of the factors of causing an accident.
3. Which of the following is true?
A. Older people are better at preventing accidents.
B. younger drivers’ reaction time is relatively shorter.
C. It is a myth that some old people can still drive.
D. A driver’s expectations are not covered in the book.
4. What can we know from the underlined sentence?
A. What is going on outside is of equal importance to what inside.
B. Modern developments call for drivers’ attention behind the wheel.
C. Satellite navigation systems require more cars as mobile offices.
D. Modern technology is responsible for the distraction（分心）of one’s attention while driving.
I told my friend Graham that I often cycle two miles from my house to the town centre but unfortunately there is a big hill on the route．He replied,“You mean fortunately．”He explained that I should be glad of the extra exercise that the hill provided．
My attitude to the hill has now changed．I used to grumble as I approached it but now I tell myself the following．This hill will exercise my heart and lungs．It will help me to lose weight and get fit．It will mean that I live longer．This hill is my friend．Finally I comfort myself with the thought of all those silly people who pay money to go to a gym and sit on stationery exercise bicycles when I call get the same value for free．I have a smile of satisfaction as I reach the top of the hill．
Problems are there to be faced and overcome．We cannot achieve
anything with an easy life．Helen Keller was the first deaf and blind person
to gain a university degree．Her activism and writing proved inspirational．She
wrote，“Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet．Only
through experiences of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened，vision
cleared，ambition inspired and success
achieved.” 
One of the main determinants of success in life is our attitude towards adversity(逆境)．From time to time we all face hardships，problems．accidents、afflictions and difficulties．Some are of our making but many confront us through no fault of our own．While we cannot choose the adversity we can choose our attitude towards it．
Douglas Bader was 21 when in 193l he had both legs cut off following a flying accident．He was deter-mined to fly again and went on to
become one of the leading flying aces in the Battle of Britain with 22 aerial
victories over the Germans．He was an inspiration to others during the war．He
said,“Don't listen to any-one who tells you that you can’t do this or that．That's
nonsense．Make up your mind，you'll never use
crutches(拐杖)or a stick，then have a go at
everything．Go to school，join in all the
games you can．Go anywhere you want to．But
never，never let them persuade you that things are too difficult
or impossible.”
The biographies（传记）of great people are full of examples of how they took steps to overcome the difficulties they faced．The common thread is that they did not become depressed．They chose their attitude．They chose to be positive．They took on the challenge．They won．
Nevertheless．there is still the problem of how you change your attitude towards adversity．
1. Which of the following is true according to the author of the passage?
A．Climbing hills on bicycles is the best way to take exercise．
B．People are silly to pay to go to the gym．
C．Those who want to achieve success can't expect to live all easy lire．
D．People's attitude towards adversity is the only factor that determines whether they will succeed．
2．By quoting what Douglas Bader said，the author intends to tell us“___________．”
A．Failure is the mother of Success．
B．A fall into the pit，a gain in your wit．
C．If you venture nothing，you will have nothing．
D．Nothing is difficult to the man who will try．
3．Following this passage，the author will further talk about___________．
A．how his friend helped him to change his attitude towards the adversity he faced
B．what steps to take to change your attitude towards the adversity you face
C．what great people have in common
D．why it is important to keep optimistic in face of adversity
4．Which of the following can best function as the title of the passage?
A．Face adversity with a smile B．Different attitudes towards adversity
C．Nothing is impossible D．Life is full of adversity
Australians have been warned they face a life or death decision over their water—drink recycled sewage(污水)or die．
With the drought(干旱)continuing，the country is set to be forced to use purified(净化的)waste water for drinking．even though there is great opposition to the measure．
Queensland has become the first state to introduce tile policy after a warning from its premier．
“I think in the end，because of the drought，all of Australia is going to end up drinking recycled purified water．”said Peter Beattie．
“These are difficult decisions，but you either drink water or you die．There’s no choice．It’s liquid gold．It’s a matter of life and death．”
Beanie said Australia's second largest state would become the first to use recycled water for drinking．
Water is recycled in Britain and pans of northern Europe along with the US and Israel．
But Australians have never liked the idea．
To try to change the way Australians think，Prime Minister．John Howard and Environment Minister Malcolm Turnbull have adhered to Queensland’s move．
“I am very strongly for recycling and Mr．Beattie is right and I agree with him completely．”Howard said．
“Australian cities．all now facing water shortages because of the worst drought on record．must start to use recycled water．”added Turnbull．“All of our big cities have to widen tile range of water sources to include sources which are not dependent on rainfall．”
1．According to the passage，which of the following is TRUE?
A．Nobody disagrees to the idea of drinking recycled purified water
B．Australia’s second largest state has become tile first state to introduce the policy
C．No other countries but Australia decide to drink recycled water
D．The drought is tile worst one in tile droughts recorded in Australian history．
2．What call we learn from the last paragraph?
A．Australians have never like drinking purified waste water
B．Australians should develop more water sources to live through the hard time
C．Australians can’t depend upon rainwater，which is not suitable for drinking．
D．Australian government has no ability to solve the problem of water shortage
3．The underlined phrase“adhered to”in Paragraph 9 probably means
A．disliked B．gone against C．supported D．doubted
4．It can be inferred from what Premier Peter Beattie said that
A．he gives orders to drink purified waste water
B．It is painful for him to see his people drink recycled sewage
C．If the decision is made，people won’t survive the drought
D．It’s up to you to either make a life or death decision
