Ⅴ. Read the following passage and then tick the answers.
“Click!” That’s the sound of safety. That’s the sound of a seat belt locking in place. Seat belts save lives and that’s a fact. That’s why I don’t drive anywhere until mine is locked. Choosing to wear your seat belt is as simple as choosing between life and death. Which one do you choose?
Think about it. When you’re driving in a car down the road. You may be going 80 km an hour or faster. Then somebody ahead of you locks up his or her brakes (刹车). You don’t have time to stop. Your car knocks into that one. Now it has suddenly stopped. Your body, however, is still going 80 km an hour. What’s going to stop your body? Will it be the windshield (挡风玻璃) or your seat belt? Every time you get into a car, you make that choice. I choose the seat belt.
Some people think that seat belts are uncool. They think that seat belts are uncomfortable. To them I say, what’s more uncomfortable? Wearing a seat belt or flying through a car windshield? What’s more uncool? Being protected by your car, or flying down to the road in your jean shorts? Wearing a seat belt is both cooler and more comfortable.
How about giving money away? Do you want to give your money away? Probably not. And when you don’t wear your seat belt, you are beginning to give your money away. If you’re riding in a car, and you don’t have a seat belt on, the police can give you or your driver a ticket. I’d rather keep my money, but you can spend yours whatever you want.
