There have been countless stories about this new and scary phenomenon, considered a type of aggressive driving. You have most likely encountered aggressive driving or Road Rage recently if you drive at all.While drunk driving remains a critical problem, the facts about aggressive driving are surely as disturbing. For instance, according to the National Highway Transportation Safety Association, 41,907 people died on the highway last year. Of those deaths, the agency estimates that about two-thirds were caused at least in part by aggressive driving behavior.Why is this phenomenon occurring more than ever now, and why is it something that seemed almost nonexistent a few short years ago? Experts have several theories, and all are probably partially correct. One suggestion is sheer overcrowding. In the last decade, the number of cars on the roads has increased by more than 11 percent, and the number of miles driven has increased by 35 percent. However, the number of new road miles has only increased by 1 percent. That means more cars in the same amount of space; and the problem is magnified in urban areas. Also, people have less time and more things to do. With people working and trying to fit extra chores and activities into the day, stress levels have never been higher. Stress creates anxiety, which leads to short tempers. These factors, when bined in certain situations, can spell Road Rage. You may think you are the last person who would drive aggressively, but you might be surprised. For instance, have you ever yelled out loud at a slower driver, sounded the horn long and hard at another car, or sped up to keep another driver from passing? If you recognize yourself in any of these situations, watch out!Whether you are getting angry at other drivers, or another driver is visibly upset with you, there are things you can do to avoid any major conflict. If you are easily influenced by Road Rage, the key is to discharge your emotion in a healthy way. If you are the target of another drivers rage, do everything possible to get away from the other driver safely, including avoiding eye contact and getting out of their way.63. ThefirstsentenceinPara.1impliesthat_. A.onemaybeangeredbymediareportsandwantstoavoidthemB.themediacoinedtheterm“RoadRage”onlyafewmonthsagoC.RoadRagehasreceivedmuchmediacoverageinthelastfewmonthsD.peoplenotinterestedinthemediaknowlittleaboutrecenthappenings64.

Sounding the horn when passing. D. Shouting at another driver.66. Thelastparagraphisintendedto_. A.tellpeoplehowtodealwithRoadRage B.informpeoplehowaggressivedriverscouldbe C.showpeoplehowtocontrolthemselveswhenangry D.warnpeopleagainsteyecontactwithanotherdriver DReading to dogs is an unusual way to help children improve their literacy skills. With their shining brown eyes, wagging tails, and unconditional love, dogs can provide the nonjudgmental listeners needed for a beginning reader to gain confidence, according to Intermountain Therapy Animals （ITA） in Salt Lake City. The group says it is the first program in the country to use dogs to help develop literacy in children, with the introduction of Reading Edueation Assistance Dogs（READ）. The Salt Lake City Public Library is sold on the idea. “Literacy specialists admit that children who read below the level of their fellow pupils are often afraid of reading aloud in a group, often have lower self-respect, and regard reading as a headache,” said Lisa Myron, manager of the childrens department. Last November, the two groups started “Dog Day Afternoon” in the childrens department of the main library. About 25 children attended each of the four Saturday-afternoon classes, reading for half an hour. Those who attended three of the four classes received a “pawgraphed” book at the last class. The program was so successful that the library plans to repeat it in April, according to Dana Thumpowsky, public relations manager. 67. What is mainly discussed in the text? A. Childrens reading difficulties. B. Advantages of raising dogs. C. Service in public library. D. A special reading program. 68. Specialists use dogs to listen to children reading because they think _. A. dogs are young childrens best friends B. children can play with dogs while reading C. dogs can provide encouragement for shy children D. children and dogs understand each other69. By saying “The Salt Lake City Public Library is sold on the idea”, the writer means the library _. A. uses dogs to attract children B. accepts the idea put forward by ITA C. has opened a childrens department D. has decided to train some dogs70. A “pawgraphed” book is most probably_. A. a book used in Saturday classes B. a book written by the childrenC. a prize for the children D. a gift from parents第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处得最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。What to do when an earthquake happens？If you are indoors, stay indoors unless you are in the ground floor where you can easily run outside. _71 Do not try to head for the stairway if you are living in an upper storey, as chances are that the stairways may fall down.Stay away from windows, inside walls and movable furniture. 72 Dont try to rush downstairs or outdoors while the building is shaking.
