Maybe ten-year-old Elizabeth put it best when she said to her father. “But Dad, you can't be healthy if you're dead.”
Dad , in a hurry to get home before dark so he could go for a run, had forgotten to wear his safety belt--a mistake 75% of the US population make every day. The big question is why.
There have been many myths about safety belts ever since their first appearance in cars some forty years ago. The following are three of the most common.
Myth( 神話)Number One: It's best to be “thrown clear” of a serious accident.
Truth: Sorry , but any accident serious enough to “throw you clear” is also going to be serious enough to give you a very bad landing. And chances are you'll have traveled through a windshield(擋風玻璃)or door to do it. Studies show that chances of dying after a car accident are twenty-five times greater in cases where people are “thrown clear.”
　　Myth Number Two: Safety belts “trap” people in cars that are burning or sinking in water.
　　Truth: Sorry again. but studies show that people knocked unconscious(昏迷) due to not wearing safety belts have a greater chance of dying in these accidents. People wearing safety belts are usually protected to the point of having a clear head to free themselves from such dangerous situations, not to be trapped in them.
　　Myth Number Three: Safety belts aren't needed at speeds of less than 30 miles per hour
　　Truth: when two cars traveling at 30 mph hit each other. An unbelted driver would meet the windshield with a force equal to diving headfirst into the ground from a height of 10 meters.
【小題1】Why did Elizabeth say to her father, “But. Dad, you can't be healthy if you're dead”?

A．He was driving at great speed.
B．He was running across the street.
C．He didn't have his safety belt on.

第三部分：閱讀理解（共20小題，每題2分，滿分40分）

閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個選項（A、B、C和D）中，選出最佳選項，并在答題卡上將該項涂黑。

French people pride themselves on their delicious foods, such as cheese, baguettes and croissants (two kinds of food). In fact, food is an important part of French culture. Families and friends spend hours over the dinner table each night. It is the opposite of the fast – food habit common in other parts of the West.

It’s the reason why the French are very angry that a McDonald’s is opening beneath Paris’s most famous museum: the Louvre (盧浮宮). The mew restaurant will be the 1,142 nd McDonald’s in France, and will open in the underground approach to the museum. But many French people can’t understand why this American chain is opening in the heart of French culture.

However, McDonald’s is paying no notice to the complaint. McDonald’s now has 31,000 chains worldwide. Tourists are hungry, and opening chains in tourist spots pays well.

There is another chain threatening France’s heritage. This time it is coffee rather than burgers. As more and more Starbucks open in Paris, traditional French cafes are forced to close.

The trouble with American companies opening chains throughout the world is the destructive effect they can have on a country’s culture. How can a small, independent coffee shop compete with the multi – billion dollar chain? You can go to a Starbucks in any city in the world, but you can only go to a Parisian café in France.

Responsibility is with the tourists. A McDonald’s wouldn’t open so near the Louvre if it weren’t not going to make money. Similarly, a Pizza Hut wouldn’t overlook (俯瞰) Egypt’s Great Pyramid if no one wants to sit in it. Maybe next time you visit the Great Wall, you should think twice before ordering a Cappuccino in the Starbucks.

51．Why are the French very angry when a McDonald’s is opening beneath the Louvre?

A．Because they will spend many hours in McDonald’s.

B．Because French food culture is very impressive.

C．Because they also have the fast – food habit.

D．Because they are proud of their own food.

52．The McDonald’s will be located in the underground approach to the museum because_______.

A．the complaints of the French are useless

B．opening a chain in tourist spot is rewarding

C．McDonald’s tends to be in the heart of culture

D．it will help to attract more tourists for the museum

53．What is the trouble with American companies opening chains all over the world?

A．The traditional stores of a country are forced to fight back.

B．The traditional stores of a country become dependant.

C．They have negative effect on a country’s culture.

D．The multi – billion dollar chain can’t be matched.

54．The author suggests that the tourists can_______.

A．decide whether the multiple stores of America are successful or not

B．order a Cappuccino in the Starbucks when they visit the Great Wall

C．sit in a Pizza Hut when they visit Egypt’s Great Pyramid

D．enter the McDonald’s when they visit the Louvre
