21、My mother at 85 was quick, with good vision and sharp reaction for her age, but one day she knocked into three parked cars on a supermarket parking lot. We never found out exactly how it happened, but the investigators figured Mom hit the accelerator instead of the brake.
Mom was lucky, even though she spent two weeks in the hospital. But we unwillingly concluded that it was time to take away Mom’s car keys. Tears ran down her cheeks. I think she never felt old until that moment, when I took away the independence provided by the car.
In the days that followed, we suggested she take taxis to shop, but she wouldn’t do it. Fortunately, she lived in the city and quickly slipped into the habit of taking the bus. She began to enjoy her new life. But most old people have no convenient public transportation or shops within walking distance.
We seemed to have made a right decision. But is tragedy like that a reason to take away the car keys of the elderly? I think not. Age doesn’t necessarily prove anything. Slower reactions or not, senior citizens are much better than teenagers. They usually drive more slowly. They get honked at a lot, but their slower speed reduces the risk of death and destruction. The worst risk-takers on the highway are young men between the ages of 18 to 25, but no one suggests taking away their keys or raising the driving age to 26.
The death rate in the past year for motorists between 16 and 20, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, was more than double that for drivers over 70. The older citizen who tries to avoid danger is likely to take personal responsibility more seriously than a younger person who causes danger through partying and risk.
So, let Granny drive. Road age is a lot less dangerous than road rage.
【1】Why was Mom sad when her car keys were taken away according to the author?
A．She was misunderstood.
B．She had to walk to shop.
C．She realized she was old.
D．She was seriously injured.
【2】What did the author think of taking away Mom’s car keys finally?
A．Influential.
B．Unreasonable.
C．Meaningful.
D．Unimportant.
【3】Which of the following opinions does the author support?
A．It’s necessary to raise the driving age to 20.
B．People under 26 should be forbidden to drive.
C．Both senior and young drivers like taking risks while driving.
D．Seniors shouldn’t be banned from driving because of their age.
【4】What does the text mainly talk about?
A．The legal age for driving.
B．Why young drivers take risks.
C．The accident caused by Mom.
D．Whether the elderly can drive.
22、The New York Times——Stephen Hawking, the brightest star in the firmament(天空)of science, whose insights shaped modern cosmology(宇宙论)and inspired global audiences in the millions, has died aged 76. His family released a statement in the early hours of Wednesday morning confirming his death at his home in Cambridge. Hawking’s children, Lucy, Robert and Tim said in a statement: “We are deeply saddened that our beloved father passed away today.” “He was a great scientist and an extraordinary man whose work and legacy will live on for many years to come.
