27、Now several cities and states are considering passing laws when it comes to people who walk while texting (发短信). A law passed in Honolulu allows police officers to fine pedestrians(行人) between $15 and $99 for staring at their phones while crossing the street.
“Unluckily, we’re a major city with more pedestrians on the crosswalks, particularly our old people, than almost any other city in the country,” said Honolulu mayor Kirk Caldwell at a meeting. “So, passing a law is necessary and timely.”
The town of Montclair, California, took it one step further and passed a law making it illegal to talk, text or use earbuds (耳塞) on the phone when crossing the street. For the first time, people will be given a warning, and after that, the fine is $ 100. What’s more, farther north in Ontario, under the “Phones Down, Heads Up Act”, pedestrians can be fined if caught crossing the road while holding and using the phones. Fines start at $ 50.
This movement to pass such laws has a reason: Pedestrian deaths are on the rise. According to the National Safety Council, there were 5,987 pedestrian deaths—the highest number since 1990. This problem isn’t new, nor is it limited to deaths. There are a rising number of injuries from texting while crossing a street.
According to research, texing resulted in a higher rate of incidents than failure to look right or left when crossing. By comparison, talking on the phone led to only a slight increase of accidents and listening to music had no influence on safety. The results were published in the journal Injury Prevention.
So, in the opinion of David Canepa, a member of the Board of Supervisors in San Mateo Country, California, the government should tell people where to look when they’re walking down the street. He said, “At the end of the day, people will understand the value of public safety. Making the laws will save lives.”
【1】What is Kirk Caldwell trying to talk about in the second paragraph?
A．The increasing traffic accidents.
B．People’s dependence on phones.
C．The reason for passing the law.
D．Old people’s bad situation.
【2】What do we know about pedestrians using phones on crosswalks?
A．All of them will receive a warning first.
B．They’re fined at most 50 dollars in Ontario.
C．They’re fined at most 99 dollars in Honolulu.
D．They’re fined more than 100 dollars in California.
【3】Which of the following is most dangerous according to research?
A．Texting while crossing roads.
B．Making calls when crossing roads.
C．Enjoying music when crossing roads.
D．Crossing roads without looking left or right.
【4】What can we infer about David Ganepa’s opinion on the laws?
A．They are hard to understand.
B．They are helpful for people.
C．They are against people’s wishes.
D．They are well received by pedestrians.

29、Well, parents, surprise! Lots of us are using Twitter and Facebook to thumb rides, and not just to school. It’s awkward to be refused when you call a friend and ask for a ride. But with Twitter, you just look for other people heading the same way.
It may sound risky, so many teens stay within their own social circles to find rides, and don’t branch out beyond friends when asking on Twitter just like me, but to some young people, especially those taking longer trips, stranger danger is less of a concern.
“I think the digital connection of young people is really important, because younger generations grew up sharing things on line, sharing files, photos, music, etc, so they’ve been very used to sharing,” said Juliet Schor, a sociology professor at Boston College.
The sharing economy got big during the recession (经济衰退), allowing people to access more goods, services using technology and even to share costs. And that technology, for me, is what the car was for my mom, a gateway to more freedom, like what my friend Earl says, “The symbol of freedom isn’t the car any more because there’s technology out there connecting you to a car.”
According to the researchers at the University of Michigan, 30 years ago, eight in ten American 18-year-olds had a driver’s license compared to six in ten today. So it’s not that surprising that on my 16th birthday I wasn’t rushing to get a license but an iPhone.
“Driving, for young people, does mean they have to disconnect from their technology, and that’s a negative. So if they could sit in the passage side and still be connected, that’s going to be a plus.” Schor continued.
To me, another plus is that ridesharing represents something, something much bigger than trying to save money. I see it as evidence that people still depend on each other. My generation shares their cars and apartments the way neighbors used to share cups of sugar. For the system to work, some of us still need our own cars. But until I get my own version of the silver Super Beetle, you can find me on Twitter.
【1】The American teens prefer to possess an iPhone as a birthday gift because ______.
A. it is most fashionable and cool B. they are bored with driving cars
C. they are fond of being connected D. it is much cheaper than a car
【2】We can learn from the text that ______.
A. Twitter is a website for teens to make friends and achieve goals
B. ridesharing can be seen as a sign that people still count on each other
C. drwing cars for teens means a plus and connecting with technology
D. having a car and cost-sharing symbolize more freedom for the author’s mother
【3】Professor Juliet would agree that ______.
A. young people will sit waiting to be contacted by reading a passage
B. sharing economy is bound to be responsible for the recession
C. young people tend to share a car with strangers by means of Twitter
D. being connected via technology comes first for young people
【4】The best title for the passage is probably ______.
A. Twitter, an Awesome Website B. Cars or iPhone
C. Teens Use Twitter to Thumb Rides D. Cool Teens on the Go
