Drivers on the Basingstoke by-pass used to have their attention diverted (转移) by a sign that read: A MOMENT’S INATTENTION CAUSES ACCIDENTS. This self-defeating warning has now been removed, but its message is still very much to the point.
Almost anything can cause an accident, Apart from momentary inattention, it might be a minor miscalculation, a sudden cough, an argument with the wife, falling asleep at the wheel--all these make the difference between a tragic (悲剧的) hit and a lucky miss.
Although human error plays its part, it is by no means the only cause of accidents. There must be some cause other than simple human error. Road construction plays its part: re searchers have found that it is not at the obvious danger spots- sharp comers, cross-roads, narrow lanes--that accidents happen. It is on those roads where there are subtle (细微的) visual traps, unexpected changes in the shape or surface of the road, or even insufficient or badly placed signs. Wherever there is a "black spot", it means that something is seriously wrong with the road. Why else did the careless driving of so many come out at that particular spot?
When you have an accident, you are required by law to stop accident only if
1. somebody other than yourself in or outside your car has been injured.
2. a vehicle not your own has been damaged.
3. any horse, cow, donkey, sheep, or dog has been injured.
It has been said that if a driver continues unaware of causing injury he must be charged. But the courts are careful about that excuse. Furthermore, the car owner himself must wait at the scene; it is not enough for him to leave his driver or a friend to attend to the boring formal procedures while he goes off on more important business.
选项
A、it tells drivers not to go fast
B、it will distract the driver’s attention
C、it is too difficult to understand
D、it is too long to be read quickly
答案
B
解析
self-defeating意为“自相矛盾的。”这个告示牌一方面提醒司机注意安全;另一方面又分散了司机的注意力。
