Read the texts from a magazine article in which five persons talked about their attitude to helping the people in developing countries. For question 61 to 65, match the name of each person (61 to 65) to one of the statements given below, which is the summary of his or her speech. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1.
Sharon Brage:
I was walking in the shopping center when a car went straight on and knocked me over. That’s why I am in this hospital now. Although I was not in danger of life, yet the bones of both my legs are broken. Doctors say I might not be able to walk steadily afterwards. The driver was going too fast. High Street is a shopping centre, not a car racing place. There are old people and children crossing the street all the time. Cars should not be allowed into the shopping centre. Why should everybody suffer because a few selfish people are too lazy to walk to the shops?
Jack Bream:
Well, my sympathy to the lady who was hurt by my car in the shopping center. Yet what could I do? She stepped straight out of the shop and into the road without looking. I think she is lucky to be alive. I am actually a very careful driver and have never had any accident before. She should have used at least the zebra-crossing. I simply don’t understand these ladies with many bags and parcels in their arms and walk on as if there were no cars at all. The police should stop people from walking on the road. Roads are for cars, not for people.
George Forest:
Accidents like this happen all the time. When people are shopping, they think about nothing else. They forget about road safety altogether. The drivers are just as bad. They become impatient with traffic jams and parking problems make them careless. There is only one way to prevent accidents here, and that’s by banning cars from using High Street. This old town was built before the age of motor cars, so most of its streets are too narrow for heavy traffic. To protect the old buildings, we should build a by-pass to go around the shopping center and to divert the through traffic from it too. The situation in High Street calls for a special solution. Up until now, drivers have been allowed to come and go as they please. But every town needs traffic-free areas where people eau relax in peace and safety. Parks and shopping centers should be completely closed to all motor vehicles.
Joe Dixion:
These days everyone needs a car. It’s the cheapest, fastest, most comfortable way to get around. It’s especially convenient for shopping. Why wait in the rain for crowded buses and struggle with heavy parcels? Go by car. Of course there are traffic problems. That’s not because there are too many cars but because there are too few roads. The Government should spend a little of our tax money on widening High Street, building new highways and more car parks in the downtown area.
Herbert Rawlins:
Drivers are selfish. They only think of their own comfort and forget about the suffering they cause, other people. They poison our air with waste and gas. They shatter our ears with noise They wreck our nerves with dangerous driving. Beautiful old buildings are torn down to make room for car parks. The countryside is scarred with new highways. The society sacrifices too much for cars. Who actually benefits? Nobody. Not even the drivers themselves, because they suffer from poor health through lack of physical exercises and nervous tension.
Now match each of the persons (61 to 65 ) to the appropriate statement.
Note: there are two extra statements.
Statements
[A] Both the drivers and the people shopping should be responsible for the present situation in High Street.
[B] Cars are the bad things which do not do any people any good.
[C] What caused the accident and my suffering should be considered and dealt with to find a good solution.
[D] Even a careful driver can get into an accident.
[E] It is the Government who should take the responsibility not the people who have ears.
[F] We shouldn’t tear down our old buildings to build new roads. On the contrary, we should protect our old buildings.
[G] People shopping around in High Street should be careful of the traffic and use the zebra-crossing.
