问题     More than 30,000 drivers and front seat passengers are killed or seriously injured each year. At a speed of only 30 miles per hour it is the same as falling from a third-floor window. Wear a seat belt saves lives; it reduces your chance of death or serious injury by more than half.
    Therefore drivers or front passengers over 14 in most vehicles must wear a seat belt. If you do not, you could be fined up to $50. It will not be up to the drivers to make sure you wear your belt. But it will be the driver’ s responsibility to make sure that children under 14 do not ride in the front unless they are wearing a seat belt of some kind.
    However, you do not have to wear a seat belt if you are reversing(倒开)your vehicle; or you are making a local delivery or collection using a special vehicle ; or if you have valid(有效的)medical certificate which excuses you from wearing it. Make sure these circumstances apply to you before you decide not to wear your seat belt. Remember you may be taken to court for not doing so, and you may be fined if you cannot prove to the court that you have been excused from wearing it.
Wearing a seat belt in a vehicle______.

选项 A、reduces road accidents by more than half
B、saves lives while at a speed up to 30 miles per hour
C、reduces the death rate in traffic accidents
D、saves more than 15,000 lives each year

答案C

解析 答案在第一段的最后一句,“佩戴安全带可以拯救人们的生命;它可以将你严重受伤或者死亡的几率减低一半以上。”C项的含义是“减低交通事故中的死亡几率”,符合此句;A的含义是“减少路面事故数量一半以上”,佩戴安全带显然不能直接起这个作用;B的含义是“在行驶时速达到每小时30英里时可以救命”;D项的含义是“每年拯救多于15,000人的生命”,在文中找不到根据。
