问题    Maybe ten-year-old Elizabeth put it best when she said to her father, "But, Dad, you can’t be healthy if you’ re dead. "
   Dad, in a hurry to get home before dark so he could go for a run, had forgotten to wear his safety belt—a mistake 75% of the US population make every day. The big question is why.
   There have been many myths about safety belts ever since their first appearance in cars some forty years ago. The following are two of the most common.
   Myth Number One: Safety belts "trap" people in cars that are burning or sinking in water.
   Truth: Sorry, but studies show that people knocked unconscious due to not wearing safety belts have a greater chance of dying in these accidents. People wearing safety belts are usually protected to the point of having a clear head to free themselves from such dangerous situation, not to be trapped in them.
   Myth Number Two: Safety belts aren’t needed at speeds of less than 30 miles per hour(mph).
   Truth: When two cars traveling at 30 mph hit each other, an unbelted driver would meet the windshield with a force equal to diving headfirst into the ground from a height of 10 meters.
Why did Elizabeth say to her father, "But, Dad, you can’t be healthy if you’re dead"?

选项 A、He was driving at great speed.
B、He was running across the street.
C、He didn’ t have his safety belt on.
D、He didn’ t take his medicine on time.

答案C

解析 推理判断题。从文章第二段可知,父亲急于在天黑前赶回家跑步,而忘了 系上安全带。由此可推知,小女孩这样说是因为她爸爸没有系上安全带。故选C。
