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.
Some people prefer to drive without wearing a safety belt because they believe______.
选项
A、the belt prevents them from escaping in an accident
B、they will be unable to think clearly in an accident
C、they will be caught when help comes
D、cars catch fire easily
答案
A
解析
推理判断题。从文章第四段所讲的安全带认识的第一个误区“Safety belts ‘trap’people in cars that are burning or sinking in water.”可知,有些人认为安全带会 使人困在着火的或掉进水中的车里。由此可推知,A项正确。
