I hate driving. I hate the traffic, the confusing design of highways in my city and the long periods of sitting with nothing tc do but listen to the radio. Besides, I am a nervous, slow driver, fearful of other cars and distracted drivers.
But I live in a spacious Southwestern city with limited public transportation and intense heat that makes long-distance walking or biking tough for much of the year. So driving is a fact of life for me.
My fears, though, have only been further confirmed by a sad series in The New York Times called "Driven to Distraction" about the dangers of using cellphones and of texting while driving. One article cited a new study, by the Virginia Tech Transportation Institute, which found that when truck drivers texted, their collision risk was 23 times greater than when not texting.
Another article cited research that drivers using phones are four times as likely to cause a crash as other drivers—and that driving while talking on a cell is akin(类似的)to being legally drunk. Hands-free devices, meanwhile, don’t eliminate these risks, according to studies. In fact, they may worsen them by giving drivers a false sense of security.
Because I’m such a weak driver, I try not to talk or answer my phone on the road unless it’s urgent or traffic is at a standstill(停止). But for many people, especially those with long commutes and important business to take care of, talking or texting while driving is common, and perhaps necessary. I am amazed by how man)interviews I’ve conducted for articles with subjects talking to me while driving: I can sometimes hear the sound of horns and the music of NPR(美国国家公共广播电台)turned down in the background.
According to The New York Times, what is the most dangerous behaviour while driving?
选项
A、Texting.
B、Making a cellphone call.
C、Being drunk on the road.
D、Talking with others.
答案
A
解析
由题干中的丁he New York Times定位到第三段。在该段中,作者引用了《纽约时报》的文章来说明开车时打电话或发短信的危险,其中提到卡车司机边发短信边开车时,撞车的风险比不发短信的司机高出23倍。在接下来的一段中,还提到开车时打电话的司机撞车的几率是其他司机的4倍,并声称打电话开车相当于酒后驾车。通过以上分析可以得出结论,开车发短信是最危险的,故答案为A)。
