At a speed of only 30 miles per hour it is the same as falling from a third floor window. Wearing a seat belt (安全带)saves lives; it reduces your chance of death or serious injury by more than half.Therefore drivers or front seat 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 (责任)to make sure that children under 14 do not ride in the front unless they are wearing seat belt of some kind.However, you do not have to wear a seat belt if you are reversing (倒退)your vehicle or you are making a local delivery (发送)or collection using a special vehicle; or if you have a valid medical certificate which excuses you from wearing it. Make sure these circumstances (情形)apply to you before you decide not to wear you r 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.Question: This text is taken from _____.A. a medical magazineB. a police reportC. an advertisement (广告)D. a government information booklet (小册子)Have you ever dreamed of having a fashionable watch of great value?A small watchmaker in Switzerland in 1922 designed the first automatic(自动的)watch to show the day, month, and date, Only seven of these splendid watches were ever made and these watches were almost lost to history.

After getting settledfinally in Brunswick, New Jersey, I enrolled(注册) my son in kindergarten. Several weeks later, my son‟s teacher asked me to meet him at his office.In the teacher‟s office, and exchange of greetings was followed by his questions: “Is your son mentally retarded(弱智的)?Does he suffer from any kind of mental disability?”Was he talking about my wonderful Scola? NO, no, it can‟t be. What a helpless, lonely moment! I told him that Scola was a quiet, sweet little boy, instead. I asked him why he was asking me all these questions.My son could not follow the teacher‟s directions, he told me, and thus, Scola was disrupting the class. Didn‟t he know my son did not speak English yet?He was angry; “Why hasn‟t your son been taught to speak English? Don‟t you speak English at home?”No, I didn‟t speak English at home, I replied. I was sure my son would learn English in a couple of months, and I didn't want him to forget his native language. Well, wrong answer! What kind of person would not speak in English to her son at home and at all time? “Are you one of those people who come to this country to save dollars and send them back to their country, never wanting to be a part of this society?”Needless to say, I tried to tell him I was not one of “those people.”Then he told me the meeting was over, and I left.As I had expected, my son learned to speak English fluently before the school year was over. He went on to graduate from college and got a job, earning close to six figures. He travels widely and leads a well-adjusted, contented life. And he has benefited from being bilingual(双语的)。
