    　　Hundreds of new drivers taken to the road and traffic accidents can be seen easily in many cities every day．According to a report from the authority, more than 80％ of the traffic accidents were caused by new drivers last year．Another shocking report from some Traffic Departments in Hangzhou says： more than half of the traffic accidents and deaths in the area for the first ten months of last year involved new drivers．

    　　So how to avoid the accident?For almost all new drivers, they would try a way of using signs in their car windows like “I’m new”, “New on the road, pay attention” or “Don’t kiss me, I’m shy” so that they could get much sympathy(同情)from other drivers．But since a new rule on driver safety took effect in Shenzhen on March 30, 2004, new drivers in Shenzhen can’t do that any longer．Although the signs are cute, they could get you a 100-yuan fine(罚款)．So new drivers in Shenzhen find themselves under more pressure now for the new rules．

    　　Why are signs not allowed to be used by new drivers?One of the reasons is that some experienced drivers think those funny or “creative” signs sometimes attract their attention．When they are out of mind, traffic accidents will happen and some think the signs can block(遮挡)the drivers’ view so they can’t see the road clearly．However, most new drivers point that driving at a high speed is the main reason for traffic accident．

    　　Even though they have the license, the new drivers haven’t improved much and got enough experience．So I think it’s not such a bad thing to put those signs up．On the contrary, both experienced drivers and new drivers may benefit(受益)．For experienced drivers they’re a warning; for new drivers they’re a kind of safety screen．

    　　Examples that show new drivers involve more traffic accidents than experienced drivers：

    Example 1．(1)________

    Example 2．In Hangzhou, more than half of them for the first ten months of last year were caused by new drivers．

    What do most new drivers do to avoid the accident?

    (2)________

    Experienced driver’s opinions about that：

    First： The signs attract their attention．

    Second：(3)________

    Then a new rule took effect in Shenzhen．Signs are not allowed to be used by new drivers．

    However, what is the author’s opinion?

    (4)He thinks ________

    　　Why doesn’t the unemployment rate ever reach zero? Economists, who generally believe that supply tends to meet demand, have long thought about this question. Even in good times, i.e. not now, there are people who can’t find work. And even in bad times, i.e. now, there are job openings. With over 14 million people out of work and looking for a job, you would think every available job would be filled. But that’s not the case. Not now and not ever.
    　　On Monday, the Nobel Prize committee awarded the prize for economics to the three scholars who have done the most to explain this phenomenon. Two of the winners are Americans, Peter Diamond of MIT and Dale Mortensen of Northwestern. The third winner is Christopher Pissarides, who teaches at the London School of Economics and was born on Cyprus.
    　　Like most of economics, what they have found about why the jobless and ready-employers don’t find each other seems obvious. You have to find out there is job opening you are interested in. Employers need to get resumes （简历）. It takes a while for both employers and employees to make the decision that this is what they want. And these guys came up with a frame-work to study the problem of why people stay unemployed longer than they should and what can be done about it.
    　　So what would today’s Nobel Prize winners do to solve the current problem of the unemployed? And does the awarding of the prize contribute to the politicians’ lowering joblessness?
    　　Speaking from his north London home, Pissarides told The Associated Press the announcement came as “a complete surprise” though his work had already helped shape thinking on both sides of the Atlantic.
    　　For example, the New Deal for Young People, a British government policy aimed at getting 18-24-year-olds back on the job market after long periods of unemployment, “is very much based on our work,” he said.
    　　“One of the key things we found is that it is important to make sure that people do not stay unemployed too long so they don’t lose their feel for the labor force,” Pissarides told reporters in London. “The ways of dealing with this need not be expensive training – it could be as simple as providing work experience.”
    【小题1】According to the writer, which is true about finding jobs?

    A．It is always difficult to find a job.
    B．Everyone can find a job in good times.
    C．Contrary to popular belief, it is easier to find a job in bad times.
    D．It is possible to find a job even in times as bad as now.
    【小题2】 What is it that leads to their winning the prize?
    A．They have found the reason for unemployment.
    B．They have put forward a set of ideas to deal with unemployment.
    C．They have found out why people don’t want to be employed.
    D．They have long studied the problem of unemployment.
    【小题3】Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?
    A．Pissarides thinks his work surprising.
    B．The work of Pissarides has influenced many economists.
    C．Some of the winners’ ideas have been put into practice.
    D．It is probable that unemployed young people in Britain benefit from Pissarides’ work.
    【小题4】 According to Pissarides, _________ is effrctive in dealing with unemployment.
    A．spending large sums of money on training
    B．teaching some knowledge of economics
    C．providing work experience
    D．keeping people unemployed for some time

    Rising above the names

    　　 I was shopping in the supermarket when I heard a young voice.

    　 “Mom，come here！There's this lady here my size！”

    　　 The mother rushed to her son；then she turned to me to apologize.

    　　 I smiled and told her，“It's okay.”Then I talked to the boy，“Hi，I'm Darryl Kramer.How are you？”

    　　 He studied me from head to toe，and asked，“Are you a little mommy？”

    　 “Yes，I have a son，”I answered.

    　 “Why are you so little？”he asked.

    　 “It's the way I was born，”I said.“Some people are little.Some are tall.I'm just not going to grow any bigger.”After I answered his other questions，I shook the boy's hand and left.

    　　 My life as a little person is filled with stories like that.I enjoy talking to children and explaining why I look different from their parents.

    　　 It takes only one glance to see my uniqueness.I stand three feet nine inches tall.I was born an achondroplasia dwarf(侏儒)．Despite this，I did all the things other kids did when I was growing up.

    　　 I didn't realize how short I was until I started school.Some kids picked on me，calling me names.Then I knew.I began to hate the first day of school each year.New students would always stare at me as I struggled to climb the school bus stairs.

    　　 But I learned to smile and accept the fact that I was going to be noticed my whole life.I decided to make my uniqueness an advantage rather than a disadvantage.What I lacked in height，I made up for in personality.

    　　 I'm 47 now，and the stares have not diminished as I've grown older.People are amazed when they see me driving.I try to keep a good attitude.When people are rude，I remind myself，“Look what else I have－a great family，nice friends.”

    　　 It's the children's questions that make my life special.I enjoy answering their questions.My hope is that I will encourage them to accept their peers(a person of the same age，class，position，etc.)，whatever size and shape they come in，and treat them with respect.

    1．Why did the mother apologize to the author?

    A．Because the boy ran into the author.

    B．Because the boy laughed at the author.

    C．Because the boy said the author was fatter than him.

    D．Because the mother thought the boy's words had hurt the author.

    2．When did the author realize that she was too short?

    A．When she grew up.

    B．When she was 47 years old.

    C．When she began to go to school.
