     New York State has passed the USA's first state law banning (禁止) motorists talking on cell phones.
The ban will begin on November l, although drivers caught using cell phones will be given only warnings
during the first month.
     First-time violators (違法者) will face a $100 fine. A second-time call for a $200 fine and every violation
after that will cost $500. At least a dozen localities have established (制定) bans, starting in 1999; and 40 states
have had bans proposed but not passed.
     At least 23 countries, including Great Britain, Italy, Israel and Japan, ban drivers from using cell phones.
     There are about 115 million cell phones in use in the United States and more than 6 million in New York
State.
     "To think that I'm not going to use the cell phone when at the same time I can still use my laptop (手提電腦), I can still read a paper, and I can still change my pants while driving at 65 mph. I think there's just
something wrong," an official said.
     Other critics (批評(píng)) noted other things like eating, drinking coffee and doing make-up while driving. They
suggested that the ban include a broader range of things.

     Guess who is the most successful young writer in China? It is 24-year-old Guo Jingming, who
earned $ 1.4 million last year, according to the Ne.7u York Times.
     Guo started his writing career in high school when he won first prize in a national writing contest
in 2001. His first book, City of Fantasy, came out soon after the contest and went on to sell more than
1. 5 million copies.
    Almost all Guo's novels include a shy hero who gets good grades. He mostly writes about the sad
feelings of his young characters. These teenagers deal with loneliness by sitting alone for long hours
under trees and on rooftops. "Xiaosi(Guo's nickname), I will always be with you!" A reader wrote in
Guo's blog. "My main goal (目標(biāo)) is to tell the story well and have everyone like it," Guo said.
     In fact, Guo is seen more as an idol than as a writer. His handsome outlooking, cross-dressing and
strange actions make newspapers pay more attention to himself than his books. Many fans are eager to
get his autograph.
    But today he faces what may be more dangerous threat (威脅): even younger writers. The past few
years have seen the rise of a group of teenage writers, sometimes called the "Post-90s" generation.
However Guo seems to have plans to meet them. Next year, he will hold a national competition for
these rivals (對(duì)手).
l. Why is Guo Jingming the most successful young writer in China?    
A. Because he is the youngest writer.
B. Because he lives in New York.
C. Because he got the greatest achievement.
D. Because he likes writing novels.
2. When did he win his first prize?  
A. In primary school.    
B. In high school.
C. In college.          
D. After leaving school.
3. The word "idol" probably means "_____" in Chinese.
A. 年輕人    
B. 模特
C. 榜樣      
D. 偶像
4. Who will compete (競(jìng)爭(zhēng)) with G u o in the following years? 
A. Famous writers.
B. Some teenage writers called "Post-90s".
C. Some readers.
D. A shy hero.
5. Which is wrong according to the passage?  
A. There's a shy hero who gets good grades in most of his novels.
B. His first book sells well.
C. Guo wants to make every reader like his story.
D. He wants to earn money through the competition.
