Parents in three Midwestern states will soon know just how good or bad their kids' driving is when their children take the car for a spin (疾駛).

Starting today, American Family Insurance is offering customers with teen drivers free cameras that record what happens when a sudden change in the car's movement occurs.

The cameras record the action inside and in front of the car in 20 - second audio - video clips (剪輯). The clips are then transmitted to Drive Cam, a San Diego company that analyzes the clips for risky behavior.

Among things the analysts look for is the response time of the drivers and if they are paying attention to the road. Parents can receive a report on their kids' driving and view the clips on a home computer.

Car accidents are the leading cause of death among U. S. teens, according to the NHTSA

(National Highway Traffic Safety Administration).

"There will be fewer accidents," Rick Fetherston, vice president at American Family said of the new system. American Family will test the system out by offering it for free for one year to 30.000 families in Wisconsin, Indiana and Minnesota to see whether the system results in fewer accidents. If the system is proven to prevent accidents, customers who volunteer to use it might see their insurance premiums (保險(xiǎn)費(fèi)) drop. The company would not be viewing the videos or individual score cars, unless there is an accident.

Bruce Moeller, president of Drive Cam, says his company's system is already being used by companies with lots of cars. "Some of our customers are reporting a 30% to 90% reduction in their risky driver events," Moeller says.

But a lawyer in Minneapolis says. "If I felt I needed a camera in the car to watch over my kids, I shouldn't be letting them drive."

American Family tested the system in two high schools in Minnesota and Wisconsin.

Megan Ireland, 17, said the camera caught her stopping too late and taking turns too fast. The student at Prior Lake High School in Savage, Minn., said she didn't like it because she felt it invaded her privacy (侵犯隱私) but has warmed up to the system. "Now I don't really have a problem with it because it's made me a better driver," she says. "For real."

第三部分：閱讀理解（共20小題；每小題2分,滿分40分）

When Chato's barking didn't stir Jerrica Seals, the recently adopted dog triednibbling on the teenager's leg, to get the girl out of her burning house.

No one was hurt. Fort Myers firefighters responded at about 7 a.m.

Five people lived in the Garcia home. That was neighbor Janice Hamilton's main concern when she looked out of her window Friday and saw the flames. "I just threw my pants on to run outside and make sure  they knew how many people lived there," Hamilton said. "It was scary."

"Seals called me screaming," said Leticia Vega, 36, the sister of Seal's boyfriend, Javier Garcia, 23, who owns the home. "She said the dog woke her up barking, jumped on the bed and bit her on the leg."

It is said that Garcia's brother brought Chato home several weeks ago after the animal wandered onto a Lehigh Acres construction site. Since then, Vega said, Chato had been mostly quiet－until it mattered. "He doesn't usually bark." Vega said. "He's real friendly."

According to deputy fire chief Steve Clyatt, possibly the fire started because of an inadequate extension cord used on a window air conditioner. More than half of the home was burned down. There was extensive smoke and water damage in the remainder of the structure. Estimates for repair costs were unavailable. "I'd say it's unlikely they will recover this, but I've been surprised before," Clyatt said.

61.Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?

       A. Janice Hamilton Helps Save Neighbors

       B. Firefighters Put Out House Fire

63.By saying "I'd say it's unlikely they will recover this, but I've been surprised before." in the last paragraph, Clyatt means________.

       A. it's a wonder that Seals survived the fire  B. the house was badly damaged

       C. such a bad fire was seldom seen      D. Chato is a very clever dog

64.According to the passage, which of the following is NOT mentioned?

       A. The person who called the firefighters.    B. The possible cause of the accident.

       C. The relationship between Seals and Garcia.     D. The owner of the house.
