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.”

57. The camera is being offered to         by          free of charge now.

A. teen drivers; a company called Drive Cam

B. insurance companies; a San Diego company

C. families with teen drivers; an insurance company

D. American Family Insurance; the NHTSA

58. The camera is used to         .

A. record what the teen driver does while driving

B. prevent the teen drivers from speeding

59. Which of the following states is NOT true according to the passage?

A. Drive Cam will analyze the clips to find if the driver drives riskily.

B. All the students in Minnesota and Wisconsin don’t like the system.

C. The insurance company will never look at the clips or score cards of the customers.

D. If the system can reduce the number of accidents, the fees for insurance will be reduced.

60. The best title for this passage might be          .

A. Teens, drive carefully                   B. A free camera for kids

C. Cameras invade Privacy                D. Cameras keep watch on teen driving

Teen Dating can be fun if you are aware of its pros and cons and are also aware of the ways to protect yourself. There are a couple of suggestions you would like to know before you are out for dating.

Do not go out for dating with somebody whom you have seen only a few times and does not know much about him or her.

Before leaving on a date, know the exact plans for the evening and make sure a parent or friend knows these plans and what time to expect you home. Let your date know that you are expected to call or tell that person when you get in.

Similarly, if you leave a party with someone you do not know well, make sure you tell another person you are leaving and with whom. Ask a friend to call and make sure you arrive home safely.

No matter how good the person appears to you, trust your inner instincts（直感）. If a situation makes you uncomfortable, try to stay calm and think of a way to remove yourself from the situation without letting your date realize what is going on in your mind.

Be aware of your decreased ability to react under the influence of alcohol or drugs and keep yourself in control when out for a date.

Always stay firm, straightforward and clear in your relationships, thoughts, decisions and judgments. Never let a doubt come to your mind or face when out

for dating. If you are firm and clear in your communication, your date will always be careful in dealing with you.

You should think ahead about ways to be safe if you are in a dangerous or potentially（潛在）dangerous relationship. Adults, like parents, teachers, counselors, can be trusted in such cases.

53. Which of the following is forbidden when dating according to the passage?

A. Going out for dating with a stranger.

B. Knowing the plan for the evening.

C. Telling your parents about the date.

D. Telling the person you date that your parents know about the date.

54. The underlined word “date” in the third paragraph might mean         

A. a time        B. a plan            C. a person        D. a place

55. If you feel uncomfortable, you should NOT          .

D. trust yourself

To all of you at Chinese love links, I am 44 years old and never married. I have always wanted to find that perfect someone that I dream about. For about the last five years I have almost given up the hope of ever finding the one I truly wish to spend the rest of my life with.

I have always tried to be a nice guy. I had found your website some four or five months before. I did not know what to expect. I don’t know how to speak Chinese and never thought truly of how I was to an Asian woman.

Well, I had a lot of replies from some very nice and pretty women. I had a hard time finding only a couple to write to. But one stood out from the rest. She was cute, nice and seemed to hold a lot of the same values as I do. In a short time I had decided to write only to her. We communicated via e mails 2 3 times a day and phone calls once or twice a week.

I went and met her and her family only a week ago. Her name is Ying and she lives in Nanning. I found Nanning to be one of the most beautiful cities I had ever been to. We had even decided to marry and to bring her to the USA under the fiancée visa. Not only did she meet everything I had ever hoped to find in someone else but turned out to be what every woman should be like, at least the ones I have met. We plan to marry as soon as she is here and start a family together as neither of us has children but we both want them.

So to anyone out there reading this, I can only say this: You may not find what you are looking for if you’re not honest with your partner and yourself. This site worked for me mostly because I was honest with something that I wanted in someone else. When I did find her, love can work even across the other side of the world, between language differences and cultural differences. I wish you all luck in finding your perfect match. I have finally found mine and wishto give all my thanks to those at Chinese love links to help make it happen.

Sincerely yours,

Arthur
