C
If asked if space exploration should continue,most Americans would give an immediate response either in favor of continuing or in favor of ending space exploration.A common response would be that space exploration is a waste of money.An average American,uneducated on the subject,might believe that the government is wasting billions of dollars on the research that has no merit.Someone strange to the subject might say that a space shuttle goes up once in a while and that is about all that happens.Research is ongoing and continues when there are no shuttles being launched.This also costs the government money.Does the extreme cost of space exploration make sense?
One argument is that the government is wasting money on the research not being used on Earth.Actually,the money goes to workers and scientists that support National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) missions (任务),and goes to major companies that play important roles in major sectors of the US economy.Boeing is a partner of NASA for aircraft,the same company that makes commercial aircraft for the airline industry.
Another benefit to continuing space exploration is the many spinoff (衍生的) technologies it provides.The artificial heart resulted from experiments on the space shuttle.The handheld Jaws of Life used to save victims from car accidents originated from the system used to separate the space shuttle from its booster rockets.Insulation in homes that keeps them warm and energy efficient is based on the technology used to insulate the space shuttle.
There are direct benefits to the economy provided by NASA missions as well as spinoff technologies.These advances are found in food,building materials,medical procedures and the vehicles we drive.While it can be proven that billions of dollars that could be used elsewhere is being spent on space exploration,the benefits it provides outweigh the terrible aspects.As a matter of fact,the money spent helps to improve the quality of our lives.

A.By offering analyses.

While drunken driving may be on the decline, traffic safety experts remain puzzled over how to deal with another alcohol related danger: drunken pedestrians(行人).
Pedestrians struck and killed by cars often are extremely drunk. In fact, they are intoxicated(喝醉的) more frequently and with higher blood alcohol levels than drunken drivers who are killed in accidents, various studies have shown. Forty percent of adult pedestrians involved in fatal crashes have a blood alcohol level of at least 0.10 which by law in most states signifies intoxication compared to only 25 percent of drivers in deadly accidents, according to recent federal data.
Some types of pedestrain accidents have been declining nationally, especially those involving children, but the number of adult pedestrians who are drunk when killed in traffic has remained relatively steady at 2500 a year. The total number of pedestrians killed annually in U.S. traffic accidents is at least 7000, or one of every seven highway accidents resulting in death.
“We’re dealing here, we think, with a very severe drinking problem that leads to a severe highway safety problem,” said Richard Blomberg, president of Dunlap and Associates Inc, in Norwalk, Coon.
Blomberg, whose consulting company found a very high rate of alcohol involvement in a controlled study of pedestrian accidents in New Orleans, was among several researchers who spoke on the topic at the annual meeting of the Research council’s Transportation Research Board(TRB) in Washington in January.
Pedestrian accidents have not received enough attention in the past, according to Kay Colpitts, who chairs the board’s committee on pedestrians. Few methods exist to monitor walking habits, she said, and researchers have been mystified(迷惑不解) about how to prevent disasters.
1.Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A. Traffic Safety.
B. Drunken Drivers.
C. Drunken Pedestrian Accidents.
D. A Severe Highway Safety Problem.
2.Among the causes of walkers’ accidents, the most serious problem is ________.
A. long delays in traffic signals that may make people cross streets ignoring traffic rules
B. the alcohol level in their blood which is too high.
C. a lack of adult keeping eyes on many children involved in accidents
D. former drunken drivers whose licenses are not allowed to use for a time
3.According to recent federal data, drunken drivers with an over 0.10 blood alcohol level in deadly accidents ____.
A. are 15 percent less than drunken adult walkers with the same level
B. are 2500 a year in US traffic accidents
C. are at least 7000 in US traffic accidents
D. make up one seventh of highway accidents
4.According to the passage, what is Blomberg?
A. A researcher.
B. A specialist in traffic safety.
C. A clerk of a consulting company.
D. A government official

In our daily life,friends are needed. Everyone likes feeling close to someone. It is nice to have a friend to talk, laugh, and do things with. Surely, there are times when we need to be alone. We don’t always want people around. But we will feel lonely if we never have a friend.

It is surprising to find out how much we like new people when we get to know them.
Families sometimes name their children after a close friend. Many places are named after men or women who have been friendly to people in a town. Some libraries are named this way. So are some schools. We think of these people when we go to these places.
