71.　 What’s the best title of the passage? w_w w. k#s5_

E

The dangers of distracted driving are well known: a 2009 Virginia Tech Transportation Institute study of truck drivers found that the risk of a crash was 23 times higher when drivers texted compared with when they did not text. Other studies have shown that people who talk on their cell phones while driving are four times more likely to crash as motorists who stay off the phone.

When asked, many drivers say they understand the risks of using a cell phone while driving, but do it anyway. 87% said text messaging or e-mailing while driving posed a very serious threat to their safety; 90% said the same thing about drunk driving. Yet more than two-thirds of them said they had talked on a cell phone and 21% said they had texted or emailed while driving in the previous month.

Why the knowingly reckless(鲁莽的) behavior? People say they feel it necessary to respond to matters related to work or school. Others say they need to stay connected socially.

"The attraction of staying connected and multitask in what is otherwise seen as idle(闲置的) time is very strong," said Mary Madden, a senior research specialist at the Pew Research Center ." One point that is often overlooked in discussions of this issue is that it's about more than just keeping your eyes on the road and your hands on the wheel. When you're in conversation with someone outside the car - whether texting or talking - it reduces your situational awareness which is so essential to having a quick reaction time to dangers on the road."

Since 1930, the planet's most popular sport - soccer - has played host to a magnificent month of action every four years. In anticipation of the 19th World Cup, here are some of the tournament's (锦标赛)famous moments

The first ever World Cup was held in Uruguay in 1930 to mark the country's centennial(百年庆). Before the final, neither side agreed on whose ball to use. The solution? The teams played with Argentina's ball during the first half and Uruguay's in the second. w_w w. k#s5_

　　 The scheduled World Cups of 1942 and 1946 were canceled due to the outbreak of World War II. But the 1938 World Cup group game in Paris saw the German team giving the Nazi salute(敬礼) before their 1-1 tie against Switzerland. The Germans failed to make much progress in a tournament that took place on European soil.

Brazil hosted the 1950 competition and were widely expected to defeat Uruguay in the final. They were so confident that gold medals were made and a victory anthem composed. As it turned out, some never even made it home. Brazil's shocking 2-1 loss resulted in a silent stadium.　 And then, tragically, some fans committed suicide by jumping from the stands. 　　 The 1970 World Cup in Mexico will be forever known for witnessing a Brazilian side at the peak of its power. Pelé had been viciously targeted for foul treatment four years previously and vowed never to take part in another World Cup. Thankfully for the soccer world, he changed his mind, and the team had control over the game, destroying Italy in the final 4-1. The final Brazilian goal was a thing of beauty. Eventually, Pelé rolled the ball into the path of captain Alberto, who smashed it into the net.

Maradona seemed to carry the weight of a nation on his back in Mexico in 1986. Maradona's two second-half goals summed up all that was good and bad about the midfielder. The first was bad, as he punched the ball into the net. But his second was one of the greatest goals of all time, as he ran half the length of the field, beating half of England's team in the process. 　　 The last host nation to lift the World Cup was France in 1998. Their multicultural side was proof positive that soccer can bring people together. Their hero was magical midfielder Zidane. His two goals in the final helped to defeat Brazil 3-0.

6

The 2002 World Cup was the first to have joint hosts, in this case Japan and South Korea

both progressed to the knockout phase. It's undeniable that South Korea's Dutch coach, instilled a deep belief in his charges, and they proceeded to defeat Italy and Spain before falling 1-0 to Germany in the semifinal.

In 2010 in South Africa, the host, Italy, France and 29 other sides will all be hoping to reign supreme over the rest of the soccer world.
