Indeed, a l6-year-old driver with three or more passengers is three times as likely to have a fatal (致命) accident as

44、a teenager driving alone. By contrast, the risk of death for drivers between 30 and 59 decreases with each additional passenger.The author also found that the death rates for teenage drivers increased dramatically after 10 p. m., and especially after midnight. With passengers in the car, the driver

45、was even more likely to die in a late-night accident.Robert Foss, a scientist at the University of North Carolina Highway Safety Research Center, says the higher death rates for teenage drivers have less to do with “really stupid behavior” than with just a lack of driving experience. “The basic thin

46、g,” he says, “is that adults who are responsible for issuing (发放) licenses fail to recognize how skilled a task driving is.”Both he and the author of the study believe that the way to reduce the harm is to have so-called graduated licensing systems，in which getting a license is a slower process. A g

47、raduated license requires that a teenager first prove himself capable of driving in the presence of an adult, followed by a period of driving at night with a limited number of passengers before graduating to get a full driving license.Graduated licensing systems have reduced teenage driver crashes，a

48、ccording to recent studies. About half of the states now have some sort of graduated licensing system in place, but only 10 of those states have number limitation on passengers. California is the strictest, with a new driver prohibited from carrying any passenger under 20 for the first six months.59

50、m a stranger on the highway at midnight.60According to Robert Foss，the high death rate of teenage drivers is mainly due to _.Atheir lack of driving experienceBtheir frequent driving at nightCtheir improper way of drivingDtheir driving with passengers61Which of the following statements is true accord

51、ing to Paragraph 3?ATeenagers should spend more time learning to drive.BDriving is a skill too difficult for teenagers to learn.CTeenagers should be limited in taking driving lessons.DPeople issuing license are partly responsible for the accidents.62A suggested measure to be taken to reduce teenager

52、s driving accidents is that _.Adriving in the presence of an adult should be made a ruleBthey should be forbidden to take on passengersCthey should not be allowed to drive after l0 p. m.Dthe licensing systems should be improvedDA shopkeeper sent his son to learn about the secret of happiness from th
