I) Read the passage below and answer the questions given below.
“Click!” That’s the sound of safety. That’s the sound of survival. That’s the sound of a seat
belt locking in place. Seat belts save lives and that’s a fact. That’s why I don’t drive
anywhere until mine is tight. Choosing to wear your seat belt is as simple as choosing
between life and death. Which one do you choose?
Some people think that seatbelts are uncool. They think that seatbelts cramp their style, or
that seatbelts are uncomfortable. To them I say, what’s more uncomfortable? Wearing a
seat belt or flying through a car windshield? What’s more uncool? Being safely anchored
to a car, or skidding across the road in your shorts? Wearing a seat belt is both cooler and
more comfortable than the alternatives.
Wearing a seat belt does not make invincible. You can still get hurt while wearing your
seatbelt. But wearing them has proven to be safer than driving without them. You are much
less likely to be injured in a car wreck if you are wearing a seat belt.
So why not take the safer way? Why not go the way that has been proven to result in fewer
injuries? You do want to stay safe, don’t you?
