READING SECTION: Traffic Accidents

Much of the blood on the street flows essentially from uncivil behavior of
drivers who refuse to respect the legal and moral rights of others. So the
massacre on the road may be regarded as a social problem. Safety
standards for vehicle have been raised both at the point of manufacture
and through periodic road-worthiness inspections. In addition, speed
limits have been lowered. Due to these measures, the accident rate has
decreased. But the accident experts still worry because there has been
little or no improvement in the way drivers behave.

Active Passive Smoking

Answer the questions according to the reading passage.

Psychologist George Spilich at Washington College in Chestertown,

Maryland, decided to find out whether, as many smokers say, smoking
helps them to think and concentrate. He put non-smokers, active smokers
and smokers deprived of cigarettes through a series of tests. In the first
test, each subject sat before a computer screen and pressed a key as soon
as he or she recognized a target letter. In this simple test, smokers,
deprived smokers and non-smokers performed equally well. The next test
was more complex. Non-smokers were faster, but under the stimulation of
nicotine, active smokers were faster than deprived smokers. In the third
test of short-term memory, non-smokers made the fewest errors, but
deprived smokers committed fewer errors than active smokers. In the
fourth test, non-smokers were the best and deprived smokers bested
those who had smoked a cigarette just before testing. As the tests
became more complex, non-smokers performed better than smokers by
wider and wider margins.

1. It is pointed out in the passage that the purpose of George

Spilich's experiments is ----.
A) to test whether smoking has a positive effect on the mental capacity
of smokers
B) to show how smoking damages people's mental capacity
C) to prove that smoking affects people's regular performance
D) to show that non-smokers are less productive at work than smokers
E) to prove that nicotine helps people's short term memory
2. We understand from the passage that ----.
A) active smokers in general performed better than deprived smokers
B) active smokers responded more quickly than the other subjects in all
tests
C) the other subjects were not better than nonsmokers in the simplest
test
D) deprived smokers gave the slowest responses to the various tasks
E) non-smokers committed more errors than deprived smokers in most of
the tests
3. George Spilich's experiment was conducted in such a way as to
----.A) check the effectiveness of nicotine on nonsmokers
B) put the subjects through increasingly complex tests
C) finish the tests as quickly as possible
D) force the subjects to recall the words they learned
E) compel the subjects to respond as fast as possible
