Class: VI Subject: English
SECTION A - COMPREHENSION
A. Read the passage and answer the questions that follow:
Using ‘ear’ phones while driving can be far more dangerous than driving under the influence of
liquor. Latest research says drivers using these mobile phones as a means of faster day-today
communications may be heading for an accident. The study has shattered the common belief that
drinking is the chief cause of the majority of road mishaps. Talking on mobile phones increases
the risk to one’s life compared to driving after being drunk. The findings of the study are based on
the survey of several cases of road accidents.
In fact, a study of the records of drivers involved in 699 such mistakes showed that the risk of
accident for those who talk on phone while driving was at least four times higher compared to
those driving in a state of drunkenness.
The only advantage for those driving with cellular phone was that they could summon immediate
help through these phones. The study which is relevant for the entire world is relevant for India as
well. Here too these phones are being used increasingly for communication and business
transactions.
