New drivers who are caught using a phone at the wheel will lose their license under new law that comes into force today.

From Wednesday anyone found calling, texting or using an app while driving will face a 200 pounds on-the-spot fine and six points on their license. It means that new drivers—who can lose a maximum of six points before being banned for the first two years after passing their test—will face an immediate ban for sending a single text message. Previously they were able to avoid getting points on their license by taking part in retraining courses. More experienced motorists can lose their license if they receive 12 points in a three-year period.

It follows a tragic(灾难的) incident in which Polish lorry driver Tomasz Kroker killed four members of the same family after failing to stop while scrolling (滚动) through music on his phone. Twenty-two people were killed and 99 seriously injured in accidents on Britain’s roads in 2015 where a motorist using a mobile was a main cause of accidents.

Research by the RAC has found that one in four motorists admit checking texts, emails and social media while driving. Chris Grayling, the Transport Secretary, said increasing punishment would act as a “strong deterrent(震慑物)”. He added, “Everyone has a part to play in encouraging their family and friends not to use their phones while driving. It is as inexcusable(不可原谅的) as drink-driving. ”

1.People will lose six points on their license while driving except________.

A. calling    B. texting

C. using an app    D. carrying phones

2.Who will lose his license according to the passage?

A. New drivers lose 5 points for the first two years.

B. New drivers lose 6 points during three years.

C. Experienced drivers lose 12 points in three years.

D. Experienced drivers lose 6 points in three years.

3.What led to the appearance of the new law?

A. The research by the RAC.

B. A serious accident.

C. The survey of the website.

D. The news on TV.

4.What can we learn from the last paragraph?

A. More severe punishment is effective.

B. Most of drivers use phones while driving.

C. A driver’s family and friends make no difference.

D. Using phones while driving is more harmful than drink-driving.

We all have our own tricks to cheer up when we’re feeling down; these little tricks can make you feel a little bit happier every day. While there are certainly happy memories tied up in the wedding ring you and your spouse (配偶) purchased together years ago or your teddy bear from childhood, new research finds that we typically feel calmer and experience a greater sense of well-being when we focus on a place that reminds us of happier times rather than a thing, even if it holds great value.

The report, called Places That Make Us, was conducted by the United Kingdom’s National Trust (NT) and Surrey University’s researchers. Experts performed functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) (功能磁共振成像) scans on 20 volunteers and conducted an online survey of 2,000 people to better understand this deep draw toward special places.

“Working with leading researchers and academics, and using cutting-edge fMRI brain technology, we examined how places affect people, how they become special, and why we feel a pull towards them,” explained Nino Strachey, head of research for the NT.

The 20 volunteers were shown images of landscapes, houses, and other locations, as well as personally meaningful objects. Measuring their brain activity, the researchers found that it was the places, as opposed to the objects, that caused the brain to get the most excited.

Volunteers were also interviewed at great length two times, once at home and the other time at their special place. The research made discoveries that had never known before — the favorite places aroused feelings of belonging, physical and emotional safety, and an intense internal pull to the place.

Dr. Andy Myers weighed in on the findings, saying, “For the first time we have been able to prove the physical and emotional benefits of place, far beyond any research that has been done before.”

1.How was the research conducted?

A. By performing fMRI on 2,000 volunteers.

B. By measuring the participants’ brain activity by fMRI.

C. By doing rough interviews with the participants.

D. By showing meaningful objects to the participants.

2.How would the author feel about the findings of the study?

A. It is pioneering.    B. It is baseless.

C. It is imperfect.    D. It is unbelievable.

3.Which of the following can replace the underlined phrase “weighed in on” ?

A. Made a comment on.    B. Looked down on.

C. Was opposed to.    D. Made fun of.

4.What does the text mainly talk about?

A. Everyone has his way to be happy.

B. Valuable places can make people happy.

C. Teddy bears are best memories of children.

D. Meaningful objects lead to greater well-being.

Carri Kessler and her husband Will named their daughter Ottilie after a friend from the U. K, who helped them a lot. However, right after their baby girl was born, the couple noticed a big problem. “No one could remember her name and no one could pronounce it. We’re going to keep having to introduce her!” Kessler told Today.com.

The situation then grew worse as Kessler’s grandmother admitted to sticking Post-it notes around the house to help remind her of Ottilie’s name which can be pronounced either Ott-ill-ee or Oh-TEEL-ya. Three months after Ottilie was born, the Kesslers have decided to legally change their daughter’s name. The couple came up with two possible names. They then settled on Margot after talking to a name expert.

The Kesslers’ situation is no exception as an increasing number of parents experience the same as the Kesslers. According to Baby Center Canada, 11% of its users wish they could change their children’s names due to being over popular, mispronounced or simply unfitting. Parents care a lot more and think a lot more about names now than their parents.

To deal with this, a number of name experts now offer services to help parents choose the right name. Couples have also sought help from the Internet to choose their baby’s name. However, parents can change their child’s name in the event that they regret their choice. In Canada, the rules vary in each province. For instance, in Ontario, the child must have lived in the province for the past 12 months, or since birth if under the age of one. Each of the child’s legal guardians (监护人) must also give permission.

1.Why did Kessler and her husband name their daughter Ottilie?

A. It was very special and unusual.

B. It was at the request at their mother.

C. It was recommended by a name expert.

D. It could remind them of their British friend.

2.What’s the function of the example about the Kesslers?

A. To ask for advice on their situation.

B. To introduce the topic of the text.

C. To show the background of the text.

D. To stress the importance of a suitable name.

3.What can we learn from the third paragraph?

A. The Kesslers’ experience is not uncommon.

B. Unfitness is the main reason for changing names.

C. 11% of Canadians are unsatisfied with their babies’ names.

D. Parents always pay more attention to children’s names.

4.What is the main idea of the text?

A. Rules for name change.    B. Ways to name babies.

C. Baby name regret.    D. A couple’s anxiety.
