Ⅰ.阅读理解
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中选出最佳选项。
(原创)In a bid to convince drivers in Aichi Prefecture to keep their hands on the_wheel and their eyes on the road, a new Japanese smartphone app offers free coffee coupons(优惠券)to drivers who don’t check their phones for at least 100 km. For the last 13 years, Aichi Prefecture has recorded the highest rate of death in traffic accidents in Japan. Last year, there were 443, 691 accidents that resulted in injuries or deaths, and 50, 101 arrests involving the use of smartphones while driving. With handhelds becoming such a big part of people’s lives, there appears to be an increase in violations of this nature, and authorities have yet to come up with an effective plan to deal with the problem.
Interestingly, a Japanese company seems to think that a creative new app could in some way help drivers to keep themselves from checking their phones at the wheel and reduce the number of traffic accidents. Toyota Motor Corporation, Komeda Coffee and KDDI Corporation of Communication have teamed up to create Driving Barista, an app that uses the phone’s sensor to sense the tilt(倾斜)of the device, and the GPS to determine the distance driven. This allows it to calculate the number of kilometers a driver has traveled with the smartphone facing down.
When Driving Barista determines that the smartphone has not been checked for at least 100 kilometers, it will reward the driver with a coupon for a cup of blended or iced coffee at a Komeda Coffee Shop. The reward is earned after every 100 kilometers driven without checking the phone. If you try to change the number before it reaches 100 km, the app will reset back at 0 km.
Toyota claims that this is the first smartphone app that attempts to deal with traffic safety issues. “In line with contributing to the final goal of achieving zero death and zero traffic accidents, Toyota has taken automobile safety measures as one of its top priority management concerns，”said Shuichi Murakami, managing officer at Toyota. “By carrying out a new traffic safety regulations together with Komeda Coffee and KDDI, we hope to further reduce traffic accidents.” 1. “The wheel”in Paragraph l actually refers to ________.
2. What can we learn about Japan’s traffic from the passage?
A. Over 50, 000 Japanese drivers got arrested for phone use while driving. B. The final goal of achieving zero traffic accidents will soon come true. C. Aichi Prefecture no longer tops the list in Japan’s traffic death rates. D. 443, 691 people died or got injured in last year’s traffic accidents. 3. What do we know about Driving Barista?
A. It encourages driving without checking smartphones. B. It is created by several Japanese motor companies. C. It determines the distance the driver has driven. D. It can be placed in any position by the drivers.
4. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage? A. Smartphones — the No. 1 killer in driving B. An app to control smartphone use in driving C. Drivers, do you like coffee? D. Japan’s new traffic regulations 答案与解析

Follow these simple tips to help you say no with love.
__2__ I had the bad habit of saying yes to things right away and then feeling terrible later. When Jane asks if you can watch her dog this weekend, tell her you’re honoured that she thought of you and that you’d be happy to let her know at the end of the day or the next morning.
Three breaths and two questions. If we are in the habit of saying yes, every question can cause stress. __3__ Then ask yourself these questions：“Am I able to? Do I want to？” Just because we’re able to do something it doesn’t mean we should or that we need to.

Let me know if you’d like her number.”
Simply say no, with a smile.“Thanks for thinking of me, but I’m not able to do that.”Then smile. __5__ When you’re able to say no easily and without guilt, you might even find that you are more willing to volunteer or participate because when you do, it will be out of joy. A. Say thanks and think it over. B. Saying no can be the hardest step.
C. Learning to say no protects our energy and time. D. Offer something that you would be comfortable with.
