Nowadays, the police have been applying a new regulation concerning the use of seatbelt. In
European countries, this regulation has been applied for a long time.
However, this regulation become controversial and is an interesting topic to discuss. Here are
some of the arguments. The use of seat belts has been proven to reduce the risk of injury or
death in an accident. Seat belts has become a standard component in cars. The research show
that most car accident will cause an injury to the head. Frequently, drivers or the passengers
driving without seat belts die because of this. By wearing the seat belts, the injury will not
happen since seat belts restrain our body on the car seat when the accident happens.
Unfortunately, many cars, especially the old ones, don’t have seat belts. This is because the
traffic condition in the past were unlike the recent traffic conditions. The designer of old cars
didn’t consider a seatbelt as an important part.
Besides, the drivers wearing the seat belt will think that they are completely safe, so they may
drive carelessly. They are safe, indeed, but how about safety of other? The seat belt is only
one of the ways to reduce the risk of car accidents. It doesn’t mean that we are completely
safe. In short, our safety depends on ourselves.

All human beings eat food and make use of the chemical energy in it, so do all other
animals. Perhaps you wonder where all that chemical energy comes from. Why doesn't
the food all get used up? The answer is that new food is being grown as fast as old
food is used to. It is the green plants that form the new food. Animals either eat the
plants or eat other animals that have eaten plants. The green substance of plants is
chlorophyll. Chlorophyll can absorb sunlight. When it does so, it changes the energy of
the sun into chemical energy. The chemical energy present in sunlit chlorophyll is used
to combine dioxide in the air with water from the soil. Starch and other complicated
compounds are formed. These are high in chemical energy obtained from the sunlit
chlorophyll. They make up the food on which mankind and all other animals live. In
the process of forming this food, some oxygen atoms are left over. These are given off
into the air by the plants. The whole process is called photosynthesis. Thus, plants use
sunlight to from food and oxygen to from carbon dioxide and water again. Plants
change the sun's energy into chemical energy. And animals change the animal energy
into kinetic and heat energy.
47. The green substance of plant is chlorophyll. The underlined word in the above is
closest in meaning to....
A. Core
B. Body
C. Stuff
D. Essence
E. Material

48. What will happen when the chlorophyll absorbs sunlight? It will....
A. change heat into kinetic energy
B. form complicated compound
C. make use of heat energy
D. change kinetic energy into chemical energy
E. change the sun's energy into chemical energy

49. From the text we know that ....

A. plant need to heat energy to live
B. all human beings need chemical energy
C. plants absorb sunlight to produce kinetic energy
D. chlorophyll is the most important thing in photosynthesis
E. sun's energy cannot be formed into kinetic energy
