DRIVING, SAFETY, AND YOUR CELLPHONE

Many accidents occur every day simply because drivers fail to pay attention. One thing that takes drivers
attention away from the road is talking on cell phones.
Because talking on cell phones can cause accidents, in some places it is illegal to hold a cell phone while
youre driving. Many people use headsets so they can talk on the phone and keep both hands on the steering
wheel.
However, studies show that using a headset while driving does not reduce the chance of having an
accident. In fact people using headsets have as many accidents as people using handheld cell phones. The reason
is this: When people talk on the phone, they are not concentrating on what is happening on the road and around
them. They can see everything, but they arent really paying attention, and they arent focused on driving. Drivers
who are talking on the phone are slower to respond to things like stop signs or a person walking into the street.
So keep your attention on the road and stay off the phone. Remember that driving requires your full
attention. But if you must use your cell phone while driving, here are some safety tips:
Use your cell phone only if it is absolutely necessary
Tell the person youre speaking to that youre driving
If possible, pull over to the side of the road when making or answering a call
Keep your conversation short.

26. Accidents occur because ________.

a. drivers send text messages b. drivers fail to pay attention

a. holding a cell phone b. talking on a cell phone

c. can cause an equal number of accidents d. help you concentrate more on the road

29. When people are talking on the cell phone, they can see everything, but they are ________.
a. concentrated on whats going on b. focused on driving
c. faster to respond to unexpected situations d. too slow to respond to unexpected situations

a. Use your cell phone if its really necessary b. Keep your conversation long

MR. BEAN
Mr. Bean is a British comedy television series, starring Rowan Atkinson. The
program was produced by Tiger Television, later renamed Tiger Aspect productions (a
company in which Atkinson has a stake), for Thames Television and originally shown on
ITV. It is written by Atkinson, Robin Driscoll and Richard Curtis. The first episode was
broadcast on 1 January 1990, with the final episode, "Goodnight, Mr. Bean," on 31
October 1995.
In the show, Atkinson plays a selfish, sometimes ingenious buffoon who
frequently gets into hilarious situations due to his various schemes and contrivances.
The show relies upon physical comedy, with very little dialogue. It features Mr.
Bean trying to undertake what would normally be considered simple tasks, such as going
swimming, redecorating or taking an exam. One of his acts, most beloved by fans, is stuffing a turkey and getting
it stuck on his head. The humor largely comes from his original solutions to any problems, and a total disregard
for others when solving them.
Mr. Bean is the only significant character in the program (save for Teddy, his lovable stuffed teddy bear).
Other characters exist simply as foils for his various antics, and besides the star, there are only two recurring
supporting characters; his sometime "girlfriend" Irma Gobb (played by Matilda Ziegler) and a light blue Reliant
Regal Supervan (if such can be called a 'character', given that its driver always remains anonymous). However,
Angus Deayton often appears alongside Atkinson in sketches as various one-off supporting characters.
The show's title sequence (used from the second episode onward) depicts Mr. Bean falling from the sky in a
beam of light. Theories on the meaning of this have ranged from Mr. Bean's being an alien to his being an angel
sent to Earth. More humorously, perhaps, as a character who is always having odd things happen to him, it could
represent his return after an abduction. However, the producers of the show claim that it is intended to show his
status as an ordinary man cast into the spotlight. Regardless of meaning, this is clear: Mr. Bean is alone in the
world, is frequently childlike, and often seems unaware of basic aspects of the way the world works.
 31. Mr. Bean was produced by _______.
a. Tiger Aspect b. Tiger Television c. Thames Television d. ITV

32. Who does Atkinson play in the show?

a. A genius man b. a hilarious man c. a buffoon d. a selfish man

33. What does the show NOTrely upon?

a. complicated tasks b. physical comedy c. little dialogue d. simple tasks

34. Apart from Mr. Bean, who is another important character that appears in the show?
a. Mr. Beans girlfriend Irma Gobb. b. Mr. Beans Reliant Regal Supervan.
c. Mr. Beans friend, Angus Deayton. d. Mr. Beans teddy bear, Teddy.

35. What is the meaning of the shows title sequence, according to its producers?
a. Mr. Bean is an alien b. Mr. Bean is an ordinary man
c. Mr. Beans return after his abduction d. Mr. Bean is an angel sent to Earth
