Paul and Jason were brothers who lived and worked on neighbouring farms．For 35 years they farmed side by side，sharing machinery and goods as needed，without a single problem．
However，one autumn，things changed．It began with a tiny disagreement about a horse，which grew into a major difference．The difference led to angry words，followed by weeks of silence between the two brothers．
One morning there was a knock on Paul’s door．He opened it and saw a builder holding his toolbox．“I’m looking for a few days’work，”the builder said．“Are there any jobs here I could help with?”
“Yes，”answered Paul，extremely pleased to see the builder．“I do have a job for you．Look at that farm across the creek(小溪)．That’s my brother’s farm.That creek used to be a grass field，but last week my brother dug a path from the fiver and made the creek．But I’ll go him one better．See that pile of wood?1 want you to build me a fence，two metres tall，so 1 won’t need to see him anymore．”
The builder said thoughtfully．“I think I understand the situation and I'll be able to do a job that pleases you．”
Paul had business in town that day and left the builder to his work．When he returned，the builder had just finished his job．Paul was shocked．Instead of a fence there was a bridge，stretching from one side of the creek to the other．
As Paul stood on the bridge，staring in amazement，his younger brother Jason，came across，and took Paul’s hand．“You are a good man to have built this bridge after a11 I've done，”said Jason．
Then，Paul，with tears in his eyes，said to the builder who was packing his bag to go，“Thank you so much。Please stay．I have much more for you to do．”
“I’d love to．”the builder said quietly，“but，I have many more bridges to build.”

Last year in the UK at least 45 people died and 900 more were injured in car accidents where drivers were using their mobile phones．Yet many people continue to use them while driving even though it’s dangerous．
Research has shown that it is difficult to concentrate 0n driving and talking at the same time．It can even be more dangerous than driving after drinking too much．A recent study found that when drivers were talking on their mobile phones，their stopping times were 30 percent slower than when they had drunk too much—and nearly 50 percent slower than when they were driving normally．It also found that drivers talking on mobile phones were less able to control their cars than drunk drivers．
And talking isn’t even the most serious problem, texting is. Unbelievably, another recent study reported that 22％ of adults admitted they had sent a text message while driving at least once in the past month．An average text message takes 90 seconds to write and send．That means for one and a half minutes a driver is looking at their phone’s screen and not at the road．The arrival of new smart phones such as the iPhone will only make matters worse as they will allow users to do more things than ever before．
Using a mobile phone while driving puts others’ lives at risk．No matter how well we drive，if another driver is not being professional or careful，we are put in danger by their actions．Such drivers are selfish，careless and should have their driving licences(驾照)cancelled．
There is no doubt that mobile phones call be fun and are extremely useful，especially when you’re in trouble．But there is no need to use them while driving．Just wait until you stop or you will probably get into trouble of your own．
The underlined word“'them”in paragraph 1 refers to          .

According to the passage，if a driver needs 10 seconds to stop when driving normally, they will need  seconds to stop when talking on a mobile phone．

According to the passage，in what order do the following activities influence driving?
Dangerous→More dangerous→Most dangerous

Why will new types of mobile phones make the driving problem worse?

According to the writer,what should be done to people who use mobile phones when driving?

Although he died almost 40 years ago，Bruce Lee is still considered the greatest and most influential kung fu performer of the 20th century．His films brought traditional Hong Kong kung fu movies to a new level of popularity，and introduced kung fu to millions of people in the West。
Bona in the USA in 1940，Lee returned to his native Hong Kong before his birthday．As a teenager，the highly intelligent boy was accepted into one of Hong Kong’s most famous middle schools but he paid little attention to his studies.

Among Lee’s students were several famous actors who，impressed by his good—looks and fighting skill，encouraged him to start acting．Over the next fire years Lee achieved some Success in America．But his dream of introducing his fighting style into American movies was not accepted by local film makers who thought western audiences were not interested in kung fu．
Determined to prove them wrong，Lee returned to Hong Kong in 1970．There he made two films Fists of Fury (1971)and Way of the Dragon(1972)，using his kung fu ideas and techniques.The movies were huge hits world—wide，making Lee an international star and symbol of kung fu．These were followed by what is widely considered the greatest kung fu movie of all time，Enter the Dragon(1973)．Tragically however，Lee suddenly and mysteriously died while making his next movie Game of Death。He was only 33 years old．
