DRINKING AND DRIVING

</div>
<span class='text_page_counter'>(2)</span><div class='page_container' data-page=2>

you’ve just eaten and what sort of drinks you’ve had. Some people might reach their limit
after only about three standard drinks.

In fact, your driving ability can be affected by just one or two drinks. Even if you’re below
the legal limit, you could still be taken to court if a police officer thinks your driving has
been affected by alcohol.

It takes about an hour for the body to get rid of the alcohol in one standard drink. So, if you
have a heavy drinking session in the evening you might find that your driving ability is still
affected the next morning, or you could even find that you’re still over the legal limit. In
addition, if you’ve had a few drinks at lunchtime, another one or two drinks in the early
evening may well put you over the legal limit.

In a test with professional drivers, the more alcoholic drinks they had had the more certain
they were that they could drive a test course through a set of moveable posts … and the less
able they were to do it!

So the only way to be sure you’re safe is not to drink at all.

Alcohol is a major cause of road traffic accidents. One in three of the drivers killed in road
accidents have levels of alcohol which are over the legal limit, and road accidents after

drinking are the biggest cause of death among young men. More half of the people stopped
by the police to take a breathalyzer test have a blood alcohol concentrate of more than twice
the legal limit.

It is important to remember that driving after you’ve been drinking doesn’t just affect you. If
you’re involved in an accident it affects a lot of other people as well, not least the person you
might kill or injure.

<b>Question 4</b>: Alcohol is a major cause of road traffic accidents in that ___.
A. more young men die in drink-related accidents than in any other way

___.

<b>Question 6</b>: The amount of alcohol a person can drink before reaching the legal limit is
___________.

A. 800 milligrams of pure alcohol B. exactly proportional to body weight

drinking?

A. You may hurt another road-user. B. You may be taken to court by the police.

C. You put many other people at risk. D. You are putting yourself in danger.

<b>Question 8:</b> When might you be taken to court by the police for drinking and driving?
A. When the police think that you have been drinking from the way you are driving.
B. Only when tests show that you have 80mg of alcohol in 100 ml of blood.

C. When you have driven a vehicle after drinking any alcohol at all.
D. When you have drunk at least three drinks before driving.

<b>Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to</b>
<b>indicate the correct answer to each of the following questions from 13 to 20.</b>

Have you ever thought about inventing something? Did you worry that your idea was too
strange or unrealistic? Well, maybe you should think again. Strange or unrealistic ideas
never stopped Arthur Pedrick. Pedrick was a British inventor. Originally a government clerk,
he spent his retirement in the 1960s and 1970s developing new and unusual ideas. Some of
these ideas contradicted basic physics, but that didn’t stop Pedrick. One of his strangest ideas
was a plan to connect large tubes from the continent of Australia all the way to Antarctica, a
distance of 10,000 km! These tubes would carry giant ice balls from Antarctica to Australia.
This ice would then melt in the Australian desert, and the water would be used in irrigation.
Another of Pedrick’s inventions was a radio-controlled golf ball. A golfer could change the
speed and direction of the golf ball by small flaps, controlled by computer chips. Using radio
waves, the golfer could also find lost golf balls. Arthur Pedrick had thousands of bizarre
ideas for inventions, most of which were never built.

Though many of Pedrick’s inventions were never developed, a lot of other strange ideas
were. In 1989, a company designed and sold a theft-prevention device for expensive cars. As
part of this device, several tubes were attached to the bottom of a car. If someone tried to
steal the car, super hot flames would come out of the tubes and burn the car thief. Some
people who were not thieves, however, were seriously injured. They accidentally set off the
device by walking past the car. Other strange inventions include underwear for dogs and
pens with drinkable ink. The underwear keeps dogs from <b>making a mess</b> when <b>they</b> go out
for a walk. Also, if you are ever thirsty during a test, a pen with drinkable ink would be very
handy! If you have an idea that seems a little <b>out in left field</b>, don’t let that stop you from
trying it. You’ll be in good company.
