The text is for question number 9 to 12

Nowadays, the police have been applying the new regulation concerning the use of seat belts. In European
countries, this regulation has been applied for a long time. However, this new regulation has become
controversial and is an interesting topic to discuss. Here are some arguments.
The use of seat belts has been proven to reduce the risk of injury or death in an accident. Seat belts have
become a standard component in cars. The research shows 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 seat
belts, the injury will not happen since 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
conditions in the past were unlike the recent traffic conditions. The designer of old cars did not consider
seat belts as an important part. Besides, the driver 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.
9. What is the main idea of paragraph 3?
a. Old cars do not use seat belts.
b. The old cars have seat belts for their safety.
c. Drivers wearing seat belts may drive carefully.
d. The traffic conditions in the past were like the recent.
e. The old cars’ designer considered a seat belt an important part.
10. What is the function of seat belts?
a. The reduce the traffic conditions. d. To prevent drivers driving cars carefully.
b. To become a standard component in cars. e. To increase the risk of injury in car accidents.
c. To reduce the risk of injury or death in an accident.
11. Who considered a seat belt an unimportant part?
a. Police d. Passengers
b. People e. The old cars designer.
c. Drivers
12. “… that they are completely safe”. (paragraph 3)
What does the word “they refer to?
a. Cars d. Designers
b. Seat belts e. Others
c. Drivers
