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. Sealt
belt has 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 the 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 the 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.

A. Old cars do not use seat belts
B. The old cars have seat belts for their safety
 C. The drivers wear seat belts may drive carefully
D. The traffic conditions in the past were similar to the recent
E. The old cars' designer considered a seat belt as an important part

19. What is the function of seat belts?

A. The reduce the traffic conditions
B. To become a standard component in cars
C. To reduce the risk of injury or death in an accident
D. To prevent the drivers driving cars carefully
E. To increase the risk of injury in car accidents

20. Who considered a seat belt as an unimportant part?

A. Police
B. People
C. Drivers
D. Passengers
E. Old cars designer
