  The incident occurred one morning outside Albert Schweitzers hospital in the African jungle. A patient had gone fishing in another mans boat the previous night. The owner of the boat thought he should be given all the fish that were caught. Dr. Schweitzer said to the boat owner. "You are right because the other man ought to have asked permission to use your boat. But you are wrong because you are careless and lazy. You merely twisted the chain of your canoe round a palm tree instead of fastening it with a padlock. Of laziness you are guilty because you were asleep in your hut on this moonlit night instead of making use of the good opportunity for fishing." He turned to the patient:" But you were in the wrong then you took the boat without asking the owners permission. You were in the right because you were not so lazy as he was and you did not want to let the moonlit night go by without making some use of it." Dr. Schweitzer divided the catch among the fisherman, the boat owner and the hospital.

  First read the questions.   85. It is the drivers responsibility to _____. A. make children under 14 wear seat belts in the front. B. make the front seat passenger wear a seat belt. C. stop children riding in the front seat. D. wear a seat belt on all occasions. 86. For some people, it may be better _____. A. to wear a seat belt for health reasons. B. not to wear a seat belt for health reasons. C. to get a valid medical certificate. D. to pay the fine rather than wear a seat belt.   Now go through the text quickly and answer the questions.

  Why Seat Belts Are Necessary   More than 30,000 drivers and front seat passengers are killed or seriously injured each year. The impact on you of an accident can be very serious. At a speed of only 30 miles per hour it is the same as falling from a third-floor window. Wearing a seat belt saves lives; it reduced your chance of death or serious injury by more than half. Who has to wear a seat belt? Drivers or front passengers in most vehicles. If you are 14 or over, it will be your responsibility to wear the belt. If you do not, you could be fined up to 50. It will not be up to the driver to make sure you wear your belt. But it will be the drivers responsibility to make sure that children under 14 do not ride in the front unless they are wearing a seat belt of some kind. A very few vehicles have a middle front seat between the front passenger seat and the drivers seat, for example, a bench seat. Your vehicle may be one of them. If just one passenger sits in front, he must wear a seat belt. But if two passengers sit in front, the person sitting in the middle will not have to wear a belt. Medical exemptions Certain people ought not to wear a seat belt because of their health. It may be more risky for them to wear a belt than to be in a road accident without one. But they will not have to wear a belt if they get a valid medical certificate from a doctor. If you think this applies to you, go and talk to a doctor as soon as possible. The doctor may reassure you that you can wear a seat belt. Or he may have to examine you before he can decide whether or not to give you a certificate. When you go and see him you should ask him at the start how much this would cost. Keep the certificate. If the police ask you why you are not wearing a seat belt, you should show them the certificate. If you cannot show it to them on the spot, you should take the certificate to a police station of your choice within five days.
