The Statue of Liberty arrived in New York Harbor on June 19, 1885, as a gift of friendship from the people of France to the people of the United States. Sculptor Frederic-Auguste Bartholdi's Liberty Enlightening the World stands 305 feet high and has come to symbolize freedom and democracy nationwide. Miss Liberty is made of copper sheets assembled on a framework of steel supports. In order to transport the statue to America, the figure was disassembled into 350 pieces and packed in 214 crates. Four months later, it was reassembled on Bedloe's Island (renamed Liberty Island in 1956). On October 28, 1886, President Grover Cleveland dedicated the Statue of Liberty before thousands of spectators. But millions more would meet "Lady Liberty" in a different way. The nearby Ellis Island Immigration Station, a major reception point for immigrants entering the United States, opened in 1892. Before the station closed in 1943, the Statue of Liberty welcomed more than 12 million immigrants to America. On its pedestal, words by poet Emma Lazarus reflect the hope for freedom and opportunity shared by the millions who see Miss Liberty after a long ocean journey: Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.

According to a recent survey released earlier this month, 8 percent of drivers, or 1.2 million people, are using handheld or hands-free cell phones at any given time during daylight hours. That's double the number from just 4 years ago. What does that mean for your safety? More and more studies are telling us that, whether it's handheld or hands-free, cell phone conversations are distracting to drivers. 2,600 deaths and more than 300,000 collisions each year are related to cell phones. Some 40 states are talking about joining New York, New Jersey and Washington, D.C. in banning hand-held cell phones in vehicles. Of all the distracting things we do in our cars, cell phones aren't the worst. The most prevalent (普遍) distracting events were conversations, eating and drinking, and dealing with things that had dropped in the car. Researchers have found that dialing takes your eyes off the road and talking on the phone takes your mind out of the car and into the conversation. University of Utah studies show that cell phones, even while using a headset, have a real effect on reaction time. Some even compare it to driving while drunk. If you thought your hands-free cell phone is safer because both hands are free to grip the wheel, think again. Hands-free units can be less safe, because it leads to longer conversations and more mental distraction. 16. Each year, deaths are due to using cell phones while driving. A 1.2 million. B 2,600. C 30,000. D 8,000. 17. How many states in U.S. have already banned hand-held cell phones in vehicles? A 40. B 3. C 26. D 30. 18.

C 2,600 deaths each year are related to cell phones. D Cell phones, even while using a headset, have a real effect on reaction time. 20. What we can conclude from the passage is that .
