Presence of Passengers Increases Accident Risk  

Just having passengers in a car increases the risk of an accident requiring hospitalization about 60 percent.

My grandma is always a bit of chatty café? that is until she was a passenger in a car, then she fall silent, her reason driving a car is a difficult work and requires concentration or so my grandfather told her turn off the other point drivers with passengers are sixty percent more likely to have a car accident that result in hospitalization. That’s according to research from the George Institute for International Health. But is it much passengers distract drivers nothing beats mobile phone from increasing the risk of crashing? The institute analyze nearly 500 serious accidents and found the use of cell phone even hand free increase the likelihood of accidence by four times. While researchers have finger out exactly how car conversation impair driving, (the effect contribute to the 4,000 automobile dust? in the U.S. annually, that’s about the size of family park.? )So what are new cars is being set up TV, internet access more coupled of you can imagine. There is a Disney land distraction inside. Hmm, maybe it time to unplug and focus our ayes and ears on the road ahead.

please check out......

In this website i also find this "http://www.niehs.nih.gov/news/video/science/frontiers/2007/05-11/" also fantastic:)  a lecture given by a person with slide shows.
Enjoy it!

My grandma always chides chatty Cathy, until she is told that she is a passenger in a car, then she falls silent. Her reason, driving car is a difficult work and requires concentration, also my grandfather told her. Turn to the point, drivers and passengers are 60% more likely to have car accident that results in hospitalization. That is according to a research from Georgia Institute of International Health. But much passenger distract driving nothing beats mobile phone that increase crash. The institution analyzed near 5 hundred serious accidents and found, using cell phone, even hand free, increase the likelihood of body accidents by 4 times. Researchers have not figured out exactly how car conversation impairs driving. The fact attributes to 45 thousand automobiles dent in America annually, that is about the size of phonely park. So new car has been set to TV, internet access, more couple than you can imagine. There is Disneyland distraction inside. Hmm, maybe it is time to unplug and focus eyes and ears on the road ahead.

shard 的词义确实如你所说，a shard of 在google上可以查到很多相关的句子，根据那些句子的context，我猜测是“很少量”的意思:)  但我也不是很确定:loveliness:

xixihehe0167UID: 2253387

woodman 确实很厉害，总是给大家一些很original的背景知识，很让人佩服啊，哈哈:loveliness:

xixihehe0167UID: 2253387

觉得get scent of是“嗅到“ 或者”感觉到”的意思，不过这这段话里似乎有点解释不同:confused:
