At age 12,Keegan Sobilo of New Baltimore carefully tucks his legs and arms into a fire suit, pulls on a helmet and climbs into a race car that exceeds 80 mph. He has been doing this since age 8.

“ At first, I was scared to death. I was like, 'Let's do bowling or swimming. ' It's still very scary. But he knows what he's doing. Your heart goes out on that track every time he goes out there," said his mother Hillary Sobilo.

＂The sixth-grader always wears pajamas to the track every night and takes them off when he puts his race clothes on. He's been doing that for the last four years. That's his trademark,” said Tim Phillips, his crew chief. The first time he wore his train pajamas to the track, Keegan went from last place to ninth place. He decided they brought luck. Since then, he has won a series of championships.

Passion for cars runs in the family. Keegan's father is a design mechanic at Fiat Chrysler Automobiles. He knows what it means to have seats and roll cages built to fit his son's body. "What I see in Keegan is passion, like how I feel about car restoration. But for him, everything has to align itself. I tell my son you have to be the perfect package. Winning races every weekend is not the only key. More importantly, you have to have the right name, you have to look the correct way, speak the correct way, and act the correct way. Then the rest of it is really luck, like the stock market. If you don't put yourself out there, you'll never hit it big."

While Keegan's classmates play basketball and volleyball, Keegan is at the Birch Run track-practicing, qualifying and racing until 10 p.m. or 2 a.m. While many children spend time playing video games, Keegan runs race simulation training with his joystick after school.

＂The kid is cool. It was like having a grandson. We showed respect to each other. And he takes it very seriously," said competitor Mike Todd,69,of Galesburg, Michigan. "He's an older soul in a young man's body. I'd like to see him make it big. He's got the willpower."

We are fortunate to live in a city that encourages bicycling as a means of transportation. Our local government has promoted bicycling by improving bike lanes and increasing the number of them. The growing number of cyclists, however, brings this question to mind: should bicyclists be required to share the responsibilities of the road? Automobile drivers have to take competency tests, follow established regulations, and accept punishment for breaking rules. The city requests drivers to register and license their vehicles to ensure accountability (责任）。 Bicyclists who use public roadways should be held accountable, too.

Let's look at what sharing the road means. For one thing, it should involve cost sharing. Auto

registration and license fees are used, in part, for building and maintaining roadways. It seems only reasonable to ask bicyclists to contribute to transportation funding as well.

More importantly, sharing the road includes accountability. When drivers ignore the rules of the road, the police and other motorists have the opportunity to identify them by their license plate number and report their offenses (违法行为）。This isn't true for bicyclists. I've seen bicyclists moving quickly between lanes. Because they show no identification, they feel protected by anonymity(匿名）。What good would it do to report to the police “I saw a guy on a red bike blo w through the stoplight"? The simple act of making bicyclists identifiable would encourage safer, more responsible riding.

Of course, I've heard arguments against asking cyclists to register and license their bikes. Some people might say, “Little kids ride bikes. Would you require a six-year-old rider to take a test and pay a fee?" Obviously, the city could determine an age when cycling would be considered a "means of transportation on public roads." Other people argue that bicycle fees are unfair because bikes don't damage the roadways as cars do. Bicycle registration fees could be comparatively modest, and the method for displaying a license number could be simple.

Many U.S. cities and towns now implement bike registration and licensing. A statute(法规）from one. California town states that the laws regulating bicycles have a dual purpose, antitheft and safety. I'm eager to see more bicyclists on the road, and I'm hoping for riders who take their responsibilities seriously.

28. To advocate responsible cycling, the author suggests

A. increasing the number of bike lanes

B. giving competency tests to all cyclists

C. identifying cyclists through registration

D. reporting cycling offenses more frequently

29. What is the author's purpose in writing Paragraph 4?

A. To explain how bicycle registration and licensing work.

B. To provide solutions to reduce irresponsible cycling of kids.

C. To respond to people's doubts about holding cyclists accountable.

D. To argue against requiring cyclists to register and license their bicycles.

30. What argumentative methods are used in this article?

① Using examples

② Quoting professionals

③ Comparing and contrasting

④ Appealing to readers' emotions

A. ①②

B. ②④

C. ③④

D.①③

31. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?

A. Should we encourage more cycling in the city?

B. Should cyclists register and license their bikes?

C. What does "sharing the road" mean to cyclists?

D. How can road safety be guaranteed for cyclists?
