Next time you can't get a cell pho ne sig nal in the middle of tow n, put your problem in perspective （正确地观察）:New figures show that with five tower workers dying during one 12-day span earlier this year alone, the deadliest job in America now goes to the men and wome n who con struct, upgrade, and repair cell pho ne towers .
According to a story in this week's RCR Wireless News, building and climbing towers （which can be hun dreds of feet tall ）is more hazardous tha n fish in g, loggi ng, and even iron work ing . The fatality rate is curre ntly 183 .
6 deaths per 100,000 workers, thirty five times as high as that in all other U . S . industries .
The cause for the run-up in tower worker deaths isn't completely clear, but Craig Lekutis, preside nt of Wireless Estimator said, "the majority of these deadly falls would not have happened if the climber had been tied off 100% of the time . It appears that all of the tower tech nicians that died had the appropriate pers onal protect ion equipme nt available to them . They just did n't use it . 'Tie or Die!' has become synonym ous （同义）with the requireme nt for 100% fall protect ion . ”
"But stro ng emphasis on safety may not be eno ugh to reduce the fatality rate of tower climbers, because there are no comprehensive federal regulations specific to the tower industry . North Carolina has statewide tower safety rules, and Michigan and California are considering adopting a tower safety standard as well," said Michael Belzer, specialist of labor union .
Update: The original story concerns only accidental deaths in traditional careers and military careers are not in cluded in the "deadliest" tally （计数、记录）. In deed, since this story origi nally ran in RCR Wireless . com, the issue has received main stream media atte nti on as the Wall Street Journal and NBC's Dateli ne both covered the issue .
56 . What made so many tower workers die on the job?
A . Too poor pay from tower companies .
B . The great height of cell phone towers .
C . Lack of pers onal protect ion equipme nt .
D . A comb in ati on of careless worki ng practices .
57 . Which of the follow ing state first attached importa nee to tower safety?
A . Florida .
B . California .
C . Michigan .
D . North Carolina .
58 . The un derl ined word "hazardous" in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to " _____ ".
A . poisonous
B . serious
C . dangerous
D . mysterious
59 . It can be inferred from the last paragraph that _________ .
A . the fatality rate is not very accurate
B . the Wall Street Journal first reported the story
C . people seem in the least concerned about tower safety .
D . the fatality rate is in fact lower tha n that in the passage
