News Report 1
A police officer in the U.S. stopped a large SUV car that was going very slowly and drifting across lanes on a highway.
He expected to find a driver who was either very drunk or having a medical emergency.
Instead, the officer discovered a five-year-old boy sat on the edge of the driver's seat.
His feet could barely reach the brake, and his head was only just high enough to see out of the windows.
The child had taken the keys to the family car while his teenage sister was napping.
He then drove three kilometers across town before getting on the highway.
The boy later told confused officers that he was planning to travel to California and buy a Lamborghini sports car.
Although he only had three dollars in his wallet, at least he was driving in the right direction.
Questions 1 and 2 are based on the news report you have just heard.
Question 1:Why did the police officer stop the SUV car?
Question 2:What did the boy tell the police officers he was planning to do?

新闻报道1
美国一名警察在高速公路上拦下了一辆行驶非常缓慢并在车道上漂移的大型SUV。
他预计会发现一个要么喝得烂醉,要么有紧急医疗情况的司机。
但恰恰相反,警察发现一个5岁的男孩坐在驾驶座边上。
他的脚几乎够不到刹车,他的头只够看到窗外。
这个孩子趁他十几岁的姐姐打盹的时候拿了家里汽车的钥匙。
然后他开车穿行小镇三公里后上了高速公路。
这名男孩后来告诉困惑的警察,他打算去加利福尼亚买一辆兰博基尼跑车。
虽然他钱包里只有3美元,但至少他是在朝正确的方向驾驶。
