    　 Maybe ten?year?old Elizabeth put it best when she said to her father，“But，Dad，you can’t be healthy if you’re dead.”

    　 Dad，in a hurry to get home before dark so he could go for a run，had forgotten to wear his safety belt—a mistake 75% of US population make every day.The big question is why.

    　 There have been many myths about safety belts ever since their first appearance in cars some forty years ago.The following are three of the most common.

    　 Myth Number One: It’s best to be “thrown clear” of a serious accident.

    　 Truth: Sorry，but any accident serious enough to “throw you clear” is going to be serious enough to give you a very bad landing.And chances are you’ll have traveled through a windshield (挡风玻璃)or door to do it.Studies show that chances of dying after a car accident are twenty?five times in cases where people are “thrown clear”.

    　 Myth Number Two: Safety?belts “trap” people in cars that are burning or sinking in water.

    　 Truth: Sorry again，but studies show that people knocked unconscious (昏迷) due to not wearing safety belts have a greater chance of dying in these accidents.People wearing safety belts are usually protected to the point of having a clear head to free themselves from such dangerous situation，not to be trapped in them.

    　 Myth Number Three: Safety belts aren’t needed at speeds of less than 30 miles per hour (mph).

    　 Truth: When two cars traveling at 30 mph hit each other，an unbelted driver would meet the windshield with a force equal to diving head first into the ground from a height of 10 metres.

    1.Why did Elizabeth say to her father，“But，Dad，you can’t be healthy if you’re dead”？

    　 A.He was driving at great speed.

    　 B.He was running across the street.

    　 C.He didn’t have his safety belt on.

    　 D.He didn’t take his medicine on time.

    2.The reason father was in a hurry to get home was that he 　　　　.

    　 A.wasn’t feeling very well　　　　　 B.hated to drive in the dark

    　 C.wanted to take some exercise　　　　　 D.didn’t want to be caught by the police

    3.According to the text，to be “thrown clear” of a serious accident is very dangerous because

    　 you 　　　.

    　 A.may be knocked down by other cars

    　 B.may get serious hurt thrown out of the car

    　 C.may find it impossible to get away from the seat

    　 D.may get caught in the car door

    4.Some people prefer to drive without wearing a safety belt because they believe 　　　　.

    　 A.the belt prevents them from escaping in an accident

    　 B.they will be unable to think clearly in an accident

    　 C.they will be caught when help comes

    　 D.cars catch fire easily

    5.What is the advice given in the test?

    　 A.Never drive faster than 30 miles an hour.

    　 B.Try your best to save yourself in a car accident.

    　 C.Never forget to wear the safety belt while driving.

    　 D.Drive slowly while you’re not wearing a safety belt.

    　　For most of us, the purpose of the holidays is to bring peace, love, and goodwill towards all．Yet, for many, the holiday season often means stress, tiredness, pressure, disappointment and loneliness．

    　　These feelings, often known as the “holiday blues,” may be even more common this year, due to the emotional disorder of the past few months, not to mention the unsteady economy．Experts say even the more usual tasks of shopping, decorating, late-night parties, cooking, planning and family reunions can be holiday stressors．

    　　In addition, the psychological phenomenon known as seasonal affective disorder, or SAD, may bring a specific type of depression related to winter's shorter days and longer nights．

    　　“Certainly just because it's the holidays doesn't mean people are going to be happy,” says Dr．Doug Jacobs of Harvard University．“And this will be a particularly hard holiday for some who are dealing with a lost job, debt, or even a lost loved one．”

    　　And with family reunions becoming less frequent events over the years, there is now the added pressure of getting just one chance to get it all right．“Families are much more different now,” says John Stutsman, a clinical psychologist at Northwestern Memorial Hospital in Chicago．The disappointment and sense of unfriendliness that often results from family gatherings, he adds, are actually a realization that “the fantasy is not met”．

    　　Still, say experts, the blues should be dealt with．The most essential step, says Stutsman, is for the individual to admit their feelings and the reason for their depression．“Disagreement will only compound the stress they're feeling．”

    　　Stutsman recommends people do things that are normally comforting in order to get a handle on the holiday stress．“If they're feeling a little blue, they should try to do things personally satisfying for them．Maybe this is exercise, cooking, reading a book, or massage．”

    　　Stutsman also advises that sometimes “avoidance is actually not such a bad idea”．In some situations, fulfilling social obligations may be self-destructive when the best thing may be to just stay home．“The healthy choice has to do with taking care of oneself．”

    　　Today in schools, it's not unusual for students to sit in the same kinds of desks in the same kinds of classrooms as their parents did．

    　　Schools have made progress by making use of computers and PDAs in the classroom, yet one design company believes that changes are needed, so they describe what a future classroom may look like．“Kids are being taught to sit at these wooden desks that are basically designed for writing,”said Mark Dziersk, the senior vice president of the design．“They're being lectured in a structured environment．”

    　　The solution is a“customizable(按顾主的意思制造的)education system”called Gooru that reorganizes the classroom and replaces books, desks, pens, and so on．The three-part technology system consists of an interactive PDA called the GooBall, a backpack and a removable LCD screen for each student．Students can Sit, stand or lie down when using the devices, and are not limited to desks．

    　　The idea was presented at last month's South by Southwest Interactive Conference．While some educators think the idea is interesting, they doubt whether schools will pay for the expensive and complicated system．

    　　The GooBall is a co-operative communication device with six layers of learning software．The device monitors a student's heart rate and body temperature and uses GPS(Global Position System)to track where they are．It includes instant messaging, a compass, a watch, and a topic-specific quick-thinking system that directs a student to related articles and books about whatever they are studying．Students can also choose an animal painting to show their personality．The backpack provides the main power supply for the system and holds some personal items．The pocket keeps items locked tight with a fingerprint security zipper． The portable screen functions like a laptop, providing wireless Internet access and streaming video．It also has a touch screen surface．

    　　“I think it's an excellent idea,”said Gary Tankard, a sixth-grader who has seen the prototype(原型)．“I'm sure that 90 percent of kids would really like to have it．”
