    Collecting opens new worlds for you, but this is only one of the reasons to collect. Here are some more.
    Collecting tells stories. There is a story behind every object (物品) in a collection. There is your story:
the story of when and where you get each object and what it means to you. The objects themselves also
tell stories. If an object is old, it may tell the stories of other people who once owned (拥有) or used it.
If it's new, it can tell you a lot about its own time and place.
    Collecting teaches you many things. Historical (历史的) objects teach us about important events, great
heroes, or everyday life in the past. New objects show today's technology (技术) and our way of life.
Plants, animals and stones teach us about nature. 
    Collecting lets you share your knowledge with others. When you show your collection to your family
or friends, you teach them new and interesting things. Kids all over the world are collectors, so while you're
having fun learning about your collection, you can also make new friends and share your knowledge.

  The motor vehicle has killed and disabled more people in its brief history than any bomb or weapon ever invented.Much of the blood on the street flows essentially from uncivil behavior of drivers who refuse to respect the legal and moral rights of others.So the killing on the road may be regarded as a social problem.

  In fact, the enemies of society on wheels are rather harmless people--just ordinary people acting carelessly, you might say.But it is a general truth both of law and common morality that carelessness is no excuse when one’s actions could bring death or damage to others.A minority of the killers go even beyond carelessness to total negligence(  ).

  Researchers have estimated that as many as 80 percent of all automobile accidents can be attributed to the psychological condition of the driver.Emotional upsets can distort(歪曲)drivers’ reactions, slow their judgment, and blind them to dangers that might otherwise clear.The experts warn that it is necessary for every driver to make a conscious effort to keep one’s emotions under control.

  Yet the irresponsibility that accounts for much of the problem is not confined to drivers, Street walkers regularly violate traffic regulations, they are at fault in most vehicle walker accidents, and many cyclists even believe that they are not subject to the basic rules of the mad.

  Significant legal advances have been made towards safer driving in the past few years.Safety standards for vehicle have been both at the point of manufacture and through periodic mad-worthiness inspection.In addition, speed limits have been lowered.Due to these measures, the accident rate has decreased.But the accident experts still worry because there has been little or no improvement in the way drivers behave.The only real and lasting solution, say the experts, is to convince people that driving is a skilled task requiring constant care and concentration.Those who fail to all these things present a threat to those with whom they share the mad.

Social Customs

  The Americans and the British not only speak the same language but also share a large number of social customs. For example, in both America and England people shake hands when they meet each other for the first time. This is often true for women as well as for men. Also most Englishmen will open a door for a woman or offer their seats to a woman and so will most Americans.

  Neither the British nor the Americans object to (反对) standing in a queue, at the post office, the movies, the bank or anywhere. Promptness is important both in England and America. That is, if a dinner invitation is for seven o'clock, the dinner guest either arrives close to the time or calls up to explain why he will be late or why he can't come. Of course, these two peoples have other customs that are different: the Americans have “coffee breaks”, the British more often have “tea breaks”, for example. But there is much more that they have in common.
