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 the 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( 神话)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 also 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 greater 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 situations, not to be trapped in them.
  Myth Number Three: Safety belts aren"t needed at speeds of less than 30 miles per hour
  Truth: when two cars traveling at 30 mph hit each other. An unbelted driver would meet the windshield with a force equal to diving headfirst into the ground from a height of 10 meters.
小题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.
小题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
小题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 seriously hurt being thrown out of the car
C. may find it impossible to get away from the seat
D. may get caught in the car door
小题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
小题5:What is the advice given in the text?

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.

There is much more to growing up in a bilingual(双语的) family than learning two languages, and the cultural influences from both cultures are just as important.
In July we had a curious incident that shows the slight differences between cultures. My son has already changed a few of his baby teeth and since we lived in Italy we decided to go with the Italian version(版本) of the Tooth Fairy, which is not a fairy(仙女) but a little mouse. So last year when he lost his first tooth we had a visit from the little mouse who took the tooth away and left a rather good amount of coins --- when he lost the second tooth a few days later, however, the amount was significantly less! That in itself caused quite a few questions, but the real questions started when in July during a visit to the UK another tooth left my son’s mouth in Tooth Fairy land! The grandparents made a real problem out of it --- it was their first grandson’s tooth they got to say Goodbye to, so it was Tooth Fairy and rather generous, too!
The Qs & As
Son: Mum, how is the little mouse going to smell my tooth all this way? (as the story goes the little mouse smells a milk tooth and comes to collect it)
Me: No dear, it won’t! We are in England now so the Tooth Fairy will come.
Son: Oh, is she stronger than the little mouse? (I knew where this was going)
Me: She is very strong, and she is magic.
Son: What does the Tooth Fairy bring? (straight to the point)
Me: I am not sure. We’ll find out maybe a nice message.
Son: So is the little mouse coming too?
Me: No, it won’t make it all the way from Italy.
Son: But why don’t they have little mice in England?
Me: Because here the Tooth Fairy collects all baby teeth and she’s too fast, so the little mouse would always get there late.
Son: Oh!?
小题1:Italian kids are supposed to believe ________ will come and collect the milk teeth.
A.a little mouse
B.Tooth Fairy
C.their parents
D.the grandparents
小题2:The author thought Tooth Fairy would be rather generous because ________.
A.Italian parents often give much money for their kids’ lost baby teeth[
B.she knew Tooth Fairy was more generous than the little mouse
C.she knew the grandparents would give her son a big gift
D.English people are usually more generous than Italians
小题3:Hearing “Oh, is she stronger than the little mouse?”, the author knew her son was actually worried about ________.
A.the tooth fairy’s health
B.the little mouse’s coming
C.the amount of coins he could get
D.the story his grandparents know
小题4:By telling this story, the author intends to say it’s important to _________ in a bilingual family.

B.help kids choose one of the cultures
C.teach kids two languages
D.keep the balance of both cultures

My dad was never the kind to offer many words of love or encouragement. But we knew he loved us... he just had his own way of showing it.
When I was a teen, we were seasonal campers at a family campground almost an hour outside the city where we lived. Each family had their own campsite with water and electric, and you basically parked your camper there from May through October. Most "Seasonals" visited them every weekend during those months, with the occasional weeklong stay. There were plenty of other kids who camped seasonally each weekend, and they came to be some of my closest friends. Of course, many of them were boys.
We kids paired up with our little boyfriends or girlfriends, and we"d hold hands as we"d walk around the campground. We"d play ping-pong, have some snacks, and play songs. Most weekends were pretty similar, but the couples would change. You"d see so-and-so with a different so-and-so than they were with the weekend before. You know how it is when you"re a teen — a three-week relationship is a really long time.
So, needless to say, my teen years were spent with quite a few different boys. But every single one of them had something in common... they"d all received The Evil Eye.
The Evil Eye was a magical sort of thing. One simple look from my dad, and the boy immediately knew not to mess with me. It was as if he could send his warnings through invisible laser(激光)beams that shot directly from his eyes to the boys" brains.
"You will not put your hands on my daughter... You will not kiss my daughter... You will not even whisper sweet nothings into my daughter"s ear."
I remember one night in particular, walking with a boy around the campground after dark. We came from one direction, and my dad from the other. The boy and my dad locked eyes for a brief second, then the boy dropped my hand like a hot potato and turned away, giving me a quick, "See ya later."
Yes, the Evil Eye. Best way ever to keep wandering teen boy hands away from your daughters.  
小题1:The Evil Eye in the passage implies that__________.
A.Dad gets angry easily
B.Dad’s eyes are like evil’s
C.Dad’s eyes are ugly-looking
D.Dad’s eyes are protective to his daughter
小题2:The underlined words “mess with” in paragraph 5 most probably means_________.
A.cause troubleB.make untidy
C.get married toD.talk to
小题3:
A.As teenagers, we went camping every weekend.
B.We made lots of friends during the seasonal camping.
C.We had regular boyfriends or girlfriends and enjoyed ourselves.
D.The boy dropped my hand and turned away because he loved The Evil Eye.
小题4:It can be inferred from the passage that the author ___________.
A.is a teenage girl who loves her father
B.is a teenage boy who hates his father
C.is now an adult who has come to understand her father’s love
D.used to be a naughty boy who changed girlfriends now and then
