Maybe many people don't think how we can make our roads safer. Every year several thousand people are killed on the roads in Great Britain. Every year between one and two hundred thousand people are injured. These people are killed or injured in the road accidents.
Many people are careless when they are in the roads. Most of them don't always obey（遵守）the rules though the rules can make the roads safe. If everyone obeys the rules, the roads will be much safer.
Different countries have different rules. So it is important to remember the rules. In many countries traffic keeps to the right. But in Great Britain traffic keeps to the left. Cars and buses and bikes in the country must keep to the left side of the roads. So before you cross the road in Great Britain, you should stop and look right first, then look left, look right again. If you are sure the road is clear, you can cross the road. If there are children or very old people on the road, you should stop and wait to cross the road. Not only should we obey the rules, but also we should teach our children to obey the rules. Thus（这样）we can make the roads much safer.

Now satellites are helping to forecast the weather. They are in space, and they can reach any part of the world. The satellites take pictures of the atmosphere（大气）, because this is where the weather forms. They send these pictures to the weather stations. So meteorologists（气象学家）can see the weather of any part of the world. From the pictures, the scientists can often say how the weather will change.
Today, nearly five hundred weather stations in sixty countries receive satellite pictures. When they receive new pictures, the meteorologists compare them with earlier ones. Perhaps they may find that the clouds have changed during the last few hours. This may mean that the weather on the ground may soon change, too. In their next weather forecast, the meteorologists can say this.
So the weather satellites are a great help to the meteorologists. Before satellites were invented, the scientists could forecast the weather for about 24 or 48 hours. Now they can make good forecasts for three or five days. Soon, perhaps, they may be able to forecast the weather for a week or more ahead（提前）.
