    Safety in thehighway is not totally out of hands. Here are four
ways we canprotect ourselves when we travel.
    You are safer in a  large car. People in small cars are
injured more often and more severely than  people traveling in
large cars. Factories of small cars are strengthening their
products' safety, which helps. But the mix of large cars and
small cars on the road is the main reason of the problem.
       Being thrown into glass and metal car parts, or being
thrown from the car, can really damage to you. That's why
safety belts should be worn. The safety belt's main purpose is
       if your car has a sudden crash with another vehicle or
object, or if it rolls over. A belt can reduce the chance of fatal
injury by 45% and the chance of serious injury by 50%.
     Air bags are important. More than half of all new cars sold
have air bags. Air bags provide protection in frontal ( 正面的)
crashes-the type of crash that kills the most drivers-
when they are also wearing safety belts. Most people are
demanding air bags in the cars they buy. But the protection
provided by air bags is limited in side or rear crashes; effective
as they are, they can't take the place of safety belts.
      Drunk driving crashes are less likely to happen if you don't
drink. Drunk driving is the most serious problem. Many people
have realized that drunk driving can lead to death and injury,
prison time and other results. There are movements to
strengthen penalties ( 处罚) for drinking and driving.

     At one time, computers were expected largely to remove the need for paper copies of documents (文件)
because they could be stored electronically. But for all the texts that are written, stored and sent electronically,
a lot of them are still ending up on paper.
     It is difficult to measure the quantity of paper used as a result of use of Internet-connected computers,
although just about anyone who works in an office can tell you that when e-mail is introduced, the printers
start working overtime. "I feel in my bones this revolution is causing more trees to be cut down," says Ted
Smith of the Earth Village Organisation.
     Perhaps best sign of how computer and Internet use pushes up demand for paper comes from the high-tech
industry itself, which sees printing as one of its most promising new markets. Several Internet companies have
been set up to help small businesses print quality documents from a computer. Earlier this week. Hewlett-
Packard Co. announced a plan to develop new technologies that will enable people to print even more so they
can get a hard copy of a business document, a medical record or just a one-line e-mail, even if they are nowhere
near a computer. As the company sees it, the more use of the Internet the greater demand for printers.
     Does all this mean environmental concerns (环境问题) have been forgotten? Some activists suggest people
have been led to believe that a lot of dangers to the environment have gone away. "I guess people believe that
the problem is taken care of, because of recycling (回收利用)," said Kelly Quirke, director of the Rainforest
Action Network in San Francisco. Yet Quirke is hopeful that high-tech may also prove helpful. He says printers
that print on both sides are growing in popularity. The action group has also found acceptable paper made from
materials other than wood, such as agricultural waste.

     Feel tired lately? Has the doctor said he can't find, even with the most advanced equipment, anything
wrong with you?
     Then consider this, you might be in a state of sub-health. Sub-health, also called the third state, is
explained as a borderline state between health and disease. This is believed to be caused by the stress people
have in their everyday lives.
     According to a survey by the World Health Organization, over 45 percent of sub-healthy people are
middle-aged or elderly. The percentage is even higher among people who work in management positions as
well as students at exam-time.
     Symptoms (症状) include a lack of energy, depression, slow reaction, insomnia (失眠),nervous, poor
memory, or sometimes shortness of breath, sweating and aching in the waist and legs.
     Medical experts are offering some advice to reduce pains. They consider the key to preventing and
recovering from sub-health is to form good living habits, exercise regularly, and take part in open air
activities.
     As for meals, people are advised to eat less salt and sugar. They should also eat more fresh vegetables,
fruits, and fish, as they are rich in vitamins and are important to the body. They also say that a balanced diet
is very helpful in avoiding sub-health.
     Anyhow, work is not all of the life. Your life and work are an entire whole. Satisfy your needs, create
calmness in your day and renew your spirit. You will find that focusing on forming more balance in your life
can help your work improve, You will be more relaxed, better able to focus and better able to produce high
