MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer．
A bicycle helmet is a helmet intended to be worn while riding a bicycle．They are designed to reduce impacts to the skull of a cyclist in falls．However, there is a debate on whether helmets are useful for road cyclists．
The World Health Organization promote the use of helmets as a strategy for preventing people' s heads from being injured by bicycle crashes or falls．Use of cycling helmets is supported by numerous groups in the United States．U．S．-based cycling activist John Forester suggests that helmet wearing could prevent 300 deaths a year in the U．S．out of a total of 1530 preventable deaths．Public Health Law Research reports that there is enough evidence to establish that bicycle helmet laws are an effective public health intervention(干涉)aimed to reduce the number of head-related deaths．Received opinion in some countries is that bicycle helmets are useful and that every cyclist should wear one．Professional bodies elsewhere have agreed, such as the Swiss Council for Accident Prevention．
Mayer Hillman, a transport and road safety analyst from the UK, does not support the use of helmets, reasoning that they are of very limited value in the event of a collision with a car．He compares it to drawing conclusions on whether it is worthwhile to buy lottery tickets．Cyclists' representative groups complain that focus on helmets diverts attention from other issues which are much more important for improving bicycle safety, such as road danger reduction．The UK's largest cyclists' organization, the CTC, believes that the "overall health effects of compulsory helmets are negative．" The same report estimated that universal helmet use would save the life of one child aged 0 to 15 each year．
Up to now, the debate is with no consensus, but an organization has published a review of studies in 2011, saying there is a good deal of evidence that those wearing a helmet are more likely to crash than bareheaded cyclists．

PAUL’S brother bought him a new car as a Christmas present. On Christmas Eve (前夜), Paul saw a boy walking around the new car, admiring it.
"Is this your car, Mister?" he asked.
Paul nodded. "My brother gave it to me for Christmas." The boy was amazed. "You mean your brother just gave it to you? Boy, I wish...." Paul knew what he was going to wish for — a brother who would buy him a car. But the boy surprised Paul.
"I wish that I could be a brother like that," he said.
Astonished, Paul invited the boy to go for a ride in the new car.
After a short ride, the boy said, "Would you mind driving in front of my house?" Paul thought the boy wanted to show the car to his neighbors. But Paul was wrong again.
The boy ran up the steps of his house. Soon he came back carrying his crippled (残废的) little brother. He pointed to the car. "Look!" he said to the little boy. "His brother gave him that car for Christmas. Some day I’m gonna give you one just like it!"
Paul got out and lifted the little boy into his car. The older brother climbed in beside him and the three of them went on a wonderful holiday ride.

Though X City may not be as well-known for public transportation as some other cities in the country, it does offer buses, the light rail, the subway and taxis to make life without a vehicle possible.
If you’re a college student, there’s an additional resource available -- the X City’s Network. Started in 1999, the Network is essentially funded by the schools, but about 17 percent comes through fundraising. Around 70,000 riders a year use the Network, which runs for the duration of the academic year. Stops are at the various campuses as well as the Town Center, the Inner Harbor, the railway station and the City Square.
Students from seven schools like and use the network. Not only is it free and they know exactly what to expect, but also it's a safe ride.
If you’ve got a bicycle and are in the mood for some exercise, you can take advantage of several bicycle paths throughout the city. The two main paths are the G Falls path and the J Falls path. The G Falls path starts at Lily Park. The J Falls path runs from Daffodil Park to the railway station, passing by several historic attractions.
If you don’t have the patience to wait for the buses or the light rail, or don’t want to have to make several transfers, then you might want to take a taxi. Cabs run up and down the main streets and can be easily found at the Inner Harbor or other such centers of activity. If you’re a little bit out of the way, though, you will probably have to call one of the several cab companies and have them send a cab to your location.
Staying in town, neighborhoods all have multiple transportation services if you don’t have a car. You can make various choices to do shopping, to the movies, to baseball games, to museums, to the malls and even to work. So, even if you don’t have a car here, that shouldn’t prevent you from moving easily.
