11．Tuesday's Amtrak derailment（脱轨） Philadelphia，which claimed eight lives and injured more than 200others，has turned the country's attention to railroad safety．But for those commuters（每日往返上班者） questioning whether or not to board the next train，statistics may offer some reassurance．
According to the scientific journal Bandolier，the lifetime odds of dying on a passenger train in the US are about one in 1，871，241．So trains are still one of the safest modes of transport； in 2013，891U．S．fatalities were linked to rail travel，while 32，700people were killed in highway accidents．
"Train accidents are rare，"Dr．Zarembski，director of the railroad safety program，told The Huffington Post．"Accident rate in 2014was 2.2accidents per million train miles，this number has been declining steadily．"But if you are still concerned about safety-or if you're just curious about which part of the train is the safest place to sit-science has an answer for that too．
The front car of a train is the most dangerous place in the event of a head-on collision，while the last car is less safe if the train is rear-ended（追尾）．In fact，trains are nine times more likely to derail than to hit another train or car head-on or to get hit from behind，according to the Federal Railroad Administration．The administration found that there were about 13，200derailments from 2005to 2014，compared with about 1，450collisions．
Studies suggest that broken rails or welds are the leading cause of derailment，and these problems more often cause derailments near the front of the train．Therefore，choosing a car located in the middle，or one or two back from the middle of the train may be the safest bet，Ross Capon，president of the National Association of Railroad Passengers，told CBS New York．
If you can't get a seat near the midpoint of a train，there's another potential safety factor you might want to consider-namely，which way your seat is facing．"I prefer rear facing so that in most cases you are pushed back into the seat in the event of an emergency braking application，"Zarembski said．
In general，aisle（过道） seats are safer than window seats，where a passenger is more likely to come in contact with broken glass or be thrown out of the train，Capon told CBS New York．Of course，in the very rare event of a catastrophic crash like Tuesday's，there's no guarantee that sitting in a certain place or facing a certain way means you'll escape being injured．

A．describe objectively the serious consequences a derailment may bring about
B．urge people to consider carefully whether to board a train in the future
C．impress on people the poor management of American railway lines
D．persuade people with statistics that it is still safer to travel by train
60．After reading the passage，we can infer that it might be the safest to sitC．

18．Two weeks before my 12th birthday，my teacher asked me to conduct an experiment．When I mixed some powder together，they exploded．Molten lava hit me in the face，but I felt no pain．
I vividly remember standing there in a state of calmness．I thought I was in a dream，but however hard I struggled to swim to the surface of consciousness，I couldn't wake up．I didn't understand how terrifying it was until I heard people saying，"Who's that？"That's when I knew I was unrecognisable．
I was taken to hospital，but the doctors didn't know what to do with me．Later I was flown to Houston for surgery．Between the ages of 13and 16，I had 40operations．As each operation came and went，my vision would come back and then fade again．Eventually，it faded completely and I had what was left of my eyes removed for cosmetic（整形）reasons．
Since then，I have lived in total darkness．Most blind people，even if they don't have any sight they're aware of，are still able to perceive light．That gives them a sense of day and night．But not me．I absolutely lost that sense of time passing．
For many years，I felt my sight loss darkening my life like the loss of my parents from which I would never recover．But when I was in my 40s，I realised I had to find a way to live．I trained to become a counsellor，and that has helped me see my experiences in a different way．I can't fix people's broken lives-just like I can't fix my sight-but I can help them find a way to manage．
Sometimes it feels as if all the struggles and negative experiences I've lived through were in fact a kind of preparation for helping others to make their own way towards the light．
