16．We forgot about speed．To make roadways safer for teens，the nation has focused much attention on such critical issues as distracted （思想不集中的） driving and driving under the influence （of alcohol or drugs）．But speeding---which is arguably even more critical---has largely escaped such notice．
In a study supported by insurer State Farm，the Governors Highway Safety Association found that over the past decade，there were 19，447speed-related crashes involving teen drivers，with speeding as a cause of deadly teen crashes rising from 30% to 33%．
If the US is to continue making progress in teen driving safety，it must address speeding，says Susan Ferguson，a highway safety consultant who authored the report．
"Speeding is something people aren't particularly concerned about，"Ferguson says．"This is the first time，really，that we've focused on this issue．We've known for a while that speeding is an issue for young drivers，especially for young males，"she says．
Half of all deadly crashes involving 16-year-old drivers with three or more passengers are speeding-related，according to the report．
"Unless speeding is recognized as a dangerous behavior，much the same as alcohol-involved driving，it will continue to be difficult to address as a society，"the report says．
Peter Kissinger，president and CEO of AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety，says，"A lot of the traffic safety community believes that the distracted driving debate has unnecessarily taken focus away from speeding and the contribution that speeding makes to the bigger picture．"
Speeding is so deep-rooted in American culture，which will be difficult to address，Kissinger says．His group's Traffic Safety Culture Index，a survey of nearly 4，000people of driving age，found that 63% considered speeding on streets"completely unacceptable"---but 47% had done it in the past month．
The report offers recommendations for state and local governments and for parents．State and local police should enforce （执行） speeding laws and use automated enforcement such as speed cameras．Parents should not purchase vehicles for their teenagers right away．"When a teen first has a license，if they are the primary owner of a vehicle，they are more likely to speed"than in the family car，Ferguson says．Also，parents should choose larger and newer cars and not high-performance vehicles．

15．Researchers at the University of Kansas say that people can accurately judge 90percent of a stranger's personality simply by looking at the person's shoes．
"Shoes convey a thin but useful slice of information about their wearers，"the authors wrote in the new study published in the Journal of Research in Personality．"Shoes serve a practical purpose，and also serve as nonverbal cues （暗示） with symbolic messages．People tend to pay attention to the shoes they and others wear．"
Medical Daily notes that the number of detailed personality traits （特性） detected in the study include a person's general age，their gender，income，political affiliation，and other personality traits，including someone's emotional stability．
Lead researcher OmriGillath said the judgments were based on the style，cost，color and condition of someone's shoes．In the study，63University of Kansas students looked at pictures showing 208different pairs of shoes worn by the study's participants．Volunteers in the study were photographed in their most commonly worn shoes，and then filled out a personality questionnaire．
So，what do your shoes say about your personality？
Some of the results were expected：People with higher incomes most commonly wore expensive shoes，and flashier footwear was typically worn by extroverts（外向性格的人）．
However，some of the more specific results are interesting．For example，"practical and functional"shoes were generally worn by more"agreeable"people，while ankle boots were more closely aligned （与…结盟） with"aggressive"personalities．
The strangest of all may be that those who wore"uncomfortable looking"shoes tend to have"calm"personalities．And if you have several pairs of new shoes or take exceptional care of them，you may suffer from"attachment anxiety"，spending an inordinate （过度的） amount of time worrying about what other people think of your appearance．There was even a political calculation in the mix with more liberal types wearing"shabbier and less expensive"shoes．
The researchers noted that some people will choose shoe styles to mask their actual personality traits，but researchers noted that volunteers were also likely to be unaware that their footwear choices were revealing deep insights into their personalities．
