A bicycle helmet is a helmet intended to be worn while riding a bicycle.They are designed to reduce impacts to the skull(头颅骨) of a cyclist in falls.However, there is a debate on whether helmets are useful for road cyclists.

The World Health Organization promotes 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. US-based cycling activist John Forester suggests that helmet wearing could prevent 300 deaths a year in the United States 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(碰撞) 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(转移) 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(估计) 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(共识), 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.

Money spent on advertising is money spent as well as any I know of. It serves directly to bring about a rapid sale of goods at reasonable prices, so setting up a firm home market and making it possible to provide for export (出口) at good prices. By drawing attention to new ideas it helps greatly to raise standards of living. By helping to increase demand it causes an increased need for labour, and is therefore a nice way to fight unemployment. It lowers the costs of many services: without advertisements your daily newspaper would cost four times as much, the price of your television program would need to be doubled, and travel by bus or subway would cost more.

  And perhaps most important of all, advertising provides a promise of reasonable value in the products and services you buy. Besides the fact that twenty-seven Acts of Parliament(国会)govern the terms of advertising, no regular advertiser dare produce anything that fails to live up to the promise of his advertisements. He might fool some people for a little while through misleading advertising. He will not do so for long, for the public has the good sense not to buy the poor goods more than once. If you see product frequently advertised, it is the proof I know that the product does what is promised for it, and that it has good value.

  Advertising does more for the good of the public than any other force I can think of.

  There is one more point I feel I ought to touch on. Recently I heard a well-known television person declared that he was against advertising because it persuades rather than informs. He was telling us the real difference. Of course advertising tries to persuade.

  If its message were nothing but information, that would be difficult to get more people to buy, for even the choice of the colour of a shirt is a bit persuasive (有说服力的)--advertising would be so boring that no one would pay any attention. But perhaps that is what the well-known television person wants.

By the first sentence of the passage the writer means that ___.

  A. he is fairly familiar with the cost of advertising

  B. everybody knows well that advertising is a waste of money

  C. advertising costs more money than everything else

  D. money on advertising is worth spending

In the passage, which of the following is NOT included in the advantages of advertising?

  A. Getting greater fame.              B. Providing more jobs.

  C. Raising living standards.           D. Reducing newspaper cost.

The writer thinks that the well-known TV person is _____.

  A. quite right in passing his judgment on advertising

  B. interested in nothing but the buyers' attention

  C. correct in telling the difference between persuasion and information

  D. obviously unfair in his views on advertising

In the writer's opinion, ________.

  A. advertising can seldom bring material interest to man by providing information

  B. advertising informs people of new ideas rather than wins them over

  C. there is nothing wrong with advertising in persuading the buyer

  D. the buyer is not interested in getting information from an advertisement
