On a warm Monday, Jenny Neilson bought a sandwich and parked her car under some trees. Rolling down the windows to 　21 in fresh air, she settled back to enjoy her lunch. Suddenly she 22 a big bald（秃顶的）man running through the parking lot. Before she came to 　23 what would happen, the man was there, shouting through her window, “Get out!”Neilson 　24 .

Pulling open her door, the man seized her 　25 the neck and hair, and threw her out of the car onto the ground. She screamed, 　26 her purse and the keys.

Two reporters of the local newspaper, Robert Bruce and Jeff Jackson, just outside their office building on a 　27 , heard the screams and began running.

When they 　28 Neilson’s car, the attacker had jumped into the driver’s seat and was 　29searching for the keys. Bruce opened the door, and he and Jackson dragged the man out. The attacker 30 back. But even in his cornered panic, he was no 　31 for the two athletic men.

Reggie Miller, a worker of the local newspaper, heard the screams, too. He rushed back to the office to 32 the police, and then ran back with some plastic ropes --- used to tie up newspapers.

With his arms 　33 tight behind him, the prisoner looked up and said 　34 , “I hope you guys feel good about yourselves, for you just caught one of the most wanted men.” They 35 him and waited for the police.

Later, Bruce and Jackson were shocked to learn the man was the 　36 carjacker (劫车者) and suspected murderer, whose 　37 --- but with a full head of hair --- had been recently printed in their own newspaper.

Neilson considers herself lucky 　38 she suffered injuries. She believes the story might have had a 　39 ending if those good people had not come to her aid. “Unfortunately,” she said, “many people would 　40 have done what they did, and that is the real truth.”

　 Maybe ten?year?old Elizabeth put it best when she said to her father，“But，Dad，you can’t be healthy if you’re dead.”

　 Dad，in a hurry to get home before dark so he could go for a run，had forgotten to wear his safety belt—a mistake 75% of US population make every day.The big question is why.

　 There have been many myths about safety belts ever since their first appearance in cars some forty years ago.The following are three of the most common.

　 Myth Number One: It’s best to be “thrown clear” of a serious accident.

　 Truth: Sorry，but any accident serious enough to “throw you clear” is going to be serious enough to give you a very bad landing.And chances are you’ll have traveled through a windshield (挡风玻璃)or door to do it.Studies show that chances of dying after a car accident are twenty?five times in cases where people are “thrown clear”.

　 Myth Number Two: Safety?belts “trap” people in cars that are burning or sinking in water.

　 Truth: Sorry again，but studies show that people knocked unconscious (昏迷) due to not wearing safety belts have a greater chance of dying in these accidents.People wearing safety belts are usually protected to the point of having a clear head to free themselves from such dangerous situation，not to be trapped in them.

　 Myth Number Three: Safety belts aren’t needed at speeds of less than 30 miles per hour (mph).

　 Truth: When two cars traveling at 30 mph hit each other，an unbelted driver would meet the windshield with a force equal to diving head first into the ground from a height of 10 metres.

　 you 　　　.

　 A.may be knocked down by other cars

　 B.may get serious hurt thrown out of the car

　 C.may find it impossible to get away from the seat

So she lost the contest.
　　  As the girl walked off the  35 ，the entire audience stood to their feet clapping to applaud her　36  .

He came back to me like a man who had had a very narrow 　54　and I made up my mind to make every effort to study my 　55　.
