  When Sean Aiken bought a bike helmet(头盔), he never thought it would help him so soon.Only a week later, it saved his life.He was hit by a car while riding home from school in Tucson, Arizona.His bike was broken into pieces in the accident.But Sean was alive.His helmet protected him from serious head injury(负伤).“I used to think helmets were unnecessary.I thought I would never get hurt,” Sean said.“But it can and will happen to you if you’re not careful.”Sean later spoke before the Tucson City Council about the need of bike-helmet laws.This led to a new Arizona law that requires people under the age of 18 to wear a bike helmet while cycling.

  Fifteen-year-old Mike Jones of Sioux Falls, South Dakota, knows about safety.Two years ago, he was seriously hurt in a car accident.Mike hurt his head badly when he was thrown from a van.“I don’t know why I didn’t wear a safety belt that day.Now I always wear it,” Mike said.Today, he can still think of that experience.“I used to love sports, but I can’t do them anymore.I can’t risk(冒险)getting another serious injury,” he said.

  Like Mike, many people around the U.S.are becoming more safety-wise.“Parents can’t watch kids every minute.Kids must know how to be safe.It’s in their control and power,” says Susan Gallagher, director of the Safety Network.

  New technology is also helping to prevent injuries.More people than ever before use products such as fire alarms in their homes and seat belts in their cars.Most cyclists know that they should use bike helmets.New laws, such as the bike-helmet law Sean Aiken helped pass, are also making more people use these products.The number of serious injuries caused by car accidents and fires has gone down over the years.

Kids are taking action to help prevent injuries.Like Sean Aiken and Mike Jones, they know that safety works.

阅读下面短文,从每题所给的四个选项中,选出最佳答案。
This year some twenty-three hundred teenagers(young people aged from13~19)from all over the world will spend about ten months in U.S. homes. They will attend U.S. schools, meet U.S. teenagers, and form impressions of the real America. At the same time, about thirteen hundred American teenagers will go to other countries to learn new languages and gain a new understanding of the rest of the world.
Here is a two-way student exchange in action. Fred, nineteen, spent last year in Germany with George’s family. In turn, George’s son Mike spent a year in Fred’s home in America.
Fred, a lively young man, knew little German when he arrived, but after two months’ study the language began to come to him. School was completely different from what he had expected—much harder. Students rose respectfully when the teacher entered the room. They took fourteen subjects instead of the six that are usual in the United States. There were almost no outside activities.
Family life, too, was different. The father’s word was law, and all activities were around the family rather than the individual. Fred found the food too simple at first. Also, he missed having a car.
“Back home, you pick up some friends in a car and go out and have a good time. In Germany, you walk, but you soon learn to like it.”
At the same time, in America, Mike, a friendly German boy, was also forming his idea. “I suppose I should criticize(批评)American schools,” he said. “It is far too easy by our level. But I have to say that I like it very much. In Germany we do nothing but study. Here we take part in many outside activities. I think that maybe your schools are better in training for citizens. There ought to be some middle ground between the two.”
