 Children know that summer is probably the most fun of all seasons. However, experts say it is also the most dangerous, especially, for children aged 14 and under. In its first study of children's safety in the US, the National Safe Kids Campaign (NSKC) found that nearly half of the injury-related (与受伤相关的) deaths among children happen in summer.

    Experts are not surprised by the study’s results. They always know summer is a dangerous season for children. During the summer, children are out of school and spend more time outdoors. They are more likely to get into an accident or be injured. "While we encourage children to be active and spend time outdoors, they need to understand the importance of safety," said Everett Koop, an expert of the NSKC.

    To help children stay safe, the NSKC started a "Make it a Safe Kids Summer" Campaign (运动) during National Safe Kids Week, from May 5 through May 12. Here are some important summer safety tips from the NSKC:

● Always wear your seat belt.

● Make sure there is an adult around when you decide to go swimming.

● Wear a life jacket (救生衣) when on a boat or doing water sports.

● Obey all traffic laws.

　 A group of swans (天鹅) flew down to a beach where a crow (乌鸦) was jumping around . The crow watched them with disdain (鄙视).

“You have no flying skills at all ! ” he said to the swans. “ All you can do is to move your wings. Can you turn over in the air ? No , that’s beyond you. Let’s have a flying compitition. I’ll show you what real flying is ! ”

　 One of the swans , a strong young male , took up the challenge. The crow flew up and began to show his skills. He flew in circles, performed other flying tricks, and then came down and looked proudly at the swan.

Now it was the swan’s turn. He flew up , and began flying over the sea. The crow flew after him , making all kinds of comments (评价) about his flying. They flew on and on till they couldn’t see the land and there was nothing but water on all sides. The crow was making fewer and fewer comments. He was so exhausted that he found it hard to stay in the air, and had to struggle to keep himself from falling into the water.

The swan pretended ( 假装) not to notice , and said, “ Why do you keep touching the water , brother ? Is that another trick ?”　　　 “ No ,” said the crow. He knew he had lost the competition. “ I’m in trouble because of my pride ! If you don’t help me , I’ll lose my life… “

The swan took pity on him , and took him on his shoulders (肩膀) and flew back to the beach.
