Safety in the highway is not totally out of our hands. Here are four ways we can do to protect our?selves when we travel.

10 People in small cars are injured more often and more severely than people travelling in large cars. Factories of small cars are strengthening their products' safety, which helps. But the mix of large cars and small cars on the road is the main reason of the problem.

Being thrown into glass and metal car parts, or be?ing thrown from the car can really hurt or even kill you.

11   The safety belt's main purpose is to pull you back if your car has a sudden crash with another Vehicle or object, or if it rolls over. A belt can reduce the chance of deadly injury by 45 % and the chance of serious injury by 50%.

Air bags are important. More than half of all new cars sold have air bags. Air bags provide protection in frontal crashes—the type of crash that kills the most drivers―when they are also wearing safety belts. Most people are demanding air bags in the cars they buy.

12   Effective as they are, they can't take the place of safety belts.

Drunk driving crashes are less likely to happen if you don't drink. 13 Many people have realized that drunk driving can lead to death and injury, prison time and other results. There are movements to strengthen penalties(处罚)for drinking and driving.

A.    How to drive safely?

B.    You are safer in a large car.

C.    How to protect ourselves in the highway?

D.    Air bags are not installed in all cars.

E.    That's why safety belts should be worn.

F.    Drunk driving is the most serious problem.

G.    But the protection provided by air bags is limited in side or rear crashes.

Investing in yourself

Figuring out how to invest your money can be a dif?ficult task. This is something that you will want to learn how to do.

9 Things that will improve your knowledge, skills or health are all great investments. However, be?fore you start, you need to be clear about what you will gain out of doing all of these things.

You may think investing in yourself means inves?ting in your education. 10 . There are some other things you can do, such as buying a gym membership or learning a new skill.

So what are some specific things you can do? 11 . Reading books can really expand your mind and allow you to learn different skills and gain knowledge. I'm talking about the books where you will actually learn a new skill, not fiction books.

You can also take courses and attend seminars. These programmes are taught by people with a high level of knowledge or skill. 12 Only in this way can you avoid being fooled by some sales presentation.

Moreover, investing in yourself is a safe way to keep your money. Although a savings account is seen as the most secure investment, that isn't 100% safe. Even if you never experience your bank closing down, the return is little when inflation(通货膨胀)is taken into con?sideration. 13 But over time, they will show up in terms of your happiness level as well as your level of success.

A.    This is just one way.

B.    The benefits will stay with you.

C.    If you aren't a reader, you should start with that.

D.    The more you do this, the more valuable you will be.

E.    Of course, you need to do some research before in?vesting.

F.    The best way to invest your money is to invest it in yourself.

G.    When you invest in yourself, you may not see gains right away.
