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.

Today we are told, children don't spend enough time in the fresh air. Many of them are addicted to a screen either on a computer or a TV―they seem to be living in a virtual world. They have lost touch with nature.

But now 400 organizations in theUK, from playgroups to the National Health Service,are encoura?ging children to have some "wild time". They want kids to swap at least 30 minutes of watching TV or playing computer games for time of playing outside. Activities such as building dens, climbing trees and playing hide-and-seek are just some of the things kids can do. Even if they live in a city?they can go on adventures in the gar?den or the park.

Children often need a helping hand from Mum and Dad. They need to be shown what to do and where to go. Andy Simpson from the National Health Service says, "We want parents to see what this magical wonder product does for their kids' development, independence and creativity,by giving wild time to go.,,

So despite the complicated world that young people grow up in now, it seems that going back to basics and experiencing "nature's playground" is what modern chil?dren need. David Bond from Project Wild Thing says, "We need to make more space for wild time in children's daily routine,freeing this generation of kids to have the sort of experiences that many of us took for granted.,,

This might sound a bit old-fashioned to you, or maybe, like me, it's made you think about sticking on your boots, getting outdoors and reliving your child?hood. There's no age limit on enjoying yourself!
