Question

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

   Experts are not surprised at the study’s results. They always kn〇w s^mer is a danger〇us season i〇r children. During the summer,children are not at school and spend more time outdoors. They are more likely to get into an accident. "While we encourage children to be active and to 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 during National Safe Kids Week,from May 5 to May 12. Here are some important summer safety tips from the NSKC：

★ Obey all the traffic laws.
