Maybe ten-year-old Elizabeth put it best when she said to her father. "But. Dad. you can't be healthy if you're dead."
Dad. in a hurry to get home before dark so he could go for a run. had forgotten to wear his safety belt-a mistake 75% of the US population make every day The big question is why.
There have been many myths about safety belts ever since her first appearance in cars some forty years ago. The following are three of the most common.
Myth Number One: It's best to be "thrown clear" of a serious accident.
Truth: Sorry, but any accident serious enough to "throw you clear" is also going to be serious enough to give you a very bad landing. And chances are you'll have traveled through a windshield(挡风玻璃)or door to do it. Studies show that chances of dying after a car accident are twenty-five times greater in cases where people are "thrown clear."
Myth Number Two: Safety belts "trap" people in cars that are burning or sinking in water.
Truth: Sorry again. but studies show that people knocked unconscious(昏迷) due to not wearing safety belts have a greater chance of dying in these accidents People wearing safety belts are usually protected to the point of having a clear head to free themselves from such dangerous situations. not to be trapped in them.
Myth Number Three Safety belts aren't needed at speeds of less than 30 miles per hour Truth: when two cars traveling at 30 mph hit each other. an unbelted driver would meet the windshield with a force equal to diving headfirst into the ground from a height of 10 meters.

Considering Australia' s size and the fact that early settlements were far apart, Australian society is remarkably homogeneous ( 同种的). Its citizens are fundamentally prosperous and the way of life in the major cities and towns is much the same however many miles divide them. It takes a sharp ear to identify regional accents.
However, there is some difference in lifestyle between city settlers and the country people. Almost 90 percent of the population lives in the fast-paced cities along the coast and has little more than a passing familiarity with the desert. The major cities preserve images of colonial heritage, but the overall impression is modem, with new buildings reflecting the country' s youth. In contrast, the rural communities tend to be slow-moving and conservative. For many years, Australia was said to have "ridden on the sheep' s back" , a reference to wool being the country' s main money earner. However, it is no longer dominant ( 主宰的) . Much of Australia' s relatively sound economy is now achieved from natural coal and wheat, and by being the largest diamond producer in the world. Newer industries such as tourism and wine making are also increasingly important. Australians are generally friendly and relaxed, with a modest sense of humor.
Yet, contrary to widespread belief, very few Australians have true prisoner origins. Within only one generation of the arrival of the First Fleet in 1788, Australia had become a nation of immigrants. Originally coming almost entirely from the British Isles, today one in three Australians comes from elsewhere. Australia' s liberal postwar immigration policies led to a flowing of survivors from war-torn Europe, most notably Greeks, Italians, Poles and Germans.
The emphasis has shifted in recent years and today the majority of new immigrants are from Southeast Asia. Today Australia is a "mixture of nations" and although some racism exists, it has generally been a successful experiment and the country is reasonably proud to have one of the most harmonious multicultural communities in the world.
1. What does the writer mean by saying "has little more than a passing familiarity with the desert" in the second paragraph?
A. The major population has a close relationship with the desert.
B. The fast-paced cities are just located by the desert.
C. The major population knows little about the desert.
D. The major population is familiar with the people living in the desert.
2. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
A. The pace of life in the city is different from that in the country.
B. One third of people living in Australia come from Europe.
C. The Australian economy is dependent on sheep exports.
D. Most Australians have ancestors who were prisoners.
3. What used to be Australia' s main money earner?
A. Wheat. B. Wool. C. Tourism. D. Diamond.
4. We can infer from the passage that ____.
A. nothing about Australia' s colonial part in modem cities can be seen by visitors
B. tourism and wine making resulted in fast development in rural communities only
C. immigrants from Europe have brought racial problems
D. Australia' s recent immigration policy encourages immigrants from Southeast Asia
