　　When Sean Aiken bought a bike helmet(頭盔), he never thought it would help him so soon．Only a week later, it saved his life．He was hit by a car while riding home from school in Tucson, Arizona．His bike was broken into pieces in the accident．But Sean was alive．His helmet protected him from serious head injury(負傷)．“I used to think helmets were unnecessary．I thought I would never get hurt,” Sean said．“But it can and will happen to you if you’re not careful．”Sean later spoke before the Tucson City Council about the need of bike-helmet laws．This led to a new Arizona law that requires people under the age of 18 to wear a bike helmet while cycling．

　　Fifteen-year-old Mike Jones of Sioux Falls, South Dakota, knows about safety．Two years ago, he was seriously hurt in a car accident．Mike hurt his head badly when he was thrown from a van．“I don’t know why I didn’t wear a safety belt that day．Now I always wear it,” Mike said．Today, he can still think of that experience．“I used to love sports, but I can’t do them anymore．I can’t risk(冒險)getting another serious injury,” he said．

　　Like Mike, many people around the U．S．are becoming more safety-wise．“Parents can’t watch kids every minute．Kids must know how to be safe．It’s in their control and power,” says Susan Gallagher, director of the Safety Network．

　　New technology is also helping to prevent injuries．More people than ever before use products such as fire alarms in their homes and seat belts in their cars．Most cyclists know that they should use bike helmets．New laws, such as the bike-helmet law Sean Aiken helped pass, are also making more people use these products．The number of serious injuries caused by car accidents and fires has gone down over the years．

Kids are taking action to help prevent injuries．Like Sean Aiken and Mike Jones, they know that safety works．

　　In late April, 33-year-old Li Yang climbed into her new car, Suzuki Alto and headed west．She“just kept going to see how far I could get by myself．”Six days and 2,575 kilometers later, she arrived in Lhasa, the Tibetan capital．Happy and tired, she wrote an article and put it on the Internet after she had a good sleep, talking about her travel experience to Lhasa with photos．

　　As people become richer and richer, new car prices are falling down quickly, and the government builds new ways, many Chinese people think it is enjoyable to have their own cars instead of bicycles．The large number of cars has started a new cultural revolution(革命), changing the life and society just like what happened in America 50 years ago．

　　In Shanghai, more and more cars have appeared on the roads since 2002．At rush hour, a taxi ride from one side of Huangpu River to the other can take more than an hour．Although the government has done a lot to make the traffic condition better and prevent more traffic accidents from happening, the number of cars on the roads is multiplying(成倍的增加)．

　　Private cars have brought about a new class of society, who drive to their offices from large, modern homes in the suburbs(郊區(qū))．“I enjoy the drive,”says a big company manager, of the 30-minute-trip to his office in the centre of Shanghai．“I know the cost of driving is much higher than travel by bus,”he said．“But this way, I feel more comfortable and it is much faster．”

　　You either have it, or you don’t－a sense of direction, that is．But why is it that some people could find their way across the Sahara without a map, while others can lose themselves in the next street?

　　Scientists say we’re all born with a sense of direction, but it is not properly understood how it works．One theory is that people with a good sense of direction have simply worked harder at developing it．Research being carried out at Liverpool University supports this idea and suggests that if we don’t use it, we lose it．

　　“Children as young as seven have the ability to find their way around,”says Jim Martland，Research Director of the project．“However, if they are not a11owed out alone or are taken everywhere by car, they never develop the skills．”

　　Jim Martland also says that young people should be taught certain skills to improve their sense of direction．He makes the following suggestions：

　　●If you are using a map, turn it so it connects with the way you are facing．

　　●If you leave your bike in a strange place, put it near something like a big stone or a tree．Note landmarks on the route as you go away from your bike．When you return, go back along the same route．

　　●Simplify the way of finding your direction by using lines such as streets in a town, streams, or walls in the countryside to guide you．Count your steps so that you know how far you have gone and note any landmarks to help you．

　　Now you need never get lost again!

　　Jogging is basically running at a steady(穩(wěn)定的)speed over short or long distances．It became popular some twenty years ago and has remained a favorite way of keeping fit for lots of people．

　　One of the main advantages of jogging over many other sports is that it can be done anywhere．People jog in parks, in the countryside and even in urban areas．No special equipment is required－no costly hats, or balls, and no expensive sports kit．Good quality running shoes are advisable．Special jogging suits are widely available these days and can be bought quite cheaply but are not necessary．In addition to being able to jog anywhere, you can also jog at any time, in any season!It’s not unusual to see joggers exercising in the height of summer or in the depth of winter!

　　The act of jogging doesn’t require any special training or skill．You do need to be basically healthy and then, after a few basic warm-up bends and stretches, you are ready to begin．You simply start running, gently, and then build up to a steady speed．Do not over-tire yourself by trying to go too fast．It is best for you to run at a steady and comfortable speed．

　　Jogging is an individual sport．You don’t need to wait until you have gathered a team or found a partner．You can jog alone．A few words of warning however：lone women joggers should be especially careful when choosing jogging routes, particularly at night time．

　　Jogging is excellent for keeping fit．It’s good for the lungs, the heart and the circulation．It’s easy and it’s convenient．Why don’t you try it?If you require more information, talk to one of the instructors at the sports centre．We are only too happy to help．Please remember：if you do decide to jog, talk to your doctor first if you have any health worries．Happy jogging!

　　Jackie Joyner-Kersee had a serious asthma attack while running a race at the 1994 U．S．Olympic Festival．

　　“I wasn’t afraid of running; I was afraid I might die,”said Joyner-Kersee．“I said ‘Don’t be afraid…just hold on．”

　　So, what is asthma?It’s a health condition that makes it hard to breathe．Although it comes and goes, once you have asthma, you have it for a long time．Different treatments are used for asthma．There are very strong drugs that can be taken for a long time with few side effects．Today, even people with serious asthma can take part in sports．

　　Joyner-Kersee has had problems with asthma for many years．She said,“I didn’t have this as a little girl．It wasn’t until I went to California that I noticed it, and then I didn’t want to accept it．When I start feeling good, I stop taking the medicine．It will be all right…I hope．”

　　The race was supposed to start at 5∶35 p.m．At 5∶00, she began to have trouble breathing．She was given a breathing test and treatment by a doctor．She said she thought about not running．She was out of breath．

　　“It’s just hard running with asthma,”she said．“When I experienced this in practice…I couldn’t breathe．It was really hard for me．”She said the problem with asthma is that you don’t know when it will happen．She was fine when she arrived at the stadium．The breathing treatment helped her．

　　Joyner-Kersee’s experience shows that medical treatment is important．First, if you think you have asthma, see a doctor．Asthma drugs can protect your lungs．Second, pay attention to your health．Tell your doctor immediately if you wake up and have trouble breathing．This means the condition is getting worse．Many people don’t want to be known to have asthma, and then they must go to the hospital．

　　Most importantly, remember that with asthma, you can have a normal life．You can even win an Olympic gold medal．

　　Who are the pop stars singing all day long on your MP3 player? They may be Jay Chou, Angela Chang or S．H．E．But when it comes to a foreign singer, Avril Lavigne is the one who is worth listening to．

　　The Canadian star's hit single Girlfriend was named the top download of 2007 by the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry(國際唱片業(yè)協(xié)會)．She came to China last year for her"The Best Damn Tour"concerts．

　　The pop/rock princess(公主)played at Guangzhou first on September 27, followed by other cities including Chengdu(September 30), Shanghai(October 4)and Beijing(October 6)．Lavigne performed her most popular hits in the concerts, including Complicated, Girlfriend, and My Happy Ending．

　　Lavigne has been on the music scene for six years．She has proven that she is not simply another pretty face．Lavigne prefers to wear loose(寬松的)trousers, old T-shirts and a frown(皺眉)．That's not like the tight clothes and sweet smiles of many pop stars．

　　Lavigne knew that she could never be like Britney Spears．In her high school days,"I was only around guys,"she said．"I hung out with guys, playing hockey(曲棍球)and sometimes getting in fights．My band members were all guys．"

　　It was not until she got older that she started acting more girly．"From then to now, I look really different－but that's called growing up,"she said．

　　Lavigne was only 15 when she was discovered．At that time she had no idea how to make an album．"A career(職業(yè))just came early for me．I was trying to figure out this life,"she said．"My friends still don't know if they want to be a teacher or a doctor．When I talk to them, they'll tell me they have exams the next day．"

　　So what does Lavigne think about life?"Life is like a roller coaster(過山車)．Live it, be happy,"she said．
