Few of us have heard of Nils Bohlin, but whenever we take a car journey his invention
makes us safer. Found in almost every modem car, the three-point seat belt reduces our chances of death or injury (伤害）by at least 50% . While feeling thankful to this engineer from Volvo, you may also wonder how he came up with such a great idea. Having worked as a plane designer before, Nils knew clearly that the pilots were willing to put on
anything to keep them safe in an accident, but to his surprise, most people in the cars just didn’t want to be uncomfortable for even a minute. To improve the safety for people in the cars, he decided to find a perfect system which should be simple, effective and convenient. In the end, he invented the three-point seat belt, which has been considered as one of the greatest inventions in history. Seat belts prevent people in the cars from serious injury in five ways. Keep people inside. People who are thrown out from a car are four times more likely to be killed than those who stay inside. Protect the strongest parts of the body. Seat belts are designed to fix your body at its strongest parts. For an older child and adult, these parts are the hips (臀部)and shoulders. Spread out the force in an accident. Seat belts spread the force of the accident over a wide area of the body. By putting less stress on one area, they can help you avoid serious injury. Seat belts also help keep your upper body away from the hard parts of the car if you stop suddenly or are hit by another car. Help the body to slow down, A quick speed causes injury. With the help of the seat belts, your body can have more time to slow down in an accident. Protect your brain and spinal cord (脊柱). Seat belts are designed to protect these two key areas of the human body. Head and spinal cord injuries may be hard to see immediately, but they can cause death. Therefore, it’s of great importance to protect these parts. It takes only a few seconds to buckle up (系好安全带）once you get in the car, but this simple action could save your life. Why wouldn’t you?
49. Three-point seat belts reduce chances of death or injury by at least_ . A. 10% B. 30% C. 40% D. 50%
50. Nils Bohlin invented the three-point seat belt in order to . A. take a car journey quickly B. show thanks to the engineer C. keep the pilots safe in an accident D. improve the safety for people in the cars 51. From the passage we can learn_________.

Eating Together
After my mother passed away and my brother went to study in New Zealand, the first thing that really felt different was the dinner table. My father and I began eating separately. We went out to dinners with our friends or just ate sandwiches in front of our computers. Then, a few weeks before I was set to leave for university, my father walked downstairs. “You know, I think we should start eating together even if it’s just you and me,” he said. “Your mother would have wanted that.” It wasn’t perfect—the meals we made weren’t amazing and we missed Mom and my brother. But there was something special about setting aside time to be with my father. It was a comfortable moment to get away from busy days：an excuse to talk, to think about the day, and recent events. Eating together was a small act, and it needed very little of us—and yet it was surely one of the happiest parts of my day. Sadly, Americans hardly eat together anymore. In fact, most American families report eating a single meal together less than five days a week. It’s a pity that so many Americans are missing out on the meaningful time with their loved ones, and it’s even more than that. Not eating together also has negative (消极的）effects both physically and psychologically (心理上地）.
Children who do not eat dinner with their parents at least twice a week were 40% more likely to be overweight compared to those who do. And students who do not eat with their parents are more likely to be truant at school .Just the opposite, children who do eat dinner with their parents five or more days a week are less likely to run away from school without reason. They also report being closer with their parents than children who eat dinner with their parents less often, according to a study conducted by the National Center at Columbia University. Then how do we eat better, not just from a nutritional perspective (营养角度),but from a psychological one as well? Perhaps seeing eating together as an opportunity to get away with stress, a chance to catch up with those whom we love could help our children do better in school, get in better shape, and be less likely to have problems. Eating together also leads children to report better relationships with their parents and surely relationships between adults can similarly benefit. So try eating together, and you’ll find it’s totally worth it. 53. According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE? A. Most Americans share meaningful time with their loved ones.
B. The writer likes going out to eat sandwiches with friends and parents.
C. Eating together with parents is a big event and needs lots of preparation. D. Children who don't eat dinner with parents are more likely to be overweight. 54. The underlined part “be truant at school” probably means “________”. A. be absent from school B. be pleased at school C. be present at school D. be disappointed in school 55. The writer probably agrees that A. eating together doesn’t have good effects on adults
B. it’s important for the young to eat together with parents C. it’s totally worth spending much money in eating together D. people who eat together often are likely to have problems 【考点】社会现象类阅读
