   Forty percent of teens say they have been hit or nearly hit by a car,motorcycle or bike while walking,according to a new report released by the Safe Kids Worldwide organization.

Safe Kids Delaware has released a list of safety tips children and teens should follow in order to remain safe while walking. The group said it is important to put down phones and remove headphones while crossing the street,make eye contact with drivers before crossing,and remain visible to drivers even in the dark.

"We all know about the dangers of distracted(思想不集中的)driving,but we need to talk to our children,especially teens,about the dangers of walking while they are distracted by using technology like listening to music with headphones on,and texting on cellphones,"said Kim O'Malley,the pedestrian(行人)safety conductor for Safe Kids Delaware.

Teens on the Moue is the name of the report,which explores the walking behavior of  1,040 teenagers between the ages of 13 to 19.Half of the surveyed teens admitted they were distracted by a mobile device while crossing the street. The study also found that more often than not,those who were hit or nearly hit had not been using a crosswalk(人行横道)or had been running across the street.

Safe Kids Worldwide reports that the death rate for teens aged 13 to 19 is nearly three times higher than that of 5-to 12-year-olds.In Delaware,seven teenagers aged 15 to 19 have been killed in pedestrian crashes in the last three years,and another 123 have been injured. By comparison,just two children aged 5 to 9 were killed at that time and another 79 were injured. The new report expands on findings from a similar one in 2015 that showed one in five high schoolers and one in eight middle schoolers crossed the street while distracted by using technology.

   Thousands of Burbank students biked to school on Wednesday morning and the children at Community Day School were not going to miss out on the event.

With the help from two local bicycle enthusiast groups,the campus' 25 middle and high school students were able to pedal(骑)down the bikeway for a 10-mile morning bike ride.

Krohn, headmaster of the school,considered having her students participate in Walk/Bike to School Day. But when she found most of her students had no bicycles, she connected the Bike Angels, who donate (捐赠)bicycles to children in Burbank during the holidays.

“The bikes that the Bike Angels get are donated, but so many of them are broken,” said Ernie, one of Krohn's teachers, an eager cyclist with some knowledge of bike repairs. “So we made judgements about what needed to be done. ”

As word spread about their efforts, a member from the WalkBike volunteered to help Ernie, and some students also stepped up to help repair the bikes in time for the event.

One of Ernie's students, 16-year-old Jacob, volunteered on Saturdays to help fix bicycles for his classmates. “I had a bike with a broken tire that I wanted to use to come to school. I asked my teacher if he could help me fix bikes, he taught me everything, and later I started volunteering there. I just started loving fixing bikes. ” He added that he planned to continue volunteering with the Bike Angels to repair bicycles for the community.

Ernie said that the biking event ended up with more students participating in a nationwide event in the US.

【小题1】Why did Krohn connect the Bike Angels?
A.She wanted to get bikes from them for her students.
B.She wanted her students to learn to repair bikes.
C.Her students had old bikes to donate to them.
D.Her students wanted to do voluntary work with them.
【小题2】What did Jacob do on Saturdays?
A.Learn to repair bikes from Ernie.
B.Help the WalkBike hand out bikes.
C.Practice bike-riding with his friends.
D.Repair bikes for his classmates.
【小题3】What can we know from the last paragraph?
A.More and more students in Burbank learned to ride bikes.
B.Students across the whole country began to ride bikes.
C.Experts began to research on the benefit of riding bikes.
D.Volunteers appeared to repair bikes in the whole country.

   Since the first Earth Day in 1970, Americans have gotten a lot “greener” toward the environment. “We didn’t know at that time there even was an environment, let alone that there was a problem with it,” says Bruce Anderson, president of Earth Day USA.
But what began as nothing important in public affairs has grown into a social movement .Business people, political leaders, university professors, and especially millions of grass-roots Americans are taking part in the movement. “The understanding has increased many, many times,” says Gaylord Nelson, the former governor from Wisconsin, who thought up the first. According to US government reports, emissions (排放)from cars and trucks have dropped from 10.3 million tons a year to 5.5 tons .The number of cities producing CO beyond the standard has been reduced from 40 to 9. Although serious problems still remain and need to be dealt with, the world is a safer and healthier place. A kind of “Green thinking” has become part of practices.
Great improvement has been achieved. In 1988 there were only 600 recycling programs; today in 1995 there are about 6,600. Advanced lights, motors, and building designs have helped save a lot of energy and therefore prevented pollution.
Twenty –five years ago, there were hardly any education programs for environment. Today, it’s hard to find a public school, university, or law school that does not have such a kind of program. “Until we do that, nothing else will change!” say Bruce Anderson.
【小题1】According to Anderson, before 1970, Americans had little idea about ___.
A.the social movementB.recycling techniques
C.environmental problemsD.the importance of Earth Day
【小题2】Where does the support for environmental protection mainly come from?
A.The grass –roots level.B.The business circle.

【小题3】What have Americans achieved in environmental protection?

B.They have settled their environmental problems.
C.They have lowered their CO levels in forty cities.
D.They have reduced pollution through effective measures.
