By following these rules, bicycle riders will not only stay healthy but also be safe.In one recent year, the National Safely Council reported that 34 thousand bicycle riders were hurt in highway accident. In that same year, another six hundred riders were killed. Since the. introduction of crash helmets (头盔) in 1980, the number of injuries (伤者) and deaths from bicycling accidents had gone down.

Answer the questionsTodd was rather looking forward to his first journey by underground in London. He had heard a great deal about it from his friends who had already been to England. They all advised him not to travel alone the first time. But Todd is the kind of person who never listens to anyones advice.Todd entered the station shortly after five in the afternoon. This is a bad time to travel in London, by both bus and train, because crowds of people go home from work at this hour. He had to join a long queue (队伍) of people waiting for tickets. When at last his turn came, he had some difficulty making the man understand the name of the station he wanted to go to. The people behind him began to complain impatiently at the delay. However, he got the right ticket in the end and, by asking several people the way, he also found the right platform, which was already packed tight with people. He did not manage to get on the first train, but he was able to move nearer to .the edge of the platform so as to be in a better position to get on the next one.
