38、to practise in groups or pairs. BBelieve it or not, optical illusion(错觉) can cut highway crashes. Japan is a case in point. It has reduced automobile crashes on some roads by nearly 75 percent using a simple optical illusion. Bent stripes, called chevrons(人字形), painted on the roads make drivers thin

39、k that they are driving faster than they really are, and thus drivers slow down. Now the American Automobile Association Foundation for Traffic Safety in Washington D.C. is planning to repeat Japans success. Starting next year, the foundation will paint chevrons and other patterns of stripes on sele

40、cted roads around the country to test how well the patterns reduce highway crashes. Excessive speed plays a major role in as much as one fifth of all fatal traffic accidents, according to the foundation.To help reduce those accidents, the foundation will conduct its tests in areas where speed-relate

41、d hazards (danger) are the greatest - curves, exit slopes, traffic circles, and bridges. Some studies suggest that straight, horizontal bars painted across roads can initially cut the average speed of drivers in half. However, traffic often returns to full speed within months as drivers become used

42、to seeing the painted bars. Chevrons, scientists say, not only give drivers the impression that they are driving faster than they really are but also make a lane appear to be narrower.

47、, we should think about the fact that society itself has changed. People have started little by little to give up prejudices and have a modern way of seeing the reality around then. Therefore, children have begun to be more independent both in the middle of the family as well as when it comes to spe

48、ak about their group of friends. Then, lets consider the fact that children have started to speak more freely to their parents about their lives. If their parents give them advice, they prefer not to take it into consideration because they say they know what to do and what is best for them. They buy

49、 expensive clothes, have cool hairstyles, like to go downtown until late hours and are naughty in attitude no matter who they approach. On the other hand, parents give them money to buy whatever their children wish to buy, allow them to meet friends and go into discos or bars from an early age. That

50、s why they accept and contribute somehow to their childrens behaviour. When children make mistakes and their parents punish them for a week at the most, the latter are the ones who finally decide to “make peace”. And what is the most interesting of all is the fact that the offspring(子女) doesnt consi

51、der himself guilty of anything and blames his parents for not understanding his point of view. Children adopt these attitudes as a result of the environment they live in and in accordance with the education they have been given. Of parents who dont know how to manage in their education, they will ha
