Until children car passengers are tall enough to (put, wear, get) a normal seat belt, they need to use a child seat. The importance of this has been highlighted recently by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration of the US. They found using these seats can reduce fatal injuries in car (hit, crash, strike) by up to 71 percent. Yet in China few parents use these potentially life-saving seats.,Here, its common to see children in the front seat of a car on an adults lap, or sitting freely in the back seat. If parents were (bit, aware, short) of the recently released statistics in the US, would they change their ways? We asked a number of Chinese parents their views on driving with children. “I put him in the front of the car. Its safer this way, because hes next to me.” “My child likes to wriggle (along, around, behind) so I think its safer to hold him on my lap.” “I tell my kid to sit in the back with the seatbelt fastened. This should be safe.” But experts warn of tragic results because of such habits. Sitting a child in the front of a car could be very dangerous. Children can be (hurt, injured, destroyed) by the airbags suddenly inflating during a crash. Holding the child is also a bad idea. The inertia generated in a crash can multiply a childs weight thirty times making it impossible for a parent to keep hold.,Part Two Conversations,1. Directions: Work in pairs.

BMW还有一些其他的含义。许多人说是“别摸我”或者是“做我妻子”。但是也有人认为含义是“事业、钱、女人”。对于男人，这三项是成功的必备。,车标含义B.M.W.是巴伐利亚汽车制造厂的意思，标志的色彩和组合来自宝马所在地巴伐利亚州的州徽（在前面宝马标志的旁边）。宝马汽车公司是以生产航空发动机开始创业的，因此很多人以为标志代表旋转的螺旋桨，但事实并非如此，其实蓝白标记对称图形的意义非常简单，蓝白相间的图案是公司所在地巴伐利亚州的州徽，用来提醒宝马来自巴伐利亚州的纯正血统。在中文结合汉语拼音的情况下，诞生了另一种说法BMW为“别摸我”的简写，象征此车尊贵无比，最好别摸,One of the reasons to BMWs success is the proper marketing strategy.
