A recent study proves that of the 1.27 million people that die in road traffic crashes each year, about half are walkers, motorcyclists and cyclists. Now there may be a solution that could provide at least some help to protect this helpless group an airbag!If you are worried that this safety measure will involve you taking around a heavy package or worse still, wrapping yourself inside an ugly plastic bag, the bag is fitted not on the human, but on the outside of the vehicle. And, while there are several versions of the idea in the works, the one most recently unveiled (揭露) by Dutch car company TNO, seems to be the most advanced and ready to go into production.In the works since 2011, the airbag covers only the lower part of the windshield. This will provide the much needed buffer (缓冲) between the persons head and the pane of glass he/she would otherwise meet.The chain of events leading to an airbag cause are quite simple-A camera fitted beneath the rear-view mirror monitors the vehicles closeness to a walker or cyclist. Any contact with either one of them sets off the sensors in the cars bumper and quickly blows up the airbag. In addition to that the sensors also set off the cars automatic brake, reducing the chances if an even worse injury.In tests conducted using a model, the success of not getting injured after being hit by a car travelling at about 40km/h was about 50-50! While not perfect, it will still result in reducing the number of deaths by a huge amount.With TNO ready to license its technology to car makers and many more companies trying to develop similar concepts, we would not be surprised if outer airbags become a standard feature in every car pretty soon.1、（小题1）Why does the airbag cover the lower part of the windshield?ATo protect the windshield from being destroyed.BTo make the vehicle look beautiful.CTo reduce the weigh
