So a team of engineers is redesigning it to make it safer.Kristy Arbogast, a bioengineer at the Children”s Hospital of Philadelphia in Pennsylvania, began the project wit h her colleagues. The cases they reviewed about serious abdominal （腹部的） injuries in children in the past 30 years showed that more than a third were caused by bicycle accidents. “The task was to identify how the injuries occurred and come up with some countermeasures,“ she says.By interviewing the children and their parents, Arbogast and her team were able to reconstruct many of the accidents and identified a common cause for serious injuries. They discovered that most cases occur when children hit an obstacle at slow speed, causing them to topple （摇摆） over. To maintain their balance the children turn the handlebars through 90 degrees but their momentum （冲力） forces them into the end of the handlebars. The bike then falls over and the other end of the handlebars hits the ground, pushing it into their abdomen （腹部）.The solution the group came up with is a handgrip （握柄） fitted with a spring and damping （减速） system. The spring absorbs up to 50 per cent of the forces transmitted （传递） through the handlebars in an impact. The group hopes to commercialize the device, which should add only a few dollars to the cost of a bike. “But our task has been one of education because up until now, bicycle manufacturers were unaware of the problem,“ says Arbogast.1 The engineers are trying to improve the handlebars becauseA they are not beautiful.B they may kill children.C they are likely to crash.D they affect the speed of the bike.2 How many abdominal injuries in children were caused by bicycle accidents?A Thirty.B Ninety.C 50 percent.D More than a third.3 The word “countermeasures“ in paragraph 2 meansA “problems“.B “approaches“.C “solutions“.D “actions“.4 Paragraph 3 mainly discussesA why the children and their parents were interviewed.B how serious abdominal injuries occur.C when the children turn the handlebars.D what stops bicycle accidents.5 The advantage of the new handgrip is thatA it can be made cheaply.B it reduces the impact in bicycle accidents.C it helps to slow down the speed of the bicycle.D it sells well at bicycle shops.其次篇Saving MoneyWhere you save your money often depends on what you are saving for. If you aresaving to buy a CD （光盘） or to go to a concert, then probably you would keep your money somewhere in your room.If you are saving for a big purchase like a mountain bike or a school trip, where would you save your money?One place to save money is the bank. Putting your money in a savings account will help your money earn more money. If you put your money in a piggy bank （猪形储蓄罐）, one year later you”ll still have the same amount of money you put in.

Interest is an amount of money a bank pays you to use your money.

A Dank statement tells you how much money you have in your account. It also tells you how much interest you have earned. If you leave your money in the bank, you can watch it grow!Another way you can save money is to buy a certificate of deposit or CD.
