Cars are lots of fun, but they could also be dangerous. We have to be careful when we drive them or ride in them.
It's always a good idea to put on your seat belt when you're in a car. Why? Think about this example: You put an egg on a skateboard and give it a push. If the skateboard hits a stone, it will stop, but the egg won't. It will fly through the air, hit the ground and break.
Now, think what would happen if you tied the egg to the skateboard. When the skateboard hits a stone, the egg won't go flying; it will stay safely on the skateboard.
Volvo, a famous Swedish carmaker, was the first to use seat belts in 1849.
Air bags are also very important for car safety, because sometimes a seat belt isn't enough. If the car is going really fast and runs into something, seat belts could even hurt the people who wear them. Most new cars have air bags in front of and next to the seats. When a car hits something, its air bags will come out quickly in less than one second to keep the people inside safe.
【小題1】The passage mainly tells us                  .
A．two important ways to keep safe in carsB．how air bags work to make cars safeC．how seat belts work to make cars safeD．why we must tie the egg to the skateboard

【小題3】Seat belts can make us safer because .

【小題4】Air bags are important for cars because _.
A．they are made of plastic
B．they can also help us to keep safe in a car

以下圖1—2是一個(gè)“魔術(shù)繩”的表演，另外五張圖是該魔術(shù)的解密步驟。請參照解密圖，將閱讀材料A—E正確排序

A.  Now pick up the scissors. Hold the paper carefully and cut through it. Keep the small piece of string between you and the scissors, so you do not cut the string.

B.  “Magic string” is a popular magic trick. You can do this trick for your friends or family. You just need a piece of paper, a piece of string and some scissors. That’s all.

C.  Pick up the paper and fold side A down. Now your friends can see side B, but they can’t see side A. Side A is shorter than B, so it does not cover the string. Push the middle of the string up, and fold C up over A. Now most of the string is inside the paper, but a small piece of the string is outside. You can see it but your friends can’t.

D.  Put one hand over the paper, and then pull the string out slowly with your other hand. The string is still in one long piece!

E.  First, fold the paper so that it is like the paper in the picture. Side A is shorter than side B, but not much shorter. Side C is much shorter than Side B. Show the long piece of string so that people can look at it. Put this piece of string on the paper.

1.___________ 2. __________  3.__________ 4. ______________ 5. ________
