A
Maybe ten-year-old Elizabeth put it best when she said to her father， ”But， Dad， you can‘t be healthy if you‘re dead.”
Dad， in a hurry to get home before dark so he could go for a run， had forgotten to wear his safety belt-- a mistake 75% of US population make every day. The big question is why.
There have been many myths about safety belt ever since their first appearance in cars some forty years ago. The following are three of the most common.
Myth the Number One: It‘s best to be ”thrown clear” of a serious accident.
Truth: Sorry， but any accident serious enough to ”throw you clear” is able going to be serious enough to give you a very bad landing. And chances are that you‘ll have traveled through a windshield (挡风玻璃)or door to do it. Studies show that chances of dying after a car accident are twenty-five times in cases where people are ”thrown clear”.
Myth Number Two: Safety-bets ”trap” people in cars that are burning or sinking in water.
Truth: Sorry again， but studies show that people knocked unconscious (昏迷) due to not wearing safety belts have a greater chance of dying in these accidents. People wearing safety belts are usually protected to the point of having in these accidents. People wearing safety belts are usually protected to the point of having a clear head to free themselves from such dangerous situation， not to be trapped in them.
Myth Number Three: Safety belts aren‘t needed at speeds of less than 30 miles per hour (mph).
Truth: When two cars traveling at 30 mph hit each other， an unbelted driver would meet the windshield with a force equal to diving headfirst into the ground from a height of 10 metres.

Death Valley is one of the most famous deserts in the United States， covering a wide area with its alkali sand. Almost 20 percent of this area is well below sea level， and Badwater， a salt water pool， is about 280 feet below sea level and the lowest point in the United States.
Long ago the Panamint Indians called this place “Tomesha”— the land of fire. Death Valley’s present name dates back to 1849， when a group of miners coming across from Nevada became lost in its unpleasantness and hugeness and their adventure turned out to be a sad story. Today Death Valley has been declared a National Monument(纪念碑) and is crossed by several well-marked roads where good services can be found easily. Luckily the change created by human settlement has hardly ruined the special beauty of this place.
Here nature created a lot of surprising， almost like the sights on the moon， ever-changing as the frequent wind moves the sand about， showing the most unusual colors. One of the most astonishing and variable parts of Death Valley is the Devil’ s Golf Course， where it seems hard for one to tell reality from terrible dreams. Sand sculptures(沙雕) stand on a frightening ground， as evening shadows move and lengthen.

Since we are social beings， the quality of our lives depends in large measure on our interpersonal relationships. One strength of the human conditions is our possibility to give and receive support from one another under stressful conditions. Social support makes up of the exchange of resources among people based on their interpersonal ties. Those of us with strong support systems appear better able to deal with major life changes and daily problems. People with strong social ties live longer and have better health than those without such ties. Studies over types of illnesses， from depression to heart disease， show that the presence of social support helps people defend themselves against illness， and the absence of such support makes poor health more likely.
Social support cushions stress in a number of ways. First， friends， relatives and co-workers may let us know that they value us. Our self-respect is strengthened when we feel accepted by others in spite of our faults and difficulties. Second， other people often provide us with informational support. They help us to define and understand our problems and find solutions to them. Third， we typically find social companionship supportive. Taking part in free-time activities with others helps us to meet our social needs while at the same time distracting(转移注意力) us from our worries and troubles. Finally， other people may give us instrumental support — money aid， material resources， and needed services — that reduces stress by helping us resolve and deal with our problems.
