Some villagers were going to celebrate an important wine festival(酒宴)in a few days´ time, so they borrowed a huge barrel from the nearest town, put it in the village square, and decided that each of them should empty a bottle of the best wine he had into it, so that there should be plenty at the feast (宴会).

One of the villagers thought he would be very clever. "If I pour a bottle of water in, instead of wine, no one will notice it," he said to himself, "because there will be so much excellent wine in the barrel that the water will be lost in it. "

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 the US population make every day. The big question is why.

There have been many myths about safety belts ever since their first appearance in cars some forty years ago. The following are three of the most common.

Myth 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 also going to be serious enough to give you a very bad landing. And chances are you´ll have travelled 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 greater in cases where people are "thrown clear. "

Myth Number Two:Safety belts "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 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 travelling 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 meters.
