Before 1958, only two-point seat belts were invented, and only race car drivers wore them. This kind of seat belt couldn't protect people from internal injuries (内伤). In 1958, Nils Bohlin began to work as an engineer at the car company Volvo. He came up with the three-point seat belt to keep people from flying out of their cars during car accidents. People liked the new seat belt soon after they adopted it. "My greatest joy comes when I meet people who tell me that a seat belt saved their life or the life of a loved one," Bohlin said. "Many inventions make life better for people. I feel happy about my job. New inventions of a safety engineer don't just improve our lives. They can really save lives." Bohlin died on September 21, 2002, the very day that he became a member of the US National Inventors Hall of Fame(名人堂). ( ) 26. How does the write begin the passage? A.By telling jokes. B.
