It's always a good idea to wear your seat belt(安全带) 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 will happen if you tie 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 car maker, made the seat belts widely used in the 1950s. 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. 1. The passage mainly tells us_.

B Today we learn about the Chinese flute (长笛)—a traditional musical instrument. Some scientists find it has a history of over 8,000 years. According to research, the first known Chinese flutes were made of the bones of cranes(鹤). In ancient times, people carved the bones with great effort and put five to seven holes in them. A player holds the flute up to his mouth and straight out to the right. The air moves through the flute, andthen it makes a musical sound. The player presses different keys on the flute to make different musical sounds. Later, most flutes are made of bamboo. They are generally dissevered into two types. In the north, the flute which is used to accompany the Bangzi Opera is called Bangdi. This flute is short. In the south, the flute which is used to accompany the Kunqu Opera is called Qudi. This flute is longer and thicker than the Bangdi and the music style is gentler. Now, some flutes are even made of plastic. Because it sounds great and is easy to learn, the Chinese flute is one of the most popular musical instruments in Asia now.
