Do you often ride a bike to school? Here’s some advice for you.

Try not to use busy roads. In some cities there are special pains for bikes only. Use them when you can, but watch out—people often walk along them. Check the road before starting and look all around. Also, when you’re with friends on bikes, it’s much safer to ride behind, not next to, each other. Where one road meets another, you should take even more care. Slow down and check both roads. Use your eyes and be careful.

Check your bike often. Do all the parts work properly? Is there enough air in your tyres(轮胎)?

If you have an accident or fall off your bike, a helmet will protect your head. It must be the right
Size, so ask for help when you buy it.

You must use lights at night, so keep them clean and check the batteries. Don’t wear dark colours; yellow and white are the easiest colours for drivers to see.

A bike isn’t a toy and there should be only one person on it. Many children have accidents when
they play still games on their bike.

Red traffic lights aren’t only for cars and buses.They’re for you too if you’re on a bike.You’re also breaking the law if you go the wrong way up a one-way street.

In the opinion of many people, the two­parent family is the correct way to raise children. Traditionally, this has been as the most natural way, but single­parent families have had to face prejudices(偏见) against their life­style. However, the single­parent family is the fastest growing type of family. In the United States, a national survey showed that at least 50% of children will be members of a single­parent family. So we think it is important to throw prejudices away and to see the advantages of single­parent families.
When compared to two­parent families, single­parent families are usually at a disadvantage in some ways. They are often in short of money, and children receive less attention. What’s more, single parents can find themselves under too much pressure(压力) of both work and home. Despite(尽管) these disadvantages, it is possible for single­parent families to look for support from friends, schools, communities or other organizations. They need to remember that nobody can do it alone.
Surprisingly, single­parent families also have some advantages over two­parent families. Single parents have greater flexibility(灵活性) in spending time with children, because they don’t have to consider the needs of a husband or wife. So they can develop closer relationships with their children. Another advantage comes from the fact that single parents often work together with their children to solve problems, which makes children feel more needed and valued.
It’s important to remember that single­parent families have, until now suffered prejudices from some people. They think that it’s easier for the children in single­parent families to drop out of school in teens, and to be jobless in their early twenties. But, with the support from friends, schools and communities, single­parent families become more accepted by society, and this situation is certain to improve. In the future we will probably see these prejudices disappear.
【小题1】What does the writer mainly tell us in Paragraph 1?

B. The single­parent family is not good for raising children.
C. The two­parent family is the correct way to raise children.
D. 50% of children will be members of a single­parent family in the USA.
【小题2】Which disadvantage of single­parent families is NOT mentioned in Paragraph 2?
