They cause traffic accidents, injury and death.These dangerous walkers can be seen in any big city all over the world. About 69% of last years pedestrian deaths in the
29、US occurred in urban areas. They cross streets ignoring “DONT WALK” signals, suddenly appear without warning from behind parked vehicles, walk slowly at crossroads with cell phones attached to heads, blocking traffic.These pedestrians and drivers share a common disregard for the rules of the road, b
30、oth for selfish reasons. The drivers believe in the power of their machines. If their machines can go faster, they believe they have the right to go faster. If their machines are bigger, they believe they have the right to push smaller vehicles aside. Aggressive pedestrians, on the other hand, belie
31、ve in the primacy(首位) of the individual, the idea that they are first in any environment, under any circumstances, even when they are on foot in a roaring tide of steel and rubber.Last year, an estimated 5,220 pedestrians died in traffic accidents. Some 69,000 pedestrians were injured. On average, t
32、hat worked out to one pedestrian killed in a traffic crash every 101 minutes, and one injured every eight minutes. The good news is that the accident rate is dropping. For example, the number of pedestrians killed last year was 24 percent less than the number killed in traffic accidents a decade ear
33、lier. The bad news is that the basic causes of pedestrian deaths remain pretty much the same-disregard for traffic signals, inattention and crossing roads under the influence of alcohol and drugs. Alcohol, in fact, was involved in 46 percent of the traffic accidents that resulted in pedestrian death
34、s. Of those, 31 percent of the pedestrians were found to be drunk.The bottom line is that the pedestrians must do more to protect their lives as well as the lives of other road users. They can start by obeying traffic signals, using marked cross-walks and calling a cab when theyve had too much to dr

44、l all do the trick, but the biggest longevity (长寿) boost seems to come from marriage or an equivalent relationship. The effect was first noted in 1858 by William Farr，who wrote that widowers(鳏夫) were at a much higher risk of dying than their married peers. Studies since then suggest that marriage co
45、uld add as much as seven years to a mans life and two to a womans. The effect holds for all causes of death，whether illness, accident or selfharm.Even if the odds are stacked against you, marriage can more than compensate. Linda Waite of the University of Chicago has found that a married older man w
46、ith heart disease can expect to live nearly four years longer than an unmarried man with a healthy heart. Likewise, a married man who smokes more than a pack a day is likely to live as long as a divorced man who doesnt smoke. Theres a flip side，however，as partners are more likely to become ill or di
47、e in the couple of years following their spouses death，and caring for a spouse with mental disorder can leave you with some of the same severe problems. Even so, the odds favour marriage. In a 30year study of more than 10,000 people，Nicholas Christakis of Harvard Medical School describes how all kin
48、ds of social networks have similar effects.So how does it work? The effects are complex，affected by socioeconomic factors，healthservice provision，emotional support and other more physiological (生理的)mechanisms. For example，social contact can boost development of the brain and immune system，leading to
49、 better, health and less chance of depression later in life. People in supportive relationships may handle stress better. Then there are the psychological benefits of a supportive partner.A life partner，children and good friends are all recommended if you aim to live to 100. The ultimate social netw

Most immigrants are attracted to other countries by the promise of jobs, farmland, or business opportunities. Other people become immigrants in

Still others are uprooted by disasters, such as terrible flooding or drought. Some people have become i
69、mmigrants against their will. Captured in Africa, shipped to foreign lands and forced to work as slaves, many early African immigrants to North and South America came in chains. Except for Native Americans, all people came to the United States from someplace else. For nearly 500 years, immigrants ha
70、ve landed on Americas shores seeking a better life. Throughout American history, immigrants often worked low-paying, dangerous jobs that other people refused to do. Immigrants from around the world helped shape American life. Many immigrants absorbed the customs and language common to most Americans
71、. They also brought their own traditions, including music and foods. Over time, many of these traditions have become part of American life. The first European immigrants to America hoped to colonize(使成为殖民地)new lands. By the mid-1500s, Spaniards had ventured into Florida, California, and the American

They established 13 colonies along Americas Atlantic Coast. In the 1700s, England became the major power in colonial North America. But many European immigran
73、ts came to live in the English colonies. They included people from Sweden, Holland, Germany, Scotland, and Ireland. Immigrants still come to the United States seeking freedom and economic opportunities. Most new immigrants no longer come from Europe. They come mainly from Central and South America,

It tells us where we need improvements, where we should invest more time and energy, and what strategy to take.Failure is something unavoidable. Properly handled, though, it can teach us a lot.
