Pushbike Peril
Low speed bicycle crashes can badly injure—or even kill—children if they fall onto the ends of the handlebars (车把). So a team of engineers is redesigning the humble handlebar in a bid to make it safer.
Kristy Arbogast, a bioengineer at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia in Pennsylvania, began the project with her colleagues after a study of serious abdominal (腹部的) injuries in children in the past 30 years showed that more than a third were ca,used by bicycle accidents. "The task was to identify how the injuries occurred and come up with some countermeasures (对策)", she says.
By interviewing the Children and their parents, Arbogast and her team were able to reconstruct (重建;重构) many of the accidents and identified a common mechanism responsible for serious injures. They discovered that most occur when children hit an obstacle at a slow speed, causing them to topple over. To maintain their balance they turn the handlebars, through 90 degrees — but their momentum (冲力) forces them into the end of the handlebars. The bike then falls over and the other end of the handlebars hits the ground, ramming it into their abdomen.
The solution the group came up with is a handgrip(握柄) fitted with a spring and damping (制动的;减速的,缓冲的) system. The spring absorbs up to 50 percent of the forces transmitted through the handlebars in an impact. The group hopes to commercialize (使商品化) the device, which should add only a few dollars to the cost of a bike. "But our task has been one of education because up until now, bicycle manufacturer were unaware of the problem," says Arbogast.
The team has also approached the US Consumer Product Safety Commission to try to persuade man-ufacturers to adopt the new design. A decision is expected later this year.
According to the passage, some engineers are trying to improve the handlebars because
A.they are not noble enough.
B.they may kill children.
C.they are likely to crash.
D.they make the bike move at a low speed.

THE USE OF CARS CAPABLE OF CARRYING FIVE PEOPLE AT 80 MPH FOR SATISFYING THESE NEEDS IS WASTEFUL OF SPACE AND MOST PRODUCTIVE OF DISTURBANCE TO OTHER ROAD USERS.THE USE OF THE BICYCLE, OR SOME MORE MODERN DERIVATIVE OF IT, IS PROBABLY WORTH MORE CONSIDERATION THAN HAS RECENTLY BEEN GIVEN TO IT.THE BICYCLE ITSELF IS A REMARKABLY EFFICIENT AND SIMPLE DEVICE FOR USING HUMAN MUSCULAR ENERGY FOR TRANSPORTATIO

E.AS IN ROWING, WE MIGHT EMPLOY THE POWER OF THE ARMS OR THE GENERAL BODY MUSCULATURE, AS WELL AS THOSE OF THE LEGS; MORE MUSCULAR EXERCISE WOULD BE GOOD FOR THE HEALTH OF MANY PEOPLE IN CITIES, AND A WIDE USE OF BICYCLE LIKE MUSCLE-POWERED VEHICLES WOULD BE A USEFUL WAY TO ENSURE THIS.IT COULD ALSO PROVIDE AMPLE OPPORTUNITIES FOR SHOWING OFF BY THE YOUNG AND VIGOROUS.

It was clear that at this stage the success of the Benetton business lay in the strength of the family. In 1975 Luciano married the 20-year-old Marina Salomon who worked in one of his shops. After careful research, Benetton opened his first shop in the USA, in Manhattan, New York, where it attracted some very special customers including Princess Diana and Jackie Onassis. In 1982 Luciano was introduced to Oliviero Toscani, the photographer who was to change the image (形象) of Benetton forever.
Although Benetton was growing very quickly, they needed an international image and for this reason in the early 1980s they decided to provide money for Formula 1 motor racing. This was followed by the advertising campaigns (广告攻势) for which the company became famous.
Luciano Benetton succeeded in turning the company he started in the 1950s into one of the world's most successful businesses but he paid a high personal price. He spent so much of his life working and traveling that he lost touch with his family and friends.
What did Luciano Benetton's father hope he would do?
A.Sell clothes.
B.Build a factory.
C.Learn medicine.
D.Run a bicycle business.
