Teacher:: Does everyone wear a seatbelt each time they drive or ride in a car?
Mike: No. Seatbelts are for wimps(古板的人,谨小慎微的人). Besides, I'm a great driver.
Teacher: The chances of being injured in a car accident this year are 1 in 75. I think that's worth talking about.
Lisa: Have you ever been involved in an auto accident?
Teacher: Only once. My car hydroplaned (在积水的路面上行驶)on a rainy night and went off the road. Fortunately I was wearing my seatbelt.
Lisa: Last December my brother died in an accident. He was in the back seat of his friends jeep when it rolled. he wasn't wearing a seatbelt.
Teacher: Fastening your seatbelt should be an automatic thing as soon as you get into your car. But too many people still refuse to wear a seatbelt.
Lisa: I wouldn't think of going anywhere without wearing a seatbelt.
Mike: It's just hard for me to get in the habit of wearing one.
Teacher: All it takes is one close-call (侥幸脱险,死里逃生)and you'll wear your seatbelt. You really ought to think twice about not wearing one the the next time your got in a car. It may save your life.
Lisa: The doctors said it would have saved my brother.
