Motorcycles are fuel eicient. However, motorcycles can be more dangerous than cars, as the recent Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS)’s report says motorcyclists are 30 times likely to die in an accident than people in a car.
Below are some tips, especially for new riders to stay safe on two wheels.
Buy motorcycle that its you.
When shopping for a motorcycle, start with one that its you. When seated, you should easily be able to rest both feet lat on the ground without having to be on tiptoes.
Invest in antilock brakes. Now available on a wide array a models, antilock brakes are a proven lifesaver.
IIHS data show that motorcycles equipped with ABS brakes were 37 percent less likely to involved in a fatal crash than motorcycles without it.
Use your helmet. Although, helmets are an
emotional topic for some riders, they give you optimal protection.
Wear the right gear. Jeans, a T-shirt, and sandals are recipes for a painful disaster on a motorcycle. Wear yourself jeans, helmet, jacket, gloves and boots for your life safety.
Avoid bad weather. Slippery conditions reduce
your margin for error. Rain not only cuts your visibility but also reduces your tires’ grip on the road. This can make cornering tricky.
Be ready to roll. Before riding, do a quick walk-
around to make sure your lights, horn, and directional signals are working properly.
1. The text is mostly concerned with ... A. The danger of riding motorcycles. B. The eiciency of motorcycles.

My Wonderful Experience at the 2006 Asian Games in Doha
In December 2006, I went to Doha to participate in the 2006 Asian Games, taking part in the Beach Volleyball Championship. We prepared for a long time, training hard and ighting for approval of our participation. Nothing was easy. My partner, Clara, my coach, King, and I were aiming to get into the top 8 at the Asian Games.
Unfortunately, I sprained my ankle one week before departure, which frustrated me beyond belief. I had physiotherapy every day following the injury, and tried to recover as quickly as possible. Of course, the ankle could not heal completely in a few days, so I had no choice but to just try my best and have my ankle taped when I played in matches.
We played against teams from Thailand, Mongolia, and Malaysia. The most diicult and important match was that against the Malaysian team. We planned well for the match and tried our very best. But inally we lost to them and ranked 9. It was so close: we nearly reached our goal to be among the irst 8 teams.

A farmer came across a bird with a broken wing. He picked it up, took it home and looked after it lovingly, even though his wife complained bitterly about his wasting too much time on the creature.
After some time, the wing mended and, because the bird did not want the farmer to have kept on arguing with his wife all the time, it decided to go back to its nest.
When the farmer discovered that the bird was gone, he was so upset that he went out to look for it. Eventually, he found it again, and was greeted hap- pily by the whole family of the bird. As a sign of their thanks for his care and attention, the birds gave him a little box, and told him not to open it until he got home.
To his surprise, the farmer found the box full of precious stones. When his wife saw them, she de- cided that she too deserved a reward, and she went to see the birds. The birds give her a little casket, but this one was full of devils. The devils jumped on her as soon as she opened the casket and chased her away.
Left alone, the farmer went to live near his friend, the bird. There he built a hut of perfumed wood, and the birds decorated it with lowers of every kind.
