16、e their first appearance in cars some forty years ago. The following are three of the most common. Myth Number One: Safety belts “trap“ people in ears that are burning or sinking in water. Truth: Sorry, but studies show that people knocked unconscious due to not wearing safety belts have a greater c
17、hance of dying in these accidents.

23、 do well in science? Does it seem to you that girls have better vocabularies than boys? In your opinion, are boys better at building things?
