When we hear or read about a traffic (交通) accident, we want to know what caused it. Did the driver 【小题1】 (make) a mistake? Or was the accident someone else’s mistake? Did a person, 【小题2】 dog, or another animal suddenly cross the road? Was it the weather or something else? Often there’s more than one thing that causes a traffic accident.
In some traffic accidents, the driver 【小题3】 (talk) on the phone when he drove on the street. Maybe he was driving too fast or not following traffic 【小题4】 (rule), such as not stopping at a red light. In other accidents, maybe there 【小题5】 (be) something wrong with the car. Or the driver 【小题6】 (sudden) became sick.
In fact, it’s 【小题7】 (possible) to have no traffic accidents. So what can we do to have fewer accidents and keep 【小题8】 (our) out of danger? First, we should be careful when we drive or ride a bike. 【小题9】 (two), we should be sure to use safety equipment (安全设备), like child safety seats. In the event of an accident, safety equipment can 【小题10】 (save) lives. Finally, we should take good care of our cars and bikes to make sure they work well. It’s true that we can’t stop all accidents from 【小题11】 (happen). But being careful, following traffic rules, and using safety equipment are things that can help.
