阅读表达。阅读短文，根据要求完成下面各小题。      In the past twenty years, riding bicycles has become more and more popular among people of all ages.
(3) Bicycles have long played an important part in the liyes of American young people. But today an even
greater number of adults cycle along roadsides and bicycle paths. These new riders are often trying to
become fit or lose weight. They have found that bicycling is a pleasant way to stay healthy.
     This is certainly good for health. But it has also brought some problems. With all these added people on
the road, bicycle safety has become a matter of real importance.
     Bicycle safety is mostly a matter of common sense. People should ride only on bicycle paths where they
will not be badly hurt. There are also a number of rules that riders should follow, especially when riding on
streets or highways. Bicyclists should never ride against the traffic,nor should they carry other people on
their bicycles. They are also supposed to ride in single line on busy streets and to walk bicycles across the
busy intersections (交叉路口). (4) By following these rules, bicycle riders will not only stay healthy but also
be safe.
     In one recent year, the National Safety Council reported that 34 thousand bicycle riders were hurt in
highway accidents. In that same year, another six hundred riders were killed. Since the introduction of crash
helmets (头盔) in 1980, the number of injuries (伤者) and deaths from bicycling accidents had gone down.
