My car and my best friend

A week after I got my license（驾照），she was with me 25 I had my first accident. She was there and 26 me and we kept it a 27 , since I didn’t want people to 28 . From then on, through thick and thin (共患难), it was just me , my car and my best friend.

High school is a time of 29 , but I couldn’t 30 for a long time 31 we became so distant（疏远） after being so close. My friend waited three months after her birthday to get her dream car：a green 2004 Beetle. With its 32 , the passenger seat of my car became 33 . Our car trips became less frequent (频繁的) 34 I didn’t even drive down her street.

Cars are lots of fun, but they could also be dangerous. We have to be careful when we drive them or ride in them.

It's always a good idea to put on your seat belt when you're in a car. Why? Think about this example: You put an egg on a skateboard and give it a push. If the skateboard hits a stone, it will stop, but the egg won't. It will fly through the air, hit the ground and break.

Now, think what would happen if you tied the egg to the skateboard. When the skateboard hits a stone, the egg won't go flying; it will stay safely on the skateboard.

Volvo, a famous Swedish carmaker, was the first to use seat belts in 1849.

Air bags are also very important for car safety, because sometimes a seat belt isn't enough. If the car is going really fast and runs into something, seat belts could even hurt the people who wear
