Normal bicycle safety guides usually tell you to wear you helmet(頭盔) and to obey the law in order to avoid being hit on a bike. Is this advice really helpful?

Consider this for a moment: Wearing a helmet will absolutely do nothing to prevent you from getting hit by a car. Surely, a helmet might help you if you get hit, but you No.1 goal should be to avoid getting hit. Plenty of cyclists were killed by cars__________. However, if they had ridden without helmets, yet followed the guidelines listed below, they might still be alive today. So they saying that wearing a helmet is the first and last word in bike safety is, to some degree(在一定程度上), wrong.

The most common bike safety advice is “follow the law”. Ridiculously, most people are already aware that it’s stupid to race through a red light at a crossroads. As a result, it’s clear that the “follow the law” advice isn’t that helpful, either. In addition, following the law is not enough to keep you safe. Here’s an example: The law tells you to ride on the right, but if you ride too far to the right, someone started a parked car could open their door right in front of you and motorists pulling out of driveways and parking lots will be less visible. In that case you were following the law, but could still have been hit.

Then what should we remember in order to keep safe when riding a bike? I will tell you about it in the following paragraph.

Businesses are structured in different ways to meet different needs.

The simplest form of business is called an individual proprietorship. The proprietor(經(jīng)營者) owns all of the property of the business and is responsible for everything. This means that the proprietor gets to keep all of the profits of the business, but also must pay any debts. The law recognizes no difference between the owner and the business

           . Two or more people go into business together. An agreement is usually needed to decide how much of the partnership each person controls.

There are limited liability partnerships. These have full partners and limited partners. Limited partners may not share as much in the profits, but they also do not have as many responsibilities. Partnerships can end at any time. But partnerships and individual proprietorships exist only as long as the owners are alive.

The most complex kind of business organization is the corporation. Corporations are designed to have an unlimited lifetime.

Corporations can sell stock as a way to raise money. Stock represents shares of ownership in a company. Investors who buy stock can trade their shares or keep them as long as the company is in business. A company might use some of its earnings to pay dividends(紅利) as a reward to shareholders. Or it might reinvest the money into the business.

If shares lose value, investors can lose all of the money they paid for their stock. But shareholders are not responsible for the debts of the corporation. A corporation is recognized as an entity(實(shí)體)——its own legal being, separate from its owners.

But not all corporations are traditional businesses that sell stock. There are nonprofit groups that are also organized as corporations.

Have you considered studying abroad, but are not sure whether it’s worth our time? Perhaps you’re not certain what benefits you can get from an extended stay in a foreign country. Here are some very excellent reasons why you should study in a foreign county?

　　 1. Studying abroad is the best way __________. There is no better and more effective way to learn a language than to study in a culture that speaks the language you’re learning. You’re surrounded by the language on a daily basis ，seeing and hearing it in the proper cultural context. Language learning happens most quickly under these circumstances.

　　 2. Studying abroad provides the opportunity to travel. Weekends and academic breaks allow you to venture out and explore your surroundings— both your immediate and more distant surroundings. Since studying abroad often puts you in a completely different country, you are much closer to places you might otherwise not have had the opportunity to visit.

　　 3. Studying abroad allows you to get to know another culture at first hand. Cultural differences are more than just habits. A person’s culture reflects very deep thoughts, beliefs, and values that influence his or her way of life and that he or she views the world. Students who experience cultural differences personally can truly understand where other cultures are coming from.

　　 4. Studying abroad affords you the opportunity to make friends around the world. While abroad, you will meet not only natives to the culture in which you are studying, but also other international students who are as far from home as you.

　　 5. Studying abroad raises employment opportunities. As the world continues to become more globalized, American countries are increasingly investing dollars abroad, and companies from countries around the world continue invest in the international market. Through an employer’s eyes, a student who has studied abroad is independent。 Your experience living and studying in a foreign country, knowing about other culture and another language will make you have many advantages over the other job applicants.（求職者）
