They are more likely to get into an accident or be injured. “While we encourage children to be active and spend more time outdoors, they need to understand the importance of safety,” said Everett Koop, an expert of the NSKC.To help children say safe, the NSKC started a “Make it a Safe Kids Summer” campaign during National Safe Kids Week, from May 5 through May 12. Here are some important summer safety tips from the NSKC:Always wear your seat belt.Make sure there is an adult around when you decide to go swimming.Wear a life jacket when on a boat or doing water sports.Obey all traffic rules.（1）Why is summer the most dangerous season of the year in the US? （2）How long did the “Make it a Safe Kids Summer” Campaign last? （3）How many summer safety tips does the NSKC provide? （4）Must the children understand the importance of safety? （5）Whats the purpose in writing this passage？ 四、 词汇运用 (共2题；共6分)6. （1分）The singer is gaining in _ (popular). 7. （5分）根据句意和汉语提示写单词。What he said _me a lot.(使感兴趣)To be _, Im not sure what to do.(诚实)Ive _my new pen.
