potted plants there, he is heartbroken... but keeps looking for your cat. Maybe your plants could be put in another

potted plants and left a simple note of her own: “For Friendship!”

Two Swedish students have invented a new kind of bicycle helmet (头盔). It’s invisible (隐形的) because you
cannot see it on a rider’s head.
The helmet is really a kind of airbag. It is inside a large collar (衣领). People wear it around their neck like a
scarf. When the rider falls off his or her bike, the collar quickly fills with air and an airbag appears around the head.
The two students, Anna Haupt and Terese Alstinat, wanted to change the way people ride bikes. They said,
“Bicycle helmets have always been the same. They’re so bulky, like a hard mushroom (蘑菇) on the head.” They
called their new invention the H vding. The pair said it looked so cool that people would be happy to wear it.
The inventors started researching and developing the helmet a few years ago. They studied thousands of
accidents. They wanted to find out how to make the safest helmet. They worked with a Swedish airbag company
called Alva. And then the invisible helmet came out. Today, the two inventors have their own company that sells
第 6页/共 14页
the new helmets. There are 17 workers in their company. They hope their helmet will change how people all over
the world ride bikes.
In their video, Haupt and Alstinat said, “Cars are so yesterday. Bikes are the future.” People can not only take
exercise but also experience the beauty of nature when they ride bikes. Now people can only buy the helmet online
in Europe. It sells for around $530. The company did not say when people in the rest of the world could buy it.

How to Keep Safe When We Ride
Riding a bicycle safely is very important for middle school students. Here are some tips to follow.
First, always obey traffic rules. Stop at red lights and ride in bicycle lanes. Second, wear a helmet and make
sure your bicycle has lights. Helmets protect your head, and lights help others see you at night. Third, check your
bicycle regularly. For example, test the brakes and bell to ensure they work well.
In my opinion safety is not just for ourselves but also for others. If everyone follows these rules, the roads
will be safer. Let’s ride responsibly and set a good example!
