They did not need to worry a lot about the safety of the new products that they developed. They did not have to pay much attention to the health and safety of the people who worked for them. Often new products were dangerous for the people who used them; often conditions in the work place had very bad effects on the health of the workers.Of course sometimes there were real disasters which attracted the attention of governments and which showed the need for changes. Also scientists who were doing research into the health of workers sometimes produced information which governments could not ignore. At such times, there inquiries（调查）into the causes of the disasters or the problems. New safety rules were often introduced as a result of these inequities; however, the new rules came too late to protect the people who died or who became seriously ill.Today many governments have special departments which protect customers and workers. In the U.S., for example, there is a department which tests new airplanes and gives warnings about possible problems. It also makes the rules that aircraft producers must follow. Another department controls the foods and drugs that companies sell. A third department looks at the places where people work, and then reports any companies that are breaking the laws which protect the health and safety of workers. Of course, new government departments and new laws cannot prevent every accident or illness, but they are having some good results. Our work places are safer and cleaner than before. The planes and cars which we use for travel are better. Producers are thinking more about the safety and health of the people who buy and use their products.1.

However, this common saying undermines (削弱) the very real danger of lightning Last Friday, at least five people were killed by lightning in Nepal.Lightning strikes are the second most common cause of deaths among natural disasters in the US The first is floods. Around 400 people nationwide are struck by lightning each year, and of those, about 73 people die. More people are killed by lightning than by tornados and hurricanes.Because lightning kills only one or two people at a time, its danger does not receive as much attention as other disasters.To raise awareness (意识)of the damage of lightning the US has made June 22—28 National Lightning Safety Week. It aims to warn the public of the dangers of lighting and provide safety tips about what to do during thunderstorms“If you can hear thunder (雷), you are in danger of being struck by lightning,” said Rocky Lopes，a disaster educator at the American Red Cross.“Thunder means that lighting is close enough to hit you at any minute, so you should move indoors immediately and stay there until the storm has ended. The single most important thing to remember is to find a hiding place,” Lopes saidSummer is the time for most lighting storms, so when lightning strikes across the sky, remember these safety tips: Stop working, fishing, swimming or playing in an open area.If you count less than ten seconds between the thunder and the lighting flash, take cover inside the nearest building. If that is not possible, follow these instruments.Do not stand under a tree.Do not use a mobile phone.Get off bicycles or motorcycles.Crouch (蹲下) down if there is no hiding place.6 The popular opinion about being struck by lightning is that ____.A. there is a great chance of being killed by lightning than by any other natural disasterB. it is the most dangerous among all the natural disastersC. the chance that a person to be struck by lightning is very smallD. it is impossible for people to be killed by lighting7.On average，about ____ of people struck by lighting die as a result.A.18.5%B.50%C.30%D.73%8.Among all the safety tips，the most important one is that when you ate outside and hear thunder you should ____.A. stand beside your bicycle or motorcycleB. quickly find a place to hideC. count ten seconds between the thunder and the lightningD. don’t use a hair drier9.During thunderstorms, you should not ____.A. enter a place to hideB. turn off the TVC. close your windowD. use your mobile phone10.According to the article，what does June 22-28 National Lighting Safety Week refer to?A.
