Public transportation is a great method of decreasing(減少)pollution and traffic within an urban setting. However, as with any public setting, it is important to take safety measures to avoid any unpleasant situations.
Tips for staying safe on the bus, train or subway:
Report any unusual activities.
Report any broken or missing equipment.
Report any strange noises or smells.
If you see an unattended(無人看管的)package, do not touch it, and immediately report it to the nearest employee.
Avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth. This will decrease your chance of getting sick or spreading germs(細菌).
While on public transportation the most important safety measure to take is simply paying attention to your surroundings. By taking these steps you can have a better and more enjoyable experience while using the public bus, train or subway.
Safety measures and regulations(規(guī)章制度)
Sometimes stories of tragic public transportation are released(發(fā)布) through the media(媒體). When this happens it is natural to question the safety of using public transportation. When the driving itself is out of your control, it is important to know what measures and regulations are put into place to keep you safe.
One of the greatest concerns for public transportation safety is the lack of safety belts. While accidents involving buses or trains is not common, when they do occur they are highly dangerous due to the lack of safety belts. Passengers are likely to be injured simply from being hit by another passenger.
Good drivers make safe passengers
With hundreds of thousands of public bus passengers every day, it is important that the drivers of these vehicles(車輛)are trained and experienced enough to manage the dangerous situations that can happen on the road. Bus and train drivers must meet the standards set by their state.

閱讀理解

  Most American students go to traditional public schools.There are about 88,000 pub-lic schools all over the US.Some students attend about 3000 independent public schools called charter schools.

  Charter schools are self-governing.Private companies operate some charter schools.They are similar in some ways to traditional public schools.They receive tax money just as other public schools do.Charter schools must prove to local or state governments that their students are learning.These governments provide the schools with the agreement called a charter that permits them to operate.

  Charter schools are different because they do not have to obey most laws governing tra-ditional public schools.Local, state or federal governments cannot tell them what to teach.Each school can choose its own goals and decide the ways it wants to reach them.Class size is usually smaller than in traditional public schools.

  The Bush Administration strongly supports charter schools as a way to re-organize pub-lic schools that are failing to educate students.But some education agencies and unions op-pose charter schools.One teachers' union has just made public the results of the first nation-al study comparing the progress of students in traditional schools and charter schools.

  The American Federation of Teachers criticized the government's delay in releasing the results of the study, which is called the National Assessment of Educational Progress.U-math education experts say the study shows that charter school students performed worse on math and reading tests the students in regular public schools.

  Some experts say the students is not a fair look at charter schools.because students in those schools have more problems than students in teaditional schools.Other education experts say the study results should make charter school officials demand improved student progress.
