The police stress that wearing a motorcycle helmet on a construction site is not only insufficient for resisting impacts, but can also be too oppressive, heavy, humid and electro-conductive, among other problems. On the other hand, wearing a hard hat while riding a motorcycle can be hazardous because hard hats are not sufficient for protecting the temples from impacts.（20 分）

Excessive application of fertilizers can, 11 ,further reduce natural soil fertility by introducing salts that kill microorganisms. Fertilizers can also provide an excessof nitrogen that stimulates populations of 12 bacteria to the point that too little organic matter is available to feedsoil bacteria, which then starve. Nitrogen leaching into lakes can lead to unnatural algal blooms that can consume all ofthe oxygen, 13 fish and plant life. When nitrogen contaminates domestic water wells, as has happened incommunities close to dairies and feedlots with inadequately controlled animal 14 , the “blue baby syndrome” canresult. Nitrates interfere with the oxygen-carrying ability of red blood cells and the effect can be especially serious forinfants.

At present time, the year of 2012, there are over 300 separatetitles in English and many thousands of websites on the subject. Yet 25 years ago the subject was virtually unheard ofin the United States and very difficult to discover amongst Western-educated Chinese. Before that there were onlybooks written by missionaries and colonial administrators living in the nineteenth century. Western interest wasprobably sparked by my first book, The Living Earth Manual of Feng Shui, which was written in 1976 when mostmaterial on feng shui was still available only in Chinese. Feng shui did not however become “dinner partyconversation” until the late 1980s, and Lillian Too did much to popularize it in the 1990s in the Western worlds.However, when interest in feng shui did finally gather speed, because of the lack of source material, manywell-meaning teachers and writers seemed to forget that it is a really precise and exacting subject, and extended it inways not originally part of its traditional Chinese roots. Now, although any science can be extended by new researchand testing, this has got to be done with a full knowledge of all that has gone before. It is sometimes forgotten that fengshui is not a branch of interior decorating, but a practical science in its own right. To put not too fine a point on it, a lotof later-day Western feng shui has been simplified beyond the point where it works, or has been invented or “intuited.”Often intuition has provided a key or a direction in which to look, but it is never sufficient in itself to declare “it mustbe so” because I feel it to be so. It therefore came as a delight and a breath of fresh air when I laid my hands on the newproject about feng shui.

The first English printing press, in the 15th century, was operated by Belgians who didn'tknow the language and made numerous spelling errors (such as "busy" in place of "bisy"). And because they were paid bythe line, they sometimes padded words with extra letters; "frend," for example, became "friend." In the next century, othernon-English speakers in continental Europe printed the first English Bibles, introducing yet more errors. Worse, thoseBibles were then copied, and the writing became increasingly corrupted with each subsequent rendition. English spellingbecame a chaotic mess, and successful attempts to simplify the spelling after that were offset by events that made thelanguage harder to learn, such as the inclusion of many alternate spellings in Samuel Johnson's influential Englishdictionary. Unlike many other languages, English spelling was never reformed to eliminate the incongruities. In a sense,English speakers now talk in one language but write a different one.

Short video lectures are viewed by students at home before the class session, while in-class time is 38 toexercises, projects, or discussions. The video lecture is often seen as the key ingredient in the flipped approach, suchlectures being either created by the instructor and 39 online or selected from an online repository.
