1. "Of the more than 1000 bicycling deaths each year, three-fourths are caused by head injuries. Half of
those killed are school-age children. One study concluded that wearing a bike helmet can reduce the risk
of head injury by 85 percent. In an accident, a bike helmet absorbs the shock and cushions the
head."From "Bike Helmets: Unused Lifesavers," Consumer Reports (May 1990, p. 348)

According to "Bike Helmets: Unused Lifesavers" on May 1990, there are more than 1000 bicycling
deaths that is happening each year. Three-fourths are caused by head injuries. This study seeks to find
out that half of the reported deaths are school-age children. Wearing a bike helmet can reduce the
risk of head injury by 85 percent this is because a bike helmet can absorbs shock and cushions the
head of the cyclist.

2. "The Antarctic is the vast source of cold on our planet, just as the sun is the source of our heat, and it
exerts tremendous control on our climate," [Jacques] Cousteau told the camera. "The cold ocean water
around Antarctica flows north to mix with warmer water from the tropics, and its upwelling help to cool
both the surface water and our atmosphere. Yet the fragility of this regulating system is now threatened
by human activity." From Jacques Cousteau (May 1990, p. 17) as cited in Anthony Sta. Maria (March
2016, p. 65)

As stated by Jacques Cousteau in the camera, the Antarctic is the vast source of cold on our planet,
just as the sun is the source of our heat and it shows a relevant study that these exerts tremendous
control on our climate. She then eloquently stated that the cold ocean water around Antarctica flows
north to mix with warmer water from the tropics, and its upwelling help to cool both the surface
water and our atmosphere. Cousteau (1990) indicated that the fragility of the regulating system is
threatened by human activities as cited by Sta. Maria (2016)
