where they perform and their living conditions are
usually inappropriate. Tigers, for example which natu-
rally live in wilderness, must perform tricks on a nar-
row stage and spend their lifetime in a small cage.
Besides, the living conditions of the circus animals are
poor. They live in a cramped condition most of
theirtime. They actually need more space to roam. They

shows that most car accident will cause an injury to
the head. Frequently, drivers or the passengers driv-
ing without seat belts die because of this. By wearing
the seat belts, the injury will not happen since belts
restrain our body on the car seat when the accident
happens.

Unfortunately, many cars, especially the old ones, don’t

have the seat belts. This is because the traffic condi-
tions in the past were unlike the recent traffic condi-
tions. The designer of old cars did not consider seat
belts as an important part. Besides, the driver wearing
the seat belt will think that they are completely safe
so they may drive carelessly. They are safe, indeed, but
how about safety of other?

The seat belt is only one of the ways to reduce the risk
of car accidents. It doesn’t mean that we are com-
pletely safe. In short, our safety depends on ourselves.

16. What is the main idea of paragraph 3?

(A) old cars do not use seat belts
(B) the old cars have seat belts for their safety
(C) the drivers wear seat belts may drive carefully
(D) the traffic conditions in the past were similar
