Every day 25 million US children ride school buses. The safety record for these buses is much better than for passenger cars; but nevertheless, about 10 children are killed each year riding on large school buses, and nearly four times that number are killed outside buses in the loading zones. By and large, however, the nations school children are transported to and from school safely. Even though the number of school bus casualties(伤亡事故)is not large, the safety of children is always of intense public concern. While everyone wants to see children transported safely, people are divided about what needs to be done — particularly whether seat belts should be mandatory(强制性的). Proponents of seat belts on school buses — many of them are parents and medical organisations — argue that seat belts are necessary not only to reduce fatality and injury, but also to teach children lessons about the importance of using them routinely in any moving vehicle. A side benefit, proponents point out, is that seat belts help keep children in their seats, away from the bus driver. Opponents of seat belt installation suggest that children are already well protected by the school buses that adhere to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administrations(NHTSA)safety requirements set in 1977. They also believe that many children wont wear seat belts anyway, and that they may damage the belts or use them as weapons to hurt other children. A new Research Council report on school bus safety suggests that there are alternate safety devices and procedures that may be more effective and less expensive. For example, the study committee suggested that raising seat backs four inches may have the same safety effectiveness as seat belts. The report sponsored by the Department of Transportation at the request of Congress, reviews seat belts extensively while taking a broader look at safety in and around school buses.

听力原文：W: That comes to $160.

M: One hundred and sixty dollars! I just can't believe how expensive textbooks are. And that's just for required texts. Why, if I have to buy all the books on my suggested reading lists, I'd have to take out a bank loan!

W: You could save some money if you buy used texts, you know.

M: I suppose, but it's hard for me to study from a text that's been marked up. Tell me, if I don't need some of these books, can I get a full refund?

W: Sure, if the professor changes his mind about a book or if you drop a course, just return it and we'll give you your money back—but only for the first three weeks of class. So don't write your name in the text or mark it up until you're sure you're going to keep it all semester.

M: And what about at the end of the semester? What's your buy-back policy?

W: As long as the books are in reasonably good condition, and they're going to be used in class the next semester, we'll give you 50% of their original value—even if you don't buy them at this store. Of course, if a professor changes texts or if a new edition comes out, we won't buy them back at all.

M: Fifty percent—that's all?

W: Well, I suppose that doesn't sound like much, but that's the store policy.
