Bicycle Safety
Operation Always ride your bike in a safe, controlled manner on campus(校园). Obey rules and regulations. Watch out for walkers and other bicyclists, and always use your lights in dark conditions.
Theft Prevention Always securely lock your bicycle to a bicycle rack---even if you are only away for a minute. Register your bike with the University Department of Public Safety. It’s fast, easy, and free. Registration permanently records your serial number, which is useful in the possible recovery of the bike stolen.
Equipment
Brakes Make sure that they are in good working order and adjusted properly.
Helmet A necessity, make sure your helmet meets current safety standards and fits properly.
Lights Always have a front headlight---visible at least 500 feet in front of the bike. A taillight is a good idea.

The simplest way to say it is this: I believe in my mother. My belief began when I was just a kid, who 36 becoming a doctor.
My mother was a domestic（佣人）. Through her work, she observed that 37 people spent a lot more time reading than they 38 watching television. She announces that my brother and I 39 watch two to three pre-selected programs during the week. With our 40 time, we had to read two books each from the Detroit Public Library and 41 written book reports to her. She would mark them up with check marks and highlights. Years later we realized her marks were a 42 . My mother was illiterate（文盲）.
When I entered high school, I was a 43 student, but not for long. I began to like fancy clothes. I wanted to 44 other guys. I went from an A-student to a B-student to a C-student. One night my mother came home from her various jobs and I 45 about not having enough Italian knit shirts. She said, “Okay, I’ll give you all the money I 46 this week scrubbing floors and cleaning bathrooms, and you can buy the family food and pay the bills. With the money 47 , you can have all the Italian knit shirts you want.” I was very 48 with that arrangement but once I got through allocating（分配）money, there was 49 left. I realized my mother was a financial genius（金融天才）to be able to keep the roof over our heads and any kind of food on the table, let alone buy 50 . I really realized my desire wasn’t going to get me 51 . Success requires intellectual preparation. I went back to my 52 and became an A-student again and eventually I 53 my dream and I became a doctor.
My story is really my mother’s story—a woman with 54 formal education who used her position as a parent to change the lives of her children. There is no job 55 than parenting. This I believe.
