Lesson 21: safety of transportation participle I

1. Read and translate the text:

SAFETY

Super-high speeds go in hand by hand with safety. Safety depends on many factors. First of all, it is determined by the condition of the track. Track- testing cars driving slowly along the lines show the engineers where the track must be repaired. Many track maintenance machines can keep the track well maintained.

Railway safety depends on braking system. The problem of stopping trains was always paid attention to. The early brakes were unsatisfactory. They were hand-operated and the braking process was very dangerous. Then they were replaced by automatic air brakes which stopped trains effectively and fast. Safety must be paid a great attention to, because our life essentially depends on this factor.
