This is a chart of the car accidents in Ocean City in 1994. From the chart we can see that in January, the number of car accidents was 22. In March, the number was 32. After March the number dropped slowly and there was 26 in June. But then the number rose up again. In August, the number reached the peak and it was 39. Then in the following months, the number dropped rapidly. There was only 15 car accidents in December.

　　Why are there different numbers in different months What is the reason for the car accidents

　　Summer is a good season for traveling, so traffic becomes heavy from June to September. During that period of time, children like to play outdoors, so accidents happen often. On the other hand, there are often heavy rains in July, August, and September. Perhaps these are the reasons that accidents rise during summer months.

　　When the weather becomes colder and colder, more and more people would prefer to stay at home. Drivers usually drive slowly in winter. So during those months, the number of car accidents drops. From January every year, peoples outdoor activities increase, and the number rises. In March, there are many kinds of commercial exhibitions, so the number of car accidents is relatively high.

　　Although the number of car accidents varies a lot, I think it can be controlled. With the development of highways, cross-road bridges, and the quality of cars, traffic in city will improve greatly. Moreover, the government strengthens the traffic regulations and takes a firm control on car driving, so I predict the car accidents will decline in Ocean City next year.

　　Over the past 30 years, the average family has dramatically increased the number of meals that they eat at restaurants. The percentage of the familys food budget spent on restaurant meals steadily climbed. Just 10 percent of the food budget was spent on restaurant meals in 1970, and 15 percent in 1980. That percentage more than doubled in 1990, to 35 percent, and rose again in 2000 to 50 percent.

　　Where families eat their restaurant meals also changed during that 30-year

　　period. In 1970, families ate the same number of meals at fast food and sit-down restaurants. In 1980, families ate slightly more frequently at sit-down

　　restaurants. However, since 1990, fast food restaurants serve more meals to the families than do the sit-down restaurants. Most of the restaurant meals from 2000 were eaten at fast food restaurants. If this pattern continues, eventually the number of meals that families eat at fast food restaurants could double the number of meals they eat at sit-down restaurants.

　　The sales at this small restaurant during the week of October 7 to 13th followed a fairly set pattern from Monday to Friday, and then showed notable shift on the weekend. The lunch and dinner sales during the week peaked on Friday and then dipper down as the weekend set in.

　　During the week of October 7-14th, the lunch sales averaged at approximately $2,400. The highest lunch sales occurred on Friday, and the lowest occurred on Sunday. Sundays lunch sales were approximately $1,000 less than the average lunch sales during the rest of the week.

　　Dinner sales, which generated at least $1,000 to $1,500 more a day than lunch sales, also remained steady during the week. Just like the lunch sales, the dinner sales peak on Friday and dipped down for the weekend.

　　Excluding Wednesday and Thursday, the lunch and dinner sales from October 7-11 rose gradually until the end of the business week. Midweek, on Wednesday and Thursday, the sales were slightly lower than they were on Tuesday.

　　According to the sales report, this restaurant has a steady lunch and dinner crowd. The most profitable day during the second week of October was Friday. Sunday, was the least profitable day, with the full days sales totaling/totalling less than the Friday dinner sales. These numbers are reflective of a restaurant that is located in a business/financial district where business hours are Monday through Friday.
