“Go to get help, quick!”I ordered my six-year-old brother Nicholas. Nicholas ran away, when I slipped onto the ice.
I moved towards the hole where the three boys fell. I reached my hand in but felt nothing. I put my face in to see if I could see anything, but I saw nothing .So I decided to go in.”Ah!”I screamed as I fell in the cold water. I saw Conner face down in the water. I caught him by the arm and pushed him to the surface. He lost his consciousness. I went down again with two hockey sticks(曲棍球球棍)this time, I saw Wilson searching for something to hold. I quickly swam to him, and he caught hold of my hand. When we finally came to the surface, Wilson became unconscious too. Morgan was left. I didn’t see him. I was about to give up when I saw him about fifteen feet away. I caught him, but his foot was caught in some weed. I managed to pull his leg free. I grabbed the hockey stick, but I was out of breath. I hit the ice with the stick with all my strength. Finally, it broke. I never thought I’d see the sun again! I brought Morgan to the surface, where firefighters had already saved Wilson and Conner.
The next thing I knew was that I was in hospital.“Hi, my boy, you could have died,” cried my mom.“Hi, mom,” I said.“They were going to die if I didn’t help them, and the nearest help was about a mile away. How are the boys?” “Everyone is OK. You are our hero,” said my father.
I won the Hero prize from my town for saving the boys. Now we are all best friends.

Online clothes shoppers will be told exactly what size is best for them using new software which combines with their webcam(网络摄像头) or smart phone to form a 3D tape measure.
Scientists from Surrey University and design experts from the London College of Fashion are developing a program which can take precise waist, hip, chest and other measurements from camera images.
Using the person's height as a starting point, the software will be able to build up a 3D image and estimate their size at various different points on the body, based on their overall proportions. The result will be a more accurate sizing guide than previous systems based on waist size or a “small/medium/large” scale, which rely on limited measurements and the buyer's perception of their own body size.
Shoppers and retailers(零售商) who choose to sign up for the project could save millions of pounds a year in postage costs by removing the need to order multiple sizes of the same garment and send back illfitting clothes, researchers claimed. The project, sponsored by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council(EPSRC), is expected to be brought to market within two years.
After choosing an item, the shopper will activate the software, enter their height, stand in front of their webcam or smart phone in their underwear and take a photograph.
The software will not store or transmit the image to the Internet, but will use it to judge the person's dimensions at various points on their body.
Philip Delamore of the London College of Fashion said, “The potential benefits for the fashion industry and for shoppers are huge. Currently, it's common for online shoppers to order two or three different sizes of the same item of clothing at the same time, as they're unsure which one will fit best.”
1.What is the essential part of a 3D tape measure?
A. A webcam. B. A software.
C. A microphone. D. A smart phone.
2.What can we learn about the 3D tape measure?
A. It will store or transmit the image to the Internet.
B. It is based on the buyer's perception of their size.
C. It will be a co-working production.
D. It uses a person's weight as a starting point.
3.How can the 3D tape measure benefit online shoppers?
A. Online shoppers will get their ordered garment in time.
B. Online shoppers will get their ordered garment more quickly.
C. Online shoppers will get an ordered garment of high quality.
D. Online shoppers will get an ordered garment to their measure.
4.What is the right order for a shopper to form a 3D tape measure?
①to take a photo with a webcam
②to activate the software
③to enter his/her height
④to judge his/her size by analysing his/her image
A. ②③①④ B. ②①③④
C. ①②③④ D. ②③④①

I am honored to have the chance to write for you. I have noticed that our school has very limited resources in term of students’ opportunities to do sports.
It is known to all what sports are very important to young people. If they have an access to good sports facilities, young people can adopt a healthy lifestyle and become more confident.
I suggest build a new playground, where should be designed for students with different interests. They should have a different section for each activity and available to students all year round. I believe so a sports area will meet our sporting needs.
Thanks for your reading.
