In my professional life I am fortunate to have acquired some skills that I find I am able to use even though I’ve retired.
Last week while at church in the morning,I met a that had just moved to our state. Unfortunately they were robbed shortly after their .and had the valuable belongings with all their papers stolen.A very kind person in the neighborhood had them in,but the family had very little ,no transportation,and no to enroll(注册)their son in school without the paperwork.
Enrolling that little boy in school to be the highest priority for the family. But the school district was playing hardball with them with no for them.They had gone to the library to how to replace this paperwork,but they found they could not the fees to replace the items quickly.
Because of my background as a(n) administrator and my computer skills,I was able to research for them online how to .the needed documents at low cost with only a slight delay.I was able to speak with them and positively about the process and explain that waiting the few days would make very little in getting their little guy enrolled and attending school again.They told me they my taking the time to sit down with them and help them see the“forest for the trees”,for they had felt with what initially had seemed the impossibility of their situation.
Taking the time to my skills and “be present’’ with them had truly helped them regain some of the they had come to our city with when they moved— a better 1ife.

Dear Ms.Smith,
It is with great interest and enthusiasm that I am applying for the arts education internship (实习)advertised in Sunday’s New York Times.This position is exactly what I am looking for and an ideal opportunity for me to use my knowledge,educational background,and experience.
My arts education at Pratt Institute has helped me develop a firm foundation in the arts.The courses I have completed at Pratt,along with my study abroad in Paris,has prepared me well for a position in arts education.I have always enjoyed a passion for the arts but my undergraduate (本科)education has taken my interest to a whole new level.I not only enjoy doing art but I find myself even more enthusiastic when I have the opportunity to teach what I have learned.
For the past two summers I have worked directly with children at CityArts.These experiences were amazing since my responsibilities included planning and directing major projects that were planned for the summer program that goes on each year for local children interested in the arts.I was given a concept at the beginning of each summer and I had complete control of how the projects were to be completed.The children were the creative force and often were the inspiration for the artwork that was eventually presented to the public.
I am very excited about the summer opportunity with the Children’s Museum of the Arts since I know that I can definitely make a positive contribution while doing what I love,teaching art to children.I will contact you in one week to discuss my candidacy(候选资格)and see if you have any questions about my education or experience.Thank you for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
Samantha R.Gray

A team of scientists from University of Freiburg in Germany are developing a shoe with a sensor to automatically tie its laces(鞋带)that could be taken off when users click their heels together.
It’s been 26 years since we saw them magically tightening Marty McFly’s Nike boots in the film Back to The Future.
Now,self-tying shoelaces could actually become a reality this year,proving right one of the film’s fantastical predictions for what 2015 would be like.
Engineers have designed a shoe that can automatically lace up,adjusting itself to the shape of your foot.
Simply slip the controller on and pressure sensors will tell the ‘smart shoe’ when your foot is in position,triggering(触发)a tiny motor in the heel that pulls the laces tight.
When you want to take off the shoes,you click your heels together twice and the motor will release a spring(弹簧)in the shoe’s tongue,which loosens the laces enough for you to slip them off.
And the invention doesn’t even need to be plugged in to charge or have its battery replaced because it runs on power generated by the swing of your foot as you walk.
Engineer K1evis Ylli,of the Institute for Micromachining and Information Technology in southern Gemany,said the shoes could help a variety of different people.
“One focus is that it could be used in shoes for elderly people who have mobility problems,”he said.“But it could also work for children,or as a lifestyle product.”.
The design,which is still in a prototype(雏形)stage,cleverly gets the energy of the foot’s swing when opposing magnets in each shoe move past each other. It then uses that power to charge a battery.An hour of walking is enough to tighten the laces once,and it requires no energy to undo the shoes because that relies on the spring alone.
1.Which of the following can be the best title of the text?
A.A fantastical prediction
B.A great invention in Germany
C.A shoe with self-tying laces
D.A popular lifestyle product
2.What can we learn about the shoes?
A.They can automatically take off.
B.They can adjust themselves to your foot.
C.They need to be charged once.
D.They have been in design for 26 years.
3.From the last paragraph we can know ____________.
A.the shoes have been put into use
B.the shoes need power to take off
C.the shoes promise to be popular
D.how the shoes work to produce energy

There are 67 counties in the state of Alabama. Each county is rich with history and its own unique stories. Colbert County, located in the northwest corner of the state, has its share of exciting stories and claims to statewide fame. The county was created on February 6, 1867, and Tuscumbia became the county seat (the town in which the offices of the county government are located).
One of the most famous residents of Tuscumbia was Helen Keller. Helen Keller was born on June 27, 1880. Her home was a white frame cottage built by her grandparents. Since ivy (常春藤) grew everywhere, the house was called Ivy Green. It was here, at the water pump in the backyard, that Keller learned the word “w-a-t-e-r” with the help of her teacher, Anne Sullivan. Visitors to Ivy Green can walk under boxwood trees that are 150 years old. The home has furniture that the Keller family used. It also has Keller’s Braille (盲文) books and her original Braille typewriter.
Spring Park is Tuscumbia’s most popular park and favorite tourist attraction. This park has the world’s largest manufactured waterfall called Coldwater Falls. The Spring Park Light and Water Show is an amazing sight to see. It takes place every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday at sundown. The water appears to dance to music and colored lights. The music played during the show is recorded by singers and musicians from Alabama.
Fame Recording Studios is in the city of Muscle Shoals in Colbert County. The studio is the first successful recording studio in Alabama. It is best known for creating “Southern rock,” “Southern soul,” and “county soul.” Well-known performers like Aretha Franklin and musical groups such as Alabama and Lynyrd have made recordings at this studio.
Visitors can continue to explore music in Alabama by visiting the Alabama Music Hall of Fame in Tuscumbia. Built in 1990, this site recognizes the musical talents of more than 500 Alabama residents in a wide variety of musical styles, including country and rhythm and blues.
Truly, Colbert County has a lot of wonderful locations to visit. Guests will not be disappointed in a visit to this delightful place.
