It was about ten o’ clock on a Saturday morning and I took my baby daughter Holly,aged eight months to the shops. We lived in a small 1 at the time,and although it only took me ten minutes to 2 to the local shops,I had to go through several narrow lanes(乡间小路) .I had lived in the village all my life,so I knew the road 3 .
The lanes,in the village were never 4 for heavy goods vehicles,yet truck drivers still 5 using them as a short cut to get to the main road. Over the years,people had tried hard to stop 6 from using them,but I never played a(n) 7 role in it. I just signed many petitions (请愿书) that had been drawn up by other villagers,and the government still 8 trucks to use the narrow roads. So I was always 9 when driving along the lanes,in particular one very tight bend that was almost an shape and just a little 10 than one car. If another vehicle were coming the other way,one of them would have to drive 11 for a few yards to allow 12 to pass.
As we approached the S-bend,I put my 13 gently on the brake just in case a car was coming the other way. 14 I drove round the bend,heading straight toward us was a huge red truck. The driver drove so 15 that there was no way he would ever be able to hit his brakes in time to 16 .
I was so 17 that I yelled,and suddenly I woke up. It turned out to be a(n) 18,but it was so real that it seemed to 19 me that if I don't stop trucks from using the lanes,the dream may come true one day. I think it's time for me to stand up and fight for the 20 of my fellows.

Here's a good deed you can do without parting with a single thing.Synthetic(合成的) voices for people who have lost the ability to speak only come in generic( —般的) types — think of Stephen Hawking's voice — but one amazing project wants to build custom voices for each person. To do that they need your help: specifically,a recording of your voice.
VocallD is the brainchild of two speech scientists,who are turning their research into a much larger project. Voice is very personal and,like a prosthetic(假体） leg or arm,it makes sense it should be customized to each person.
Here's how it works — and don't worry,this does not mean someone will be walking around with the same voice as you out there:
After recording a couple of hours of audio in,say,a quiet room with an iPhone,you send it to Vocall D. where a program called ModelTalker cuts it up into the basic units of speech that can be recombined as new words and sentences. In that same step,characteristics of the patient's voice — based on what limited sounds they can make 一 are mixed with the donor's to create a whole new one.
VocallD is still in its beginning stages,and they're looking for help from everyone including voice donors,financial support,and programmers. A priority(优先的事物) is making voice donation even easier,cutting down recording time,especially for kids. But as it stands already,your voice is just about the easiest thing to donate.
6. Stephen Hawking's voice.
A. has no personal characteristics
B. was donated by a volunteer
C. was created by VocallD
D. sounded amazing
7. We can infer that VocallD aims to .
A. do research on voices
B. teach some people to speak
C. produce prosthetic legs or arms
D. help some people have their “own” voice
8. To create a new voice,which of the following is / are needed?
A. Sounds made by the patient.
B. A few days of audio recording.
C. The voice of at least two donors.
D. ModelTalker that can combine words.
9. What is the main purpose of the text?
A. To introduce some jobs in Vocall D.
B. To encourage readers to donate their voice.
C. To advertise a program called ModelTalker.
D. To collect money for people who cannot speak.

Reasons why people who learn music are more likely to be successful
I myself became a drummer at around the age of 11 ,and have played ever since. 1 Nowadays,there is a mountain of evidence suggesting that music education is not only good for you,but very important if you want to be successful in life. So why are people who learn music more likely to be successful? Read on.
They are more creative. Recent research has shown that many successful politicians,businessmen,and people in other fields were trained at a young age to be a musician of some kind. 2 What does matter is that these people credit their music education with making them more creative.
They connect with others better. 3 Even when you are unfamiliar with a location,you can always use your ability to play music to get to know those around you,and establish connections that may have been impossible to create otherwise.
They are better at math. I am not sure if this one applies to me,but it has long been known that there is some kind of connection between math and music. 4 If you can get a sense of music and musical language,mathematical concepts should begin to make more sense.
5 As a drummer,I know how to keep time in a song and play to the beat. In life,I use those same skills to maintain some order in my schedule. Thus,learning how to maintain a steady pace not only makes for a good musician,but a more productive and effective worker as well.
A. They have more self-control.
B. They have a better sense of rhythm.
C. Becoming successful requires that you be a good listener.
D. Whether they were trained to play the piano or the violin,it doesn't matter.
E. Music is often thought of as a useful way to connect different cultures and ideas.
F. Both deal with analyzing puzzles and finding patterns in order to work out solutions.
G. From my own experiences,I have believed learning how to play an instrument is beneficial.
