After their 15-year-old dog Bailey died in 2007, Ron and his wife, Ann, looked for months to find the right new pet. ¡°I love dogs,¡± says Ron, a worker at a health club in Waukesha, Wisconsin. ¡°I can¡¯t imagine not having one.¡±
Finally, the couple spotted a young dog at the Humane Society in Milwaukee. His name was Oscar. ¡°He was very attractive,¡± says Ron, 65. Oscar quickly made himself at home, sleeping on his new owners¡¯ bed at night.
A diabetic(ÌÇÄò²¡ÈË) for 25 years, Ron faithfully took his medicine four times a day and generally had no problems. But on March 17, at about 3 a.m., he got out of bed to use the bathroom. Suddenly, he fell down to the floor. ¡°I must have taken the wrong amount of medicine before I went to sleep, because my blood sugar was dangerously low,¡± he says.
¡°Normally, Oscar is very quiet and well-behaved,¡± says Ron. ¡°But when I hit the floor, he let out sounds like a wild animal.¡±
¡°Honestly, it sounded like the dog from hell,¡± says Ann, who was awakened by the sound.¡± I didn¡¯t know what the sound was. Then I saw my husband lying on the bathroom floor. He was cold.¡± She ran for the phone and called an ambulance.
Ron spent several hours in the hospital. By 6:30a.m., he was well enough to go home. ¡°You would never suspect Oscar of any heroism.¡± says his grateful owner. ¡°He¡¯s a wonderful little guy. We are lucky enough to own him.¡±
Even before Oscar¡¯s heroic action, the couple had given their pet a new nickname(êdzÆ). ¡°We felt the name Oscar wasn¡¯t good enough,¡± says Ron, ¡°so sometimes we call him Eduardo¡±¡ªmore suitable, they think, for their dog.

What makes a gift special? Is it the price you see on the gift receipt? Or is it the look on the recipient's face when they receive it that determines the true value? What gift is worth the most?
This Christmas I was debating what to give my father. My dad is a hard person to buy for because he never wants anything. I pulled out my phone to read a text message from my mom saying that we were leaving for Christmas shopping for him when I came across a message on my phone that I had locked. The message was from my father. My eyes fell on a photo of a flower taken in Wyoming. and underneath a poem by William Blake. The flower, a lone dandelion standing against the bright blue sky, inspired me. My dad had been reciting those words to me since I was a kid. That may even be the reason why I love writing. I decided that those words would be my gift to my father.
I called back. I told my mom to go without me and that I already created my gift. I sent the photo of the cream-colored flower to my computer and typed the poem on top of it. As I was arranging the details another poem came to mind. The poem was written by Edgar Allan Poe; my dad recited it as much as he did the other. I typed that out as well and searched online for a background to the words of it. The poem was focused around dreaming, and after searching I found the perfect picture. The image was painted with blues and greens and purples, twisting together to create the theme and wonder of a dream. As I watched both poems passing through the printer, the white paper coloring with words that shaped my childhood. I felt that this was a gift that my father would truly appreciate.
Christmas soon arrived. The minute I saw the look on my dad's face as he unwrapped those swirling black letters carefully placed in a cheap frame, I knew I had given the perfect gift.

One evening in February 2007, a student named Paula Ceely brought her car to a stop on a remote road in Wales. She got out to open a metal gate that blocked her path. That's when she heard the whistle sounded by the driver of a train. Her Renault Clio was parked across a railway line. Seconds later, she watched the train drag her car almost a kilometre down the railway tracks.
Ceely's near miss made the news because she blamed it on her GPS (µ¼º½ÒÇ). She had never driven the route before. It was dark and raining heavily. Ceely was relying on her GPS, but it made no mention of the crossing. "I put my complete trust in the device and it led me right into the path of a speeding train." she told the BBC.
Who is to blame here? Rick Stevenson, who tells Ceely's story in his book When Machines Fail Us, points the finger at the limitations of technology. We put our faith in digital devices, he says, but our digital helpers are too often not up to the job. They are filled with small problems. And it's not just GPS devices: Stevenson takes us on a tour of digital disasters involving everything from mobile phones to wireless keyboards.
The problem with his argument in the book is that it's not clear why he only focuses on digital technology, while there may be a number of other possible causes. A map-maker might have left the crossing off a paper map. Maybe we should blame Ceely for not paying attention. Perhaps the railway authorities are at fault for poor signalling system. Or maybe someone has studied the relative dangers and worked out that there really is something specific wrong with the GPS equipment. But Stevenson doesn't say.
It's a problem that runs through the book. In a section on cars, Stevenson gives an account of the advanced techniques that criminals use to defeat computer-based locking systems for cars. He offers two independent sets of figures on car theft; both show a small rise in some parts of the country. He says that once again not all new locks have proved reliable. Perhaps, but maybe it's also due to the shortage of policemen on the streets. Or changing social circumstances. Or some combination of these factors.
The game between humans and their smart devices is amusing and complex. It is shaped by economics and psychology and the cultures we live in. Somewhere in the mix of those forces there may be a way for a wiser use of technology.
If there is such a way, it should involve more than just an awareness of the shortcomings of our machines. After all, we have lived with them for thousands of years. They have probably been fooling us for just as long.
СÌâ1:What did Paula Ceely think was the cause of her accident?
A£®She was not familiar with the road.
B£®It was dark and raining heavily then.
C£®The railway workers failed to give the signal.
D£®Her GPS device didn't tell her about the crossing.
СÌâ2: The phrase "near miss" (Paragraph 2) can best be replaced by ________.
A£®close hitB£®heavy loss
C£®narrow escapeD£®big mistake
СÌâ3:Which of the following would Rick Stevenson most probably agree with?
A£®Modern technology is what we can't live without.
B£®Digital technology often falls short of our expectation.
C£®Digital devices are more reliable than they used to be.
D£®GPS error is not the only cause for Ceely's accident.
СÌâ4:In the writer's opinion, Stevenson's argument is ________.
A£®one-sidedB£®reasonableC£®puzzlingD£®well-based
СÌâ5:What is the real concern of the writer of this article?
A£®The major causes of traffic accidents and car thefts.
B£®The relationship between human and technology.
C£®The shortcomings of digital devices we use.
D£®The human unawareness of technical problems.

He was a hero that saved two children from the jaws of a cougar(ÃÀÖÞʨ). Standing barely 1.7 meters, the 22-year-old with black-frame glasses might pass more for a Chinese Harry Potter. Yet Shen Huigang is now getting recognition for his bravery in fighting off a cougar on Vancouver Island, Canada, during a family outing. Shen, also known as Ian, was then an exchange student. With him was a friend, Myles Hagar, and Hagar¡¯s two grandchildren. Silently and suddenly a cougar appeared out of nowhere. By the time they spotted the cat, it already had the head of 18-month-old Julien in its mouth.
¡°At first, my brain was nothing but blank,¡± Shen recalled. ¡°But I believed I could get the child back.¡± He gestured as if he were ready for a fight, and tried to scare the beast off with his bag. Hearing the noise Shen made, the animal dropped the baby and Hagar rushed to grab his grandson. But the animal didn¡¯t run, instead turned toward 3-year-old Iris standing beside Shen. ¡°Had Ian not been there, shouting at the cougar, remaining calm and standing firm, it would certainly have attacked Iris.¡± Hagar recalled.
They chased the animal back into the woods. ¡°We moved slowly to our vehicle as we waved our fists and bags, pretending to wrestle it,¡± Shen said. ¡°The vehicle wasn¡¯t far away but it felt like it took us a century to travel the short journey.¡± As Hagar drove for help, Shen held the heavily-bleeding boy in the passenger seat and calmly kept him awake by hugging and kissing him in case he would go into a coma(»èÃÔ). The boy was flown to a hospital nearby. Doctors later said his little skull had been punctured(´Ì´©) through to his brain in two places. Luckily, Julien made a full recovery.
¡°Any hesitation, even a second delay, would have resulted in certain death for Julien, but Ian was there¡­¡± Hagar said. Following the incident, the story appeared on Canadian TV networks in every city, and in many small town newspapers---plus many US Internet news sites. The Royal Canadian Humane Association planned to give Shen a Canada Bravery Award, but it couldn¡¯t reach him because he had returned to China.
СÌâ1:Why did the cougar drop the baby?
A£®Because it was scared by the noise made by Ian¡¯s shouting.
B£®Because Hagar rushed to grab the baby from its jaws.
C£®Because it wanted to attack Iris and took her away.
D£®Because Hagar and Ian were chasing it back into the woods.
СÌâ2:Which of the following statements about Shen Huigang is TRUE?
A£®He was called Chinese Harry Potter because he was very brave.
B£®His deed was spread both in Canada and the US.
C£®He was better at fighting and wrestling compared with Hagar.
D£®He was too shocked to move to the vehicle in the incident.
СÌâ3:What did Ian do in the car to keep the baby awake?
A£®He held, hugged and kissed the baby in the passenger seat.
B£®He drove the car as quickly as possible to find a hospital.
C£®He encouraged the baby telling him to be awake.
D£®He held the heavily- bleeding wound of the baby.
СÌâ4:Which of the following can be the best title for this passage?
A£®Saving Lives From the Jaws of Death
B£®Experiencing a Family Outing
C£®Taking Care of Two Children
D£®Interviewing a Clever Young Student

I sat at my seat waiting for the school paper to be passed around. I waited anxiously, knowing that once I received it I would know how good a writer I really am.
When the paper arrived at my classroom, I nearly knocked down five of my classmates to get to the first paper. With a school paper in my hands, I returned to my seat. About a month earlier, I had handed in one of, what I believed to be, my best stories. I named it Symbol of Success. The head of the English Department at my school, Professor Cullen had said that she would include some reviews of students¡¯ stories in the latest school paper. Professor Cullen was known for her rough criticism. Impressing her was very hard but I wanted to be the first to do so.
I sat at the edge of my seat as I read through the other story reviews. There wasn¡¯t one story that got more than three stars .I became calm and wasn¡¯t anxious to know my review. It was long after that I heard someone shout out ¡°Five stars?! Seriously !¡± from behind me. I turned around and saw the shocked expression of Gene¡¯s face, ¡°Peter, your story got five stars!¡± I couldn¡¯t believe what I was hearing. I turned my attention back to my story and saw the five stars at the end of the review that I had not read yet. I looked through the review written by Professor Cullen. She wrote that I had a gift for story writing.
I was proud that I achieved what I thought was impossible .For so long I believed I wasn¡¯t as good as I thought I was and that my talent was not enough to cover up my lack of wring skills .But this review proved that I was truly a good writer and that there was a future ahead of me in the field of fiction writing. The review and the five stars meant the world of me. Those five stars became the symbol of my success.

In 1933 an unknown American called Clarence Nash went to see the filmmaker Walt Disney. He had an unusual voice and he wanted to work in Disney¡¯s cartoon film for children. When Walt Disney heard Nash¡¯s voice, he said ¡°Stop! That¡¯s our duck!¡±
The duck was the now-famous Donald Duck, who first appeared in 1934 in the film The Wise Little Hen. Donald lived in an old houseboat(Ë®ÉÏס¼Ò) and wore his sailor jacket and hat. Later that year he became a star after an eight-minute Mickey Mouse film. The cinema audience liked him because he was lazy and greedy, and because he lost his temper very quickly. And they loved his voice when he became angry with Mickey¡¯s eight nephews. Soon Donald was more popular than Mickey Mouse himself, probably because he wasn¡¯t a goody-goody like Mickey.
In the 1930s, 40s and 50s Donald and his friends Mickey, Goofy and Pluto made hundreds of Disney cartoons. He also made educational films about the place of the USA in the world, and safety in the home. Then in 1966 Donald Duck and his voice disappeared---there were no more new cartoons.
Clarence Nash died in February, 1985. But today¡¯s children can still see the old cartoons on television and hear that famous voice.

In November, Isabel will travel from her home to Clearwater, Florida, to   9  Winter. Clearwater is the site of the aquarium£¨Ë®×å¹Ý£©where Winter has lived since she was   10  from that trap.
According to the Kitsap Sun, the meeting was set up by the man who designed Winter¡¯s artificial tail¡ªKevin Carroll. Carroll also   11  artificial limbs for people.
He and Isabel   12  met last month in Bremerton, Washington, at the  13  where she got her artificial leg, which freed her of the   14  that had troubled her for years.   15__  Carroll met Isabel and found out she wants to be a veterinarian £¨ÊÞÒ½£©, he decided to set up the meeting.

Now, she¡¯s about to meet a movie star who has one, too.
And she no longer feels so   19   . ¡°I think it¡¯s pretty cool,¡± Isabel told Kitsap Sun reporter Chris Henry. ¡°Winter has an artificial tail. That makes me think that I¡¯m not the only   20  one. There are thousands more.¡±

Steve Jobs-A surprising success.
Nothing in the early years of Steve Job¡¯s life suggested that he would be so successful. Born in San Francisco, the child of two students, he was adopted and grew up close to Silicon Valley. While at company-and he and his best friend Steve Wozniak got summer jobs there.
After finishing high school in 1972, Jobs studied at an expensive liberal arts college in Portland, Oregon but he dropped pout after one after one term. He grew his hair and a beard, slept on friends¡¯ floors, and sometimes went to a Hare Krishna temple for free meals. Like many drop-outs at that Beatles-inspired time, his ambition was to visit a guru£¨¹Å³[Ó¡¶È½ÌµÄ×Úʦ»òÁìÐä]£©in India, which he eventually did with a friend. When they got there, the guru had died.
At this point, Jobs has a limited education, and no obvious talents, apart from a notorious£¨³ôÃûÔ¶Ñability to talk. However, he did have a devoted friend who was an electronics genius. They were a great team. Without Jobs¡¯ s ambition, high design standards, the ability to make deals and  great maketing skills-Wozniak might well have spent a quiet life designing hardware at HP.
