While driving, I sensed something wrong with my car. Pulling into the first parking lot I found, I stopped it and climbed out to assess the situation. My heart sank as I discovered that one of my rear(后面的)tires was flat.

I’d bought the secondhand car several months before, but it didn’t include a spare tire. Although I knew I needed to purchase one, my schedule was so tight that I hadn’t done it yet. Because I was working full-time in the emergency room at a local hospital and taking evening classes at a university fifty miles away.

Now here I was, alone forty miles from home. In those days, cell phones were a luxury. I had no way to call for assistance.

My spirits grew darker the minute I checked the place where I had pulled over. No one was around, except a rusty, red truck. It was getting dark. I had two optionsstay in my car until morning or start walking in hopes of finding a convenience store with a pay phone. Neither option appealed to me.

I was about to grab my purse and set off on foot when a man came out from what seemed to be a law office. Pulling a set of keys from his pockethe locked the office doorand then turned and saw me standing next to my car. I must have looked scared and confused as he headed straight toward me.

“Can 1 help you with anything?” he asked.

Judging from his appearance, I decided I could trust him.

“I have a flat tire but don’t have a spare,” I said, relieved to see him.

“I can help you remove the flat and then drive you to a tire shop to get it fixed,” he said.

I remembered the cautionary(告诫的)words my parents had drilled into my headNever get in a car with a stranger.

“That’s okay,” I said. “Thanks anyway.”

How to Live Well

At a certain point in life, thoughts may come up. How well have you lived?1.How well have you treated those you love and care about? Most of all, however, time seems to slip on without too much self-reflection. Maybe it’s time to slow down and think about what it means to live well.

To live means acting.2.You start action, come up with goals, make plans to help work on the desired outcome, and dive in. Not every action will immediately bring about a successful finish of the project, task or undertaking, but you learn from everything you do.

3.Being busy is an effective cure to loneliness, helps avoid depression and self-pity, and keeps us in a constant state of movement. Again, doing things often puts us in contact with others and that’s also a good thing for humans to make interaction with other humans.

But what happens when you don’t give a project or task your full effort? Are you still living well? Or are you shortchanging yourself, trying to cheat and still get the reward?4.Not only learn to face these, but also try to overcome them.

The truth is that everyone cuts corners now and then. Maybe it is because we lack time, energy, financial or other resources. Sometimes we have to make ends meet by shaving off an item or a step. That doesn’t mean we make a habit of it.5.

A.To live means you participate in life.

B.To have a good life doesn’t mean living well.

C.Keeping busy sometimes is important in life.

D.Sometimes you have to face these in your life.

E.How much have you achieved relative to your goals?

F.What can you do if you suffer from an illness?

G.That really means we should stop and think, in order to live better.

 

    Health officials in the United States reported last week on what they believe could be a medical first. Officials said doctors performed what could be the first double lung transplant(移植)on a person whose lungs were severely damaged from vaping(吸电子烟).The operation reportedly saved the life of the teenager.

The young man was admitted in early September to a Detroit-area hospital with what appeared to be a common lung infection, but was later sent to Children’s Hospital of Michigan in Detroit. On October 3, he was transported to Henry Ford Hospital, where the transplant was performed 12 days later.

Hassan Nemeh is a surgical director of thoracic(胸腔的)organ transplant at Henry Ford Hospital. He told The Associated PressThe APthat the damage done to the teenager’s lungs from vaping was so bad that there was no possibility to totally recover. He warned parents to think about that and to tell their children as well.

More than 2000 Americans who vape have gotten sick since March. Many of them are teenagers and young adults. At least 40 people have died.

Recently, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported a discovery into what might be causing people who vape to become sick. They identified the chemical compound vitamin E acetate(醋酸盐)as a “very strong criminal”.

Researchers found the chemical compound in fluid taken from the lungs of 29 patients. In other studies, Vitamin E acetate was found in liquid from electronic cigarettes and other vaping devices, Many who got sick said they had vaped liquids that contain THC, the part of marijuana that creates what is known as a “high”.

Dr. Lisa Allenspach is a lung specialist and medical director of Henry Ford’s Lung Transplant Program. She told The AP, “Vaping-related injuries are all too common these days. Our adolescents are faced with a crisis,” She added that vaping products should not be used in any way.

Dr. Nemeh said the 17-year-old patient’s case didn’t open any new moral considerations about transplants for people who severely damaged their own lungs by vaping. He added, “We hope sharing this patient’s story prevents anyone else from experiencing a vaping injury that would require a transplant.”

1.What can be learned about the young man in the text?

A.He got caught in a moral dilemma. B.He was the first to get sick by vaping.

C.He received the operation immediately. D.He had a good chance to survive the lung damage

2.How many hospitals are mentioned in the text?

A.1. B.2. C.3. D.4.

3.What is Dr. Lisa Allenspach’s attitude towards vaping products?

A.Skeptical. B.Approving. C.Opposing. D.Objective.

4.What can we learn from what Dr. Nemeh said

A.He hoped to arouse people’s attention to staying away from vaping.

B.He wanted to raise money for the young man.

C.He wanted to open moral considerations about lung transplant.

D.He hoped to keep people from tobacco.

 

    Japanese scientists and technology companies are coming up with new ways to deal with employee shortages in delivery service. How exactly? By introducing a robot that can deliver food to your home. A Japanese company ZMP has launched robot tests recently.

The ZMP's delivery robot in the process of testing is a red box that measures 109 cm and 133 cm in heights and lengths respectively. It is designed to carry up to 100 kilograms of anything with a approximate speed of 4 miles an hour. It has its own navigating system and a map, sensors(传感器)and cameras that allow it to self-drive. These, for now, are its main technical abilities. The next developments will be control of food temperature, and perhapsvoice control and speaking abilities.

The robot will be tested together with a local sushi(寿司)delivery company Ride on Express Co. Upon making a sushi order, customers will receive codes on their smart phones that will allow them to unlock the robot and get their orders out. Similar testing attempts have been undertaken by Domino's Pizza in Australia, where they tested a delivery robot a year ago.

In any case, before robots are able to deliver food or any other goods to real customers, massive testing on public roads or in the public air space will have to take place. While it is in the government's best interest to make up for the shortage of delivery in the Japanese labor market, it is clear that self-driving machines of any kind will not be permitted on the roads until they are fully tested and proven safe enough for public roads. According to the experts, this could take another 3 to 5 years.

In any case, robot delivery is not such a distant future after all, and recent developments show that there is significant market demand for such type of delivery.

1.How do Japanese handle the employee shortages in delivery service?

A.By raising employment and working hours.

B.By employing science and technology.

C.By increasing the salary.

D.By delivering more at a time.

2.What is the second paragraph mainly about?

A.The introduction of delivery robots.

B.The usage of delivery robots.

C.The basic data of delivery robots.

D.The appearance of delivery robots.

3.What's the reaction of Japanese government to delivery robots?

A.Being critical of the technology.

B.Ignoring the development.

C.Being a little bit hesitated.

D.Becoming great interested.

4.What can be the best title for the text?

A.Robot DeliveryNew Tests in Japan B.Robot Delivery Coming to Use in Japan

C.Employee Shortage in Delivery in Japan D.Latest Automatic ServiceRobots

 

    Stephen Hawking was regarded as one of the most brilliant physicists in history. His work on the origins and structure of the universe, from the Big Bang to black holes, changed the field greatly. His best-selling books also appealed to a number of readers.

Stephen Hawking had a challenging life. He was born in England on Jan.8, 1942-300years to the day after the death of the astronomer Galileo Galilei. He attended University College, Oxford, where he studied physics, despite his father’s urging to focus on medicine. Hawking went on to Cambridge to research cosmology.

In early 1963, just before his 21st birthday, Hawking suffered from a serious disease more commonly known as Lou Gehrig’s disease. He was not expected to live more than two years. Completing his doctor’s degree did not appear likely. Yet, Hawking had overcome the great difficulties, not only attaining his Ph. D. but also building new roads into the understanding of the universe in the decades since.

Hawking continued at Cambridge after his graduation, serving as a research fellow and later as a professional fellow. In 1974, he was inducted(正式就职)into the Royal Society, a worldwide fellowship of scientists. In 1979, he was appointed Lucasian Professor of Mathematics at Cambridge, the most famous academic chair in the world.

As the disease spreadHawking became less mobile and began using a wheelchair. Talking grew more challenging and, in 1985, an emergency tracheotomy(气管切开术)caused his total loss of speech. A speech-generating device was constructed at Cambridge, combined with a software program, serving as his electronic voice and allowing Hawking to select his words by moving the muscles in his cheek. Hawking died on March 14, 2018.

1.What greatly influenced the field Stephen Hawking studied

A.Stephen Hawking’s best-selling books.

B.His research on the Big Bang and black holes.

2.What does the underlined word “cosmology” in paragraph 2 mean?

A.A research on time. B.A subject of medicine.

C.A study about universe. D.A project in Cambridge.

3.What happened to Stephen Hawking in early 1963?

A.He became world famous. B.He achieved his doctor’s degree.

C.He was badly affected by a serious disease D.He built new roads into the understanding of the universe.

4.How did Stephen Hawking express himself finally?

A.By using a speech-generating device. B.With the help of an operation.

C.By using body language. D.With the help of some people.

 

    Where can you volunteer your time? Check out these 4 activities for excellent volunteer opportunities that require no previous experience.

Animal Rescue Shelters

Local animal shelters always need volunteers. Brush up your office skills by answering emails or phone calls, and providing general administrative assistance. Try making some connections among the staff or offering your dog walking services to the pet owners. It makes for a great part-time job, and plus, may turn into a full-time one.

Habitat for Humanity

Habitat for Humanity offers locally targeted volunteer opportunities. If you are interested in developing experience in home repair and building maintenance, check out its A Brush With Kindness campaign or the Women Build program, designed specifically to help women learn construction skills. Your experience can contribute directly to team-building and leadership ability.

Local Libraries

As a teenager, I volunteered at my local library for a few hours a week for a school project. I liked it so much that I ended up volunteering every week and developed a life-long love of books. Libraries badly need help to organize shelves and assist readers, and you may sometimes help set up and run public events, such as author signings and book fairs.

Art Museums

If you love art, working in a museum can be an invaluable experience. You can surround yourself with timeless works of art, soak up knowledge, and acquire administrative skills meanwhile.

阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。

Gold and brown leaves crunched (嘎吱响) under Dora’s boots as she made her way down the sidewalk. She couldn’t wait to be home. The autumn cold wind was bad, but it was not nearly as hard to bear as the cold she felt in her heart.

She couldn’t forget the way she had frozen in front of the class today. Mr. Roberts divided the class into groups to do presentations. Each person in the group would speak for five minutes in front of the class. Today was Dora’s turn. Her legs trembled all the way to the front of the classroom. Her hands shook so badly that she couldn’t read her notes. As Dora spoke, her voice became softer. Mr. Roberts kindly ended Dora’s part of the presentation even though she had clearly not finished. He also asked Dora to stay for a moment after class.

“Dora, I know you’re shy, but you worked hard on this project. I’d hate to see you give up on yourself.” Mr. Roberts suggested, “If I give you another chance tomorrow, do you think you can find your courage?”

Dora nodded. She went as quickly as she could to her next class. She kept her head down and hoped the school day would end soon.

Arriving home, she found Mom baking in the kitchen. When Mom baked, Dora always watched and chatted with her. Mom always said it was Dora’s company that made her baked goods taste so sweet. Mom studied Dora’s face as she came into the kitchen. “What’s wrong, Dora?”

Tears shone in Dora’s eyes. She told the whole story. Mom was silent for a moment. “Why is it that you can talk to me about anything and everything, but you can’t talk to your classmates?” Mom asked, sliding the round cake pans into the oven. She set the timer and then said, “Let me show you something.”
