Insurance companies are normally willing to insure anything, but it must be unique to insure a dish. It was a unusual pie dish, for it was eighteen feet in long and six feet in width. They had been purchased by a local authority so that an enormous pie could baked for an annual fair. The pie committee decided that the best way to transport would be by a canal, so they insured it for the trip. Short after it was launched, the pie committee went to the local inn to celebrate. In the same time, a number of teenager climbed on to the dish and held a little party of their own. Dancing proved to be more than the dish could bear, but during the party it capsized (倾覆) and sink in seven feet of water.

Tips for Teaching Kids Responsibility
Your best friend has a teenager who helps with housework without being asked. Your cousin has a one-year-old child that puts her bottle in the sink when she finishes the milk, but no reminders are needed. 1. Raising helpful, good kids who know how to make a sandwich is not a fantasy! The following tips can give you a better chance of raising a responsible child who then grows into a responsible adult.
2. You can’t suddenly spring responsibility on a teenager and expect he will know how to follow through. He needs time to practice and totally understand what responsibility means.
Let kids help you. Don t complain when it's time to do housework. Smile and invite your son to help. 3. He will take these good feelings and learn to take ownership of his home and feel pride in keeping it up.
4. Make responsibilities age appropriate. You can show how to complete small tasks in daily life and perform them at a child’s skill level. For example, if your kid wants a snack, show him where the apples are and how to wash one off.
Teach your child consequences. Learning to take care of his things also helps a child develop a sense of responsibility for his actions. Get your son to clean up after an art project, and inform him that he won^ be able to play with his crayons the next day if he leaves a messy table. 5. The more you carry out the rules, the more likely he is to clean up without being asked.
A. Have a sense of responsibility.
B. Why do they make a sandwich for kids?
C. Show kids how to perform responsibility.
D. Where do these wonderful children come from?
E. Start to teach responsibility to kids early.
F. When your child is invited to participate, he feels valued.
G. Then take away his supplies if he does not take his responsibility.
After a friend recommended that he join a secret Google project six years ago, Brian Torcellini became a driver in a driverless car.
Torcellini,31, leads a crew of test drivers who are legally required to ride in Google’s fleet of 48 driverless cars . They only take a control in emergencies. Otherwise, they make observations that help the company’s engineers improve the driverless cars.
The driverless cars already have covered more than 2 million miles in six years of testing on private tracks, on highways and city streets. The vehicles have traveled more than half that distance in automated mode (自动模式),with one test driver in place to take control of the car if the technology fails or a potentially dangerous situation arises. Meanwhile, another driver sits in the front passenger seat taking notes of the problems that need to be fixed.
The job of the test driver requires a sense of adventure, something Torcellini acquired when he began to surf in high school. His other hobbies include fishing and scuba diving.
While the engineers who are programming the robot cars have technical backgrounds, most of the test drivers don’t. Torcellini worked in a book store. He dreamed of becoming a writer. He ended up at Google in 2009. Espinosa, 27, was working in a bicycle shop before he was hired as a test driver two years ago . Stephanie Villegas, 28, was a swim instructor, before becoming a test driver. Other test drivers were former soldiers and former photographers. They all share at least one thing in common: spotless driving records. Besides this, the job also requires a combination of good judgment, patience and fearlessness.
Before they are entrusted (托付) with the cars,Google’s test drivers must complete three-week training courses. The drivers are taught to take control of the robot car whenever there is any moment of doubt or danger.
Google employs “dozens” of test drivers but won't reveal the precise number . California law requires two test drivers per vehicle.

Those accustomed to browsing through thousands of books in large bookstores may find Japan’s Morioka Shoten a little strange. That’s because this tiny bookstore that is located in Ginza,Tokyo sells only a single book at a time.
Opened in May 2015, Morioka Shoten is the brainchild of Yoshiyuki Morioka. He began his career as a bookstore clerk in Tokyo’s Kanda district before branching out to open his own store. It was here while organizing book reading and signing that he realized that customers usually came into the store with one title in mind. Morioka began to wonder if a store could exist by selling multiple copies of just one single book. In November 2014, he partnered with Masamichi Toyama to establish a unique bookstore with the philosophy of “A Single Room with a Single Book”.
The selections that are picked by Morioka change weekly and vary widely to attract customers with different interests. Recent choices include The True Deceiver, an award-winning Swedish novel by Tove Jansson, Hans Andersen’s Fairy Tales, and a collection of Karl Blossfeldt’s photography of plants. Morioka has also selected books written by a famous Japanese author Mimei Ogawa.
To highlight his only offering, Morioka often uses clever tricks. For example, when selling a book about flowers, the storekeeper decorated his shop with the ones that had been mentioned in the book. He also encourages authors to hold talks and discussions so they can connect with customers. Morioka says his goal is for the customers to experience being inside a book, not just a bookstore.
Risky as the idea might seem, things appear to be going well. The storekeeper says he has sold over 2,100 books. Things can get better given that his bookstore is becoming increasingly popular not just among the locals but also visitors form other countries.
1.Why is Morioka Shoten unique?
A. It is popular with feigners.
B. It sells books of different topics.
C. It is decorated with colorful flowers.
D. It sells various copies of a book in a week.
2.Why does Morioka encourage authors to hold talks?
A. To introduce his bookstore.
B. To advocate his philosophy.
C. To make books better understood.
D. To help readers make more friends.
3.What’s the author’s opinion about the bookstore’s future?
A. Risky B. Promising.
C. Unpredictable. D. Hopeless
