I had never been more anxious in my life. I had just spent the last three endless hours trying to get to the airport so that I could travel home. Now, as I watched the bus driver set my luggage on the airport sidewalk, I realized that my anxiety had only just begun.

This was my first visit alone to the international terminal of the airport, and nothing was familiar. I couldn’t make sense of any of the signs. Where was the check-in counter? Where should I take my luggage? I had no idea where to go, feeling as if I were deaf and blind and stupid. I began to panic. What time was it? Where was my plane? I had to find help because I couldn’t be late.

I tried to ask a passing businessman for help, but my words all came out wrong. He just frowned and walked away. What had happened? I had been in this country for a whole semester, and I couldn’t even remember how to ask for directions. This was awful! Another bus arrived at the terminal, and the passengers came out carrying all sorts of luggage. Here was my chance! I could follow them to the right place, and I would not have to say a word.

I dragged my enormous suitcase behind me and followed the group. We finally reached the elevators. Oh, no! They all fit in it, but there was not enough room for me. I watched in despair as the elevator doors closed. I was abandoned again! I had no idea what to do next. I got on the elevator when it returned and stared at all the buttons. Which one could it be? I pressed button 3, because I thought I saw those passengers pressed 3, though it was no more than a quick glance. The elevator slowly climbed up to the third floor and came to a stop. There were no check-in counters! I looked around shyly, only to find an elderly man standing at the corner. He was an airport employee.

Paragraph 1: Tears formed in my eyes as I saw the empty hall and realized that I would miss my plane. Just then the elderly airport employee walked towards me from the corner. He saw that I was lost and asked if he could help in any way. He gave me his handkerchief to dry my tears. He smiled kindly. He patted my shoulder to ease my anxiety before leading me down a long hallway. We walked up some stairs, turned a corner, and at last, there was the check-in counter!He led me past all the lines of people and pushed my luggage to the inspection counter. Paragraph 2 When I turned to thank him for all his help, he was gone. I never got an opportunity to know that kind man’s name, but I would always remember his unexpected kindness. He helped me when I needed it most Without his timely help, I would have certainly missed my plane. I can only hope that one day I will be able to do the same for another traveler who is suffering a terrible journey. 【解析】 这是一篇续写。短文叙述了作者要赶飞机,一生中从未如此焦虑过,这是作者第一次独自来到机场的国际航站楼,一切都不熟悉,为了能够找到办理登机手续的柜台,作者跟谁着一群人上了三楼,电梯慢慢地爬上三楼,停了下来。没有登记柜台!作者害羞地环顾四周,却发现一个老人站在角落里。他是一名机场工作人员。 1.第一段给出的首句是Tears formed in my eyes as I saw the empty hall and realized that I would miss my plane.这一句是故事发展的转折点。可以从“就在这时,机场的一位老员工从拐角处向我走来。”入手扩展开去。接下来:他看到我迷路了,就问我是否需要他帮忙并拍我的肩膀来缓解我的焦虑,然后带我走过一条长长的走廊。我们上了几级楼梯,拐了个弯,终于到了办理登机手续的柜台。他领着我穿过了所有排队的人群,把我的行李推到了验票柜台。该段最后一句与第二段首句“当我转身感谢他的帮助时,他已经走了。”相吻合。——无论从何角度拓展,需注意与续写第二段首句呼应。 2.第二段所给首句When I turned to thank him for all his help, he was gone.这一句呼应前文,紧接着可以从“我从来没有机会知道那个好心的人的名字,但我会永远记住他出乎意料的好意。”入手续写。作者想感谢这位老员工时他却已经走了,作者觉得在最需要的时候帮助了作者。如果没有他及时的帮助,作者肯定会错过我的飞机。作者只希望有一天,能够为另一个正在经历可怕旅程的旅行者做同样的事情。

How to Develop Appropriate Self-Confidence

Under most circumstances having self-confidence is a good thing. 1. It is this strong sense of confidence that allows them to go out in the world and reach for their goals.

But can you have too much self-confidence? 2. In most cases, knowing your strengths and having the assuredness to go out and take risks are admirable qualities. But when this confidence makes you inflexible, opposed to trying new things, and incapable of listening to others, it can become harmful to success and well-being. So what can people do to ensure that their self-confidence is realistic, authentic and socially appropriate?

3. Whether you are evaluating your own success or offering praise to your children, try to place a greater emphasis on the work that went into the task rather than just focus on how things turned out. You cannot always control how things go, but you can control the amount of work you put into achieving your goals.

Keep learning new things. Even if you are highly confident about your skills in an area, keep looking for new challenges. It is easy to become overconfident if you think you know everything there is to know about a subject. Finding new challenges to overcome does sharpen your skills. 4.

Listen to what others have to say. Overconfidence can sometimes cause people to become rigid and even arbitrary. Instead of assuming that your way is the right or only way, try to keep an open mind. 5. However, it is important to listen in order to gain a new perspective.

A.Focus on the effort, not the outcome.

B.Is overconfidence definitely a good thing?

C.You might not always agree with other people.

D.Having too much self-confidence is beneficial to us.

E.Are you teaching in a different way and extremely excellent?

F.Confident people tend to be more successful in a wide variety of fields.

G.Finding new challenges also reminds you that there're fresh ways of thinking about things.

    Tests have shown robots can diagnose heart problems in as little as four seconds, as a review of artificial intelligence Al finds machines are now as good at spotting illness as doctors.

Analyzing a patient's heart function on a cardiac MRI (心脏磁共振成像)scan currently takes doctors around 13 minutes. But a new trial by University College London UCL showed an Al program could read the scans in less time with equal accuracy. There are approximately 150,000 such scans performed in the UK each year, and researchers estimate that fully using Al to read them could save 54 clinician-days (临床天数)at each cardiac centre per year. So it can make up for the shortage of doctors.

It is hoped that Al where computer systems are able to learn from data to identify new patterns with minimal human intervention will transform medicine by helping doctors spot dis- eases such as heart disease and cancer faster and earlier. However, most scans are still read by specially trained doctors.

Dr Charlotte Manisty, who led the UCL research, said, "Cardiovascular MRI offers in- comparable image quality for assessing heart structure and function. However, current manual  analysis remains basic and outdated. Automated machine techniques offer the potential to change this and completely improve efficiency and accuracy, and we look forward to further research that could confirm the superiority to human analysis."

She added, “Our dataset of patients with a range of heart disease who received scans enabled us to demonstrate that the greatest sources of measurement errors arise from human factors. This indicates that automated techniques are at least as good as humans, with the potential soon to be  'super-human'—transforming clinical and research measurement precision."

Professor Alastair Denniston said, "Within those handful of high-quality studies, we found that by deep learning Al could indeed detect disease ranging from cancer to eye disease as accurately as health professionals. But it's important to note that it did not absolutely exceed human professional diagnosis. ”

1.Which of the following can best describe this Al program?

A.Time-consuming. B.Environmentally friendly.

C.Extremely unpractical. D.Labor-saving.

2.What is Charlotte Manisty's expectation of automated machine techniques?

A.To treat eye disease faster and earlier.

B.To analyze heart disease efficiently and accurately.

C.To combine manual with automated analysis.

D.To confirm heart structure and function.

3.What did Alastair Denniston say about Al?

A.It would be super-human soon.

B.It couldn't completely replace expert doctors.

C.It would correct professionals' measurement errors.

D.It couldn't detect cancer as accurately as health professionals.

4.What is the main idea of the text?

A.Al has many shortcomings in practice.

B.Al totally shows its superiority to human analysis.

C.Al can reduce medical errors arising from human factors.

D.Al can diagnose heart disease as well as doctors in less time.
