We’ve all had cases where we’ve waited just a bit too long to pay an electric bill or speeding ticket．But one man, from California by reasonable assumption, who goes by “Dave”, recently took procrastination (拖延) one step further, by paying a parking ticket almost a half-century after it was given． In December 2018, the Minersville Police Department in Pennsylvania received a letter in the mail．Whoever wrote the letter decided it was best to keep his name somewhat unknown, so he put the return address as “Wayward Road, Anytown California” under the name “Feeling guilty”． When the officers opened the envelope, they found a brief letter, along with a $5 bill, and a parking ticket dating all the way back to 1974．The note read, “Dear PD, I’ve been carrying this ticket around for 40 plus years always intending to pay．Forgive me if I don’t give you my info．With respect, Dave.” Even though the initial parking ticket was only for $2, “Dave” must have felt awfully guilty because he left 150 percent, or $3, in interest． Michael Combs, the Police Chief of the Minersville Police Department, stated in an interview that the same ticket would cost about $20 if it was given today． Combs went on to share that the original ticket from 1974 was given to a vehicle that had an Ohio license plate． Because there was no system for tracking tickets given to out-of-state cars back then, “Dave” could have gotten away with never paying the $2 fine．But apparently, guilt got the best of him, and he decided to finally cough up the money more than 40 years past its due date． 【1】How much do we know about “Dave”? A. He lives in Wayward Road, Anytown California． B. The police are trying to find out more about him． C. His car probably came from Ohio at that time． D. “Dave” is of course the man’s real name indeed． 【2】Why didn’t “Dave” pay for the parking ticket until recently? A. He completely forgot about it in the past 44 years． B. He didn’t find it until almost half a century later． C. He failed to find out who he should pay the money to． D. He didn’t pay for it just because of procrastination． 【3】What drove “Dave” to pay for the parking ticket at last? A. A strong sense of guilty． B. Fear of being tracked by the police． C. Worry about being fined more． D. Sudden change of his financial situation． 【4】Which of the following can be the best title? A. Police Chief of the Minersville Police Department Shares a Story B. Mysterious Procrastinator Finally Pays 44-Year-Old Parking Ticket C. Unusual Letter Comes from Wayward Road, Anytown California D. Parking Ticket Carried Around for Almost Half a Century from Ohio |

One day when I was 12, my mother gave me an order: I was to walk to the public library, and borrow at least one book for the summer. This was one more weapon for her to defeat my strange problem—inability to read. In the library, I found my way into the “Children’s Room.” I sat down on the floor and pulled a few books off the shelf at random. The cover of a book caught my eye. It presented a picture of a beagle. I had recently had a beagle, the first and only animal companion I ever had as a child. He was my secret sharer, but one morning, he was gone, given away to someone who had the space and the money to care for him. I never forgot my beagle. There on the book’s cover was a beagle which looked identical (相同的)to my dog. Iran my fingers over the picture of the dog on the cover. My eyes ran across the title, Amos, the Beagle with a Plan. Unknowingly, I had read the title. Without opening the book, I borrowed it from the library for the summer. Under the shade of a bush, I started to read about Amos. I read very, very slowly with difficulty. Though pages were turned slowly, I got the main idea of the story about a dog who, like mine, had been separated from his family and who finally found his way back home. That dog was my dog, and I was the little boy in the book. At the end of the story, my mind continued the final scene of reunion, on and on, until my own lost dog and I were, in my mind, running together. My mother’s call returned me to the real world. I suddenly realized something: I had read a book, and I had loved reading that book. Everyone knew I could not read. But I had read it. Books could be incredibly wonderful and I was going to read them. I never told my mother about my “miraculous” (奇迹般的) experience that summer, but she saw a slow but remarkable improvement in my classroom performance during the next year. And years later, she was proud that her son had read thousands of books, was awarded a PhD in literature, and authored his own books, articles, poetry and fiction. The power of the words has held. 【1】The book caught the author’s eye because____________. A. it contained pretty pictures of animals B. it reminded him of his own dog C. he found its title easy to understand D. he liked children’s stories very much 【2】Why could the author manage to read the book through? A. He was forced by his mother to read it. B. He identified with the story in the book. C. The book told the story of his pet dog. D. The happy ending of the story attracted him. 【3】What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. The author has become a successful writer. B. The author’s mother read the same book. C. The author’s mother rewarded him with books. D. The author has had happy summers ever since. 【4】Which one could be the best title of the passage? A. The Charm of a Book B. Mum’s Strict Order C. Reunion with My Beagle D. My Passion for Reading |

Almost every second of every day an older adult falls in the United States. That's approximately 29 million falls per year and nearly 27,000 deaths. according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Still in the stating stage, the Active Pelvis Orthosis (APO) system in Switzerland wants to make a lightweight, wearable exoskeleton (外骨骼) that could detect signs of balance loss and assist with balance recovery to keep the elderly wearer from falling, only when needed. Other exoskeletons, either in development or on the market today, assist with movement and make heavy objects feel lighter. Mobility-impaired people can walk again. But none of these devices predict what the wearer is going to do next and take measures to correct an unsteady move. The 3 kilogram (6.7 pound) exoskeleton was built entirely from scratch by the research team and is designed to be worn on the lower half of the. body. A waistband connects to two movable carbon fiber braces (支架), each one positioned on the outer side of a leg. Tiny motors and so-called “adaptive oscillators” (适配振荡器) in the computer circuits use a special process to detect the, wearer's unique paces. That part takes just a few minutes. While wearing the exoskeleton, a person may feel the braces and the motors pushing slightly on their legs. If their paces go against normal, the motors create a force in the braces that cause them to stiffen up and push a little more strongly against the legs, which provides stability. In the next three years, the APO hopes to develop something that is commercially available. 【1】Why is the new exoskeleton invented? A. To slower users' walking paces. B. To improve users’ walking ability C. To promote users' sense of balance. D. To prevent users from falling 【2】What’s the feature of the new exoskeleton? A. It keeps users warm. B. It is worn on the back. C. It helps users move around. D. It corrects an unsteady move. 【3】What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about? A. How the new exoskeleton works. B. Where the braces are positioned. C. How long it takes to detect the user's paces D. What the new exoskeleton was built from. 【4】What is the purpose of the author in writing this text? A. To call on care for the elderly. B. To introduce a new invention. C. To advertise new device D. To bring hope for the elderly. |
