         A nine-year-old kid was sitting at his desk when suddenly there was a puddle (/JC^C)between his feet
    and the front of his trousers was wet. He thought his heart was going to stop because he couldn't possibly
    imagine how this had happened. It had never happened before, and he knew that when the boys found out
    he would never hear the end of it. When the girls found out, they would never speak to him again as long as
    he lived.
         He prayed this prayer, "Dear God, I need help now! Five minutes from now I'm dead meat!" He looked
    up from his prayer and here came the teacher with a look in her eyes that said he had been discovered. As
    the teacher was walking toward him, a classmate named Susie was carrying a goldfish bowl full of water.
    Susie tripped (绊倒) in front of the teacher and dumped (倒) the bowl of water in the boy's lap. The boy
    pretended to be angry, but all the while was saying to himself, "Thank you. Lord!"
         Now all of a sudden, instead of being the object of ridicule, the boy was the object of sympathy. The
    teacher rushed him downstairs and gave him gym shorts to put on while his trousers dried out. All the other
    children were on their hands and knees cleaning up around his desk. The sympathy was wonderful. But as
    life would have it, the ridicule that should have been his had been transferred (转移) to someone else+-Susie.
    She tried to help, but they told her to get out.
         When school was over, the boy walked over to Susie and whispered,"You did that on purpose, didn't you?"

         The Rockford police chief and some city officials want to install (安装) video cameras in all 100 police
    cars. They think this will reduce the number of lawsuits (法律诉讼). In the last five years, Rockford has
    paid out more than five million dollars to settle about 40 lawsuits.
         The chief said,"If cameras had been in those cars. we wouldn't have. had to pay one cent. We're always
    pulling over drunks or drug users who try to fight the police or shoot them. Then they always claim (声称)
    that the police start beating them first or start shooting at them first."
         The cost of installing cameras will be about $500 each. The city council (委员会) will vote on the
    proposal (提议) next Monday. Ten of the 13 council members said that they like the idea. One member said
    that it makes good sense.
         The police officers enthusiastically support camera use. One officer said that too many people think the
    police often lie; cameras would show citizens that police tell the truth. "The money that we've been spending
    on lawsuits will be better spent on more cameras," said one officer.
         Citizen opinions to the idea of police car cameras are mixed. One person, said that the police should have
    started doing this years ago when video cameras were invented. But an elderly man strongly objected. "These
    police are trying to stick their nose into everything," he said. He was going to attend the council meeting to
    condemn the proposal. He hoped that other citizens would join him.
    1. We can learn from what the chief said that with cameras on _____.
    A. the police will not be treated unjustly
    B. the police will be free from any lawsuits
    C. the police can beat the law-breakers first
    D. the police can monitor everything around
    2. What's the purpose of installing video cameras in police cars?
    A. To pay less money on lawsuits.
    B. To cut the number of lawsuits.
    C. To prevent lawsuits from happening.
    D. To stop being beaten by law-breakers.
    3. Which group of people support camera use most?
    A. Council members.
    B. Police officers
    C. Local people.
    D. Drug users.
    4. What can be learned from the last paragraph?
    A. Most citizens support camera use in police cars.
    B. The police are trying to take control of everything.
    C. The man showed great disagreement on camera use in police cars.
    D. Other citizens will join the man to object to camera use in police cars.

         Most recently, it's very common in students who need a parent present for job interviews. Naturally, it's
    easy to blame the students in these situations, but the bigger problem is us. We-as parents-are so eager to
    shelter our kids that we fail to realize that this in itself is harming them. As the mother of two young sons, I
    have to remind myself constantly that the biggest responsibility I have as a parent is to help them develop the
    skills needed to live in, to live without me. So, I'll let them fail.
         I'll let them fail because as long as they are safe and warm inside their comfort zones, they will never grow. And failure梐long with loss, heartbreak, disappointment, etc.-will be part of growth for them. Call me the
    anti-tiger mom, but leaving them alone is,my way of helping them become equipped to fit in this world as we
    know it today. From terrorism and seemingly endless natural disasters, to our national debt and beyond, if we
    expect the next generation to stand up to the very real problems of our time, we need to stop feeding them and
    start teaching them how to fish.
         My children now are becoming little masters of compromise, but they try to negotiate (协商) everything
    now. It's a small price to help them learn a skill they'll use for the rest of their lives, including when I don't
    accompany them on job interviews.
    1. Why do parents accompany their kids on job interviews?
    A. Because they want to protect their kids from difficulties.
    B. Because they think they can help them on the questions.
    C. Because their kids are too shy to attend interviews.
    D. Because their kids strongly request them to do so.
    2. According to the author, what is beneficial to kids' development?
    A. Sheltering them.
    B. Keeping them safe.
    C. Leaving them alone.
    C. Blaming them.
    3. Why does the author stress failure in kids' life?
    A. To make them stronger than other kids.
    B. To help them grow in this tough world.
    C. To help them develop all social skills.
    D. To make them learn to compromise.
    4. Which of the following might be the best title for die text?
    A. Never Shelter Your Kids
    B. Let Your Kids Fail
    C. Be Eager to Grow Up
    D. Live Without Parents

         Hospital emergency rooms treat injured fingers all the time. Without treatment, a bad cut can lead to
    permanent damage. But how should a person know when a bleeding cut is serious enough to require
    medical attention?
          Here are some tips from Dr. Martin Brown, chairman of the department of emergency at Inova
    Alexandria Hospital in Virginia. 
         1. Laceration (裂口)
         The medical term for a cut or tear in the skin is a laceration.   1   A long cut on a finger can likely be
    treated without a visit to a doctor if the wound is not very deep. However, if you have a short but deep
    laceration, you will need professional attention,
         2. Fingertips cut off
         Some injuries, like a fingertip that gets cut off, might even need surgery (外科手术) to repair.   2   
    More often, cutting down the bone is what is done because reattaching a fingertip is often not successful.
         3. Bleeding 
           3    Small cuts usually produce what is known as venous (静脉的) bleeding. This means the blood
    flows steadily from the injury. The bleeding will often stop when pressure is put on the wound. In most
    cases holding direct pressure with a clean cloth for four to five minutes would do. But if a cut appears to
    be pumping blood out with some force, this may be a sign of arterial (动脉的) bleeding.   4     
         Finally, always keep this in mind: even a cut that does not require medical attention must be kept clean
    to prevent infection. Small cuts should be cleaned gently with clean water.   5    Then cover it with a clean,
    dry bandage.

    A. How a wound bleeds can be a sign of how serious it is.
    B. That requires a specialist to either cut down the bone or reattach the fingertip.
    C. This kind of injury should be treated by a medical professional as soon as possible
    D. The first signs of this disease include difficulty opening the mouth.
    E. Use a washcloth to clean the area if the wound is dirty.
    G. The length is usually not as important as the depth.

    Dear Tony,
         Thank you for your letter. To tell you the truth, I've thought a lot of about whether you should buy a
    laptop computer help you with your study. In my opinion, you'd better not. For one reason, it's very easy
    for you to develop some bad habit once you have it, such as playing computer games, see movies and so
    on, which will be a waste of time. For other reason, buying a laptop computer don't mean you can study
    well. If you want to make a progress, you need to put your heart into your study but work hard. Whether
    you had a computer or not is not the most important. Do you agree to me? Looking forward to your reply!
