27、It’s not easy to find a person with the qualities it takes to be a hero. I didn’t really understand the meaning of the word “hero” until my third year in the college.
If you saw her, you wouldn’t think she really looks the part, but she is stronger than Superman could ever be. Her name is Sandra Keierleber. I first met her at volleyball tryouts(选拔赛), but didn’t notice anything special at first. As the week passed, however, she showed she had more heart than anyone. She stood out because she never gave up, no matter what.
Sandra isn’t the tallest or the fastest --- in fact, this was her first time playing volleyball and it showed--- but that didn’t stop her. She was always the first to arrive and the last to leave. By the end of tryouts she had found a place in everyone’s heart. When the name list for new members was put up, we all waited nervously as she checked. When she stood at the door and smiled happily, all we could do was cheer.
After Sandra made the team, she worked even harder to improve her game. When she asked for help, we gladly taught her. She also became our fan, attending almost every school game and even joining us in the city games. We all like her, because she never thinks about doing things the easy way, or loses that smile. Because of her great efforts, she makes herself a true hero--- and my hero, too.
【1】What did the writer think of Sandra Keierleber at the beginning?
A. Common B. Honest C. Pretty. D. Strong
【2】Sandra began to play volleyball when ______________.
A. she was tall enough B. she was at college
C. she became a hero D. she met the Superman
【3】Which of the following is true about Sandra?
A. She was born a volleyball player.
B. She is popular with her teammates
C. She does things in an easy way.
D. She isn’t the tallest but the fastest.
【4】Why does the writer think of Sandra Keierleber as a true hero?
A. She did very well at the tryouts.
B. She asked for help from her teammates.
C. She took part in the city matches.
D. She worked hard and never gave up.
28、 One evening in February 2007, a student named Paula Ceely brought her car to a stop on a remote road in Wales. She got out to open a metal gate that blocked her path. That’s when she heard the whistle sounded by the driver of a train. Her Renault Clio was parked across a railway line. Seconds later, she watched the train drag her car almost a kilometer down the railway tracks.
Ceely’s near miss made the news because she blamed it on her GPS device. She had never driven the route before. It was dark and raining heavily. Ceely was relying on her GPS, but it made no mention of the crossing. “I put my complete trust in the device and it led me right into the path of a speeding train,” she told the BBC.
Who is to blame here? Rick Stevenson, who tells Ceely’s story in his book When Machines Fail us, points the finger at the limitation of technology. We put our faith in digital devices, he says, but our digital helpers are too often not up to the job. They are filled with small problems. And it’s not just GPS devices: Stevenson takes us on a tour of digital disasters involving everything from mobile phones to wireless keyboards.
The problem with his argument in the book is that it’s not clear why he only focuses on digital technology, while there may be a number of other possible causes. A map-maker might have left the crossing off a paper map. Maybe we should blame Ceely for not paying attention. Perhaps the railway authorities are at fault for poor signalling system. Or maybe someone has studied the relative dangers and worked out that there really is something specific wrong with the GPS device. But Stevenson doesn’t say.
It’s a problem that runs through the book. In a section on cars, Stevenson gives an account of the advanced technologies that criminals use to defeat computer-based locking systems for cars. He offers two independent sets of figures on car theft; both show a small rise in some parts of the country. He says that once again not all new locks have proved reliable. Perhaps, but maybe it’s also due to the shortage of policemen on the streets. Or changing social circumstances. Or some combination of these factors.
The game between humans and their smart devices is amusing and complex. It is shaped by economics and psychology and the cultures we live in. Somewhere in the mix of those forces there may be a way for a wiser use of technology.
If there is such a way, it should involve more than just an awareness of the shortcoming of our machines. After all, we have lived with them for thousands of years. They have probably been fooling us for just as long.
【1】What did Parla Ceely think was the cause of her accident?
A.She was not familiar with the road. B.It was dark and raining heavily then.
C.Her GPS device didn’t tell her about the crossing. D.The railway workers failed to give the signal.
【2】Which of the following would Rick Stevenson most probably agree with?
A.Modern technology is what we can’t live without.
B.GPS error is not the only cause for Ceely’s accident.
C.Digital devices are more reliable than they used to be.
D.Digital technology often falls short of our expectation.
【3】In the writer’s opinion, Stevenson’s argument is _____.
A.one-sided B.reasonable C.puzzling D.well-based
【4】What is the real concern of the writer of this article?
A.The major causes of traffic accidents and car thefts.
B.The human unawareness of technical problems.
C.The shortcomings of digital devices we use.
D.The relationship between humans and technology.
29、How to Be a Good Upstairs Neighbor
One must remember to be polite when living in an apartment building. You may unintentionally bother your neighbors with actions that you think to be harmless. 【1】 Living upstairs, you must always be aware that everything you do may be heard by those who live below. This doesn’t mean that you have to completely change your lifestyle, though.
【2】 This will greatly reduce the sound of your footsteps, thus limiting the sound your downstairs neighbor will hear. You should always remember to change your shoes when entering your apartment to ensure that your downstairs neighbor doesn’t hear you walking around.
Place carpets in your apartment if you have hardwood floors. Doing so is another way to decrease the sound of steps coming from an upstairs apartment. You can also put your furniture on these carpets. 【3】
Close your windows when you can. A floor is usually about three meters high, so it’s quite easy to hear your conversations. 【4】 Therefore, whenever you are watching TV or listening to a radio, try to keep your windows closed as much as possible.
Do your cleaning on weekend afternoons. 【5】 Doing such housework at 3:00 pm on a Saturday is much better than doing so at 9:30 on a Tuesday night.
A.Wear slippers while in your upstairs apartment.
B.It becomes much easier when your windows are open.
C.No matter what you do, consider your neighbor’s requirements.
D.There’ll be a time when you will run a cleaner to clean your room.
E.This is especially true for those people who live above an apartment.
F.It will disturb your downstairs neighbor who has to work the next morning.
G.This keeps your furniture from moving around, thus limiting noise a downstairs neighbor may hear.
