There was a young girl who was raised in circumstances where three meals day was a luxury.
Her family was so poor that she couldn’t afford footwear or books. She would wear overly long dresses to school so her class mates wouldn't notice her bare feet.
Her father had old fashioned ideas about how sons vs. daughters should be raised. However, a sympathetic colleague of his at work would sneak his daughter paper that was used only on one side. The girl would then sew them into a notebook and use those at school. Since she couldn’t afford textbooks either, she would borrow them from her classmates in return for helping them with their homework, and would copy by hand every word and every diagram from each textbook into her homemade single sided notebooks. She could have complained her fate and quit school. Instead, she chose to look at it as extra practice.
Invariably, she would graduate at the top of her class and eventually made it all the way to high school, fighting against her circumstances all the way, every single day.
It was the night before finals. She was putting the finishing touches on her biology lab work journal. It represented an entire year’s worth of her work. She was so absorbed in her school work she forgot to look at the clock. It was her father’s dinner time and she had not warmed his food yet. That was enough to drive him to such anger that he grabbed her journal and stuck the entire thing in the wood stove. Through blurry eyes, she watched her entire year’s labor go up in flames. In order to make that journal which had to be submitted to the examiners for grading, she had specially gathered sheets of paper with pencil writing on one side, and erased every pencil mark using erasers so small they were abandoned by their previous ow
ners as unusable. She then measured and hand cut each sheet so they were all the exact same size before starting work on the journal of 100 pages.
She could have broken down beyond hope at this point. Instead, when life handed her lemons, she decided she’s going to make the best lemonade ever tasted.
She served her father dinner, and after he went to bed, she set about recreating an entire year's worth of work overnight by the light of an oil lamp, because her father would be mad if she wasted electricity studying. This time, she was racing against the clock and this cost her when her work was graded. She still ended up topping her class anyway. She graduated high school with perfect scores and the highest honors in Math, Physics and Biology and with one point less than the perfect score in Chemistry. She made the best lemonade in her life!

A. The girl’s father treated her very well.

The Intelligent Transport team at Newcastle University have turned an electric car into a mobile laboratory named “DriveLAB” in order to understand the challenges faced by older drivers and to discover where the key stress points are.
Research shows that giving up driving is one of the key reasons for a fall in health and well-being among older people, leading to them becoming more isolated(隔绝) and inactive.
Led by Professor Phil Blythe, the Newcastle team are developing in-vehicle technologies for older drivers which they hope could help them to continue driving into later life.
These include custom-made navigation(导航) tools, night vision systems and intelligent speed adaptations. Phil Blythe explains: “For many older people, particularly those living alone or in the country, driving is important for preserving their independence, giving them the freedom to get out and about without having to rely on others.”
“But we all have to accept that as we get older our reactions slow down and this often results in people avoiding any potentially challenging driving conditions and losing confidence in their driving skills. The result is that people stop driving before they really need to.”
Dr Amy Guo, the leading researcher on the older driver study, explains, “The DriveLAB is helping us to understand what the key points and difficulties are for older drivers and how we might use technology to address these problems.
“For example, most of us would expect older drivers always go slower than everyone else but surprisingly, we found that in 30mph zones they struggled to keep at a constant speed and so were more likely to break the speed limit and be at risk of getting fined. We’re looking at the benefits of systems which control their speed as a way of preventing that.
“We hope that our work will help with technological solutions(解决方案) to ensure that older drivers stay safer behind the wheel.”
1.What is the purpose of the Drivel AB?
A.To explore newmeans of transport.
B.To design new types of cars.
C.To find out older driver`s problems.
D.To teach people traffic rules.
2.Why is driving important for older people according to Phil Blythe?
A.It keeps them independent.
B.It helps them save time.
C.It builds up their strength.
D.It cures their mental illnesses.
3.What do researchers hope to do for older drivers?
A.Improve their driving skills.
B.Develop driver-assist technologles.
C.Provide tips on repairing their cars.
D.Organize regular physical checkups.
4.What is the best title for the text?
A.A new Model Electric Car
B.A Solution to Traffic Problem
C.Driving Service for elders
D.Keeping Older Drivers on the Road

On a sunny da
y last August, Tim heard some shouting. Looking out to the sea carefully, he saw a couple of kids in a rowboat were being pulled out to sea.

But they were no match for it and the boat was out of control.
Tim knew it would soon be swallowed by the waves."Everything went quiet in my head," Tim recalls(回忆). "I was trying to figure out how to swim to the boys in a straight line."Tim took off his clothes and jumped into the water. Every 500 yards or so, he raised his head to judge his progress. "At one point, I considered turning back," he says. "I wondered if I was putting my life at risk." After 30 minutes of struggling, he was close enough to yell to the boys, "Take down the umbrella!"Christian made much effort to take down the umbrella. Then Tim was able to catch up and climb aboard the boat. He took over rowing, but the waves were almost too strong for him."Let's aim for the pier(码头)," Jack said. Tim turned the boat toward it. Soon afterward, waves crashed over the boat, and it began to sink. "Can you guys swim?" he cried. "A little bit," the boys said.
Once they were in the water, Tim decided it would he safer and faster for him to pull the boys toward the pier. Christian and Jack were wearing life jackets and floated on their backs. Tim swan toward land as water washed over the boys' faces.“Are we almost there?" they asked again and again. "Yes," Tim told them each time.After 30minutes, they reached the pier.
