One day I was walking home along the street with my iPad on，when suddenly my headphones(耳机）were knocked off my head and a man threw his arm around my neck，saying“Just be quiet．” I was being attacked，and this man's arm was gripping（紧夹）onto me！I started screaming and tried to pull him off me, but failed. He was forcing me to walk towards the back of an auto repair shop and he just kept saying“Be quiet.”
My mind froze with fear. Then I heard my great-grandmother’s voice in my head. She was saying“Come on now. I know you are stronger than that！” She was the rock in our family until she died four years ago.
I have never had any self-defense(自卫）training, but I went for it--I let out a loud scream as I kicked my leg back into his shin(胫骨）！He let go of me(放开我) and I ran off. When I looked back to see if he was running after me，I saw he was running in the opposite direction. Then I ran like crazy to a nearby store.
I asked the girl at the counter for the phone and called my mom. She picked me up five minutes later and I explained what happened through sobs(抽泣)．“I am calling the police!” She exclaimed. When we got home，two officers were waiting for us and I told them what had happened.
After my experience，I was afraid to do anything. Things slowly got better，but I still don’t like anyone going near my neck.
The fear isn’t totally gone-after all; the guy is still out there somewhere. But I had a new understanding of my own strength. I never expected to be able to fight off an attacker. I am stronger than I realized.
1.How did the author get rid of the man？
A. She used all her strength to pull him off her.

A. The attack made the author more confident in a way.
B. The author suddenly remembered some self-defense movements.
C. The author was so frightened that she did nothing to fight back.
D. The accident left no influence on the author now.
4.What might be the author’s purpose of writing this passage？
A. To warn teenagers of possible dangers on the way to school.

Everyone agrees that it’s necessary to reduce carbon emissions （排放物） around the world. There is less agreement over exactly how nations should go about achieving a more carbon - free planet. Thus, the environmental equivalent: cap – and – trade carbon emissions, or place a carbon tax on all users?
With cap - and - trade programs, governments limit the level of carbon produced by an industry. Companies that hold their emissions below the cap can sell their remaining allowance on a carbon market, while companies that go beyond their limit must purchase credits on that market. Carbon taxes are more straightforward: a set tax rate is placed on the consumption of carbon with the idea that raising the price will encourage industries and individuals to consume less. At the moment, cap-and-trade has the upper hand, but doesn’t defeat the tax just yet.
Supporters of the tax argue that a cap – and – trade system would be too difficult to administer – and too easily gamed by industries looking to sidestep emissions caps. Cap-and-trade advocates contradict that like all other flat taxes, a carbon collection would relatively burden lower – income families, who spend a greater percentage of their income on energy than rich households.
So which system will have a larger effect on carbon consumption? A 10% carbon tax might reduce the demand for carbon about 5 % or less, according to an analysis by the Carbon Tax Center, an environmental advocacy group. That may not be enough. Businesses and governments haven’t figured out how the two competing systems can work together, but in the end, the world may need both.
1.The passage focuses on_________.
A. programs of collecting taxes
B. systems of reducing carbon emissions
C. reasons for reducing carbon emissions
D. contradictions between the two systems
2.According to the cap – and – trade program, companies_________ .
A. are forbidden to produce carbon emissions
B. are allocated the same amount of carbon consumption
C. can sell their remaining allowance within their limits
D. can sell the extra amount of carbon at a higher price
3.Carbon taxes work by _________.
A. burdening well – off families
B. encouraging industries to consume carbon
C. raising the price for carbon consumption
D. limiting the carbon consumption of industries only
4. The underlined word “cap” in the second paragraph most likely refers to_________. A. limit B. credit C. level D. rate
