Patience is of great importance in our daily life. Once I waited a bus to come at a stop. 30 minutes past, but no bus came. Both upset and annoyed, I decided to walk on feet. But no sooner had I left when the bus arrived. I thought if I had waited for one more minute, I would have caught it. If I chose to take a next bus, I would have to wait for other 30 minutes. Only then do I realize my problem. Being impatient will possible waste all the effort that we have put it in. Now whenever I am close to lose my patience, I¡¯ll think of this experience.

ADAPTIVE ACTION SPORTS

Adaptive Action Sports was founded in 2005 by Amy Purdy and Daniel Gale.

Amy Purdy was an active snowboarder, until she lost both her legs to bacterial meningitis(ÄÔ¼¹Ä¤Ñ×). She spent three months in the hospital fighting for her life, and doctors gave her a less than two percent chance of survival. Because of meningitis Amy lost circulation in both her legs, and when she came out of the hospital she had prosthetic legs(ÒåÖ«). When she lost her legs, Amy knew she would be active again, but didn¡¯t know how or when. She struggled to be active on her new legs, and a little over two years after her amputation(½ØÖ«) she entered the USASA (United States of America Snowboard Association) National Snowboarding Competition and won medals in three events.

Amy was at an adaptive snowboard workshop in 2002 when she met Daniel Gale. They immediately formed a connection through their enthusiasm for snowboarding, music, and art. Amy¡¯s biggest struggle had been obtaining information on how to start snowboarding again with prosthetic legs, and she and Daniel both saw the need to help others like Amy. They ¡°wanted to create something, a place, a forum, an organization that would enable individuals to find and participate in their enthusiasms without a struggle. Adaptive Action Sports was born.¡±

Their dream was to help athletes with permanent physical disabilities compete in action sports. Adaptive Action Sports holds camps, clinics, and events to create programs and opportunities for these individuals.

Since 2000, the USASA has provided opportunities for adaptive athletes to compete in snowboarding competitions. In 2007, the USASA Competition had 17 adaptive athletes compete, the largest number of adaptive athletes in adaptive athlete competition history. Although many competitors were still injured, they recovered quickly and showed how hard they are willing to push themselves.

I didn't cry when I learned I was the parent of a mentally handicapped child. I just sat still and didn't say anything.

When Kristi was old enough, we sent her to a kindergarten. It would have been comforting to cry the day I left her in that room full of kids. Kristi had spent hour upon hour playing by herself, but this moment, when she was the "different" child among them, she was probably the loneliest.

However, positive things began to happen to Kristi in her school, and to her schoolmates, too. Kristi's classmates always took pains to praise her: "Kristi got all her spelling words right today." No one bothered to add that her spelling list was easier than anyone else's.

Later, she faced a very special challenge. The final event of the term was a program based on a final outcome of the year's music and physical education activities. Kristi was behind in both. My husband and I dreaded the day as well.

On the day of the program, Kristi pretended to be sick. Desperately I wanted to keep her home. Surely missing one program couldn't matter. But my conscience wouldn't let me off that easily. So I practically got a pale, reluctant Kristi onto the school bus.

Just as I had forced my daughter to go to school, now I forced myself to go to the program. At the kindergarten, I felt worried because of her slow and clumsy reactions, she would surely hold up her team.

The performance went well until it was time for the sack race. Surely Jenny would find it tough. Now each child had to climb into a sack, hop to a goal line, return and climb out of the sack(´ü×Ó). I noticed Jenny standing near the end of her line of players.

But as her turn to join, a change took place in her team. The tallest boy behind Kristi placed his hands on her waist. Two other boys stood ahead of her. The moment the player in front of Kristi stepped from the sack, those two boys grabbed the sack and held it open while the tall boy lifted Kristi and dropped her into it. A girl ahead took her hand and supported her. Kristi gained her balance. Then off she hopped, smiling and proud.

At the cheers of teachers, schoolmates and parents, I silently thanked the warm, understanding people in life who make it possible for my disabled daughter to be like her fellow human beings.

Then I finally cried.

1.When sending her daughter to the kindergarten, the writer must have felt __________.

Muzak

The next time you go into a bank, a store, or a supermarket, stop and listen. What do you hear? ____1. It¡¯s similar to the music you listen to, but it¡¯s not exactly the same. That¡¯s because this music was especially designed to relax you, or to give you extra energy. Sometimes you don¡¯t even realize the music is playing, but you react to the music anyway.

Quiet background music used to be called ¡°elevator (µçÌÝ) music¡± because we often heard it in elevators. But lately we hear it in more and more places, and it has an new name ¡°Muzak¡±. About one-third of the people in America listen to ¡°Muzak¡± every day. The music plays for 15 minutes at a time, with short pauses in between. It is always more lively between ten and eleven in the morning, and between three and four in the afternoon, when people are more tired. 2.

If you listen to Muzak carefully, you will probably recognize the names of many of the songs. Some musicians or songwriters don¡¯t want their songs to be used as Muzak, but others are happy when their songs are chosen. Why? 3.

Music is often played in public places because it is designed to make people feel less lonely when they are in an airport or a hotel. It has been proven that Muzak does what it is designed to do. Tired office workers suddenly have more energy when they hear the pleasant sound of Muzak in the background. __4. Supermarket shoppers buy 38 percent more groceries.

5. They say it¡¯s boring to hear the same songs all the time. But other people enjoy hearing Muzak in public places. They say it helps them relax and feel calm. One way or another, Muzak affects everyone. Some farmers even say their cows give more milk when they hear Muzak!

A£®Some people don¡¯t like Muzak.

B£®The music gives them extra energy.

C£®Music is playing in the background.

D£®Factory workers produce 13 percent more.

E. Muzak tends to help people understand music better

F. They get as much as $4 million a year if their songs are used.

G. Muzak is played in most of the big supermarkets in the world.

The Future of Technology

William, a businessman, arrives in a foreign airport. He doesn¡¯t show his passport. Instead, a machine in the wall reads the computer chip£¨Ð¾Æ¬£©in his arm. This contains information about him: his name, age, and I.D number. He exits the airport, and a car door opens when it ¡°sees¡± him. The car takes him to his hotel. His room ¡°knows¡± he has entered the building and it ¡°reads¡± his body. He is cold, so the room becomes warmer. William then watches a business presentation on a video wall. When he takes a bath, the presentation ¡°follows him and continues ¡±on the bathroom wall. Finally, the room plays music to help him sleep. It turns off the music when it ¡°sees¡± him sleeping.

William doesn¡¯t exist, and none of this is real. But it might be soon. ¡°In five to ten years, computing and communications are going to be free and everywhere, in your walls, in your car, on your body,¡± says Victor Zue, leader of Project Oxygen.

Project Oxygen has one big idea: to create better relationships between machines and people. The dream is that computer will learn to understand what people want.

So, what changes will there be at work? Firstly, the building will know where everyone is, all the time. You want to talk to someone? Type the person¡¯s name on the nearest computer. It will show you a map of the building and exactly where this person is. You then call this person, who picks up the nearest telephone, also shown on the computer. If he or she is busy with a client£¨¿Í»§£©or in a meeting, the computer will tell you.

Is all this really possible? Visit the Siebel Center, Illinois and see for yourself: computers in the doors and walls, cameras everywhere, the technology of the future, but here today.

New Zealand will create one of the largest marine protected areas in the world, spanning an area of 620,000 sq km.

The Kermadec Ocean Sanctuary (±£»¤Çø) will be one of the world¡¯s most significant fully protected ecosystems, the prime minister of New Zealand, John Key, told the UN General Assembly in New York.

The sanctuary is in the South Pacific Ocean, about 1,000 km north-east of New Zealand, and expands a marine reserve that surrounds some small islands. The area is considered important in terms of biodiversity, featuring nearly 35 species of whales and dolphins, 150 types of fish and three of the world¡¯s seven sea turtle species. It is also geologically significant, including the world¡¯s longest chain of underwater volcanoes and the second deepest ocean trench, into 10 km underwater ¡ª deeper than Mount Everest¡¯s height. The scale of the sanctuary will dwarf (°«»¯) any previous New Zealand¡¯s protected area, spanning twice the size of the country¡¯s mainland. It will cover 15% of New Zealand¡¯s economic zone.

Commercial and recreational fishing will be completely banned, as will oil, gas and mineral prospecting (¿±Ì½), exploration and mining. Key¡¯s government aims to pass legislation establishing the sanctuary next year.

"The sanctuary is a world-class, unspoiled marine environment and New Zealand is proud to protect it for future generations,"Key said."New Zealanders value our coasts and oceans, which are an important part of our culture, economy and environment and we are committed to managing them sustainably. Creating protected areas will support not only our own fisheries, but those of our Pacific neighbors, adding to New Zealand¡¯s efforts to help grow Pacific economies through the responsible management of their ocean resources."

Nick Smith, New Zealand¡¯s environment minister, said the sanctuary might impose a cost upon the mining industry but that it is important to protect the ocean before exploration takes place."New Zealand needs to use its vast ocean resources for jobs and exports in industries like fishing, aquaculture, minerals and energy, but we also need to set aside special areas where nature comes first and marine life is fully protected," Smith said.

New Zealand will monitor the area via its navy and satellite technology. The Kermadec region will join three other key areas in the Pacific protected by the US, the UK and Australia.

Matt Rand, director of the Pew Charitable Trusts¡¯ Global Ocean Legacy (ÒŲú) campaign, welcomed Key¡¯s announcement."New Zealand will create the gold standard of conservation areas in the sanctuary, preserving one of the few relatively unspoiled areas of ocean on Earth," he said. "This commitment is an exciting step toward meeting global goals to safeguard at least 30% of the ocean through fully protected marine reserves."

1.Why is the Kermadec Ocean Sanctuary important in biodiversity?

A.It has a superior geographical location.

B.It has many different kinds of sea animals.

C.Its environment is suitable for the growth of marine life.

D.It is the only unspoiled area of ocean remained on Earth.

2.Which of the following will Key probably agree on?

A.People are allowed to fish for fun in the sanctuary.

B.All Pacific countries should be responsible for ocean resources.

C.New Zealanders attach great importance to protecting the sanctuary.

D.New Zealand has made great achievement in creating protected areas.

3.What can we infer from what Nick Smith said?

A.New Zealand should develop its marine industry in special areas.

B.The Kermadec Ocean Sanctuary may affect New Zealand¡¯s mining industry.

C.New Zealand hasn¡¯t figured out how to make full use of its ocean resources.

D.Measures should be taken immediately to protect the ocean after explorations.
