Alexis, 17, sat quietly in the passenger seat of her dad's car. She let her eyes lazily scan, the landscape for wildlife. Then a deer came into view about 200 yards in front of them." Dad, there's a deer there!" Alexis said. It was a male deer with sharp antlers(角) on each side of its head.

As the car moved closer, Alexis saw that the deer's head was bent toward the ground. Then she heard a scream and saw an arm fly up near the deer's head. Alexis realized the deer was attacking a woman. Sue, a 44­year­old mother, had been out for her morning run. The deer followed her and edged closer." I knew I was in trouble," Sue says. She went to pick up a stick for self­defense, and the deer charged. It lifted her with its antlers and threw her into the air. Sue could feel blood flew down her leg. Within seconds, the deer had pushed her off the road.

When Alexis and her father pulled up, the deer was throwing Sue like a doll. Alexis looked into the woman's terrified eyes, and before her father had even stopped the car, the teenager jumped quickly out of the car and ran toward the deer." I was kicking it to get its attention," she says. Then her father, who had followed his daughter, pushed the deer away from the woman.

Alexis helped Sue into the car, and then applied a piece of cloth to Sue's injured leg." We're going to get you to a hospital," Alexis said. Then she heard her father shout loudly. He had been knocked to the ground. Alexis took hold of a hammer from the car and ran to where her father lay on his back. She beat the deer's head and neck, but the blows didn't scare it away." I was losing faith," she says." A couple more strikes, Alexis," said her father." You can do it." Turning the hammer around, Alexis closed her eyes and beat the deer's neck with all her strength. When she opened her eyes, the deer was running away. Alexis got in the driver's seat and sped toward the nearest hospital.

After Sue was treated, she tearfully thanked her rescuers." You expect a teenage girl to get on the phone and call for help," she says," not to beat up a deer."

Human beings have used tools for a very long time. In some parts of the world you can still find tools that people used more than two million years ago. They made these tools by hitting one stone against another. In this way, they broke off pieces from one of the stones. These chips of stone were usually sharp on one side. People used them for cutting meat and skin from dead animals, and also for making other tools out of wood. Human beings needed to use tools because they did not have sharp teeth like other meat eating animals, such as lions and tigers. Tools helped people to get food more easily.

Working with tools also helped to develop human intelligence. The human brain grew bigger, and human beings began to invent more and more tools and machines. The stone chip was one of the first tools that people used, and perhaps it is the most important. Some scientists say that it was the key to success of mankind.

Since 1960 a new kind of tool has appeared. This is the silicon chip (硅芯片). It is smaller than a finger nail, but it can store lots of information. It is an electronic brain. Every year these chips get cleverer, but their size gets smaller, and their cost gets less. They are used in watches, calculators and intelligent machines that we can use in many ways. In the future we will not need to work with tools in the old way. Machines will do everything for us. People will have plenty of spare time. But what will they do with it?

Human beings used stone chips for more than two million years, but human life changed very little in that time. We have used silicon chips for only a few years, but life is changing faster every day. What will life be like twenty years from now? What will the world be like two million years from now?

Even as Google plans to test its fleet(车队)of self­driving cars on public roads this summer, its business model remains a bit of a mystery. By 2025, as many as 250,000 self­driving vehicles could be sold each year globally, according to a study by an industry research firm.

"Vehicles that can take anyone from A to B at the push of a button could transform mobility for millions of people," said Chris Urmson, director of Google's self­driving car project. For now, Google has no plans to sell any of its self­driving cars. They are strictly for research. But they will hit public roads this summer near Google's headquarters in Mountain View, California. Previous testing has taken place only on closed courses.

The cars are built to operate without a steering wheel, accelerator(油门) or brake pedal." Our software and sensors do all the work," Urmson said." The vehicles will be very basic—we want to learn from them and adapt them as quickly as possible—but they will take you where you want to go at the push of a button." The prototypes(雏形) are the first of a 100­car fleet the tech giant is building.

In the long run, Urmson sees a future of safer roads－the majority of auto accidents are caused by human error－and fewer traffic jams. Robotic cars could also shuttle people who can't drive because of age or illness.

Google has said that self­driving cars could launch new business models in which people buy the use of vehicles they don't own. The company has already tested other types of self­driving cars on public streets, including modified Lexus sport­utility vehicles, under a special permit program by the California Department of Motor Vehicles that requires a human driver at the controls.

The state has issued six other companies permits to operate such cars, including Delphi, Mercedes­Benz, Volkswagen, Tesla, Bosch and Nissan. The vehicles that will be tested on open roads this summer will have removable steering wheels, accelerator and brake pedals to allow" safety drivers" to take control if needed.

Google says the cars are safe. The vehicles have sensors that" can detect objects out to a distance of more than two football fields in all directions, which is especially helpful on busy streets with lots of intersections," Urmson said." We're looking forward to learning how the community understands and interacts with the vehicles, and to uncovering challenges that are unique to a fully self­driving vehicle," Urmson said.

Sometimes even though you're paying attention in class, studying for tests, and doing your homework, certain classes seem too hard. Although you may hope that things will get easier, most of the time this doesn't happen.

What does happen for many people is that they work hard as they fall further behind. If you need extra help, the most important thing to know is that there's nothing embarrassing about it. No one is expected to understand everything, and people have very different learning styles.

He or she may be able to work with you before or after school and explain things more clearly. But what if you don't feel comfortable with your teacher? If so, you can speak to other teachers directly.

You might also be able to get some help from other students. If there's a good student, think about asking that person if you can study together. However, keep in mind that this might not get you the results you need.

Another option for extra help is a tutor, either on weekends, or in the evenings. You'll need to tell your parents about this because it costs money to hire a tutor. Tutors sometimes come to your home, but there are also tutoring centers across the country. Tutors help review and further explain things taught in the classroom. The advantage of having a tutor is that it gives you the opportunity to ask questions directly and work at your own pace.

A. Naturally, this makes them hate a class and everything to do with it.

B. Working hard means you can succeed.

C. The first place to turn for help is your teacher.

D. This might help because you'll hear the information from your peers.

E. However, you may be refused in most cases as no one wants to help you.

F. Sometimes it just helps to have someone new explain something in a different way.

G. A tutor may have broad knowledge of many things or may be trained in just one subject.

The Best Holiday

    I was unbelievably proud of my nine­year­old daughter, Emily. 1 to buy a mountain bike, she'd been saving her pocket money all year, as well as doing small jobs to 2 extra money.

    By Thanksgiving, she had collected only $49. I said," You can pick one from my bicycle3." "Thanks, Daddy. But your bikes are so old." She was right. All my bikes for girls were 1950s models, not the kind a kid today would 4 choose.

    As Christmas5 near, Emily and I went bike shopping. As we left one store, she noticed a Salvation Army volunteer standing next to a big pot." Can we give something, Daddy?" she asked." Sorry, Em, I'm out of 6 ."

    Throughout December, Emily 7 to work hard. Then one day, she made a surprising8." You know all the money I've been saving?" she said, a little hesitantly." I'm going to give it all to the poor people." So one cold morning before Christmas, Emily handed her total savings of $69 to a volunteer who was really very thankful.

    9by Emily's selflessness, I decided to contribute one my old bicycles to a car dealer who was collecting used bikes for poor children. 10 I selected a shiny model from my collection, however, it seemed as if a 11 bike took on a glow(发光). Should I contribute two? No! One would be enough! But I still couldn't shake the feeling that I should give another bike. When I later12the bikes, the car dealer said," You're making two kids very happy, sir. Here are your tickets. For each bicycle we receive from the kind people, we're giving away one chance to 13 a girls' mountain bike."

    Why wasn't I surprised when that second ticket proved to be the winner? I like to think it was a way of 14 a little girl for a sacrifice beyond her years—while giving her dad a lesson in the 15.

I have a warm story to share with you. A school in San Francisco not only accepted a deaf student, but also (teach) the entire class sign language to allow them to better communicate with him.

The moving story began in September last year a woman asked the primary school in her neighborhood (accept) her six­year­old son, James, who has a hearing disability. The teacher, Lily, agreed almost immediately, on the first day of school, she noticed James (sit) all by himself, unable to communicate with any of his classmates.

(determine) to find a way out, Lily tried developing a few signs of (she) own. But a parent of another child came up  an even better idea—getting the whole class to learn sign language along with James. So they got a sign language teacher on board, and three months later, James was able to communicate (happy) with all his classmates about regular things like homework and (game).

Festivals are meant to celebrate important times of year. Different countries have different festivals.

We all could say that we have bad days to endure as we go through life, but what does it take to have a really good day?

Some would suggest that a day would be great if everything they did turned out well, or they got exactly what they needed. On the other hand, have you ever thought that what you may give someone else may be the best day you ever had especially when you put someone else's well­being or happiness first on your list?

There is special warmth available to you and that warmth can come from a helping hand, doing a small favor for a total stranger, or even a smile.

I recall a day recently when I had to go to the hospital for an appointment because I wasn't feeling well and my doctor sent me to a specialist to try and determine the cause.

As I drove to the hospital, I admittedly was feeling gloomy and certainly wasn't on top of my game. As I approached the hospital, I began my search for a parking spot, a spot that was hard to come with everyone else trying to do the same thing. I finally found a spot not too far from the entrance to the hospital.

As I got out and brought my change out of my pocket, I noticed a man looking somewhat upset standing in front of a parking meter two cars away. He seemed to be searching his pockets for what I supposed was change for the meter.

Although, I really didn't feel that great, I thought that I should at least go over to him and find out if I could help him. As I approached him, he turned to look at me, feeling at a loss not knowing what to do. I asked him if he had a problem I could help with, and he said, without hesitation, that he had no change at all because he left it in his houseonly thinking about visiting his sick wife.

Paragraph 1：

Faced with such a situation, I reached into my pocket.

Paragraph 2：

The funny thing was that I felt a lot brighter, and a small smile came to my face.
