Recently, I flew to Las Vegas to attend a meeting. As we were about to arrive, the pilot announced with apology that there would be a slight delay before setting down. High desert winds had forced the airport to close all but one runway. He said that we would be circling the city for a few minutes waiting to land. We were also told to remain in our seats meanwhile with our seat belts 1. (fasten) because there might be a few bumps. Well, that few minutes turned into about forty-five minutes, including a ride that would make a roller coaster 2. (pale) by comparison.

The movement was so sudden 3. several passengers felt sick and had to use airsickness bags. 4. you might guess, that’s not good thing to happen in a narrow space because it only serves to increase the discomfort of the situation.

About twenty minutes into the adventure, the entire airplane became very quiet. There was now a sense of anxiety and fear that could be distinctly noticed. Every passenger simply held on for dear life…5. one. A baby was having a good time! With each bump of the aircraft, he 6. let out a giggle of happiness. As I observed this, I realized that he didn’t know he was supposed to be afraid and worried about his safety. He 7. thought about the past nor about the future. Those are 8. we grown-ups have learned from experience. He was enjoying the ride because he 9. (not teach) to fear it. 10. (understand) this, I took a deep breath and sat back into my seat, pretending I was really on a roller coaster. I smiled for the rest of the flight. I even managed to giggle once or twice, which is much to the chagrin of the man sitting next to me holding the airsickness bag.

Our house was directly across the street from the clinic entrance of John Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore. We lived downstairs and rented the upstairs rooms to the patients at the clinic.

One evening as I was fixing supper, there was a knock at the door. I opened it to see a truly awful-looking man. He’s hardly taller than my eight-year-old son. “Good evening. I’ve come to see if you’ve a room. I came for a treatment this morning from the eastern shore, and there’s no bus till morning.” He told me he’d been hunting for a room since noon but with no success. “I guess it’s my face…I know it looks terrible, but my doctor says with a few more treatments…” For a moment I hesitated, but his next words convinced me: “I could sleep in this chair on the porch. My bus leaves early in the morning.”

I told him we would find him a bed. When I had finished the dishes, I talked with him. He told me he fished for a living to support his five children, and his wife, who was hopelessly crippled (残疾的) from a back injury. He didn’t tell it by way of complaint. Next morning, just before he left, as if asking a great favor, he said, “Could I come back and stay the next time?” He added, “Your children made me feel at home.”

On his next trip he arrived a little after seven in the morning. As a gift, he brought a big fish and the largest oysters (牡蛎) I had ever seen. I knew his bus left at 4:00 a.m. and I wondered what time he had to get up in order to do this for us.

In the years he came to stay overnight with us and there was never a time that he did not bring us vegetables from his garden. I know our family always will be grateful to have known him; from him we learned how to accept the bad without complaint when facing the misfortune.

1.Why did the author agree to let the man spend the night in his house at last?

A. Because the man said others refused to accommodate him.

B. Because the man said he would not cause much inconvenience.

C. Because the man said he had come from the eastern shore.

D. Because the man said he had been hunting for a room since noon.

2. How long would it take the man to travel from his home to Baltimore by bus?

A. About 1 hour.　　　　　　　　　　　　　 B. About 2 hours.

C. About 3 hours.　　　　　　　　　　　　 D. About 4 hours.

3.From the text we can know that __________.

A. the author’s children were kind and friendly to the man

B. the man was fed up with his hard-work and his family

C. John Hopkins Hospital provided rooms for the patients to live in

D. the author and his family were thought highly of by his neighbors

4.The author’s family were grateful to know the man because __________.

A. he often brought them fish and vegetables from his garden

B. he paid them money for his staying

C. he taught them how to accept the bad without complaint

D. he stayed only overnight with the writer’s family

LAS VEGAS (AFP) — Children may not like it but a British technology firm has invented an electronic babysitter -- a wristwatch-like device that lets parents know where their children are at all times.

The GPS Child Locator, or num8, attaches securely to a child’s wrist and contains a Global Positioning System (GPS), said Matthew Salmon, a spokesman for the manufacturer, lok8u.

"It uses GPS and GSM (Global System for Mobiles) technology with an accuracy of 10 feet (three meters)," he said. "It tracks your child."

"It only starts working when the device is connected to the child’s wrist," Salmon said, and is "very difficult to get off."

"Even if the child managed to get it off it would send an emergency text message through to your mobile phone," he said. "It would give you a Google Maps image with their exact location, the street name and the zip code."

When a child is wearing the device, a parent sends the text message "wru" and the child’s current location is sent back to a mobile phone or computer.

Parents can also log on to the company website to discover their child’s present location.

"You can also set up a perimeter, an invisible fence, and if they wander out of this invisible fence which you put on the Internet it will warn you," Salmon said. "It will text you immediately."

Salmon said the device is waterproof and shockproof and lasts for three days with a full charge.

It will be available in both Britain and the United States this year and retails for 200 dollars with a 10 dollar a month subscription fee.

He said the company had received thousands of inquiries about the device since launching it this week. "Fifty percent are positive, 50 percent are negative, that it’s a bit Big Brotherish," he said. "But it’s really just about letting you have freedom of mind."

1.Only when ________does the device begin to work.

A．it uses GPS and GSM technology                B．it is put within about 3 meters

C．it’s joined to parents’ computer                 D．it is fastened to the child’s wrist

2.If a child is wearing the “wristwatch”, parents can track them by ________.

A．sending the text message “wru”                B．replying to the text message

C．getting a Google Maps picture                   D．phoning the local police station

3.What Can we conclude from the text?

A．It won’t be easily found if a child loses t11e device

B．The device won’t work while a child is swimming

C．Parents can easily track children due to the device

D．The new product needs to be fully charged daily

4.The purpose of the text is to ________.

A．explain how to use the new device

B．attract more buyers to the new product

C．discuss advantages of a new invention

D．introduce a new electronic equipment
