Once many years ago, I pulled a family out of a burning car somewhere in Wyoming. Last week I received a telephone call from a woman who could not stop crying as she told me that one of my stories had saved her son from committing suicide. In closing she called me a hero.
That got me thinking about what a hero is. Was I a hero because I pulled a family from a burning car? If so, how could I be a hero just because I wrote a story that saved someone’s life?
Today I looked up the word “hero” in the dictionary to see exactly what it meant. It read “a person who does something brave” and also “a person who is good and noble”.
That statement impressed me more than the part about being brave. So I thought about something very important. And I remembered what happened to me years ago.
After my marriage of twenty years ended, I was in such a condition. I was within hours trying to get up enough courage to end the pain and misery. When I returned home, someone had sent me a card in the mail which told me how much they would appreciate me as a friend. That wonderful card probably saved my life. That person, without even knowing it, saved a life and became a hero.
The many stories I kept writing in the following years saved the life of a teenage boy. In turn that makes the person who sent me the card a double hero. I suppose that is why I fight so hard to help the children now living in orphanages (孤儿院). Most children come out of these institutions with a very hard and bitter attitude against the world. The gifts we send them let them know that they have not been forgotten. Hopefully, most of them will never hurt anyone because of the kindness shown to them by those of us who cared. If it works, we will also become "heroes".
1.The main idea of the passage is _______________.
A. why the writer should be a hero
B. whether the writer is a hero
C. what a hero exactly is
D. that everyone is a hero
2.Why did the woman call the writer a hero at the end of the call?
A. Because he was cute and kind to everybody
B. Because he saved a family from a burning car.
C. Because he asked her son not to kill himself.
D. Because his story saved her son’s life.
3.What does the underlined word “it” in the last sentence of Paragraph 5 refer to?
A. The wonderful card the writer received.
B. The action of sending the card.
C. The fact that the sender helped the writer.
D. The fact that the sender was a friend of the writer.
4.According to the writer, who can be considered as a hero?
A. A person who helps someone in trouble.
B. A person who writes wonderful stories.
C. A person who can hold a door for others.
D. A person who is brave.

Last Tuesday, pizza delivery driver Chris Turner received a phone call from a customer who wanted him to deliver a pizza to a small cabin in the Tennessee mountains, 30 miles away from his shop. Normally, Turner wouldn’t have made a delivery so far from his normal route, but for some reason, he decided to make an exception.
It’s a good thing Turner made that trip. Though he may have hoped for a good tip, he got something much better: the opportunity to save a woman’s life.
When Turner showed up at the cabin, a man came to the door and paid for his purchase by credit card. When the man was looking down to sign his receipt, Turner noticed something very strange. Turner saw “a young lady pop over the back of the couch with her hands bound together”. She “was mouthing to me ‘please call 9-1-1’, quite a few times”, he recalled.
Turner played it cool while completing the delivery, and smilingly told the man to have a nice day. As soon as he was away from the house, he called the police from his cell phone.
Thanks to Turner’s quick work, the police were able to rescue the kidnapped woman and arrest the criminal. “She was just thanking me for trusting her,” Turner said in an interview. “She said he was going to kill her.”
We’re betting that if he gets another out-of-the-way delivery request, he won’t hesitate to make the trip. What’s a little bit of extra distance when you might be saving a life?
1.Which of the following would be the best title of this passage?
A. Chris Turner, a helpful delivery driver
B. Home safety, a life-and-death matter
C. Kidnapped woman rescued by a pizza delivery
D. Cruel man caught by the police
2.According to the first paragraph, Chris Turner _______.
A. received a phone call for help
B. seldom made remote deliveries
C. was good at making pizza
D. first entered the mountain area
3.By giving a sign, the young woman asked Turner to _______.
A. loosen her hands B. fight that man
C. take her away D. call the police
4.It can be inferred from the passage that _______.
A. to get a big tip, Turner delivered the pizza to the cabin
B. the criminal robbed the woman of her credit card
C. without Turner’s appearance, the woman may have died
D. Turner is a person who is always ready to help others
5.According to the passage we can know that Turner is _______.
A. brave and calm B. hardworking and diligent
C. shy and helpful D. kind and generous

Amazon. com has received a patent(专利) right to send its products to customers by drone planes. The company is the largest US-based online seller of products by mail and other services. Now, the company has received a patent for its planned drone delivery system.
In March, federal officials allowed Amazon to test its drone delivery plan. But even with a patent and the ability of drones to make deliveries, it does not appear the company will put its new delivery system in place any time soon.
The US Patent Office published the document, which describes Amazon’s plans to use GPS to deliver products to homes and to wherever people are. The drone will use a customer’s mobile device --- usually a smartphone ---to avoid hitting people or buildings and to find a secure area to land. The company wants to deliver products within 30 minutes after people order them on its website.
However, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is worried about the safety. Although it allowed Amazon to test the system, the agency said the operators must be able to see the planes. That greatly limits the delivery area.
Loretta Alkalay is a professor at the Vaughn College of Aeronautics and Technology in New York. Although Amazon is not yet offering drone delivery, Professor Alkalay says it will not be long before it does. She says there are worries that the drones will hit buildings or people, or that the products and drones will be stolen or damaged by people on purpose. But she says that is because many people believe the drones would only deliver the products to the front door of a house. “However, it is possible that homes will one day have special area on their roofs designed to receive product deliveries,” she adds.
1.What is special about the new delivery system?
A. It can deliver heavy products by plane.
B. It uses planes without human operators.
C. It can delivery many products at a time.
D. It is much safer than other delivery ways.
2.The underlined word “secure” in Paragraph 3 means “__________”.
A. safe B. large C. special D. empty
3.After reading the passage, we can infer that FAA__________
A. doesn’t really like Amazon
B. totally support the drone delivery system
C. doesn’t think Amazon should get the patent
D. doubts about the drone delivery system

With self-driving vehicle technology rapidly advancing, many companies are turning to autonomous robots for the final leg of the delivery process, from the store or local distribution center to the customer. The latest to join the trend is e-commerce giant Amazon. Following a successful eight-month test run in Snohomish County, Washington, the company’s Scout robots have been making the rounds of Irvine, California, since August 6, 2019.
The six-wheeled Scout is about the size of a large cooler with the capacity to carry small or medium-sized packages. The battery-powered vehicle, which moves at a regular walking pace, has been programmed to avoid pedestrians, animals, and unexpected obstacles, such as garbage cans. Its powerful sensors can also detect the movement of a car backing out of a driveway.
To accelerate Scout’s development and bring it nationwide sooner, the company has created several detailed virtual maps of American suburbs and conducted trial deliveries to homes there.
Though Amazon has not shown how Scout ensures the delivery is picked up by the right person, it most likely requires the customers to apply a unique code, texted to them prior to the delivery, to unlock the store box. Also unclear is the number of deliveries Scout can complete before its battery needs to be recharged. Though the initial tests are being conducted with a human for company, the robot will be autonomous in the future. Its location, however, will be tracked at all times—if someone attempts to steal Scout, Amazon employees will be instantly sensed.
However, the eco-friendly robots are unable to climb stairs or open gates, which means that they can only reach consumers who live on the ground level. Additionally, the robots are unable to leave packages at the front door if the customers are not home. Whether these problems get resolved remains to be seen. For now, it appears that humans will still be needed to achieve the ever-growing demand for home and office deliveries.
1.Which of the following descriptions about Scout is right?
A.They can be powered themselves. B.They are strong enough to carry big things.
C.They can run with their six wheels. D.They can avoid obstacles ahead.
2.What about Scout is still confusing to common people?
A.How many deliveries it can do on a full charge. B.Whether it can climb stairs or open gates.
C.How it recognizes the right owner of the things. D.How long it will take to get it fully charged.
3.What does the underlined phrase “prior to” in paragraph 4 mean?
A.due to B.after C.in front of D.before
4.What is the author’s opinion about delivery robots according to the last paragraph?
A.They are not easily available. B.They have some limitations.
C.They will replace humans soon. D.They won’t be well accepted.
