When Julio Diaz stepped off the subway after work one night, he was simply planning to go to his favorite local diner for a meal. But when a teenage boy approached him with a knife, Diaz knew the evening was about to take a more dramatic(巨大而突然的) turn.
The young man demanded Diaz’s wallet, and Diaz passed it over without objection(异议). But just as he turned to walk away, Diaz called, “Hey, wait a minute. You forgot something.”
The young man turned around, surprised.
“If you’re going to rob people for the rest of the night, you might as well take my coat to keep warm.”
The teenager looked at Diaz in disbelief, and asked why he would do such a thing. Diaz replied, “If you’re willing to risk your freedom for a few dollars, I guess you must really need the money.”He said he was heading out for dinner, and that he would be happy to take someone with him.
The young man decided to take Diaz up on his offer. As they were sitting at the table, the manager, dishwashers and waiters all stopped over to say hello to Diaz, and the young man was amazed at his popularity.
“Haven’t you been taught that you should be nice to everybody?”Diaz asked him.
“Yeah, but I didn’t think people actually behaved that way,” the teenager replied. Thanks to Diaz, he was beginning to see that kindness wasn’t so strange, after all.
When the bill came, Diaz told the teen that he’d have to get the check. After all, he still had Diaz’s wallet.
But the teenager put the wallet on the table without a moment’s thought, and Diaz treated him to dinner. Diaz also gave the would-be robber a $20 bill — in exchange for his knife. “I figure, you know, if you treat people right, you can only hope that they treat you right,” Diaz said.
1.When a teenage boy approached him with a knife, Diaz was on his way ________.
A. to the subway station. B. to his workplace.
C. to have a meal. D. to see a drama.
2.The young man felt surprised when Diaz ________.

D. invited him to have dinner together
3.The underlined part “take Diaz up on”can be replaced by “________”.

4.The teenager gave the wallet back to Diaz maybe because _________.
A. Diaz was so popular with people in the restaurant
B. he began to realize people should be nice to others
C. Diaz had to pay for the meal they had together
D. he had been given a $20 bill to take with him

When you think of all the ways your body can get hurt---falling off a bike, stepping on a nail, being bitten by a crazed dog---the aches and pains that come from sitting at a computer may not seem like much.
But more doctors are getting worried about just that. If you sit at a PC the wrong way, the nerves and muscles in your back, neck and arms can get out of line.
Ergonomics is the study of how people work and how jobs and equipment can be designed so that people are safer and more comfortable in the things they do---whether that’s working on a factory assembly line or sitting in front of a computer.
The monitor
You should not have to tilt(倾斜) your neck up or down to lock at the screen. Your eyes should be level with the top of the screen.
How far away should you sit? Reach your arm out so your fingertips just touch the screen.
The keyboard
It should be directly in front of you. Don’t unfold the legs on the bottom of the keyboard so that it tilts up toward you---it should be as flat as possible, or even tilted away from you. You want your wrists “neutral,” which means straight, not bent. This puts less strain on your nerves and muscles.
Arms should be close to the body. Don’t look at your fingers as you type. Use a document holder to hold papers at the same level as the monitor. Keep the mouse on the same level as the keyboard and close by--- so you don’t have to reach for it.
The chair
Your feet shouldn’t dangle---the blood will pool in your feet. They should rest flat on the floor, or on phone books, if necessary. Your back needs support. Roll up a towel and stick it there.
The Body
If you think of your body as a collection of right angles when you sit at a computer, you should be just fine.
Your hips should be at a 90-degree angle to your back. That takes the pressure off the spine. And your knees should bend at a 90 degree angle so your feet are flat.
1.The passage mainly talks about________.
A.avoiding pains caused by using PC B.the science of ergonomics
C.illness caused by a computer D.how to keep fit
2.The underlined word “ergonomics” most probably means ______ in Chinese.
A.管理学 B.人机工程学 C.机械工程学 D.经济学
3.How high should a monitor be placed according to the passage?
A.As high as your arms.
B.A little higher than your eyes.
C.A little lower than your eyes.
D.At the same level as your eyes.
4.How shouldn’t a keyboard be placed?
A.Tilting away from you. B.Tilting up toward you.
C.Flat. D.Not mentioned.
5.How should you place your foot?
A.Rest them on a phone book. B.Rest them on the floor.
C.They should rest flat. D.They should dangle.

One day, when I was working as a psychologist(心理学家)in England, an adolescent boy showed up in my office. It was David. He kept walking up and down restlessly, his face pale, and his hands shaking slightly. His head teacher had referred him to me. “This boy has lost his family,” he wrote. “He is understandably very sad and refuses to talk to others, and I’m very worried about him. Can you help?”
I looked at David and showed him to a chair. How could I help him? There are problems psychology doesn’t have the answer to, and which no words can describe. Sometimes the best thing one can do is to listen openly and sympathetically(同情)
The first two times we met, David didn’t say a word. He sat there, only looking up to look at the children’s drawings on the wall behind me. I suggested we play a game of chess. He nodded. After that he played chess with me every Wednesday afternoon---in complete silence and without looking at me. It’s not easy to cheat in chess, but I admit I made sure David won once or twice.
Usually, he arrived earlier than agreed, took the chess board and pieces from the shelf and began setting them up before I even got a chance to sit down. It seemed as if he enjoyed my company(陪伴). But why did he never look at me?
“Perhaps he simply needs someone to share his pain with,” I thought. “Perhaps he senses that I respect his suffering.” Some months later, when we were playing chess, he looked up at me suddenly.
“It’s your tum,” he said.
After that day, David started talking. He got friends in school and joined a bicycle club. He wrote to me a few times, about his biking with some friends, and about his plan to get into university. Now he had really started to live his own life.
Maybe I gave David something. But I also learned that one…without any words---can reach out to another person. All it takes is a hug, a shoulder to cry on, a friendly touch, and an ear that listens.
1.When he first met the author, David .
A. felt a little excited
B. looked a little nervous
C. walked energetically
D. showed up with his teacher
2.David enjoyed being with the author because he .
A. wanted to ask the author for advice
B. liked the children’s drawings in the office
C. beat the author many times in the chess game
D. needed to share sorrow with the author
3.What can be inferred about David?
A. He liked biking before he lost his family.
B. He recovered after months of treatment.
C. He went into university soon after starting to talk.
D. He got friends in school before he met the author.
4.What made David change?
A. The author’s silent communication with him.
B. His teacher’s help.
C. The author’s friendship.
D. His exchange of letters with the author.
