We often hear stories of animals rescuing people.But now someone has managed to return the favor.
The event took place one snowy January morning.Thomas Smith was walking his dog,Jack,in the park."As I was walking,I just saw Jack running onto the ice towards the ducks in the middle,and then he fell into the water and couldn't climb out,"said Smith.He realized he had no choice but to try and save his dog."someone else told me the lake was only one﹣meter deep,but it was at least twice that.I had to break my way through the 6﹣cm ice.Finally,I got Jack by the neck,and pulled him out.I don't think I have ever felt so cold by the time we got back to dry land.And when we got there,everyone was asking if Jack was okay﹣﹣﹣﹣﹣﹣no one was particularly worried,about me!"
A neighbor,Julie Brown,saw it all happen."The dog went onto an icy lake.All of a sudden,it started to go under.There were crowds of people around,and they were all shouting and screaming.Before I knew it,the owner Smith was in the water forcing his way through the ice.I can't begin to imagine how cold it was.Everyone was very nervous,but he was as cool as a cucumber﹣﹣﹣﹣﹣he just crawled back out,put the dog on its lead,and went home."
Many regard him as a hero,but Mr.Smith is quite laid﹣back about it."Most dog owners are the same as me.They would do what I did without a second thought.But in the future,I'm going to make sure he's on lead near any ice ponds,Pets are members of our family.Would you do the same for them?

All over the world the need for more laptops and computers increases each year.Networks have been part of our life.Probably everyone with a portable device (移动设备)has once logged on to a public WiFi network without paying for it,while they are having a coffee,on a train,in a shopping mall or at a hotel.However,is this kind of public WiFi network safe?
Some networks are better protected than others because encryption (加密)methods are used.Therefore,they are safer than others.But a survey in 2015 showed that more than 950 million records were not protected,including addresses,emails,birth dates,phone numbers,passwords and so on.These open WiFi networks are really not safe,because it is very easy for hackers (黑客) to break into the operating system and get people's private information.
Most smartphones and laptops,by themselves,search and connect to WiFi networks.They usually prefer a network with a connection that has been used before.Hackers'devices are able to record these searches and look like the trusted WiFi networks.When these smartphones and laptops log on to the networks which are not real,hackers can easily steal their private information.
So next time,when we want to use our laptops or our smartphones in public places which offer free WiFi networks,please think it twice or take safe measures before using them.
42.Why do people like to go log on to a public WiFi network?
A.Because it can provide useful information.
B.Because the owner of the network is polite.
C.Because it is free.
D.Because it is safe.
43.We can learn from the passage that
A.not all the public WiFi networks are safe
B.none of the public WiFi networks is safe
C.in 2015more than 950million records were protected
D.there is no way to protect our private information
44.Hackers would probably get the following EXCEPT when we connect our laptops or smartphones to a public WiFi network.
A.our birth dates
B.our passwords
C.our phone numbers
D.our smartphones
45.Which of the following can be the best title of this passage?
A.Don't Use Public WiFi Networks
B.Why the Public WiFi Networks a Possible Danger
C.We Needn't Protect Our Private Information
D.Why Hackers Break into the Operating System.
In the past, I thought I was terrible at many things, such as math, French and science. Although I was good at drawing, I wasn't the best in my art class.I wanted to find out who I was,what I liked and how I could do it better.So, that winter,I took a notebook and kept my diary. When I filled that notebook,I started another one, and then another.
Keeping a diary helps a lot. Studies have shown that people who keep a diary sleep and feel better. It helps people remember what once happened such as dreams, friendships and happiness. Writing about bad feelings can also help brains get over themand move on. Personally, I learn better about myself and my relationships with others by keeping a diary.For example,when I am fighting with my dad, I'll try writing from his point and it works! If I want to compare myself with my classmates.I'll write something like,"I might not have clear skin, but I like my eyes."
Right about now, you might be thinking: it sounds great, but I'm not a good writer; or I'd love to keep a diary, but my handwriting is terrible. Don't worry! Keeping a diary is not like doing your homework ﹣there are no rules, so do whatever feels best.

Students at a primary school in Fuzhou,Hast China's Fujian Province were required to clean the school toilets to help them develop good habits.But some parents are strongly against the idea.They can't see the advantages of students doing such chores (杂亊).They think that the school should provide students with a proper education,not the chance to be school cleaners.
In fact,parents,schools and society play an equally (同等地)important role in developing the character of students.It is good for schools to give students such tasks,because few of the students will do them at home.Their parents want them to do homework only.
In recent years,some parents will make mountains out of molehills when students are asked to do some chores in schools.Some complain about the teachers if their kids get hurt in schools; some even challenge the schools'teaching methods and management.As a result,many primary schools,especially those in big cities,do not let students join in outdoor activities during breaks,fearing that they might get hurt.This is bad for the development of students'best qualities.

Let me tell you about a young boy who made a model car all on his own.The boy is me,six years ago when I was just 11.The car was small and simple,but in my imagination it was a high﹣speed racing car,speeding along the race road.
It was during the school summer holidays and workmen were building a new driveway and garage(车库) beside our house.It meant to add something new to our home.When I watched the workman,I came up with an idea﹣﹣﹣I would build a car to drive into the garage in celebration of it.I told my mother and began with my plans.But I couldn't find the right things for making the car,so I gave up and sadly spent several days doing nothing.My mother noticed that I had stopped working and asked me why.I explained and she suggested that maybe I should change my plan to fit the things I had,rather than give up.
And that's just what I did.I found small pieces of wood in my father's workshop and made my car from anything that was lying around the house.When I found a small engine(发动机) from one of my old model planes,I added that.The power came from a battery(电池) I found in a box.
By the time the garage was finished,so was my car.I called my family together outside the house,started the engine and put the car on the driveway.It was fast,and I had to run to the garage to prevent it from hitting the new door.My family began to cheer and I smiled proudly.Thanks to my mother I learned the value of continuing to do things,especially something difficult.Soon I was making plans for my next project:a robot!
