Mrs．Jones was over eighty，but she still drove her old car like a young woman．She loved driving very fast，and she said that she had never been punished for a driving offence（违章）．
Then one day，she nearly lost her record．A police car followed her，and the policeman in it saw her pass a red light without stopping．
When Mrs．Jones came before the policeman，he looked at her seriously and said that she was too old to drive a car，and that her eyes had probably become weak with old age，so she had not stopped at the red light．
After the policeman finished his words．Mrs．Jones，without saying a word，opened the big handbag she was carrying and took out her sawing （针线活）．She chose a needle（针）with a very small eye，and threaded（穿线）it at her first try．
When she had successfully done this，she took the thread out of the needle again and handed tooth the needle and the thread to the policeman，saying．"Now it is your turn．You drive a car and you must see clearly．"
The policeman took the needle and tried to thread it．After trying for six times，he still didn't succeed，so Mrs．Jones wasn't punished．Her record remained unbroken．

It is reported that some developed countries have shipped broken parts of computers to China．Last month Hong Kong officers found 131，000kilograms of broken computers，TVs and phones sent from Japan．
Things like these are called electronic waste，or e﹣waste．Dealing with them is not an easy job．Every time an old computer breaks down，it needs to be dealt with safely．What is worse，at present，broken computer parts are usually buried ．It may be hundreds of years before they are really gone in the earth．
Many places in China are polluted by e﹣waste．Guiyu in Guangdong Province is one of them．This town is named as"the e﹣waste capital of the world"．It has to deal with 1.5million kilograms of e﹣waste each year，from which it makes 75million yuan．But it comes at a cost．Many of the poisons in e﹣waste find their way into the environment．An environmental group has found the air，the earth and the rivers in Guiyu badly polluted．
Luckily，the Chinese government wants to change the situation．This year，China passed a new environmental protection law．Computer companies like Lenovo and Dell will be asked to take back their old computers．Hopefully，the problem with e﹣waste will be solved in the near future．

The government in China plans to end its one﹣child policy （政策） and let families have two children instead．The plan was meant to balance （平衡） population development and stop a falling birth rate （出生率）．
China started the one﹣child policy in the 1980s．But the government allowed only a small number of couples to have two children．For example，some families in the countryside could have two children，if the first﹣born child is a girl．In 2013，the Chinese government gave other couples a chance to have two children if one of them was an only child．
Jiang Quanbao，a population expert，explained how Chinese families react to the newest policy．"Lots of young people in the cities are no longer interested in having a second child，"he said．
At the end of 2014，China had a population of 1.37billion people．But the labor market population will drop in 35years．That is to say，the country will be in great need of labor by the year 2050．With the"two children"policy，an increase in births can solve this problem．

③．Some families in the countryside could have two children．
④．Families could have two children if one parent was an only child．
A．③④②①B．②①④③C．④③②①D．③①④②
70．What may happen after we have the"two children"policy？
A．There will be more old people．
B．The labor market population will drop．
C．Almost every family will have a second child．
D．The population development will be balanced．

In the USA，it is normal for men to shake hands when they meet，but it is quite unusual for men to kiss when they greet each other．Greetings are casual﹣a handshake，a smile and a"hello"will do just fine．
The British often simply say"hello"when they meet friends．They usually shake hands only when they meet for the first time．Social kissing，often just a peck （轻吻） on the cheek （脸颊），is common in an informal （非正式的） situation between men and women and also between women who know each other very well．
In Japan，the common greeting for both men and women is to bow when they greet someone，instead of giving a handshake or a hug．

I'm David．Long ago I came to the city near my hometown to find a job．I met all kinds of
difficulties and I used up all my money soon．
It was dark outside one day．I got on a bus quietly．Suddenly，a passenger cries in a loud voice，
﹣Someone has stolen my money!I felt nervous，because his money was in my hand．Some people suggested the driver drive the bus to the police station，but some were against it because they were in a hurry to go back home．The whole bus was very noisy．The driver then stopped the bus by the roadside and turned on the lights．At that time，one passenger said，﹣Turn off the lights and give the thief （小偷） a chance to take out the money．‖Then the bus got dark．When I was still thinking about whether to take out the money or not，the lights were turned off again．I became even more nervous．The lights were turned on again but they got the same result．Then the passengers fell into an open discussion．Later，someone said﹣give him the last chance!‖I felt awakened （醒悟的） and took out all the money when the lights were turned off again．
For many years I have been grateful to those who gave me three chances．When the first and second chances come，you may not be prepared well or don't have enough courage to act．When the third chance comes，you should know clearly what you should do．

While the start of a new school year is always exciting， this year was even more so for some students at White Cloud Primary School． They became the world's first kids to be taught by an electronic teacher． This electronic teacher is not a human﹣like robot walking around the classroom Instead， he is a computer﹣created head that appears， when needed， on students computer or phone screens． His name is Bill．
Created by technology company Smart Machines， Bill is able to show human﹣like behavior． He is designed to teach a special program about environmental﹣friendly power created by the sun and wind． This program， started in 2005， used to be taught by human teachers．
Just like human teachers， Bill is able to immediately respond to the students' questions and opinions about the topic． Thanks to computer cameras， he is also able to see and react to students physical actions． For example， if a student smiles at Bill， he responds by smiling back． This two﹣way exchange helps get the students' attention． More importantly， it allows the program developers to improve Bills behavior and knowledge base when needed．
The program has been a great success， according to Smart Machines spokesman Robert Frost Frost says， "What is interesting to me is the children's reaction to Bill． He really captures their attention． "Frost thinks kids don't find the experience of being taught by smart machines as strange as older people because they have grown up in a time of computers and smart phones．
It is doubtful， however， that human educators will lose their jobs to Bill any time soon． For one，his talking head's knowledge base is not large． More importantly， even the smartest computer programs can't guess and react to all the unexpected situations that educators face daily． Bills future might be as a"personal tutor"， providing kids with one﹣on﹣one help for different subjects and topics．
（1）What is Bill？
A． A human﹣like robot
B． A kind of computer game
C． A computer recording tool
D， A computer﹣created talking head
（2）How does the two﹣way exchange help the program developers？
A． It lets them correct students'mistakes
B． It allows Bill to respond more quickly
C． It helps them know how to improve Bill
D． It helps them study students' body language
（3）The underlined word "they"in Paragraph 4 refers to ．
A． kids
B． older people
C． smart machines
D． program developers
（4）What is Bill NOT good at doing？
A． Attracting students' attention
B．Understanding body language
C． Responding to students' questions
D． Dealing with unexpected situations
（5）How might Bill be used in the future according to the last paragraph？
A． To work as human classroom teachers
B． To encourage students' interest in computers
C． To give students personal help with different subjects
D．To watch over the behavior of the students in the classroom
