Johnstown, Pennsylvania, where I lived, had experienced heavy snow for

11、 months before the Irish holiday. In early March, the weather warmed and some of the heavy snow started to melt. Worse, it also started to rain.

12、s a small river. When I got there, water was already over the rivers bridge. Afraid and drenched, I ran as fast as I could. My father and mother were home with my two younger sisters. We had no electricity or gas. The lines were underwater. We couldnt make a fire .Early on St. Patricks Day, it was r

13、ainy and warm. That afternoon, a policeman drove a fire truck by our houses and shouted, “Run to the hills! The dam might break.” Our father told us to get our coats and get into the car. Many of our neighbors traveled by car, but some walked. Johnstown had built an incline , an elevated railroad ca

14、r , many years ago to take people to high ground. Everyone was in a hurry.At daybreak, we returned to the home. The dam did not break. Water filled the streets but not the houses in our neighborhood since we lived in the higher part of town. According to reports, water rose to 17 feet in the center

15、of Johnstown, and all sorts of things from vehicles to houses were swept away. By the next day, the rain had stopped and the sun was out. Of course, the offer of help came as well.21.

18、elp D. had their car swept away BTeen drivers, be careful: Mum and Dad will soon know exactly how fast and how far you drove their car. And if you dont use the seat belt, dont even think about turning on the stereo, which allows you to listen to the music in your car. At the 2015 New Year Internatio

19、nal Auto Show, American car maker Chevrolet gives your parents the power to check on your driving. The “Teen Driver” feature（特征）appears with the 2016 Chevrolet Malibu, a new type of mid-size car. The system is very user-friendly. Parents with a private code（密码）can pull up a dashboard（仪表板）display, in

20、cluding highest speeds reached and distance driven. Chevrolet isnt the first car maker to offer such technology. For example, Ford has a similar system called MyKey. But “ the industry is moving toward highly developed controls over a teens driving,” said Andy Gryc, a car technology expert. Chevrole

21、t said it is a safety need. “Teens are more likely to be involved in a car accident, so many parents were asking us to bring something to market that can teach safe driving habits,” said Chevrolet communications manager Chad Lyons. Teens are three times more likely to die in traffic accidents than g

22、rown-ups, according to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS). Lyons thinks that a big problem is distracted（注意力分散）driving, such as texting or listening to music. Teens with their friends in the car like to listen to loud music . “If the driver and the front passenger arent wearing their

23、seat belts , the stereo wont turn on,” said Lyons. “Parents can also control the level of sound.” If a teen driver goes beyond a certain speed, the car can speak to the driver, warning them of their speed. “Its a way for parents to feel safe while theyre not in the car with their teen,” Lyons said.

A new type of fast-speed car.CIt is only praise or punishment that determines a childs level of confidence. There are some other

26、important ways we shape our kids-particularly by giving instructions and commands in a negative or positive choice of words. For example, we can say to a child “Dont run into traffic!” or “Stay on the footpath close to me.” In using the latter, you will be helping your kids to think and act positive

27、ly, and to feel competent in a wide range of situations, because they know what to do, and arent scaring themselves about what not to do.Why does such a small thing make a difference? It is all in the way the human mind works. What we think, we automatically rehearse (预演). For example, if someone of

28、fered you a million dollars not to think of a blue monkey for two minutes, you wouldnt be able to do it. When a child is told “Dont fall off the tree,” he will think of two things: “dont” and “fall off the tree”. That is, he will automatically create the picture of falling off the tree in his mind.

29、A child who is vividly imagining falling off the tree is much more likely to fall off. So it is far better to use “Hold on to the tree carefully.”Clear, positive instructions help kids to understand the right way to do things. Kids do not always know how to be safe, or how to react to the warni

30、ng of the danger in negative words. So parents should make their commands positive. “Sam, hold on firm to the side of the boat” is much more useful than “Dont you dare to fall out of the boat?” or worse still “How do you think Ill feel if you drown?” The changes are small but the difference is obvio

31、us.Children learn how to guide and organize themselves from the way we guide them with our words, so it pays to be positive.28. Positive choice of words helps kids to _.A. do things carefully       B. build up their confidenceC. improve their imagination    &#

33、s kids to be safe?A. Fasten your seat belt.B. Dont play by the lake.C. How do you think Ill feel if you get hurt?D. Dont you dare to walk through the red light?31. The main idea of the passage is that _.A. praise makes kids confident     B. right instructions keep kids safeC. clear co

34、mmands make kids different  D. choice of words can make a differenceDIn todays consumer world, weve never had so much, yet it seems weve never been so unsatisfied. The cost of housing has been rising for decades, and the cost to the planet has been huge, too. But there is a way to live a simple

37、ng number of people began to live in very small homes. They wanted to reduce their possessions, living space, and energy costs, so as to lead more ecologically-friendly lives. But the small-living movement really took off after the economic crisis of 2008, when many people realized that they co
