As I was getting my wheelchair off the back, a man watched me from his car and I noticed a wheelchair in his back seat. We spoke for a moment and I asked him about the wheelchair. He answered that it was for his daughter. “Well, do you think she would like to go for a ride on my motorbike with me?” I asked. He seemed shocked that a total stranger would ask him this. He thought about it for a second and said, “OK, as long as I can follow you.” He introduced me to Amy and he sat her on my back seat. Her father followed me for a few miles and she talked non-stop about what she wanted for Christmas.As we came back to the convenience store, she said, “This ride is the best Christmas present I could ever receive. I have been in a wheelchair my whole life and didnt know I could do this.” I told her about some of the other things I do (ski, travel the world by myself, etc.). As her father was taking her off my bike, she turned to him and said, “Oh Daddy, Im going to be OK. Mr. Bryant does all kinds of things, and I will too.” Her father turned away as a tear of joy rolled down his cheek. He hugged me and said, “I was sitting here praying for a gift for Amy that would encourage her. She often felt that her life was dull compared to other children. God answered my prayer just now. Now I pray that God will bless you for your gift to Amy today.” I believed what he said. Being kind and thoughtful to others, we can be an answer to prayer.35.

We hope the excitement will continue，”said NK. Coyal, president of consultant group of Communications and Manufacturing Association of India.But if India is the worlds fastestgrowing mobile phone market with nearly 300 million subscribers, only 11 million people in the country have access to the Internet.While developed markets like South Korea and Singapore are among the worlds top 10 economies for household broadband access, most of the low and lowermiddleincome economies in the Asia Pacific region have limited and costly access to the Internet. Developing countries in Asia should speed up plans to develop highspeed broadband Internet access, incuding making spectrum available and creating investment incentives(刺激)To serve growing demand for mobile data services, which is driven by things like smart phones and embedded laptops, operators are focusing on new ways to improve valueadded services.Wang Jianzhou, chairman and CEO of China Mobile, said his company was banking on the development of newgeneration wireless technologies such as LongTerm Evolution(LTE), which promises to speed up everything from mobile video sharing to music downloads. Over a third of China Mobile users use their handsets to listen to music, much higher than in the United States, Britain, France and Germany.“Surely it is Asian operators who will be among the first to use the technological potential of ITE, translating it into realworld services, revenues(收入，税收)and customer numbers，”said Toure.39According to the report of ITU, in Asia_.Athere is the largest number of users of the InternetBmost inhabitants have access to the highspeed InterntCChina and India are in great need of phones rather than file InternetDthere is a growth in the cellphone in Asia and India40The peculiar character of LongTerm Evolution is_.Aadvanced Bcheap Chighspeed Dconvenient41From the last paragraph, we can infer_.Athe technology of LTE is mainly used in the field of translatingBthe technology of LTE is just potential in realityCthe use of LTE will bring Asian operators more profitsDAsia will lead in the application of technology42The main idea of the passage is_.AAsia leads mobile and the Internet growth but falls behind the US and EuropeBAsia is in the lead in the field of modern technologyCAsia is greatly behind western countries in technologyDAsia leaves Europe countries behind in advanced technologyDWithout most people realizing it, there has been revolution in office work over the last ten years. Before that time, large computers were only used by large rich companies that could afford the investment. With the advancement of technology, small computers have come onto the market which are capable of doing the work which used to be done by much larger and expensive computers, so now most smaller companies can use them. The main development in small computers has been in the field of word processor system, or WPS as they are often called. 40% of British offices are now estimated to have a word processor and this percentage is growing fast. There are many advantages in using a word processor for both secretary and manager. The secretary is freed from a lot of daily work, such as retyping letters and storing papers. He or she can use this time to do other more interesting work for the boss. From a managers point of view, secretarial time is being made better use of and money can be saved by doing daily jobs automatically outside office hours. But is it all good? If a lot of daily secretarial work can be done automatically, surely this will mean that fewer secretaries will be needed. Another worry is the increasing medical problems related to work with visual display units (显示器). The unease of a slow loss of sight among people using word processors seems to have risen greatly. It is also feared that if a woman works at a VDU for long hours, the unborn child in her body might be killed. Safety screens to put over a VDU have been invented but few companies in England bother to buy them. Whatever the arguments for and against word processors, they are a key feature of this revolution in office practice. 43. Ten years ago, large computers were only used by large companies because _. A. small companies did not have enough money to buy such expensive computersB. large computers could not do the work that small companies can do todayC. large computers did not come onto the marketD. small companies did not need to use this new technology 44. According to the writer, the main progress made in office work over the last ten years is _.A. the saving of time and money B. the use of computers in big companiesC. the wide use of word processors D. the decreasing number of secretaries 45 We can infer from the passage that with the use of word processors, _.A. some secretaries will lose their jobsB. all jobs can be done automatically outside office hoursC. medical problems related to work with a VDU must have increasedD. the British companies will make less money 46. Which of the following statements is NOT true?A. There are both advantages and disadvantages in using a word processor.B. The British companies care much for the health of the people using word processors. C. The technology in the field of computers has been greatly advanced over the last ten years. D. Using word processors, secretaries can get more time to do more interesting work for their bosses. EMonitoring the mood of a pet dog could be used as an early warning sign that an elderly owner is struggling to cope, a new report has claimed.Researchers placed movement sensors (探测器) on dogs to track their behaviour and identified 17 distinct activities, including chewing, barking, sitting and digging.This allowed them to map the normal behaviour of a healthy, happy dog, which means any changes can be monitored and could indicate an issue with their owner.Nils Hammerla, part of the team from Newcastle University, said, “Humans and dogs have lived together in close relationships for thousands of years, which has led to strong emotional and social mutual bonds.”“A dogs physical and emotional dependence on their owner means that their well-being is likely to reflect that of their owner. Any changes such as the dog being walked less often, perhaps not being fed regularly, or simply demonstrating “unhappy” behaviour could be an early indicator for families that an older relative needs help. This is the first system of its kind which allows us to remotely monitor a dogs behaviour in its natural setting.” The team of academics, who presented their findings at the 2013 UbiComp conference in Zurich, created a hi-tech, waterproof (防水的) dog collar for the study.Dr Cas Ladha, who led the study, said: “A lot of our research is focused on developing intelligent systems that can help older people to live independently for longer. But developing a system that reassures family and carers that an older relative is well without intruding on (侵犯) the individuals privacy is difficult. This is just the first step but the idea behind this research is that it would allow us to support people without the need for cameras.”A range of dogs was used for the study, as the team needed to map distinct behaviours that correlated between different breeds.47. From the text, we know that Nils Hammerla _.A. led the study and identified 17 activities of dogs B. thinks some activities of dogs can reflect senior owners healthC. studied the relationship between humans and animalsD. developed a hi-tech, waterproof dog collar48 The underlined word “reassure” in Paragraph 7 probably means _.A. protect B. comfort C.warn D.recognize49. Which of the following is an advantage of the intelligent system mentioned in the text?A. It can indicate that people arent well. B. It can identify different activities of dogs.C. It monitors an elderly owner without disturbing his privacy.D. It lets people see the dogs behavior clearly.50. Which of the following could be the best title for the text?A. Dogs mood can be an indicator of owners healthB. Strong bonds between dogs and their senior ownersC. Signs that your older relative needs help D.
