many memories that shape who i am today. one from 1996 or 1997, when i was a girl, stands out above the rest. we had to gather a couple hundred head of steers (小公牛) on the farm, so dad and i rode on the horses and away we went. our plan was to sweep around the farm, collecting cattle along the way. then we would push them through the corner gate, which led them through the lower pens (畜栏), uphill through a path and into the upper pens. we circled the farm, picking up a steer here and a couple more there. noticing a thunderstorm coming up through the valley, we tried to move a little faster. but our cattle hated the corner gate. if you pushed them too hard they would run around; if you didnt push them hard enough they would stand there all day. you had to do it just right. i decided to push a little harder, and the lead steer headed toward the gate. i applied a little more pressure, but it was too much. the head steer jumped back, scaring the rest. the steers ran in all directions in an instant.i could tell that my father was none too happy, but with the storm about to cut loose, he ordered our retreat. “well get them later,” he yelled. we took off, but the farther we went, the worse i felt. so, i turned back, determined to sweep the steers once more. the thunder boomed louder and my heart raced faster as i picked them up along the way. i tried my best to ignore the weather. i dont really know when it stopped raining, but by the time i got the steers into the upper pens, the sun had come out and dad was standing at the gate with a big smile on his face. he didnt give me a pat on the back or say anything special but the smile was enough.24. the author is deeply affected by _. a. her animal friendsb. her school education c. her hardworking father d. her childhood

wrestlers overturning gender stereotypes（性别陈规） has become the highest-grossing indian film ever in china. it is a story of female empowerment.dangal is not your typical song-and-dance heavy bollywood romance. starring hugely popular aamir khan, it tells the story of indian wrestler and coach mahavir singh phogat who trained his daughters to become wrestlers defying（违反）social norms.the real-life family is from conservative haryana state, known for the high prevalence of social issues such as gender inequality and child marriage. and the family faced great adversity（困境）to realise his wrestling dream.one of his daughters geetaphogat went on to win indias first ever gold medal in wrestling at the commonwealth games in 2010 and became the first indian female wrestler to qualify for the olympic

khans previous films have also been hugely popular in china. his 2009 release, 3 idiots, was a hit in the country and industry watchers called it the film that broke chinas great bollywood wall. khan

since the early 1990s, but recent developments have seen ar put into the hands of almost anyone with a smartphone.using special software, ar allows users to see virtual objects in the real world. hit

special cameras and sensors (传感器) of tango smartphones.but its not all just about fun and games. present location technology in smartphones isnt 100 percent accurate, meaning navigating (导航) indoors is difficult, but tango devices special sensors allow them to “see” any in-door space. its hoped that blind people will be able to use this technology to help them find their way around inside buildings.there are still problems with this, though, john brownlee of co. design says, “lets say you need to direct a blind person to walk 50 feet in a straight line: how do you communicate to him or her what a foot is?” he wrote.google is working to solve these issues, however. “nearly 20 percent of the us population will have a disability during their lifetime,” eve anderson, head of accessibility engineering at google, wrote on the companys website. “thats why its so important to build tools to make technology easy for everyone.”32. according to the passage, ar .a. is a
