a man walking his dog attacked the pair, throwing the pet underwater and hitting the owner in the stomach with its back legs. the australian, chris rickard, was in stable condition monday after the

with its back legs and tearing a deep cut into his stomach and across his face.i thought i might take action to drag the dog out from under his grasp, but i didnt expect him to actually attack me, rickard, 49, told the herald sun newspaper. it was a shock at the start because it was a kangaroo, about 5 feet high, they dont go around killing people.i was stuck having to hold on to the dog with

back a couple of bad memories.”kangaroos rarely attack people but will fight if they feel threatened. dogs often chase kangaroos, which have been known to lead the pets into water and defend

fact as dangerous as careless drivers. they cause traffic accidents, injury and death.these dangerous walkers can be seen in any big city all over the world. about 69% of last years pedestrian deaths in the us occurred in urban areas. they cross streets ignoring “dont walk” signals, suddenly appear without warning from behind parked vehicles, walk slowly at crossroads with cell phones attached to heads, blocking traffic.these pedestrians and drivers share a common disregard for the rules of the road, both for selfish reasons. the drivers believe in the power of their machines. if their machines can go faster, they believe they have the right to go faster. if their machines are bigger, they believe they have the right to push smaller vehicles aside. aggressive pedestrians, on the other hand, believe in the primacy(首位) of the individual, the idea that they are first in any environment, under any circumstances, even when they are on foot in a roaring tide of steel and rubber.last year, an estimated 5,220 pedestrians died in traffic accidents. some 69,000 pedestrians were injured. on average, that worked out to one pedestrian killed in a traffic crash every 101 minutes, and one injured every eight minutes. the good news is that the accident rate is dropping. for example, the number of pedestrians killed last year was 24 percent less than the number killed in traffic accidents a decade earlier. the bad news is that the basic causes of pedestrian deaths remain pretty much the same-disregard for traffic signals, inattention and crossing roads under the influence of alcohol and drugs. alcohol, in fact, was involved in 46 percent of the traffic accidents that resulted in pedestrian deaths. of those, 31 percent of the pedestrians were found to be drunk.the bottom line is that the pedestrians must do more to protect their lives as well as the lives of other road users. they can start by obeying traffic signals, using marked cross-walks and calling a cab when theyve had too much to drink.63. the passage is mainly about _.a. what the traffic rules of the road about pedestrians wereb. why so many americans were killed on roads last yearc. how aggressive pedestrians cause traffic accidents d. who are to blame for pedestrian deaths, drunk drivers or the aggressive pedestrians64. what is the pedestrians selfish reason for traffic jams?a. they believe individuals are always first.b. they know all drivers are skilled and with great care.c. they think traffic rules have nothing to do with them.d. they guess all vehicles will slow down at crossroads.65. what was not the basic cause of pedestrian deaths in the us a decade ago?a. disregard for traffic signalsb. paying no attention to surroundings.c. overspeeding driving.d. crossing roads drunk.66. what word can best describe the authors attitude to the traffic accidents caused by pedestrians?a. excited.b. cold.c. unconnected. d. concerneddin the near future, we may be using our eyes to operate our smart-phones and tablets, even when it comes to playing popular games like fruit ninja.the gaze group has been developing eye-controlled computer technology for nearly 20 years. but those devices have been firstly designed to help those with disabilities, and are very expensive.“after a while, we figured out that probably the best way is to go for a mass-market way,” says gazes sune alstrup johansen. “where everybody would have this available.johansen and some of his colleagues have formed a new company, the eye tribe, which is hoping to develop the technology on a mass commercial level.the technology works with the help of the computing device toward the users face. after making sure of the users eye movements, the technology is then able to easily find where a persons eyes are moving, and then allow the eyes to control a cursor（光标）.“our software can then determine the location of the eyes and know where youre looking on the screen to make sure what youre looking at, ” reads an explanation on the eye tribe site.there has been a gradual change toward hands-free technology in recent years, particularly in the gaming world. recently xbox released the kinect device, which lets users control their xbox and play certain games using only their hands, legs and voices. but still, most of these devices have been more of a gimmick than a practical way to use ones hands to control a mobile device. johansen said a replaceable filter（滤光器）would be a cheap, convenient way for most consumers.and even as companies like the eye tribe work to create such a
