felt my 42 for she occasionally looked in my direction. by now i was telling myself that i could at least tell her how good she sounded. i walked 43 and put some money in her box and she expressed her thanks with a smile on her face.i asked her 44 , “why are you playing the piano in the middle of this crowded place?”she explained to me that she sees so many 45 people in the world that she is trying to relieve the pain by 46 motivational music.instead of continuing my way home, i said to her, “i have been going through a 47 time lately, but youve made me 48 again.”“im happy that i could be 49 to you,” she replied. “why are you so sad?”i told her my story and said, “im not so 50 about what to do.”“you see, heres the 51 ,” she responded. “when you were walking, your head was down.” she looked me in the eyes and went on, “dont look defeated, because 52 comes in different ways and if your head is down you might never see it. you should 53 more lift your head up.”i was really 54 by what she said! i did hold my head up and soon got through the difficult time. so 55 in trouble, just face it bravely and you are sure to overcome your difficulty sooner or later. 36. a. lonely b. dizzyc.

avoid if you pay due care and attention. university often brings a certain lifestyle, and while thats usually a whole lot of fun, it can quickly tip into a whole lot of sorrow. know your limits when it comes to alcohol. habitual drinking can be dangerous, and while every student will have nights of excess, these should be the exception, not the norm. look out for your friends, too. if youre worried about alcohol or substance abuse, visit .uk or for free and confidential support.anyone living with teenagers and young adults, especially in environments such as halls of residence, must accept that germs (细菌) will be shared. bugs and colds will spread like wildfire. living communally brings certain health risks, and meningitis is probably the most serious of these. symptoms include a rash, stiff neck and an aversion to bright lights. its rare, but seek immediate medical attention if youre concerned ().gappers, meanwhile, may need to consider specific health risks. if youre planning a trip abroad, especially in rural areas of poor countries, make sure you get the necessary vaccinations (预防注射) in good time before you leave. research these at doctor.co.uk. you should be able to get everything you need from your doctor, although you may have to give them notice and you may have to pay, even on the nhs (英国国家医疗服务体系). if you also need to take medication while youre away,

nowadays, safety concerns are important and reducing road accidents to minimum is a must. so, automakers are focused on safety systems more than ever before. given the emphasis on improving safety, its possible that well-known phrases such as “live fast and die young” may lose their meaning as innovative (创新的) new devices are built into cars and trucks and other things that go.many of the new safety systems that are being added to high-end vehicles are computer-assisted technologies that transfer some of the vehicles operations to the vehicle itself, rather than relying only on the drivers decision-making skills. for example, predictive brake assist is an in-vehicle feature that prepares the vehicle for braking when its built-in sensors detect a potential object ahead. the predictive brake assist basically places the vehicles braking system on alert, which helps the system to slow down the car in as little time and as short a distance as possible.other in-vehicle sensors will detect moving and still objects and will even distinguish the objects based on simple patterns, such as other vehicles vs. a person. whats more, built-in “active systems”, i.e., predictive precollision (可预测碰撞) systems, will provide drivers with advance detection of potential contact between vehicles.these systems compute the relative movement of the objects and detect possible dangerous intersections (交点).what technological developments have enabled innovations like predictive precollision systems? essentially, these so-called active systems are the result of vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-infrastructure communications. these communication links allow highways to provide a vehicles owners with services such as renting a movie during the trip, as well as reduce reaction delays when medical care is needed due to a crash. despite these new technologies, drivers cannot take safety for granted. until all vehicles are fully automated, it is the drivers themselves who are responsible for operating their vehicles and obeying traffic laws designed to keep roadways secure. so, keep your eyes on the road and your hands on the steering wheel (方向盘). 60. “predictive precollision” can be used to _. a. detect possible dangerous crossroads b. compute the relative movement of the contacting vehicles c. brake the car automatically in as little time as possible d. detect potential contacts between vehicles in advance 61. which of the following statements is not true?a. advanced safety systems make driving an easier job. b. automakers pay more attention to safety system than before.c. new advanced technology makes the vehicle operation rely only on the vehicle itself.d. drivers are still expected to drive carefully despite the built-in advanced safety system.62. we can conclude that the new technology will _.a. put an end to road accidentsb. force people to obey traffic lawsc. see a wide use in the futured. ensure the quality of medical care63. which of the following would best serve as the title for the passage?a. live fast, die youngb. new systems, safer drivingc. new technology, relaxed drivers d. high-end vehicles, big innovationcthe silent young woman in bed number six is called jasmine. so am i, but names are only superficial things, floats on the surface of the water, and we share deeper connections than that. that is why she fascinates mewhy i spend my off-duty time sitting beside her. today is difficult. the ward (病房) is full of patients and i am kept busy emptying bed-pans, filling out forms, changing dressings. finally, late in the afternoon, i get a few moments to make coffee, to take it over to the orange plastic chair beside her bed. i am thankful to be off my feet, glad to be in her company once again. “hello, jasmine,” i say, as if greeting myself. she does not reply. jasmine never replies. she is down too deep. she has been sea-damaged. i too am the daughter of a fisherman, so i choose my words like fish-hooks, cast them into her ears, imagine them sinking down through cold, dark water. down to wherever she may be. “i have little time today,” i tell her, touching her hair. with jasmine, it is always difficult not to touch. she is that rare thing, a truly beautiful woman. because of this, people invent reasons to walk by. i catch them looking, drinking her in, feeding on her. they are barracuda (梭鱼), all of them. great beauty is something jasmine and i do not share. i am glad of it. “your father may be here soon,” i say. “last week he said he would come.” jasmine says nothing. her left eyelid flickers, perhaps. it is two months since the incident on her fathers fishing boat, since she fell overboard, sank, became entangled in the nets. it was some time before anyone noticed, then there was panic. her father hauled her back on board and sailed for home. when he finally arrived, he carried ashore what he thought was his daughters body. “jasmine,” i whisper. i want her to take our baited (用作诱醒的) name. i want her to swallow it. fortunately, there was a doctor in the village that morning, a young man visiting relatives. it was he who brought this drowned woman back from the brink, he who told me her story. she opened her eyes, he said, looked up at her father and spoke a single wordthen sank again, this time into coma. barracuda. that is what jasmine said. when her father visits, he touches her hair, kisses her cheek, sits in the orange plastic chair at the side of her bed and holds her hand. like my own father, he has the big, brown, life-roughened hands of a fisherman. he too smells of the sea, and pretends he is a good, simple man. jasmine. we share so much, we are almost one. i remember early mornings, my hair touched to wake me, my father lifting me half-asleep from my bed, carrying me, dropping me into his boat. his voice rough in my ear, his hands rough on my skin. i never wanted to go, but i was just a child. he did as he wished. i remember salt water, hot sun, my mother shrinking on the shore. i remember the rocking of the boat, the screams of the seagulls. “jasmine, you have a life inside you. cant you hear it calling?” nothing. the ward door bangs, and i see jasmines father walking towards us, carrying flowers. he smiles at me. even in death, my own child had my fathers smile, and jasmines will have this mans. i know it. he stops by her bed and touches her hair. something stirs deep inside me. i watch jasmines eyelids, waiting for her to bite.64. why does the author show special sympathy for jasmine? a. they share the same name.b. jasmine looks very fascinating. c. they have much in common. d. jasmines father is very pitiful.65. from the passage we can learn that jasmines father _. a. comes to see his daughter every day b. is a good and simple man in the authors eyes c. took his daughter out to the sea against her will d. thought his daughter dead when back to the shore66. what kind of situation is jasmine
