said he was walking his blue dog, rocky, on sunday morning when they surprised a sleeping kangaroo in arthurs creek northeast of melbournethe dog chased the animal into a pond, when the kangaroo turned and knocked the pet underwaterwhen rickard tried to pull his dog free, the kangaroo turned on him, attacking with its back legs and tearing a deep cut into his stomach and across his facei 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 newspaperit was a shock at the start because it was a kangaroo, about 5 feet high, they dont go around killing peoplei was stuck having to hold on to the dog with both hands because it was half drowned and i couldnt really see anything because the kangaroo just attacked me”he added, all i could do was just keep pushing for the bank and he was trying to push me under the water, so at that point i struck him in the throat and that made him back off a little biti dont think ill ever be able to watch kangaroo programs quite the same as i used to it might bring 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 themselves thererickard said he ended the attack by hitting the kangaroo in the throat adding

traffic accidents, injury and deaththese dangerous walkers can be seen in any big city all over the worldabout 69% of last years pedestrian deaths in the us occurred in urban areasthey 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 trafficthese pedestrians and drivers share a common disregard for the rules of the road, both for selfish reasonsthe drivers believe in the power of their machinesif their machines can go faster, they believe they have the right to go fasterif their machines are bigger, they believe they have the right to push smaller vehicles asideaggressive 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 rubberlast year, an estimated 5,220 pedestrians died in traffic accidentssome 69,000 pedestrians were injuredon average, that worked out to one pedestrian killed in a traffic crash every 101 minutes, and one injured every eight minutesthe good news is that the accident rate is droppingfor example, the number of pedestrians killed last year was 24 percent less than the number killed in traffic accidents a decade earlierthe 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 drugsalcohol, in fact, was involved in 46 percent of the traffic accidents that resulted in pedestrian deathsof those, 31 percent of the pedestrians were found to be drunkthe bottom line is that the pedestrians must do more to protect their lives as well as the lives of other road usersthey can start by obeying traffic signals, using marked cross-walks and calling a cab when theyve had too much to drink63the passage is mainly about _awhat the traffic rules of the road about pedestrians werebwhy so many americans were killed on roads last yearchow aggressive pedestrians cause traffic accidents dwho are to blame for pedestrian deaths, drunk drivers or the aggressive pedestrians64what is the pedestrians selfish reason for traffic jams?athey believe individuals are always firstbthey know all drivers are skilled and with great carecthey think traffic rules have nothing to do with themdthey guess all vehicles will slow down at crossroads65what was not the basic cause of pedestrian deaths in the us a decade ago?adisregard for traffic signalsbpaying no attention to surroundingscoverspeeding drivingdcrossing roads drunk66what word can best describe the authors attitude to the traffic accidents caused by pedestrians?aexcitedbcoldcunconnected dconcerneddin 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 ninjathe gaze group has been developing eye-controlled computer technology for nearly 20 yearsbut 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 availablejohansen and some of his colleagues have formed a new company, the eye tribe, which is hoping to develop the technology on a mass commercial levelthe technology works with the help of the computing device toward the users faceafter 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 sitethere has been a gradual change toward hands-free technology in recent years, particularly in the gaming worldrecently xbox released the kinect device, which lets users control their xbox and play certain games using only their hands, legs and voicesbut still, most of these devices have been more of a gimmick than a practical way to use ones hands to control a mobile devicejohansen said a replaceable filter（滤光器）would be a cheap, convenient way for most consumersand even as companies like the eye tribe work to create such a product for the average user, making the eye-controlled technology more accessible and less expensive will have similar benefits for physically disabled usersfor more
