One January afternoon, her grandfather Coy Jumper piled ten-year-old Cara and her sister, Claire, six, and Emma, five, into his Pontiac Sunfire and took them down to the pond. He and the girls walked happily through the pines, checking traps. No luck-they were empty.As the sun disappeared gradually toward the horizon, the group turned back to head home. But as Coy walked along the bank, he was suddenly unable to put one foot in front of the other. Then Cara saw Coy walk unsteadily and fall backward into the ponds deep water.When her grandfather didnt surface immediately, Cara jumped in. With onehand, Cara grabbed the bank. With the other, she reached for her grandfather, making contact in the dark water.Coy had suffered a stroke(中风) the year before. Now Cara wondered if hed had one again. Just 80 pounds to her grandfathers 230, she held his head and pulled his face out of the water. That woke him, but he was still dead weight. She managed to move Coy towards the three-foot bank and pulled him up onto solid ground.The winter sun had almost disappeared, and they were all trembling. Cara knew shed have to get Coy to the car, a quarter mile away. She helped him to his feet. Coy slowly moved forward.Sixty feet from the car, Coy fell. From there, he crawled, dragging himself under a gate, to the car. His granddaughters helped him into the passengers side, and Cara got into the drivers seat.“I used to sit on my dads lap and drive,” she says now. Coy, too, she says, had let the fifth grader drive through the fields around the house. Still, she felt nervous, but she pushed on the gas and steered(驾驶) them the three miles home. “I was trying to get there fast, but I didnt want to get us hurt,” Cara says. When she pulled the Sunfire into the garage, her grandmother, Esca was there to meet them.Coy spent six days in the hospital recovering from a stroke.

Rescue Under the WaterCUnusual incidents are being reported across the Arctic. Inuit(因纽特人) families going off on snowmobiles to prepare their summer hunting camps have found themselves cut off from home by a sea of mud. There are also reports of sea ice breaking up earlier than usual, carrying seals beyond the reach of hunters. Climate change may still be a rather abstract idea to most of us, but in the Arctic it is already having great effects-if summertime ice continues to shrink at its present rate, the Arctic Ocean could soon become almost ice-free in summer. The knock- on effects(连锁反应) are likely to include more warming, cloudier skies, and higher sea levels. Scientists are increasingly eager to find out whats going on in the Arctic.For the Inuit the problem is urgent. They live in unsteady balance with one of the environments on earth. Climate change, whatever its causes, is a direct danger to their way of life. Nobody knows the Arctic as well as the locals, which is why they are not content simply to stand back and let outside experts tell them whats happening. In Canada, where the Inuit people are trying hard to guard their hard-won autonomy in the countrys newest land, Nunavut, they believe their best hope of survival in this changing environment lies in combining their ancestral knowledge with the best of modern science. This is a challenge in itself.The Canadian Arctic is a vast, treeless polar desert thats covered with snow for most of the year. Adventure into this area and you get some idea of the hardships facing anyone who calls this home. Farming is out of the question and nature offers few pickings. Humans first settled in the Arctic a mere 4,500 years ago, surviving by taking advantage of sea first. The environment tested them to the limits: sometimes the settlers were successful; sometimes they failed and disappeared. But around a thousand years ago, one group appeared that was uniquely well adapted to deal with the Arctic environment. These Thule people moved in from Alaska, bringing dogs, iron tools and the like. They are the ancestors of todays Inuit people.Life for the descendants(后代) of the Thule people is still tough. Nunavut is 1.9 million square kilometers of rock and ice, and a handful of islands around the North Pole. Its currently home to 2,500 people, all but a handful of them Inuit. Over the past 40 years, most have abandoned their nomadic(游牧的) ways and settled in the areas 28 isolated communities, but they still rely heavily on nature to provide food and clothing.Supplies available in local shops have to be flown into Nunavut on one of themost costly air networks in the world, or brought by supply ship during the few ice-free weeks of summer. It would cost a family around 7,000 a year to replace meat they obtained themselves through hunting with imported meat. Economic opportunities are few, and for many people state benefits are their only income.63. The Inuit people believe the way to deal with the climate change problem is.A. to change their way of lifeB. to do as their ancestorsC. To try to protect the environment from now onD. to use their ancestral knowledge and modern science64. It can be concluded from Paragraph 3 that .A. the first settlers in the Arctic survive there quite easilyB. its hard to farm in the Arctic due to climate changeC. the ancestors of the new people stood out among the settlersD. the Thule people from Alaska invented iron tools65. What may be the main reason of Inuits low income? A. Their nomadic ways of lifeB. Their conservative thought.C. The severe environment they live in. D. The natural disasters.66. Which of the following is the best title for this text? A. Climate Change and the InuitB. Climate Change around the ArcticC. Global Warming around the WorldD. The Inuit and Their Ancestors around the WorldD“Get your hands off me; I have been stolen,” the laptop, a portable computer, shouted. That is a new solution to laptop computer theft: a program that lets owners give their property a voice when it has been taken.The program allows users to display alerts on the missing computers screen and even to set a spoken message. Tracking software for stolen laptops has been on the market for some time, but this is thought to be the first that allows owners to give the thief a piece of their mind.Owners must report the
