She let her eyes lazily scan, the landscape for wildlife. Then a deer came into view about 200 yards in front of them

9、. “Dad, theres a deer there!” Alexis said. It was a male deer with sharp antlers (角) on each side of its head.As the car moved closer, Alexis saw that the deers head was bent toward the ground. Then she heard a scream and saw an arm fly up near the deers head. Alexis realized the deer was attacking

10、a woman. Sue, a 44-year-old mother, had been out for her morning run. The deer followed her and edged closer. “I knew I was in trouble,” Sue says. She went to pick up a stick for self-defense, and the deer charged. It lifted her with its antlers and threw her into the air. Sue could feel blood flew

11、down her leg. Within seconds, the deer had pushed her off the road.When Alexis and her father pulled up, the deer was throwing Sue like a doll. Alexis looked into the womans terrified eyes, and before her father had even stopped the car, the teenager jumped quickly out of the car and ran toward the

12、deer. “I was kicking it to get its attention,” she says. Then her father, who had followed his daughter, pushed the deer away from the women.Alexis helped Sue into the car, and then applied a piece of cloth to Sues injured leg. “Were going to get you to a hospital,” Alexis said. Then she heard her f

13、ather shout loudly. He had been knocked to the ground. Alexis took hold of a hammer from the car and ran to where her father lay on his back. She beat the deers head and neck, but the blows didnt scare it away. “I was losing faith,” she says. “A couple more strikes, Alexis,” said her father. “You ca

14、n do it.” Turning the hammer around, Alexis closed her eyes and beat the deers neck with all her strength. When she opened her eyes, the deer was running away. Alexis got in the drivers seat and sped toward the nearest hospital.After Sue was treated, she tearfully thanked her rescuers. “You expect a

17、 B. Cruel.C. Energetic. D. Brave.CPhoneSoap: Charge and Clean Your PhoneYou may charge your phone every day, but do you clean your phone as much? Whatever your hands touch, your phones touch. It has been discovered that some phones have 18 times more bacteria (细菌) and viruses (病毒) than any surface i

18、n a public restroom. So it probably wont surprise you that a 2011 University of London study found that one in six of our phones have bacteria and viruses on themspecifically, the bacteria called E. coli.The research on bacteria and viruses led to the invention of PhoneSoap. It is not actually liqui

19、d like dishwasher soap. It is a phone charger that uses the electromagnetic radiation used in hospitals to kill 99.9 percent of bacteria and viruses, cleaning your phone while it charges.“There are really certain types of bacteria and viruses that we should not be in touch with, and they are really

20、on our phones,” says Wes Barnes, the PhoneSoap co-founder. It all started while his cousin and co-founder, Dan LaPorte, was in his cancer research lab at college. “He realized he got the idea of getting rid of bacteria and viruses on the phones,” said Barnes. “In the lab they used UV-C light for des

21、troying them. He realized this would be the fastest, most powerful way to kill any bacteria and viruses living on electronic machines.”PhoneSoap looks like a little metal suitcase. Your phone rests in to charge and get cleaned at the same time. Instead of plugging your phone into the wall, youd plug

22、 it into the PhoneSoap charger box. The process only takes a few minutes but, Barnes says, “The idea is that you can leave it in there overnight if you want to keep charging. Reflective paint keeps the light completely around the phone so it cleans the phone fully.”The co-founders spent 2013 finding

23、 the right companies and they started shipping the product in late November. By last weeks International Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, PhoneSoap was all grown-up. Both co-founders have left their previous jobs and are selling PhoneSoap nonstop. “Were shipping almost more than we can handle

27、l Guide to Sustainable living, Robert and Brenda Vale say keeping a medium-sized (中等体型的) dog has the same ecological influence as driving 10,000 km a year a 2.0 liter car.“Were not actually saying it is time to eat the dog. Were just saying that we need to think about and know the ecological influen

28、ce of some of the things we do and that we take for granted.”Constructing and driving the jeep for a year requires 0.41 hectares (公顷) of land, while growing and manufacturing a dogs food takes about 0.84 hectares or 1.1 hectares in the case of a large dog such as a German shepherd.Convincing flesh-e

29、ating cats and dogs to go vegetarian for the fate of the planet is a non-starter, the Vales say. Instead they recommend keeping “greener”, smaller, and more sustainable (可持续的) pets, such as goldfish, chicken or rabbits.The books playful title, and serious suggestion that pet animals may be usefully

30、“recycled”, by being eaten by their owners or turned into pet food when they die, may not appeal to animal fans. Annoying as the idea may be, the question is valid given the planets growing population and limited resources, Robert Vale said.“Issues about sustainability are increasingly becoming thin

31、gs that are going to require us to make choices which are as difficult as eating your dog. Its not just about changing your light bulbs or taking a cloth bag to the supermarket,” he said.“Its about much more challenging and difficult issues,” he added. “Once you see where cats and dogs fit in your o

The bigger pet animals are, the worse ecological influence they have.D. Driving cars is more environment-friendly than keeping pet anim

35、als.七选五You only live once, and life is short. Its easy to look at people who are happy and assume that they dont understand your pain. The older you get, the more you realize that happiness takes work. People who smile in public have been through as much as people who cry, scream, etc. 71 So how can

36、 you live life to the fullest? Here are some tips to help you out:Decide whats important to you. It doesnt matter what it is. 72 Your parents, friends and society in general all have their opinions, but youre the only person who will be around for every moment of your life. Do what makes you happy,

37、and everything else will fall into place.Ready to take risks. Sometimes, theres danger involved in life, but every reward carries risk with it. 73 However, if you never take risks, youll never get anywhere in life. When people look back on their lives, they regret the chances they didnt take more th

38、an the ones they did.Ignore the haters. No matter what you decide to do with your life, there will always be someone around to point out the many ways you will fail. Know that every winner loses, but not every loser wins. 74 Instead, they keep pushing through failure. 75 Your being right about somet
