9.Mom wanted only one thing for her birthday."Can you find me another copy of this song?"she asked,and handed me a worn-out cassette tape.I knew exactly what was recorded on it:My Redeemer(救世主).I heard the song played at least a thousand times while growing up.After so many years,the cassette tape was too worn out to be used.I promised her I would find a replacement.My Redeemer became Mom's favorite song after my younger brother Tim was killed by a drunk driver in 1973.The only thing that helped her calm down was the soulful sound of My Redeemer from the local radio station.
We recorded it on a cassette tape so she could listen to it any time she wanted but none of us knew who the soloist (独唱者) was.These days,I thought the song would be easy to find out.I went home and searched the Internet.Several songs with that title popped up,but none of them was the one Mom loved.I got frustrated.
Mom's birthday drew near and then one day,I was driving home,listening to our local radio station.A familiar tune came on.It was My Redeemer!As soon as I could,I phoned the station.I got a line on the soloist,who was called Alan Parks.I typed his name into Google and found his home number in South Carolina.Minutes later,I was telling him how much his recording meant to Mom.He offered to ship two CDs out to me personally.I gave his my adders.
"Red Lion,Pennsylvania?"he said."Do you know the Logans?""They are our neighbors!""I've been friends with them for 25 years,"Alan said."They'll be at my concert at York Gospel Chapel on April 17th.Would you and your mom come too?"We sure would.Mom was excited to hear Alan sing My Redeemer to her,live in concert-on the evening of her 87th birthday.

20.Starting next year,Ford Motor Co.will allow parents to limit the speed at which their teenage children drive their car.
The company will make a new feature on many models that can limit teen drivers to 80mph(130kph),using a computer chip(芯片) in the key.
Parents in the United States,where most teens can get their driving license at 16,also have the option of programming the car key to limit the audio system volume(音量),and to sound continuous alarm if the driver doesn't wear a seat belt.
More than half of parents surveyed worry that their teenage children are driving at unsafe speeds,talking on hand-held cell phones or texting while driving,or otherwise driving without due care and attention.More than a third of parents also are concerned that their teens do not always fasten their safety belts when driving.
"Our message to parents is,hey,we are proving you some conditions to give your new drivers that may allow you to feel a little more comfortable in giving them the car more often,"said Jim Buczkowski,Ford's director of electronic and electrical systems engineering.
More than 5,000US teens die each year in car crashes.The rate of crashes,fatal(致命的) and nonfatal,per mile driven for 16-year-old drivers is almost 10times the rate for drivers aged 30to 59,according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
The new feature,called"MyKey",will be standard on an unspecified number of Ford models when the new models come out late next summer.The feature will spread to the entire Ford,Lincoln and Mercury Lineup as models are updated,spokesman Wes Sherwood said.
The company already uses computer chips in its keys to prevent thefts.The car won't start unless it recognizes the chip in the key.
"It's making use of existing technology,and through the magic of software,we're able to build features on top of the features we already have,"Buczkowski said.
64.According to the passage,MyKey canA.
A.limit speed and prevent thefts
B.adjust the audio system's volume
C.remind drivers to answer the phone

14.Finding time to red is an important part of developing literacy skills for all kids.And there are many easy and convenient ways to make reading a part of each day-even when it's tough to find time to sit down with a book.
Reading opportunities are everywhere you go.While riding in the car,for example,encourage kids to spot words and letters (on billboards,store signs,etc.),turning it into a game ("Who'll be the first to find a letter B?").While shopping,ask your preschooler to"read"pictures on boxes and tell you about them.Point out the difference between the words and the pictures on the boxes.Encourage older kids to tell you what's on the shopping list.
Even daily tasks like cooking can provide reading moments.You can read recipes aloud to younger kids,and older kids can assist you as your cook by telling you how much flour to measure.Give your child a catalog to read while you sort through the mail.Ask relatives to send your child letters,e-mails,or text messages,and read them together.Help your child create letters or messages to send back to the relatives.These types of activities help kids see the purpose of reading and of print.
Even when you're trying to get things done,you can encourage reading.While cleaning,for instance,you might ask your child to read a favorite book to you while you work.Younger kids can talk to you about the pictures in the favorite books.
Make sure kids get some time to spend quietly with books,even if it means cutting back on other activities,like watching TV or playing video games.
Most importantly,be a reader yourself.Kids who see their parents reading are likely to resemble them and become readers,too!

18.Many Chinese people have awakened their interest in classical Chinese poetry recently thanks to a popular TV show that aims to"appreciate classical Chinese poetry,explore cultural genes and enjoy the beauty of life"by combining traditional literary form with light-hearted TV quizzes.

When it comes to teaching people about poetry,Li Dingguang,the show's academic advisor,suggested that teachers should explain more about the beauty of the poetry from both the aesthetic (审美的) and emotional sides,and guide students to lose themselves in the poems,rhythmic and rhyming (押韵的) lines.
"Although the proportion (比例) of ancient Chinese poems in the textbooks of primary and secondary schools has increased,many students still learn them for exams."Li Dingguang said,"Therefore,it's important to help students truly appreciate the artistry and fun of poetry."
