题目内容

Parents may think they’re smart about where they store medicines, but their kids are smarter. Nearly 60,000 young children are rushed to the hospital every year after getting into medicines not meant for them, according to a new report from Safe Kids Worldwide.

The report finds little connection between what parents know about storing medicines safely and what they actually do. Nine out of 10 parents know that medicines should be stored up and away out of reach and sight, but 7 out of 10 of them admit not doing that. They leave medicines out on kitchen counters, sinks and sofas, believing babies and toddlers(学步者)aren’t tall enough or strong enough to reach them. Unfortunately, they probably can. Children as young as a month have ended up in an emergency department because they’d been poisoned by getting into a medicine that was left within reach.

Most poisonings related to medicines---particularly among babies and toddlers---occur within their home. Kids develop rapidly and they want to explore their environment. At certain ages they have a lot of hand-to-mouth activity, and so it’s very common for them to explore their environment and then try to taste what they find.

The new Safe Kids worldwide report includes a survey of 2,000 parents with children under age 6. While the number of children visiting an emergency department for accidental poisonings had declined since the 2010 maximum, the decline has slowed in recent years.

Prescription and over-the-counter medicines cause the most severe poisonings, but vitamins and supplements(补充品)can also cause problems. There are steps families can take to lower the risk for an accidental medicine poisoning.

1.Why are children poisoned according to the text?

A. Some of the medicines at home taste nice

A. Vitamins and supplements can do good to kids

B. The team made a survey of 2,000 kids under age 6

C. 600 parents surveyed could keep medicines properly

D. Kids are usually smart at storing medicines at home

3.What could be the best title for the text?

B. The Number of Kids Poisoned Has Declined Lately

Every time we get behind the wheel of a car, we pt our lives and the lives of others at risk. Self-driving cars are designed to reduce those risks by letting technology control our vehicles.

Accident rates for self-driving cars have been much lower than the rate, for human-driven cars. 1.

As humans, we can make moral choices in avoiding accidents. To avoid hitting a child, for example, human drivers might sharply turn a car away from the child even if others may be injured. 2. Researchers studied this issue. They have developed the Moral Machine website to help explore the choices self-driving cars should make.

3. . You are shown two possible traffic situations and you choose between them. An accident will take place. You choose how many living beings would be hurt or killed.

In one situation there may be a female doctor, a child, two dogs and a homeless person who would be killed. In the other situation, you might have two babies and a cat who would be killed. 4.

The Moral Machine website has many situations and many possible outcomes. When you click on the situation of your choice, it will be highlighted. 5. At the end of the situation, you are shown the results, based on the choices you made. The results show which character you were most likely to save and which character you were most likely to have die.

A. Who should those victims be?

B. Then the next situation appears.

C. You choose who lives and who dies.

D. You can use the Moral Machine to be the judge.

E. But what moral choices can self-driving cars make?

F. The Moral Machine website lets you choose how you would react in a collision.

G. Google’s self-driving car has had only 13 collisions after traveling 1.8 million miles.

2．音乐家musician．

9．My father's family is not a musical family．They are a family of words．My brother has my father's dark hair，his love of a good argument．I take after my mother．From her I inherited a curious nature，a sense of adventure，bright red hair．I did not，contrary to her hopes，inherit a talent for the piano．That fact was established beyond doubt after unsuccessful attempts to draw music from me．
The piano lessons began when I was four．My mother was convinced that I would be a child Mozart．She found the ideal teacher--Madame Oblenka，a strict Russian woman，whose pursed lips were enough to frighten a wild horse into submission．Madame Oblenka，who expected a little Mozart，was not very delighted to find a little girl banging her fists on the keys．
I tried to please her．"Feel the music，"she urged．I"felt"it and winced  （退避） my ear--for what is more unpleasant than a series of wrong notes played continuously？She"felt"my music，too，which is why she always left with an angrier expression than when she came．
Once，when I was ten，I managed to record one of my own rehearsals （练习）．In order to escape my practice sessions，I would close myself behind the door of the piano room，put on the tape recording，and read until the tape had finished．That method worked for a week，until my mother began to wonder why I always missed the same B-sharp．She knocked on the door，and，receiving no answer，came in to check on me and found that I had fallen asleep while the tape of my performance played on and on．
I was twelve when my parents finally acknowledged that my hidden talent was not about to emerge any time soon．My mother，refusing to admit defeat，told me to pick another instrument．"Choose anything you want，Honey，"she said，assuming that freedom of choice would inspire devotion．I thought long and hard and chose the drums．My parents，sensitive to noise，would be less than overjoyed by a daily bombardment of playing．I imagined my father in his study，cotton wads in his ears．
I worked my way through several other instruments before my mother hit on another idea．Maybe I wasn't meant to be an instrumentalist．Realizing that drama might be more suited to my talents，Mom took me to a drama teacher．However，he put me backstage，painting scenery．Once I recovered from my sense of injury，I realized the wisdom of his choice．I loved the active，practical backstage world，and I discovered that I had a knack for constructing and painting．I loved the challenge of taking our scanty （贫乏） supplies and using them to make something beautiful．Imagining a scene and then seeing it emerge before me--this，to me，was close to magic．
I'm a sculptor now，and every day I experience afresh the joy of being fully absorbed in the act of artistic creation．It's a wonderful，blissful （乐而忘忧） feeling．I realize that my parents，in their misguided attempts to interest me in music，were trying to give me this feeling．And now I feel grateful．Perhaps they went about it in the wrong way，but their hearts were in the right place．

6．She brought with her three friends，none ofwhomI had ever met before．

7．Dian Fossey was an American zoologist who studied gorillas（大猩猩）in Africa．Her research and life in the mountain forests of Rwanda made her famous．She wrote a book about her work，Gorillas in the Mist．A major Hollywood studio paid her a million dollars for the movie rights．Her cruel murder in 1985had to be added to the film．
Fossey was born in 1932．She became interested in animals from a very early age and attend a veterinary course．Her major at university would help her later research．She became interested in Africa in her late twenties．She took out money and went to Tanzania，where she met the man who would change her life，anthropologist（人类学者）Dr．Louis Leakey．
Fossey was encouraged by Dr．Leakey to carry out long-term research on mountain gorillas．In 1967，she set up the Karisoke Research Centre in the remote Rwanda rainforest．She became an internationally famous in 1970after appearing on the cover of National Geographic magazine．It brought huge publicity（宣扬）for her campaign to protect the mountain gorillas and save them from dying out．
Fossey was strongly against zoos．In 1978，she tried to stop two young gorillas from being taken from Rwanda to a zoo in Germany．However，Twenty adult gorillas were killed．She also disagreed with"conservation tourism"，which disturbs the animals'natural habitat．Many believe she was killed by those who wanted to make big money from gorilla tourism．
