4.Sometimes you can't believe what is happening before your eyes.With all her big brothers and sisters off to school,our four-year-old daughter,Becky,felt(31)Aat home.Cattle and horses were too big for her to(32)Cwith.Oh,my poor daughter.
One day I had just finished washing the lunch dishes when Becky rushed in with(33)B.
"Mama!"she cried,"Come to see my new dog!I gave him water two times already.He's so thirsty."
I(34)D,another of Becky's imaginary(35)B"Please come,Mama."She pulled(36)Dmy jeans,her brown eyes pleading(恳求)."He's crying-and he can't walk!""Can't walk?"I could(37)Cit must be a certain animal this time."All right,honey,"I said.By the time I tried to(38)Aher,Becky had already disappeared into the(39)D."Where are you?"I called."Over here by the oak stump(橡木桩).Hurry,Mama!"I(40)Athe branches and raised my hand(41)D the glare of the sun.To my(42)B,she was touching an unmistakable head of a wolf!
"Becky,"My mouth felt dry."Don't move."I (43)Ccloser.Yes,it was a big wolf which was badly hurt.Suddenly the wolf (44)A."It's all right,boy."Becky(45)B it."Don't be afraid.That's my Mama,and she loves you,too."Then the unbelievable thing happened.As her tiny hands(46)B the great shaking head,I found the wolf(47)Cdown and waved his tail gently."Honey,"my(48)Dtightened."Put his(49)Cdown and come to Mama.We'll go and find help."
Becky got up and kissed the wolf on the nose before she walked slowly into my arms. With Becky(50)Ain my arms,I ran home quickly.I can't understand why my little girl could get along well with the wolf.but I always think if only all of us could get on well with other animals,like my daughter and the wolf.

2.People usually agree that eyes can speak.
Do you have such kind of experience?On a bus you may look at a (31)D,but not too long.And if the stranger is feeling that he is being stared at,he may feel (32)B.The same is in daily life.If you are looked at for more than (33)D,you will look at yourself (34)C to see if there is anything wrong (35)A you.If nothing goes wrong,you will feel a little bit (36)B toward others'staring at you that way.Eyes (37)D speak,right?

If a (43)B looks at you continuously when speaking,as if he tries to control you,(44)C will feel upset.A poor liar usually gives himself away by looking too long at the listener,since he has a wrong idea that to look straight in the eye is a (45)B of honest communication.Quite the opposite.

Clearly,eye contact should be done according to the (49)C between two people and the (50)D situation.
Use your eye contact correctly,and you will win more friends,or the one you low.

1.It is one of the most terrifying moments for any urban cyclists:the first time a huge,high-sided construction truck lumbers alongside,the driver (51)C within their high cab(驾驶室).Now a leading cycling group hopes it has (52)C with a solution-the cyclist-friendly lorry.
The draft design,to be unveiled(揭幕)on Wednesday by the London Cycling Campaign,reduces the overall height of the lorry,(53)B the driving position,and greatly (54)B the side windows of the cab,stretching them as close to road level as possible. (55)A drivers of the traditional lorry have to rely on (56)D and sensors to spot cyclists or pedestrians close to the front offside of the vehicle,if they can detect them at all,the new design all but (57)D this blind spot.
It is undoubtedly a big (58)C,especially in London,where lorries form about 5% of vehicle traffic (59)C are responsible for about half of all cyclist deaths,with a large (60)B of these involving construction lorries,often turning left into a cyclist.In 2011,of the 16 cyclist deaths in London,nine involved lorries,of which seven were construction vehicles.
If elements of the London Cycling Campaign's design look familiar that is (61)Athey are already in use-many (62)B rubbish lorries already feature low-silled glass doors,allowing the drivers to look out for both staff (63)D bins and other pedestrians.This demonstrated how construction companies could change if they wanted to.
A study (64)A last month by Transport for London said construction trucks were disproportionately(不成比率地)involved in cyclist accidents and recommended (65)Dsuch as giving drivers delivering goods to building sites more realistic time slots to avoid them being tempted into recklessness.
