The park bench was deserted as I sat down to read beneath the long branches of an old willow tree.   31  at life, I have a good reason to frown, for the world was intent on   32  me down.
And if that weren't enough to ruin my day, a young boy out of breath   33 me, all tired from play. He stood   34  in front of me with his head tilted down and said with great excitement, "Look what I found!" In his hand was a   35 . What a pitiful sight, its petals were all worn - not enough rain, or too little light. Wanting him to take his dead flower away and go off to play, I   36  a small smile and then looked away.
But instead of   37  , he sat next to my side and placed the flower to his nose and   38  loudly with certainty, "It sure smells pretty and it must be beautiful, too. That's why I picked it; here, it's for you." The weed before me was dying or dead, not vibrant of   39 , orange, yellow or red. But I knew I must take it, or he might never leave. So I  40  for the flower, and replied, "Just what I need." Again,  41  placing the flower in my hand, he held it mid-air without reason or plan. It was then 42 I noticed for the very first time that the boy could not see: he was 43 .
I heard my voice trembling. Tears shone like the sun as I thanked him for picking the very best one. "You're welcome," he smiled, and then ran off to play, not realizing the  44  he'd had on my day. I sat there and wondered how he managed to see a  45   woman beneath an old willow tree. How did he 46 my self-indulged plight(困境)? Perhaps he'd been  47  with true sight from his heart by God.
Through the eyes of a blind child, at last I could see, the problem was not with the world; the problem was me. For all of those times I myself had been blind. I decided to see beauty, and 48  every second that belongs to mine.  49 I held that dead flower up to my nose and breathed in the  50  of a beautiful rose , I smiled as that young boy. Another flower in his hand was about to change the life of an unsuspecting old man.

An Australian company, Smart Car Technologies, has developed a system that lets drivers know when they’re speeding.When the technology becomes commercially available, it could help lead-footed drivers avoid tickets and also save lives.The company that developed the product hopes to convince Australian government agencies to put the technology into use in their automobile fleets.
The product, called Speed Alert, links real-time location data and speed obtained with the help of GPS(全球定位系统) to a database of posted speed limits stored in a driver’s PDA or programmable mobile phone.The setup of the product does not need to be hooked(钩住) up to a car’s speedometer.In fact, it is entirely portable.It will also work with newer phones and PDAs that have built-in GPS receivers.If a driver exceeds(超过) the speed limit, the speed is shown and an alert sounds.
Michael Paine, an Australian vehicle design engineer and traffic safety consultant, was hired to analyze the product.He told Live Science  that his colleagues in the road safety field are “very enthusiastic” about what they’re now calling “intelligent speed alert.” Other research, according to Paine, shows that 40 percent of all traffic deaths involve speeding.There is also a potentially future use: “Since the system is so portable, it would be easy to make it a requirement for teenage drivers to always use a speed alert device when driving,” Paine said.“The system even has the function to record speeding violations(违背), so parents can monitor their teenage drivers.”
The product will soon go on sale in Sydney.
41.What’s the purpose of the new product_______.
A.To inform us of the new car system.     B.To introduce some improvement in cars.
C.To limit certain drivers to safe driving.   D.To popularize the built-in car system.
42.Lead-footed drivers refer to the ones        .
A.who drive too carelessly   B.that drive extremely fast
C.who are partly disabled     D.that drive too slowly
43.The second paragraph mainly talks about        .
A.the project of the built-in product     B.why the system becomes popular
C.the functions of GPS in cars       D.how the product is programmed
44.Which of the following is true of Speed Alert according to Michael Paine?
A.Most of the traffic deaths can be avoided. 
B.Speeding violations can be easily found out.
C.The system will excite some teenage drivers.
D.The product will not be available for adults.
