10．Jobs quickly became bored with college，He liked being at Reed，just not taking I he required classes．In fact，he was surprised when he found out that there were strict course requirements．When Wozniak came  to visit．Jobs waved his schedule at  him and complained．"They are making me take all these coyrses．"Wozniak replied，"Yes，that's what they do in college，"Jobs refused to go to the classes he was assigned and instead went to the ones he wanted，such as a dance class where he could enjoy both the creativity arid the chance to meet girls．"I would never have refused to take the courses you were supposed to，that's a difference in our personality．"said Wozniak surprisedly and admiringly．
Jobs also began to fed guilty about spending so much of his parents'money on an education that did not seem worthwhile．"All of my working-class parents'savings were being spent on my college tuition（学费）．"he detailed his experience in a famous ceremony address at Stanford．"I had  no idea what I wanted to do with my life and no idea how college was going to help me figure it out．And here I was spending all of the money my parents had saved their entire life．So I decided to drop out and trust that it  would all work out okay．"
He didn't actually want to leave Reed；he just wanted to quit paying tuition and taking classes that didn't interest him．Surprisingly，Reed tolerated that．"He had a very inquiring mind that was enormously attractive，"said the dean of students．Jack Dudman．"He refused to accept automatically received truths，and he wanted to examine everything himself．"Dudman allowed Jobs to audit classes and stay with friends in the dorms even after he stopped paying tuition．
"The minute I dropped out I could stop taking the required classes that didn't interest me  and begin dropping in on the ones that looked interesting．"he said．Among them was a calligraphy （书法）class that appealed to him after he saw posters on campus that were beautifully drawn．"I learned about serif and sans serif typefaces（字体），about varying the amount of space between different letter combinations，about what makes great typography great．It was beautiful historical，artistically fine in a way that science can't capture，and I found it fascinating．"
It was yet another example of Jobs consciously positioning himself at the intersection （相交点）of the arts and technology．In all of his products，technology would be married to great design，elegance，human touches-and even romance．*Mf I had never dropped in on that single course in college，the Mac would have never had so many typefaces．And since Windows just copied the Mac，it's likely that no personal computer would have them．"
Meanwhile Jobs had a hard time at Reed．He went barefoot most of I he time，wearing sandals when it snowed．Elizabeth Holmes made meals for him，trying to keep up with his obsessive diets．He returned soda bottles for spare change，continued his long hard journeys to the free Sunday dinners at the flare Krishna temple，and wore a down jacket in the heatless garage apartment he rented for $20 a month．When he needed money   he found work at the psychology department lab maintaining the electronic equipment that was used for animal behaviour experiments．Occasionally Chrisann Brennan would conic to visit．Their relationship developed abnormally．But mostly he tended to the beginning of his own soul and personal goal for enlightenment （开明）．
"I came of age at a magical time，he reflected later，"Our consciousness was raised by Zen，and also by LSD，Even later in life he would credit certain drugs for making him more enlightened．"Taking LSD was a valuable experience，one of the most important things in my life．LSD shows you that chores another side to the coin，and you can't remember it when it wears off．but you know it．It heightened my sense of what was important-creating wonderful things instead of making money，putting things back into the stream of history and of human consciousness as much as I could．"

9．Infomation  about  Special  Educational   Needs
Learn what to do if you think your child has Special Educational Needs （SEN）．
What Special Educational Needs？
Special  Educational  Needs is a legal term．It describes the needs of child who has a difficulty or disability which makes learning harder for them than for other children their age．
What if I think my child has SEN？
You know your child better than anyone else．If your child is pro-school，don't wait for their next routine health check：-visit your GP （全科医生）and ask for their opinion．If your child is already in school （including nursery），talk to their teacher．Ask also to speak to the school's Special Educational Needs Co-ordinator （SENCO），who organizes extra help for children with SEN．
What will the school do？
Schools are required by law to provide an education for all pupils，regardless of their ability or special needs．Every child's education h equally important．
If the SENCO an d your child's teacher agree that your child has SEN，the school will probably take a"graduated approach"this means"step-by-step"．They will offer your child extra support，with the possibility of more support if needed．

8．Hard work and lack of sleep have her beauty and youth in recent years．（　　）

7．Pilot，Doclor，Teacher．These are the answers given by girls at K  kenya's  it's Centre for Excellence （KCE） in the tiny，rural village of Enoosaeon．Kenya，when asked what they want to be when they grow up．These would not be unusual responses in the United States，but deep in Maasai country，like so many places around the world，the realiy  for girls is very different．
The founder of the school．Kakenya Ntaiya，grew up in a small house made of straw，mud，and dung with no running water or electricity．She was born in 1978．but does not know the exact day-her mother cannot remember．She was engaged （订婚） at age five to the six-year-old boy next door．
I met  Kakenya seven years ago when she was a youth advisor with UNFPA's Washington，D．C．，office，and her vision and tenacity （韧性）to effect change for girls in Kenya is just as clear and strong today as it was when I first met her，
Kakenya says she cannot remember a time when she did not work．By age ten Kakenya would come home from school*milk the cows，collect firewood and water，dean，take carc of her brothers and sisters，and cook dinner．She was expected to endure （忍受）female genital mutilation （FGM）（女性割礼）shortly after becoming mature，be married by the time she was fifteen，and immediately start bearing children．Her life would then consist of working to maintain her family，starting the same cycle over again for her daughters．
But Kakenya broke the cycle and is now helping hundreds  of girls in southern Kenya do the same．
Kakenya avoided FGM for several years by staying in school．but eventually her father insisted．She negotiated a trade．She would not receive FGM if she could finish high school．He agreed and．as Kakenya reflects．"One morning they take you to the cow corral and right there，in front of everybody，a grandmother comes and does it to you．You feel this horrible pain but you can't cry．"
After she graduated from high school，she convinced her village elders to allow her to attend college in the United States．The village helped collect funds for her and she promised to return and build a school，a hospital，a future for girls．She earned a Doctorate in Education from the University of Pittsburgh and fulfilled her promise．She returned and built Kakenyavs Centre for Excellence，a school that admits at-risk girls from the community．
KCE is a model for addressing the many challenges facing girls in the developing world．One of the first barriers that must be overcome is traditional attitudes．In 2006．the local chief said，MGirls arc for marriage，so there is no need to educate them．"Today he is an enthusiastic member of the Board of Trustees at KCE．
KCE is also a model for ending FGM and early marriage．More than 90percent of Maasai girls endure FGM，early marriage，and early childbearing-none at KCE do．School gives them a future and parents can see that keeping （hem in school has value．If all Maasai girls had access to quality schools，FGM and early marriage might disappear in a generation．Kakcnya also educates parents about the dangers of these practices and has them sign a written promise that they will not force FGM or early marriage on their daughters．
Kakcnya and the KCE have more to do．Currently，many girls fleeing FGM and early marriage end up in Kenya's cities alone and without resources．They face poverty and sexual exploitation．A rescue centre would give these girls safe harbor and assistance．Kakenya also wants to build a school dormitory so she can accept girls from outside the village．And as the first class of 8th graders graduates from KCE this December*Kakenya dreams of being able to provide every qualified graduate with the resources she needs to attend high school．
The girls at KCE accept no boundaries，and neither does Kakenya，Her approach is an effective and culturally sensitive model that could be copied elsewhere in Kenya and in the world．

Another day，another crash involving a Tesla．
On  Wednesday Tesla said one of its customers in Beijing was caught  unprepared  last week when his car，which had autopilot  enabled，sidcswiped another vehicle that was partially parked off the side of the road．The accident caused some damage，but nobody was hur．
Tesla's analysis of the vehicle data records showed that the driver didn't have his hands on the wheel．The driver doesn't appear to argue about that account，accusing Tesla salespeople of misleading him into thinking that the car had fully self-driving capabilities．
Here's how Tesla described the crash in a statement to The Washington Post：
The customers dash earn video shows that the Tesla was being driven on a highway in China where a vehicle was parked on the left shoulder straddling the left lane．The Tesla was following closely behind the car in front of it when the lead car moved to the right to avoid hitting the parked car-The driver of the Tesla，whose hands were oot detected on the steering wheel （方向盘），did not steer（转向）to avoid the parked car and instead scraped against its side．As clearly communicated to the driver in the vehicle．Autosteer is an assist feature that requires the driver to keep his hands on the steering wheel at all times，to always maintain control and responsibility for the vehicle，and to be prepared to take over at any time．
Considering the number of Tesla accidents that have made the news in the last three to four months，it's vital that drivers fully understand what Tesla's autopilot can and can t do．It's not like one of Google's driverless cars，where engineers hope passengers will someday be able to push a button，sit back and enjoy the ride．Tesla s autopilot is much closer to a form of advanced  cruise conlrol．
The autopilot feature was rolled out in October 2015．But unlike a fully driverless car-which the government would classify as"Level 4automation"一Tesla's  autopilot is designed to keep you within a lane，and from hitting other cars，under a limited set of circumstances．
Tesla is generally up  front in its marketing these days，reminding people  that autopilot is a driver-assist feature，not a driver automation feature．For instance，to  enable the automatic steering feature on a Tesla，drivers first have to click through a warning that appears on their car's screens．

61．We can conclude from the passage thatA．
A．Tesla accidents take place frequently
B．Tesla drivers need to be well trained
C．Tesla victims are fully compensated
D．Tesla market keeps shrinking steadily
62．The underlined  phrase"take over"in  Paragraph 5means"D"．

A．can run within a lane without bumping into other cars
B．might be in some potential danger on a busy highway
C．is completely con I rolled by some device while running
D．requires its driver to keep his hands on the steering wheel
64．The passage mainly tries to convince us thatB．
A．all drivers should park properly foreveryone's safety
B．the involved drivers are responsiblefor the accidents
C．Tesla salespeople haven't done their job well enough
D．Tesla must try to find ways to overcome its  drawback．

3．This story，based on the real life story that took place on Thursday，January 15th-2009 when the world witnesed the"Miracle （奇迹）on the Hudson"as Captain，Chesley Sullenbergert know，known  as"Sully"flew his disabled plane onto the cold waters of the Hudson River，saving the lives of all 155 aboard．However，even as Sully was being cheered by the public and the malia for his unique achievement of flying skill，an investigation was unfolding that threatened to destroy his reputation and his career．Tom Hanks acting the part of Sully is the heart and soul of this film．
Out of all the highly emotional films released this year so far．Sully is the best one，hands down．Out of all the nonfiction films released this year，Sully is the greatest．From extraordinary direding to emotional acting，Sully is easily one of the best films of this year．
Interestingly enough，although this film may have a few action scenes，it shouldn't be branded as an action movie．It's full-on intense drama，with two or three jokes that are original and fumny，but don't turn the film into a comedy．The story itself can also be considered an emotional and physical dramatic adventure I hat changes the lives of the characters forever．
Sully begins when US Airways Flight 1549 lands in the water in the Hudson River after both engines are destroyed by birds．Luckily，not one passenger is injured and this is due to the skill of both rescue teams and pilot Sully Sullenbrger （T om Hanks） and First Officer Jeffrey Skiles（ Aaron Eckhart）．Unfortunately，the nightmare （噩梦）is not over．Even though all passengers are in safety，it is still a major question if Sully should have landed the plane in the water and if he might have had enough speed and altitude to reach the runway at an actual airport．
This is a very famous story that happened in 2009，but many people do not know what happened after the plane water landed-Sully truly shows all the events of this flight．Another amazing aspect of the film is the acting．Both Tom Hanks and Aaron  Eckhart  play the  pilots wonderfully．Not only do the two look so much like the actual people，they also got their personalities right too．The two actors do well in the scenes where they keep imagining the crash，and it clearly affects them day after day，Clint Eastwood has directed manyfilms，but Sully is certainly one of his best．The story does not fed like it lasts 96minutes and I was surprised when it ended，Sully really does keep you on the edge of your seat using cinemalography-the art of making films that makes you feel like you are a part of the movie，acting that is emotional and  dramatic and even social effects that make it look very mil．Something to note，the film was shot with I MAX cameras so seeing it in I MAX theatres gives you the best possible experience．
My favourite scene is the actual plane crash．From taking off，to the passengers getting into rescue boats，this scene keeps your heart beating very fast，I personally suffer from a fear of flying and it pumped me full of adrenaline （肾上腺素） I could not blink （眨眼）until I found out  what happened next．The special  effects of the plane going down in the middle of New York looks very realistic and intense．On top of that，the emotional acting of not only the pilots，but the passengers and  the flight attendants brings even，more drama to the scene．It is easily the most intense scene in the whole film and，because of cinematography，it makes you feel like you are a part of it，is borderline scary．
Sully is very mature story And though it lacks adult content，language or blood，it is  prepared for a mature audience because of its intent and dramatic scenes．I definitely give Sully 5 out of 5 stars for Us extraordinary directing，wonderful cinematography^emotional acting and realistic special effects．
