【题目】 Attitude Is Everything Jerry was the kind of guy who was always in a good mood and always had something positive to say.

One day I asked him, “I don’t get it! You can’t be a positive person all of the time. How do you do it?” Jerry replied, “Each morning I wake up and say to myself, ‘Jerry, you have two choices today. You can choose to be in a bad mood or in a good mood.’ I choose to be in a good mood. Each time something bad happens, I can choose to be a victim or to learn from it. I choose to learn from it.” Soon thereafter, I left the city and we lost touch. Several years later, I heard Jerry did something surprising: he left the back door open one morning and was held up at gunpoint by three armed robbers. While trying to open the safe, his hand, shaking from nervousness, slipped off the combination. The robbers panicked and shot him. Luckily, Jerry survived. After 18 hours of surgery and weeks of care, Jerry was released from the hospital with pieces of the bullets(子弹) still in his body.

I saw Jerry six months after the accident. I asked him what had gone through his mind as the robbery took place. “The first thing through my mind was that I should have locked the back door,” Jerry replied. “Then, as I lay on the floor, I remembered that I had two choices: I could choose to live or to die. I chose to live. ”“Weren’t you scared?” I asked. Jerry continued, “The paramedics(护理人员) were great. They kept telling me I was going to be fine. But in the emergency room, the facial expressions of the doctors and nurses really scared me. In their eye, I read, ‘He’s a dead man.’ I knew I need to take actions.” “What did you do?” I asked. “Well, a nurse asked me if I was allergic to anything,” said Jerry.“The doctors and nurses stopped working as they waited for my reply. I took a deep breath and yelled, ‘Yes! Bullets!’ Over their laughter, I told them, ‘Operate on me as if I am alive, not dead.’”

【题目】There are a lot of reasons why people calling 911 might not be able to tell operators which floor they’re on in a high-rise building. They could be injured or simply confused. Yet precious minutes are wasted when emergency personnel have to search a building to find a person in need. With a new app called Sensory, emergency responders soon may be able to use a caller’s smartphone to locate his exact position in a building.

Columbia University researchers William Falcon and Henning Schulzrinne created Sensory using a two-step process. First, they used all existing smartphone features that help narrow down a caller’s location. All iPhones produced after 2014 already include GPS and altimeter(测高仪) that can help emergency responders determine if a person is outdoors or inside a building. But when it comes to tall buildings, just knowing a person’s altitude may not be enough,because the i distance between floors changes from one building to another.

So Falcon and Schulzrinne analysed the plans of figuring out the average distance between floors in residential(住宅的)buildings and office buildings among more than 1000 buildings in New York City. They tested their app in 63 experiments in five high-rise buildings and found that it could find a caller’s location within two floors with about a 91 percent accuracy.

In a survey conducted by Find Me 911 this year, dispatchers(调度员)said that they regularly received calls from people in need who often couldn’t share their location. They sometimes accidentally give the wrong address or floor number. Some callers are too young to know their address. Dispatchers also received calls from those who are deaf or have hearing problems and they often couldn’t hear the operator’s questions.

The new Sensory app could help shave precious minutes off the time it takes first responders to get to those calling for help. And it could make the difference between life and death.

1The new app Sensory can be used to .

A. provide emergency measures B. speed the connection to 911

C. locate emergency callers accurately D. improve the function of smartphones

2What can the Sensory’s first step help emergency responders do?

A. Make use of a smartphone’s sensors. B. Detect whether a caller is indoors.

C. Combine GPS and signal strength. D. Help callers speak clearly and accurately.

3What does Paragraph 4 really want to tell us?

A. The reasons for failing to get exact location.

B. The basic information about emergencies.

C. The potential danger of failing to rescue.

D. The different kinds of emergency callers.

4What is the author’s attitude to the new app?

A. Skeptical. B. Supportive. C. Unconcerned. D. Opposed.
