　　On January fifteenth, two thousand and nine, the engines of a US Airways plane lost power shortly after its takeoff from LaGuardia Airport in New York City．The pilot reported a double bird strike－a rare event where birds enter both engines．

　　It happened so early in the flight, at a level of about nine hundred meters, that the crew had little time to decide what to do．Captain Chesley Sullenberger decided against landing at a small airport nearby or returning to LaGuardia．

　　Instead, he, his co-pilot Jeffrey Skiles and their three flight attendants prepared for a water landing．Captain Sullenberger carefully and smoothly guided the Airbus jet into the Hudson River．People watched from skyscrapers overlooking the near-freezing water．

　　The passengers and crew got onto the wings as water entered the plane and the aircraft floated downriver．Boats quickly came to the rescue of all one hundred fifty passengers on the flight．Captain Sullenberger walked through the plane twice to make sure everyone was off．

　　On January twenty-fourth, the pilot known as“Sully”was honored in his hometown of Danville, California．He told a crowd of thousands that he and his fellow crew members were just doing the job they were trained to do．

　　The former Air Force pilot had his fifty-eighth birthday a week ago．He has been flying for more than half his life and was unusually well prepared for the events that day in New York．For one thing, he is good at handling a powerless aircraft．He is a glider pilot in addition to flying big jets．But Chesley Sullenberger is also an expert on air safety, including accident investigations, and even has his own consulting business．

　　Steven Paul Jobs( February 24, 1955-October 5, 2011 )was an American businessman and inventor widely recognized as a charismatic pioneer of the personal computer revolution．He was co-founder, chairman and CEO of Apple Inc．Here are some most memorable quotes from Steven Paul Jobs, you can learn something from these quotes．

　　1．________

　　" You can' t connect the dots looking forward：you can only connect them looking backwards．So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future．You have to trust in something-your gut(内心), destiny, life, fortune, whatever．This method has never let me down, and it has made all the difference in my life．"

　　2．________

　　"I think if you do something and it turns out pretty good, then you should go do something else wonderful, not focus on it for too long．Just figure out what' s next．"

　　3．________

　　It takes these very simple-minded instructions? Go fetch a number, add it to this number, put the result there, perceive if it' s greater than this other number'? but computer executes(执行)them at a rate of, let' s say, 1,000,000 per second．At 1,000,000 per second, the results appear to be magic．"

　　4．________

　　"Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work．And the only way to do great work is to love what you do, If you haven't found it yet, keep looking．Don't settle．As with all matters of the heart, you'll know when you find it．And, like any great relationship, it just gets better and better as the years roll on．So keep looking until you find it．Don't settle．"

　　5．________

　　“No one wants to die．Even people who want to go to heaven don't want to die to get there．And yet death is the destination we all share．No one has ever escaped it．And that is as it should be, because death is very likely the single best invention of life．It is life' s change agent．It clears out the old to make way for the new．Right now the new is you, but someday not too long from now, you will gradually become the old and be cleared away．Sorry to be dramatic, but it is quite true．"

At one time, computers were expected largely to remove the need for paper copies of documents (文件) because they could be stored electronically. But for all the texts that are written, stored and sent electronically, a lot of them are still ending up on paper.

It is difficult to measure the quantity of paper used as a result of use of Internet?connected computers, although just about anyone who works in an office can tell you that when e-mail is introduced, the printers start working overtime.

  “I feel in my bones this revolution is causing more trees to be cut down," says Ted Smith of the Earth Village Organisation.

Perhaps the best sign of how computer and Internet use pushes up demand for paper comes from the high?tech industry itself, which sees printing as one of its most promising new markets. Several Internet companies have been set up to help small businesses print quality documents from a computer. Earlier this week Hewlett?Packard Co. announced a plan to develop new technologies that will enable people to print even more so they can get a hard copy of a business document, a medical record or just a one?line e?mail, even if they are nowhere near a computer. As the company sees it, the more use of the Internet the greater demand for printers.

Does all this mean environmental concerns (环境问题) have been forgotten? Some activists suggest people have been led to believe that a lot of dangers to the environment have gone away.“ I guess people believe that the problem is taken care of, because of recycling(回收利用)，" said Kelly Quirke, director of the Rainforest Action Network in San Francisco. Yet Quirke is hopeful that high?tech may also prove helpful. He says printers that print on both sides are growing in popularity. The action group has also found acceptable paper made from materials other than wood, such as agricultural waste.

1.The growing demand for paper in recent years is largely due to _______.

A.the rapid development of small businesses

B.the opening up of new markets

C.the printing of high quality copies

D.the increased use of the Internet 

2.Environmentalists believe one possible way of dealing with the paper situation is ________.

A.to encourage printing more quality documents

B.to develop new printers using recycled paper

C.to find new materials for making paper

D.to plant more fast?growing trees 

3.Hewlett?Packard Co. has decided to develop new technologies because  ________ .

A.people are concerned about the environment

B.printers in many offices are working overtime

C.small companies need more hard copies

D.they see a growing market for printers 

4.What would be the best title for the text?

A.Computers and Printers

B.E-mail and the Business World

C.Internet Revolution and Environment

D.Modern Technology and New Markets 

My grandson, Daniel, and I have always been very close. When Daniel’s father remarried after a divorce, Daniel, who was eleven, and his little sister, Kristie, came to live with us. My husband and I were more than happy to have kids in the house again.

    Things were going along just fine until the diabetes (糖尿病) I’ve lived with most of my adult life started affecting my eyes, and then more seriously, my kidneys (肾). Then everything seemed to fall apart.

    Three times a week, I had to go to the hospital to be hooked up to a dialysis machine (透析机). I was living, but I couldn’t really call it a life — it was an existence. I had no energy. I dragged myself through daily chores and slept as much as I could. My sense of humor seemed to disappear.

    Daniel, seventeen by then, was really affected by the change in me. He tried as hard as he could to make me laugh, to bring back the grandma who loved to clown around (开玩笑) with him. Even in my sorry state, Daniel could still bring a smile to my face.

    But things were not improving. After a year on dialysis, my condition was deteriorating (恶化) and the doctors felt that if I didn’t receive a kidney transplant within six months, I would surely die. No one told Daniel this, but he knew — he said all he had to do was look after me. To top it off, as my condition worsened, there was a chance that I would become too weak to have the transplant surgery at all, and then there would be nothing they could do for me. So we started the tense and desperate wait for a kidney.

    I was adamant (坚决的) that I didn’t want a kidney from anyone I knew. I would wait until an appropriate kidney became available, or I would literally die waiting. But Daniel had other plans. The time that he took me to my dialysis appointments, he did a little secret research on his own. Then he announced his intention to me.

    “Grandma, I’m giving you one of my kidneys. I’m young and I’m healthy …” He paused. He could see I wasn’t at all happy with his offer. He continued, almost in whisper, “And most of all, I couldn’t stand it if you weren’t around.” His face wore an expression of appeal mixed with determination. He can be as stubborn as a mule (驴) once he decides on something — but I’ve been told many times that I can out-stubborn any mule!

    We argued. I couldn’t let him do it. We both knew that if he gave up his kidney, he would also give up his life’s dream; to play football. It was all he ever talked about. And he was good, too. Daniel was co-captain and star defensive tackle (防守阻截队员) of his high school team; he expected to apply for a football scholarship and was looking forward to playing college football. He just loved the sport.

    “How can I let you throw away the thing that means the most to you?” I pleaded with him.

    “Grandma,” he said softly, “compared to your life, football means nothing to me.”

    After that, I couldn’t argue anymore. So we agreed to see if he was a good donor (捐赠者) match, and then we’d discuss it further. When the tests came back, they showed Daniel was a perfect match. That was it. I knew I wasn’t going to win that argument, so we scheduled the transplant.

    Both surgeries went smoothly. As soon as I came out of the anesthesia (麻醉) , I could tell things were different. I felt great! The nurses in the intensive care unit had to keep telling me to lie back and be quiet — I wasn’t supposed to be that lively! I was afraid to go to sleep, for fear I would break the spell (魔法) and wake up the way I had been before. But the good feeling didn’t go away, and I spent the evening joking and laughing with anyone who would listen. It was so wonderful to feel alive again.

    The next day they moved me out of ICU and onto the floor where Daniel was recuperating (复原) three doors away. His grandfather helped him walk down to see me as soon as I was moved into my room. When we saw each other, we did not know what to say. Holding hands, we just sat there and looked at each other for a long time, overwhelmed by the deep feeling of love that connected us.

    Finally, he spoke, “Was it worthwhile, grandma?”

    I laughed a little ruefully (懊悔). “It was for me! But was it for you?” I asked him.

    He nodded and smiled at me. “I’ve got my grandma back.”

    And I have my life back. It still amazes me. Every morning, when I wake up, I thank God —and Daniel — for this miracle. A miracle born of the purest love.
