11、owers, and similar “nice” pages have popped up at other schools. We spoke to Kevin about how he uses Twitter to combat cyberbullying.CHOICES: What made you decide to “tweet nice”?There was some nasty tweeting going on saying negative things about people at my school.

12、 the kids who were being attacked, as well as random people-just to give them a boost in confidence.CHOICES: How does it work? Do you get requests to mention certain people?People send me a direct message on Twitter, an I keep their message anomymous, so that people can look at it and think, “Wow, t
13、his could be anyone saying this about me.”CHOICES: Have your tweets stopped the cyberbullying?By praising other people by chance and using social networking or social media to encourage a positive attitude, its made cyberbullying uncool.

14、 when you give them that outlet, all the attention is taken away from the bullies.CHOICES: Were you surprised by all the positive responses and celebrity retweets youve gotten?Oh gosh, yes! It developed a lot more than I expected. It was so cool to see how other schools now have their own “nice” pag
15、es. CHOICES: How can other kids use social media for good?Perform random acts of kindness. Instead of looking through peoples pictures to tear them down, look at it in a different way.

18、he fact that one is sharing the road with vehicles that are increasingly getting larger and heaviver. A recent study proves that of the 1.27 million people that die in road traffic crashes each year, about half are walkers, motorcyclists and cyclists. Now there may be a solution that could provide a
19、t least some help to protect this helpless group-an airbag! If you are worried that this safety measure will involve you taking around a heavy package or worse still, wrapping yourself inside an ugly plastic bag, the bag is fitted not on the human , but on the outside of the vehicle.And,while there
20、are several versions of the idea in the works, the one most recently unveiled by Dutch car company TNO, seems to be the most advanced and ready to go into production.In the works since 2011, the airbag covers only the lower part of the windshield. This will provide the much needed buffer between the
21、 persons head and the pane of glass he/she would otherwise meet.The chain of events leading to an airbag cause are quite simple-a camera fitted beneath the rear-view mirror monitors the vehicles closeness to a walker or cyclist. Any contact with either one of them sets off the sensors in the cars bu
22、mper and quickly blows up the airbag. In addition to that the sensors also set off the cars automatic brake, reducing the chances of an even worse injury.In tests conducted using a model, the success of not getting injured after being hit by a car traveling at about 40km/h was about 50-50! While not
23、 perfect, it will still result in reducing the number of deaths by a huge amount.With TNO ready to license its technology to car makers and many more companies trying to develop similar concepts, we would not be surprised if outer airbags become a standard feature in every car pretty soon! 24.

26、s are safe for walkers and cyclists.D. Airbags are a solution to higher car accident rates.CWhenever something looks interesting or beautiful,theres a natural desire for us to capture and preserve it-which means,in this day and age,that we are likely to reach for our phones to take a picture.Though
27、this would seem to be an ideal solution, there are two big problems associated with taking pictures. Firstly, we are likely to be so busy taking pictures that we forget to look at the world whose beauty and interest encourages us to take a photograph in the first place. And secondly, because we feel
28、 the pictures are safely stored on our phones, we never get around to look at them, so sure are we that well get around to them one day.The first person to notice the problem was the English art critic, John ruskin. He was a keen traveler who realized that most tourists make a poor job of noticing o
29、r remembering the beautiful things they see. He argued that humans have a natural tendency to respond to beauty and desire to have it, but there are better and worse expressions of this desire. At worse, we get into buying souveniors or taking photographs. But in Ruskins eyes, theres just one thing
30、we should do - attempting to draw the interesting things we see, regardless of whether we happen to have any talent for doing so. Ruskin said,“Drawing can teach us to see: to notice properly rather than gaze absent-mindedly. In the process of recreating with our own hand what lies before our eyes, w
31、e naturally move from a position of observing beauty in a loose way to one where we acquire a deep understanding of its parts.” Ruskin deplored the blindness and hurry of modern tourists, especially those who prided themselves on travelling around the whole Europe in a week by train , “ No changing
32、of places at a hundred mile an hour will make us stronger, happier, or wiser. There was always more in the world than men could see if they ever walked slowly; they will see it no better for going fast. The really precious things are thoughts and sights, not pace.” 28. Acording to Paragraph 2,when t
33、aking pictures, people tend to _. A. find it hard to learn skills of taking good picturesB. find a good way to keep things in their mindsC. forget to appreciate something attractive on the spotD.have a chance to meet the challenge of new technology29. According to Ruskin, what should travelers do to
34、 best express their appreciation of and desire for something beautiful?A.To speak it out openly.B.To paint it immediately.C. To purchase it directly.D. To photograph it instantly30. From the fourth paragraph, we can infer that Ruskin encourages us to be _.A. creative and thoughtful B. active and adv
