His father stopped, breathing heavily. “This is hard on you, but youve got to come through wi
24、th courage!“ He gently placed his hand on the boys shoulder. “Now, I dont know if I can make it without stopping every so often. Youre young, but youre strong and fast. Do you remember the way back from here to the road, if you had to go alone?“ Jeff flashed back to the painful scene of Mark, his se
25、venteen-year-old brother at their campsite. He was bitten by a snake yesterday. This morning he couldnt move, and the pain got worse. He needed medical attention right away. They had left their phone in the car, and it must have been out of power by then. Leaving Mark at the campsite and seeking hel
26、p was their only choice.“Jeff, could you do it?“Jeff looked to the end of the canyon, several miles away. He nodded and a plan began to take hold in his mind. “What is the name of that little town we stopped, Dad?“ There must be a hospital there.“Flint. We parked at the side of the road a few miles
27、out of Flint.“ Jeff nodded. Then they continued climbing. Stone by stone, they made their way up the canyon. Gradually, Jeffs father grew smaller and smaller in the distance. Jeff waved to him and then climbed toward the road. Two hours later, he finally reached the road and struggled toward the tow
28、n, almost exhausted.“Cant stop,“ he thought. “Marks in big trouble. Keep going.“ Suddenly, he saw a truck heading toward him. “Hey, mister!“ he shouted, waving both arms. He began to jog toward the truck, and then broke into a full-speed run.His chest was burning with every breath when the truck dri
29、ver stopped by him. Jeff explained breathlessly. The driver reached for his cellphone as soon as he heard about Mark. “Better get the helicopter in there,“ he said immediately. But Jeff wasnt sure about that because everything got unclear and then went black and quiet.Hours later, Jeff opened his ey
30、es to find his father on a chair nearby, “Youre a hero, son,“ his father said with a smile. “You had the helicopter sent into the canyon after Mark.

33、.19CIg Nobel PrizeHaving a meal is an easy and delightful process for most people. However, for a woodpecker（啄木鸟）, its not that simple. To get dinner, a woodpecker has to hit its head against a tree numerous times per day. Yet, amazingly, it never suffers any ill effects like brain damage. According
34、 to research, it is the woodpeckers thick head bones that protect it from the impact of the blows. For explaining that, Ivan Schwab won an Ig Nobel Prize.Ig Nobel Prizes are organized by The Annals of Improbable Research, an American magazine that celebrates the funny side of science. Each year, ten
35、 winners are awarded prizes in honor of their “achievements that first make people laugh, and then make them think“. Most of the award-winning research, like Schwabs, may seem unusual, but it usually grabs peoples attention indeed. And no matter how ridiculous the research sounds, people can find it
36、 inspiring and amusing.Brian Wansinks research might interest you. He took home an Ig Nobel Prize for looking into the influence of visual factors on peoples appetites. He used specially bowls that refilled with soup while people were eating. Since these people had no idea this was happening, they j
37、ust kept eating from these “bottomless bowls“. They said they didnt feel full because their bowls were not empty yet. People in this experiment ate 73 percent more soup than normal. Owing to these results, Wansink concluded that its not peoples stomachs that decide when they have eaten enough, but t
38、heir eyes.Ig Nobel Prizes also give attention to science and technology that is a part of our daily lives. Take the karaoke machine for example. Its inventor Daisuke Inoue was employed at a nightclub, playing the piano for the customers who wanted to sing. He wasnt skillful enough to play all the so
39、ngs properly. To clear up the problem, he created the karaoke machine. To Inoues surprise, the machine caused considerable changes in entertainment worldwide. The Ig Nobel Prize was awarded to Inoue not only because his invention was entertaining but also because it brought about “an entirely new wa
40、y for people to learn to tolerate each other.“These research results of Ig Nobel Prizes may not be as great as Edisons light bulb or Newtons laws of motion. However, they do show peoples willingness to take action and to try new ways to solve problems. According to Marc Abrahams, a founder of the Ig
41、 Nobel Prizes, “If you win one, it means that you have done something.“(1)Why did Ivan Schwab win an Ig Nobel Prize? A.His discovery can be applied in daily life. B.His research result benefits the environment. C.He invented a new way to avoid the impact of blows. D.He found why woodpeckers could be
42、 free from brain damage.(2)What is mainly talked about in Paragraph 3? A.Why Ig Nobel Prizes can get peoples trust. B.Why peoples eyes decide their stomachs. C.Why Wansink won an Ig Nobel Prize. D.Why visual research interests people.(3)The Ig Nobel Prize awarded to Daisuke Inoue suggests . A.Ig Nob
43、el Prizes inventions can easily become popular B.Ig Nobel Prize winners are familiar with entertainment C.most Ig Nobel Prizes inventions are created by accident D.Ig Nobel Prizes may go to inventions with global influence(4)What do the research results of Ig Nobel prizes have in common? A.They are
44、related to everyday life. B.They solve problems in peoples work. C.They seem unexpected but meaningful. D.They are ridiculous and hard to understand.20DSharentingIts the holiday season, the time when we connect with family and friends. Social media sites like Twitter and Facebook are full of festive
45、 pictures, featuring parents aching and sharing those special family moments, their childs wish list, and maybe even a cute video of their child dancing to “Jingle Bell Rock“ while wearing a diaper（尿片） and Santa hat. Swelling with pride, parents cant wait to get approval with a “thumbs up“ or better
46、 yet a personalized message on their treasured post.Adults should be able to post what they want online. However, when exposing family moments online, are they sharing too much information? Do parents have the right to share those cute now, but embarrassing later moments about kids? Have children wi
47、llingly given their agreement to sharing their cute but funny video online?A recent study found that 75% of parents turn to social media for parenting-related information and social support. There is even a term used to describe the overuse of sharing too much information about kids on social media:
48、 “sharenting“, Research also finds that “sharenting“ isnt going anywhere anytime soon. Whats troublesome is that a typical parent has about 150 Facebook friends and only a third of them are actual friends. So, that brings up good questions - Who are we really sharing our information with and why? Who knows when and where that photo could resurface in the future?While theres no reliable information on how young children feel about things posted online, we do have information about how teens feel. According to a report
