　　One evening，June Griffith was on her way to pick up her son．Almost immediately，she real-

　　ized that she had gone the wrong way．She’d driven onto railroad tracks and the underside of her car was caught．

　　As Griffith tried to remove the car，its headlights attracted the attention of a passer-by，Jordan Ricks，a college student．He ran over．

　　Ricks，22，tried to appear calm as he instructed Griffith to remove the car．Both of them could now see the wheel between the rails and the uneven track bed．Ricks put his hands under the front fender (挡泥板)and gave it a push．It didn’t move．

　　He pushed it again with all his strength．Still，no movement．

　　From about 50 feet away，a group of students from the nearby university watched the scene．

　　Ricks signaled to．them，and five of the guys came over．

　　He directed them to different sides of the car，and they all put their hands under the flame．

　　“One，two，three” Ricks yelled．They all pushed．

　　“One，two，three!” he yelled again．The car didn’t move．

　　At that moment，they felt the ground begin to shake．Then four dings (叮当声)signaled an on coming train，apd the railroad gates dropped down．In the distance，an unclear line of light ap-

　　peared，followed by the loud noise of a horn (汽笛)．

　　The guys started yelling，“Get out of the car!Get out of the car!”But Griffith felt paralyzed．

　　When Griffith glanced in the mirror，she saw the train lights approaching．But she worried that the

　　Arthritis (关节炎) in her feet would prevent her from escaping in time and that her car would be

　　damaged．One of the students，Tommy Stackhouse，20，saw her shocked face and knew he had to act．He reached for the car door and forced it open．

　　The train was just a few hundred feet away．In the last few seconds，Stackhouse grasped

　　Griffith’s arm and pulled her from the car．His friend，Frank DiPietrapaul，18，grasped her other

　　arm，and．the pair pulled Griffith aside．

　　They watched as the train crashed into the car，cutting it into half its original size and sending metal pieces flying．Griffith sat crying as the police arrived and sorted through the ruins and wrote her a ticket for no attention to driving．Eventually，the students went home．

　　A few days later，a reporter asked the young men and Griffith to reunite at a local coffee shop．There a tearful Griffith hugged her rescuers．”These boys are heroes,”she would later tell anyone who would listen．”They saved my life．”

　　Ricks feels only grateful for the outcome．”It was one of those moments，” he says，”when we could have been gone together．It makes you think how precious life is．”

　　In people's minds, Beijing women are taller, bold, and uninhibited, while Shanghai women are smaller in figure, and always speak in a soft voice． The image（形象．）of Beijing women is usually bigger than Shanghai women's． However, it turns out to be just the other way round after I have worked in Beijing for some time．

　　Everybody goes Dutch in Shanghai; even at a grand party, but in Beijing it' s often the men' s treat． And it is also impossible to invite a female friend who already has a boyfriend or a young married woman out, even if you promise to see her home that night..

　　The conditions of the men in Beijing are no better at all． All their cellphones will ring one after another at 12 o'clock sharp at night． The voice on the other end is usually loud enough for anyone nearby to hear． "Where have you been? Do you remember that you've got a home? Now who's with you?" and these three sentences are usually the main parts of the call．

　　Shanghai women could never understand

　　this． If it' s a Shanghai woman who shouts in the phone, the Shanghai man on the other end must think that she is crazy （or drunk, perhaps）． The Shanghainese go Dutch in life, and they appreciate the independence in both economic and love affairs．

　　Many of my friend girls in Shanghai are office ladies with very high income． The tiredness of life cannot kill their pride in saying: "I don't depend on any men．" Thus no men can command them, for example, to force them to come back home before 10 pm． Beijingers do not admire the Shanghai way of life, anyhow． How can a couple be addressed as "a couple" when they don't know where the other has been last night? They wondered．

　　B． are treated the same as Shanghai men

　　D． often stay out late at night

　　67． Shanghai women could never understand why ______．

　　A． Beijing men behave like that

　　Targeting teens

　　Using the web makes teens a target. Posting too much personal information for those millions of cyber eyes to see can cause some big problems and can even invite a threat to your life.

　　As Mary learned, not everyone on the Internet is who he or she says they are. Adults will sometimes pose as other teens, posting fake photos and nice messages to gain trust. They use their fake identity to access the personal information of others, such as home address, phone number, or school name.

　　“That’s not the most common scenario(一系列可能发生事件),” says David Finkelhor , a sociology

　　professor at the University of New Hampshire. “Only 3 percent of teens aged 10 to 18

　　who use the Internet report being asked to meet offline. But the danger is real.”

　　Safety measures

　　Mary’s Myspace profile is set to “private”, which means that only the people she adds under the “friend” category can access her page. She also doesn’t have any pictures of herself on her site. The only self-identifying material she has posted is her name, grade, and a list of hobbies.

　　Stay safe and have fun online

　　Experts say almost 90 percent of U.S. teens online. But not everyone knows how to surf the web in a smart way. With these tips, you can have fun, stay safe, and avoid embarrassment!

　　●Pick a safe password. Make sure your password is something that other people won’t be able to guess.

　　●Pick a safe username. Make sure yours doesn’t say too much about you, “Happy girl 13” is better than “Alice Waters 13”. Don’t include your name, age, or where you are from. Never tell a stranger your name, school, address, age, birthday, phone number, or friends’ name.

　　68.The underlined word “invite” in the first paragraph has the same meaning as______________.

　　A．demand

　　B．require

　　C．wish

　　D．cause

　　69. In Mary’s opinion, ______________.

　　A. one shouldn’t trust anyone online

　　C. there are many liars online

　　D. all people online pretend to be others

　　A. one should not chat with strangers

　　B. one should not post his or her photos online

　　C .one should tell his parents about strange information

　　D. one should keep his information as a secret.

　　71. Why are numbers in letters used when we pick a safe password?

　　A. Numbers are easy to write

　　B. Using numbers are cool online

　　C. Numbers are popular online

　　D. The safe password is more unlikely to be guessed

　　In a world with limited land, water and other natural resources （资源）, the harm from the traditional business model is on the rise．Actually, the past decades has seen more and more forests disappearing and globe becoming increasingly warm．People now realize that this unhealthy situation must be changed, and that we must be able to develop in sustainable （可持续的） ways．That means growth with low carbon or development of sustainable products．In other words, we should keep the earth healthy while using its supply of natural resources．

　　Today, sustainable development is a proper trend in many countries．According to a recent study, the global market for low-carbon energy will become three times bigger over the next decades．China, for example, has set its mind on leading that market, hoping to seize chances in the new round of the global energy revolution．It is now trying hard to make full use of wind and solar energy, and is spending a huge amount of money making electric cars and high-speed trains．In addition, we are also seeing great growth in the global markets for sustainable products such as palm oil （棕榈油）， which is produced without cutting down valuable rainforest．In recent years the markets for sustainable products have grown by more than 50%．

　　Governments can fully develop the potential of these new markets．First, they can set high targets for reducing carbon emissions （排放） and targets for saving and reusing energy．Besides, stronger arrangement of public resources like forests can also help to speed up the development．Finally, governments can avoid the huge expenses that are taking us in the wrong direction, and redirecting some of those expenses can accelerate the change from traditional model to a sustainable one．

　　The major challenge of this century is to find ways to meet the needs of growing population within the limits if this single planet．That is no small task, but it offers abundant new chances for sustainable product industries．
