21、Three Japanese tourists taking a holiday in Australia got stuck when their GPS told them they could drive from the mainland to an island，failing to mention the 15 kilometres of water and mud in between．

  As they drove their hired car from Moreton Bay to nearby North Stradbroke Island，they started to notice the firm surface they were driving on giving way to the well-known bay mud．However, being confident that their GPS would direct them to a road soon，they decided to drive on，managing to travel around 500 metres before their car was up to its tires in mud．To make matters worse，the tide(潮汐)started to come in and soon forced them to seek help and abandon the vehicle．Just four hours later the car was trapped in,two metres of water—to the great amusement of onlookers on the shore and passengers on passing boats and ferries．

Yuzu Noda,21，said she was listening to the GPS and“it told us we could drive down there．It kept saying it would navigate(导航)us to a road．But we got stuck…there’s lots of mud．”She and her travel companions Tomonari Saeki，22，and Keita Osada,21，instead had to give up their plans for a day trip to the island and headed back to the Gold Coast of a lift from the RACQ tow truck(吊车)driver who was called to the trapped car．No such luck for the hired car though—after assessing the situation，no attempt was made to recover it. The students from Tokyo，who are due to return home tomorrow, said the experience would not put them off returning to Australia for another visit．Mr．Tomonari said，“It has rained every day on our six day holiday．Hopefully next time we come back it will be sunny.”

22、   Text messaging is a surprisingly good way to receive candid responses to sensitive questions, according to a new study to be presented this week at the annual meeting of the American Association for Public Opinion Research. “The preliminary (初步的) results of our study suggest that people are more likely to disclose sensitive information via text messages than in voice interviews,” says Fred Conrad, a psychologist at the University of Michigan Institute for Social Research.

“This is sort of surprising,” says Conrad, “since many people thought that texting would decrease the likelihood of disclosing sensitive information because it creates a persistent, visual record of questions and answers that others might see on your phone and in the cloud.”

With text, the researchers also found that people were less likely to engage in “satisficing”— a survey industry term referring to the common practice of giving good enough, easy answers. “We believe people give more precise answers via texting because there's just not the time pressure in a largely asynchronous (非同步的) mode like text that there is in phone interviews, ” says Conrad. “As a result, respondents are able to take longer to arrive at more accurate answers.”

Conrad conducted the study with Michael Schober, a professor of psychology at the New School for Social Research. “We're in the early stages of analyzing our findings,” says Schober. “But so far it seems that texting may reduce some respondents' tendency to shade the truth or to present themselves in the best possible light in an interview, even when they know it's a human interviewer they are communicating with via text. What we cannot yet be sure of is who is most likely to be disclosive in text. Is it different for frequent texters, or generational, for example? ”

For the study, the researchers recruited approximately 600 iPhone-users through Google Ads, offering them iTunes Store rewards to participate in the study. Their goals were to see whether responses to the same questions differed depending on several variables: whether the questions were asked via text or voice, whether a human or a computer asked the questions, and whether the environment, including the presence of other people and the likelihood of multitasking, affected the answers.

【1】The underlined word “candid” in Para.1 probably means _________.

A．straightforward

B．appropriate

C．ambiguous

D．objective

【2】We can learn from the passage that __________.

A．people fond of text messaging are more honest.

B．texting will give away less sensitive information.

C．different variables might affect the responses of messaging.

D．about 600 iPhone users have been awarded iTunes by researchers.

【3】Compared with phone interviews, texting has the strength that people could _________.

A．present their best to the interviewers

B．have more time to make a reply

C．pay less for sending a message

D．enjoy more freedom of speech

【4】Which is the best title for the passage?

A．Texting Downs Responses

B．Texting Exposes Identity

C．Texting Benefits Interviewees

D．Texting Ups Truthfulness

23、Rocky was a 65-pound dog. Rita was his eleven-year old owner. When Rocky was given to her, Rita immediately liked him. Whenever she was not in school,the two were always together and within touching distance. The family would lovingly call the pair “R and R”.

But Rocky had one shortcoming. He feared water very much because of a terrible experience. When he was at the age of seven weeks long before he met Rita,he was nearly drowned by a naughty boy who had been blamed by his father.

One late afternoon, Rita's mother took R and R to a shopping area near a lake. Rita was running along the wooden bridge over the water,enjoying the beautiful scenery around. Suddenly a boy on a bicycle hit Rita. She let out a cry of pain and fell into the lake.

Rita's mother was at the entrance of a store not far away. She rushed to the lake shouting for help. Rocky seemed to forget his fear and jumped into the water to save his owner. Rocky immediately swam to Rita and held her by the shoulder's clothes with his mouth. Rita's face was quickly out of the water and she could cough.Luckily,the water was calm,they were not far from the bank,and Rocky finally reached a depth where his feet were on solid ground. He pulled Rita hard until her head was completely out of the water, and then he stood beside her, licking (舔) her face.

Rita and her family firmly believed that it was only the big dog's love for the little girl that caused him to take action that might be life-dangerous.

24、Every morning, rain or shine, Ryder Kilam heads to the bus stop to wait for the bus to take him to school. But Ryder isn’t a typical kid—he lives his life in a wheelchair. Sometimes life gets a little challenging because he can’t wait inside and then run out to the bus when it comes. In his wheelchair, he had to be exposed to the rain, the wind, and the cold. His parents had created a shelter but it wasn't very strong and fell apart.

Ryder’s parents decided they would need to build a new shelter. But they had neither the resources nor the skill needed for the project. That's when Ryder’s dad, Tim, decided they should put a post online to see if anyone could help. The post caught the attention of a Construction Technology teacher, Dan McKena. He said they had done other similar projects before. It was very important for his students to learn not only the construction but being involved in the community dealing with people outside of the school environment. He was very surprised and grateful when three classes volunteered.

The students all worked together for a common goal and they really enjoyed knowing the end result and knowing where it’s going. This included a senior by the name of Mason Heald. He decided to make the shelter his senior project.

After weeks of work, the students finally completed the shelter. Now, Ryder Kilam has a warm and strong place to wait for the bus every morning. Life just got a little sweeter for him but this story is just a lovely reminder of how beautiful humanity can be when we help each other.
