Rocky Lyons was five years old when his mother, Kelly, was driving along the country road with him. He was asleep on the front seat of their truck, with his feet resting on her lap. As his mom drove carefully down the winding country road, she turned onto a narrow bridge. The truck hit a rock and slid off the road. She attempted to bring it back up onto the road by pressing hard on the gas pedal（踏板）and turning the steering wheel to the left. But Rocky＇s foot got caught between her leg and the steering wheel and she lost control of the truck.

The truck fell into a 20-foot ravine（峡谷）．When it hit the bottom， Rocky woke up．“What happened, Mom?”  he asked. “Our wheels are pointing toward the sky.”

Rocky managed to push Kelly out of the truck and told her he'd climb up to the road and stop a car to get help. Fearing that no one would be able to see her little boy in the dark, Kelly refused to let him go alone. Instead they slowly moved up to the road. The pain was so great that Kelly wanted to give up, but Rocky wouldn't let her.

Rocky kept repeating the inspirational phrase, “I know you can. I know you can.” When they finally reached the road, Rocky broke into tears seeing his mother's torn face clearly for the first time. Waving his arms and shouting, “Please stop!” the boy stopped a truck. His mother was sent to hospital.

It took eight hours to rebuild Kelly's face. She looks quite different today-she has a few scars but has recovered from her injuries.

Rocky's heroics were big news. Everyone was surprised at this little boy's power. “It’s not like I wanted it to happen,” the boy explained. “I just did what anyone would have done.” “If it weren’t for Rocky, I'd have died,” said his mother.

British programmer Joshua Browder is helping people save much money on legal fees with his latest project-the world's first robot lawyer. The 19-year-old first started the project last summer as a free website to help people appeal unfair parking tickets. He came up with the idea after getting a series of tickets himself for unimportant reasons. Having wasted hours writing appeals to these tickets, he realized that many people have no time or legal knowledge to appeal So he decided to create a robot lawyer, which he named DoNotPay.

DoNotPay was a success, and the tech genius has gone a step further with the website. converting（转变）it into a robot lawyer equipped to help with various legal issues. “The robot can handle parking ticket appeals and delayed flights/ trains. It can also answer some general legal questions like ' I can't afford my ticket. What do I do?'” said Browder.

To use the service, users need to go to the website DoNotPay.co.uk and sign up for free. Once signed in, the robot will ask the user questions about their situation. When it has collected enough information, and if the person has legal grounds for an appeal, the robot will create a letter for the person to use.

Browder said he received good advice from his professors at Stanford University.  “Initially, I thought the best way to go about it was to create many individual rules for it to follow,” he explained. “However, I quickly failed with this approach because there are thousands of ways to say the same thing and it would be impossible to catch everyone. The breakthrough came when [learned how to create a way for the robot to learn and compare phrases itself, so that it doesn't matter how the user phrases his or her requests.”

So he programmed the robot to use text comparison that includes keywords, word order and pronouns. And the more people use the robot， the better the algorithm（演算法）gets. But here're situations where the robot can't help.” If the robot can't answer, it provides helpful massage offering the user some sample phrases or the choice of contacting me directly,”

Browder said. “On the backend, whenever the robot can't answer, I get noticed and work as quickly as possible to add functions for any future requests of a similar nature.”

“I think it does a reasonable job of replacing parking lawyers,”  Browder told Tech Insider. “I know there are thousands of programmers with more experience than me working on similar issues. If it is one day possible for any citizen to get the same standard of legal representation as a billionaire, how can that not be a good thing?”

28. What made Joshua Browder decide to develop the robot lawyer?

A.His interest in law and robot.

B.Being often fined for serious reasons.

C.Realizing people's need to write appeals.

D.A waste of much money in appealing.

29.What can the robot lawyer do at present?

A.Deal with some common legal issues.

B. Create a computer program to serve its users.

C.Recommend some useful legal websites to users.

D.Teach the users to write a letter of appeal.

30. What did Browder's professors advise him to do about his robot?

A.Store enough legal knowledge in it.

B.Teach it to communicate with its users.

C.Create enough individual rules for it to follow.

D.Enable it to learn and compare phrases on its own.

31.What is Browder's attitude to the world's first robot lawyer?

A.Unclear.

B.Cautious.

C.Proud.

D.Negative.

When you go to the desert with David Strayer，a cognitive（认知的）psychologist，don＇t be iurprised if he sticks electrodes（电极）to your head.

On the third day of a camping trip in Utah, Strayer explains the “three-day effect” to 22 psychology students. Our brains, he says, aren't tireless machines; they are easily tired by our fast-paced, increasingly digital lives. But when we slow down, stop the busywork, and seek out natural surroundings, we not only feel refreshed but also improve our mental performance. Strayer has demonstrated as much with a group of participants, who scored 50 percent higher on creative problem-solving tasks after three days of wilderness（荒野）backpacking.

Strayer＇s hypothesis（假设）is that being in nature allows the prefrontal cortex（前额皮质）， the brain's command center, to rest and recover, like an overused muscle. Strayer has his students put my head into a sort of bathing cap with 12 electrodes in it. Wires from them will send my brain's electrical signals to a recorder for analysis. Then  I walk carefully to a grassy bank along the San Juan River, where I'm supposed to think of nothing in particular, just watch the wide water flow by. I haven't looked at a computer or cell phone in days, and it's easy to forget for a few moments that I ever had them.

A few months after our Utah trip, Strayer's team sends me the results of my test, which shows my brain waves at a range of frequencies and confirms that the gentle beauty of the San Juan River succeeded in quieting my prefrontal cortex.

So far the other research subjects' results also confirm Strayer's hypothesis. But no study can offer a full explanation of the brain-on-nature experience; something mysterious will always remain, Strayer says, and perhaps that's as it should be. “At the end of the day,” he says, “we come out in nature not because science says it does something to us but because of how it makes us feel.”

32.Why do Strayer and his students go to the desert?

A.To relax themselves.

B.To conduct a study.

C.To learn about the desert.

D.To experience life without digital products.

33.What is the third paragraph mainly about?

A.Findings of Strayer's research.

B.Reason for Strayer's research.

C.Method for Strayer's research.

D.Purpose of Strayer's research.

34.What do we know about Strayer's hypothesis?

A.There is no convincing evidence for it.

B.No researchers show interest in it.

C.It has proved false.

D.A full explanation is needed for it.

35.What is the best title for the text?

A.Enjoy Yourself in Nature.

B.My Unique Experience in the Desert.

C.How Does Nature Inspire Creativity.

D.Is Nature Your Brain's Powerful Medicine.

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

Sometimes you just want to get away. Your older brother and his friends are constantly amped in front of the TV, your baby sister won't stay out of your room, and you want some time for yourself.

But when you get it-maybe at a friend's house for an all-weekend DVD marathon or on spring break at Disney World-you're surprised to find yourself missing the chaos at home a bit.

What's that all about? 36

When you’re homesick，you might feel nostalgic（怀念的）for familiar things like your family, friends, pets, house, or neighborhood. Homesickness isn't only for kids. 37Teens might get homesick when they leave home for the first extended period of time, like during a vacation with a friend's family.

Familiar surroundings, people, and routines provide people with a sense of security and comfort.  38Those homesick feelings are completely normal.

39 Others may feel physical symptoms, like stomachache or headache, or even become truly depressed. Most of the time, once the new surroundings and people become more familiar, feelings of homesickness go away. If you have additional stress in your life -like a divorce or a death in the family - homesickness can be more intense.

Almost everyone has felt homesick at some time. 40It means you have family and friends worth missing and a place you want to return to when your adventure away from home is over.

A.Practically everyone feels homesick from time to time, even adults.

B.In a new place, you may find yourself missing the comforts of home and loved ones.

C. Believe it or not, you're feeling homesick.

D.Remember that there's a good side to homesickness, too.

E.Luckily, homesickness is usually mild and doesn't last long.

F.Some people may only feel a little loneliness, sadness, or anxiety.

G.And you can do some things to make sure it doesn't spoil your fun.
