10、hlete I often went for a run by myself. While running along a canyon (峡谷) road, I hit a piece of ice. I slipped down the rock face and fell 60 feet into the canyon, landing on a ledge (岩脊). Taz found his way to me, so I knew there must be a way out of the canyon, but I couldnt stand, as I had broken

11、 an important bone.I shouted for help but then decided to move to the bottom of the canyon first. The ledge was too dangerous to stay. It took me five hours to go a quarter of a mile. Eventually it got dark, and I decided to stay where I was for the night, next to a puddle of water. All I had on me

12、was a water bottle and some chocolates. At night, I avoided sleeping for fear of dying of hypothermia (低体温症). Taz stayed with me, providing some warmth. The next morning, I couldnt move at all. But I was sure somebody would hear me screaming for help. The second night in the canyon seemed even colde

13、r. My feet were frostbitten (冻伤). On the third day, I accepted the fact that I might die. I called Taz over and told him to go and get help.Taz returned, alone. Then I heard an engine in the distance. I started shouting for help, and then I saw a man walking towards me. It turned out that my neighbo

14、r noticed I hadnt come home, and Taz had found the rescue team. I was airlifted to hospital, where doctors found I was seriously wounded, having lost half of my blood.Five years on, I still think about the experience. I couldnt run like I used to due to the after-effects of the accident, and cold we

15、ather brings back bad memories, but Im married with two kids, and Taz is still alive. Realizing you have a second chance to live puts things into perspective.21.

The rescue team was required by the authors neighbor.BA new research, presented on Monday, suggests that parents who go down slides with their kids are actually making slides even riskier for their little ones

18、.Led by Dr. Charles Jennissen, a professor at the University of Iowa, the research found that placing children (especially infants and toddlers蹒跚学步的小孩) on adult laps increases the risk of injury to their lower legs, includingbroken bones.Ive seen a lot of these injuries all through my career, and I

19、hadnt seen anybody talk about this problem, says Jennissen.So Jennissen and his colleagues found that about 350,000 children under the age of six were injured on slides in the U.S. from 2002 to 2015. Injuries were most common among kids from 12-23 months of age, and the most common injury was lower

20、leg fractures (骨折).The researchers found that 94 percent of 600 cases include lower leg injuries. This is important, because thats not how a kid falling off a slide alone would usually get hurt. The fact that so many kids are getting lower leg injuriesand that those injuries seem to get less common

21、as kids get oldersuggests something else is at play.Jennissen thinks that when children are sliding alone, they arent going fast enough or carrying enough body weight to hurt themselves. When theyre sitting on an adults lap and their foot gets caught, they have the added momentum of anadult body.We

22、think a lot of these lower extremity injuries are because theyre on the lap, says Jennissen. We dont know that for sure, because no parents say that. But from my experience, and the data that suggests it, we think almost all of these are kids are on the lap.Jennissen isnt arguing that you should nev

23、er go down the slide with your kidhe agrees that its fun and that hes done it with his own kidsbut he thinks adults should realize the risks.24.

The underlined phrase at play in Para.5 probably means _. A. taking effect B. paying attention C. making efforts D. solving problems26. What

25、is Jennissens attitude towards parents going down slides with kids? A. He supports it. B. He is against it. C. He is careful about it. D. He doesnt care about it.CWalmart will soon use 360 robot cleaners across a few hundred of its stores. Using maps input by human employees, the AI-powered cleaners

26、 will travel in the store with no difficulty, sweeping the floor-just as human employees used to do.Perhaps the most striking thing about these robot workers is how not-striking they are. Sci-fi movies suggest a future full of human-like robots who appear with their horrible qualities. Now the futur

27、e is coming into view, and it looks like a giant lie. Its easy to imagine walking past an Auto-C on a shopping trip without even noticing its presence.AI has already started to become a part of our everyday life. In New Jersey this week, dozens of workers were hospitalized after a robot at an Amazon

28、 fulfillment centre accidentally broke a can and enveloped workers in eye-and-lung-damaging gas. Days earlier in California, an auto-piloted Tesla drove a drunk, sleeping driver down a highway, which no doubt did some potential risk to the other drivers on the road. Highway patrol officers figured o

29、ut on the spot how to stop the AI car.Of course, industrial accidents and drunk drivers existed well before AI. Tools with the power to release the burden of physical laborhorses, steam machines, self-driving carsalso come with the power to injure. And the presence of AI-powered machines just steps

30、away from us is, for now, still a rare thing for most people.But the nature of robots coming into our daily life lives will make it harder to recognizeor object tothe bigger changes they bring later. Walmart insists that the robot cleaners give employees more time for customer service and other task

31、s. Critics point out that they could just as easily become an excuse to reduce staff and wages.27. What is the difference between sci-fi movies and the reality? A.
