The lines were underwater. We couldnt make a fire .Early on St. Patricks Day, it was rainy and warm. That afternoon,

12、 a policeman drove a fire truck by our houses and shouted, “Run to the the hills! The dam might break.” Our father told us to get our coats and get into the car. Many of our neighbors traveled by car, but some walked. Johnstown had built an incline , an elevated railroad car , many years ago to take

13、 people to high ground. Everyone was in a hurry.At daybreak, we returned to the home. The dam did not break.

17、 away BTeen drivers, be careful: Mum and Dad will soon know exactly how fast and how far you drove their car. And if you dont use the seat belt, dont even think about turning on the stereo, which allows you to listen to the music in your car. At the 2015 New Year International Auto Show, American ca

18、r maker Chevrolet gives your parents the power to check on your driving. The“Teen Driver” feature（特征）appears with the 2016 Chevrolet Malibu, a new type of mid-size car.

19、hed and distance driven. Chevrolet isnt the first car maker to offer such technology. For example, Ford has a similar system called MyKey. But “ the industry is moving toward highly developed controls over a teens driving,” said Andy Gryc, a car technology expert. Chevrolet said it is a safety need.

20、 “Teens are more likely to be involved in a car accident, so many parents were asking us to bring something to market that can teach safe driving habits,” said Chevrolet communications manager Chad Lyons. Teens are three times more likely to die in traffic accidents than grown-ups, according to the

21、Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS). Lyons thinks that a big problem is distracted（注意力分散）driving, such as texting or listening to music.

A new type of fast-speed car.CMany of us have heard stories about teachers who can see into a students future. Even if a student is not performing well, the

25、y can predict success. We are convinced that this ability, this gift, is evidence that they were called to teach. If the gift of sight is evidence, how greater must be the gift of touch. I have a story. I grew up in the fifties in a poor African American neighborhood in Stockton, California. It was

26、at Fair Oaks Elementary School, in a sixth grade English class, that I met Ms.Victoria Hunter, a teacher who had a huge influence on my life. During reading periods, she would walk around the room, stop at our desks, stand over us for a second or two, and then touch us. Without saying anything to us

27、 (nothing could break the silence of reading periods), she would place two fingers lightly on our throats and hold them there for seconds. I learned many years later when I was a student at Stanford University that teachers touch the throat of students to check for sub-vocalization(默读), which slows

28、down the reading speed. I did not know at the time why Ms. Hunter was touching our throats, but I was a serious and respectful student and so, during silent reading period, I did what Ms. Hunter told us to do. I kept my eyes on the material I was reading and waited for her to place her fingers light

29、ly on my throat.She touched me with her hands. She also touched me with her belief in my ability to achieve. She motivated me by demanding the best from me and by letting teachers I would meet in junior high school know that I should be challenged and that I would be serious about my work. I am conv

32、es even as it touches me: a necklace to which I can add charms（小饰物） for each stage of my life.28. According to the writer, what is a special ability many good teachers possess? A. The ability to make all students behave well. B. The ability to treat different students in the same way. C. The ability to discover a students potential to succeed. D. The
