However, Mr. Clark, Peter’s boss, was concerned and thought that it was time for him to retire. “You don’t have a choice here, Peter,” he said seriously. “We don’t want to invite any risk to the children who take your bus every day. We need a replacement at this stage.”
“But I have a perfect record,”argued Peter. “You know, for an elderly man like me, my job is the only thing that keeps me alive. I want to keep my job.”
“Would you take responsibility if something bad happened to those children ” Mr Clark said.
Peter thought it over and very reluctantly, he gave in to Mr. Clark’s request. Peter decided to retire a week later.

With trembling hands, Peter dialed 911 and rushed to help the children. Peter covered himself with his jacket and burst into the flaming bus. He took the children out of the burning bus one by one. Thankfully, the firefighters arrived soon and helped Peter, saving all students.
The next day, Peter saw the entire school gathered in front of his home. When Peter approached them, Mr. Clark started clapping and everyone joined him. “You are a hero, Peter! You saved the lives of those young children,” he said. “You are the best driver. We hope you can keep the job!”

Beth Bonness talked into the mirror as her hairstylist cut her hair. Bonness was telling a funny story about a trip to Rome. Suddenly, the stylist started moving her hands around in the mirror. “Beth. Beth. Beth. Can you hear me ” she said. Bonness asked her what was wrong. In her mind, the words were coming out of her mouth. But she could see in the mirror that her lips weren’t moving. She started seeing bursts of light in the sides of her vision (视野). Then suddenly, the sensations disappeared.
Tests indicated Bonness had a transient ischemic attack (短暂性脑缺血发作) (TlA). About a third of people who have a TIA go on to have a more serious stroke (中风) within a year.
Bonness said she was told it was a one-off incident, so she didn’t worry about future problems. Plus, only old people have strokes, she told herself. She was 49, healthy and fit. Even the doctors implied that she was too young to worry. But the same week, while having a meal with her family, she couldn’t speak clearly again.
Bonness went on disability for a few weeks, and returned to work full-time half a year later. In the beginning, she felt less confident about speaking. Later she threw herself into living as healthy as possible. In 2011, her doctor said she’d fully recovered. She stopped all stroke-related medication.
In 2014, Bonness retired. She ended up saving a historic craftsman-style home in her neighborhood by changing it into a small residential development. The process had so many twists and turns (意外的曲折变化) that Bonness began writing a book about her story.
Last year, she started sharing her writing. She also started a writing group for survivors of stroke and brain injury in the hope that they too might find the same insight (领悟) and comfort. “Maybe it’s about doing more talking and sharing,” she said. “Every experience you have, all that travels with you.”
8. What does paragraph 1 mainly tell us
A. The reason for Bonness’ catching TIA. B. The treatment course of Bonness’ TLA.
C. Bonness first experience of suffering TIA. D. Bonness’ chat with her hairstylist about TIA.
9. What did Bonness think of her TLA at the beginning
A. It would harm her eyesight. B. It was nothing to worry about.
C. It might be a deadly disease. D. It needed further examination.
10. Why did Bonness write her book
A. To buy her family a house. B. To have an active retirement.
C. To record some events in her life. D. To support a housing development.
11. What has Bonness done recently
A. She has traveled around the country. B. She has gathered material for her book.
C. She has helped look after those with TIA. D. She has encouraged survivors of TIA to write.
D
After inventing a life-saving device, a student is set to stand on the stage of the Global Innovation (创新) Challenge this fall.
Anna McCord, 13, won a top title at the National Innovator Challenge and has become the top story in the news. The National Innovator Challenge is a yearly competition that encourages and celebrates youth innovation where the top 10 inventions are chosen for “Top Innovator” honors. On July 3, the eighth-grader won “Top Innovator” for her invention, “Sea Me Here,” a device that makes anyone lost at sea more visible to the rescue team.
The “Sea Me Here” device is made from plastic and a metal ring. It can be stored in a small pocket or bag. When removed, it spreads into a much larger size behind the user, increasing visibility.
Anna said she came up with the idea for the device from her mother’s past diving experience. “My mom used to div e for a living and she would keep a white plastic bag in her pocket, so if she would ever get lost, she could stick it up on the surface,” Anna said. “I improved on that when she told me about it.”
Jeremy Brannon, Anna’s earth and life science teacher, said when Anna told him about her project, he was impressed. Brannon added that Ann a was independent with her project, asking for guidance only when needed.
The project took six months, Ann a said. “Everyone liked it... I got some good questions, and it helped me improve on the device,” Anna said.
Anna believes her invention has a bright future ahead. “The end goal would probably be to have it built into life jackets, so you could have it at anytime,” she said. “If you had a life jacket on you and you were lost at sea, you could just pop it out.”
12. Why was Anna in the news
A. She won an honor in a national event.
B. She entered an international competition.
C. She became the youngest inventor in her school.
D. She saved a person’s life with an innovative device.
13. What can Anna’s invention be used for
A. Making reusable plastic bags.
B. Collecting plastic waste from the sea.
C. Protecting the safety of rescue workers.
D. Helping rescue workers find people lost at sea.
14. Where did Anna get the idea for her invention
A. From her teacher’s science class.
B. From her mother’s diving practice.
C. From her mother’s traveling stories.
D. From one of her diving experiences.
15. Which words can best describe Anna
A. Hardworking and polite. B. Warm-hearted and gifted.
C. Confident and smart. D. Humorous and honest.

Beth Bonness talked into the mirror as her hairstylist cut her hair. Bonness was telling a funny story about a trip to Rome. Suddenly, the stylist started moving her hands around in the mirror. “Beth. Beth. Beth. Can you hear me ” she said. Bonness asked her what was wrong. In her mind, the words were coming out of her mouth. But she could see in the mirror that her lips weren’t moving. She started seeing bursts of light in the sides of her vision (视野). Then suddenly, the sensations disappeared.
Tests indicated Bonness had a transient ischemic attack (短暂性脑缺血发作) (TlA). About a third of people who have a TIA go on to have a more serious stroke (中风) within a year.
Bonness said she was told it was a one-off incident, so she didn’t worry about future problems. Plus, only old people have strokes, she told herself. She was 49, healthy and fit. Even the doctors implied that she was too young to worry. But the same week, while having a meal with her family, she couldn’t speak clearly again.
Bonness went on disability for a few weeks, and returned to work full-time half a year later. In the beginning, she felt less confident about speaking. Later she threw herself into living as healthy as possible. In 2011, her doctor said she’d fully recovered. She stopped all stroke-related medication.
In 2014, Bonness retired. She ended up saving a historic craftsman-style home in her neighborhood by changing it into a small residential development. The process had so many twists and turns (意外的曲折变化) that Bonness began writing a book about her story.
Last year, she started sharing her writing. She also started a writing group for survivors of stroke and brain injury in the hope that they too might find the same insight (领悟) and comfort. “Maybe it’s about doing more talking and sharing,” she said. “Every experience you have, all that travels with you.”
8. What does paragraph 1 mainly tell us
A. The reason for Bonness’ catching TIA. B. The treatment course of Bonness’ TLA.
C. Bonness first experience of suffering TIA. D. Bonness’ chat with her hairstylist about TIA.
9. What did Bonness think of her TLA at the beginning
A. It would harm her eyesight. B. It was nothing to worry about.
C. It might be a deadly disease. D. It needed further examination.
10. Why did Bonness write her book
A. To buy her family a house. B. To have an active retirement.
C. To record some events in her life. D. To support a housing development.
11. What has Bonness done recently
A. She has traveled around the country. B. She has gathered material for her book.
C. She has helped look after those with TIA. D. She has encouraged survivors of TIA to write.
【答案】8. C 9. B 10. C 11. D

After inventing a life-saving device, a student is set to stand on the stage of the Global Innovation (创新) Challenge this fall.
Anna McCord, 13, won a top title at the National Innovator Challenge and has become the top story in the news. The National Innovator Challenge is a yearly competition that encourages and celebrates youth innovation where the top 10 inventions are chosen for “Top Innovator” honors.

The “Sea Me Here” device is made from plastic and a metal ring. It can be stored in a small pocket or bag. When removed, it spreads into a much larger size behind the user, increasing visibility.

Jeremy Brannon, Anna’s earth and life science teacher, said when Anna told him about her project, he was impressed. Brannon added that Ann a was independent with her project, asking for guidance only when needed.
The project took six months, Ann a said. “Everyone liked it... I got some good questions, and it helped me improve on the device,” Anna said.
Anna believes her invention has a bright future ahead. “The end goal would probably be to have it built into life jackets, so you could have it at anytime,” she said. “If you had a life jacket on you and you were lost at sea, you could just pop it out.”
12. Why was Anna in the news
A. She won an honor in a national event.
B. She entered an international competition.
C. She became the youngest inventor in her school.
D. She saved a person’s life with an innovative device.
13. What can Anna’s invention be used for
