A
A city bus driver was praised as a hero after he jumped off his bus and snatched a 3-year-old girl from traffic. The bus security cameras showed the girl getting off the bus with a cheery “Bye!” and walking straight into traffic on a busy street. Chris Leslie, 38, is pictured running out the door after her. One view from the bus cameras showed a car making a rapid stop directly in front of Leslie and the girl last week.
“As I grabbed her, I looked as I pulled her back and luckily the car in the next lane had stopped,” he said. “It was probably the first time in my life I was in the right place at the right time.” The girl’s mother was busy in the bus with another child in a stroller (折叠式婴儿车) and the toddler didn’t hear a command to wait. Leslie said the mother and the daughter were still hugging at the bus stop when he pulled away.
Leslie’s wife, Cara, said she knew something had happened when her husband returned home from work that night. She said he immediately grabbed their 2-year-old daughter, Hannah, and gave her a long hug. “He was really scared by it all,” she said. “It’s pretty special,” said general manager of City Utilities, John Twitty. “He put his own life on the line.”
Leslie, an eight-year CU veteran, earned the Driver of the Year award last year. His boss, transit manager Carol Cruise, said the utility’s rules won’t allow him to win it two years in a row (连续两年). “But there’s no reason he couldn’t win it the year after that.”

B
What do people do with their old, perfectly useable but outdated computers? Most people don’t know what to do with them. Many old computers end up gathering dust in homes, and many more are simply thrown out with the trash.
Finally, some companies are thinking of ways to reduce the amount of computer junk. Sony has agreed to help recycle old Sony products. Dell, Hewlett-Packard and others now also take back some equipment.
Laws are being passed, too. In Europe, computer companies will have to pay for collecting and recycling their used products. And 70 per cent of computer waste must be recycled. The idea behind the laws is that computer companies themselves should pay the cost. That will encourage them to design equipment that is much easier and cheaper to repair and upgrade.
Yet while many people are throwing away good computers, others cannot afford them at all. Hundreds of organizations are working to solve this problem. These groups collect and repair old computers. Some also teach computer repair skills.
The computers then go to schools, charities (慈善团体) and needy individuals. Giving a used computer to one of these organizations can turn one person’s trash into someone else’s treasure. What’s more, it can also cut down on waste.
( )6. Many old computers end up gathering dust in homes because ____.
A. they are useless B. they are not covered
C. they are outdated D. their owners are lazy
( )7. How do computer companies help deal with computer waste?
A. By recycling used equipment. B. By reducing the cost of their products.
C. By helping repair old computers. D. By improving their products.
( )8. Computer companies will design equipment that is easier and cheaper to repair and upgrade in order to ____.
A. lower their cost B. obey the laws C. protect the environment
D. recycle their used products
( )9. Recycling used computers can lead to the following EXCEPT ____.
A. environment protection B. wide use of computers
C. the reduction of computer junk D. competitions among computer companies
( )10. What would be the best title for the passage?
A. The Influence of Computer Junk B. Computer Trash or Dreamed Treasure?
C. Changes in Computer Design D. Efforts to Recycle Old Computers
