Medha Gupta smetimes felt wrried abut making the 20-minute walk frm the crner where the schl bus drpped her ff t her hme in Herndn,Va.—especially during the clder mnths in winter.
Her mther, Divya Gupta had a suggestin: write an app. She was half-kidding, but Medha didn’t take the challenge lightly.S she set ut t wrk.
The result was Safe Travel, an app designed by Medha t help walkers feel mre secure when they are travelling alne. Using the iPhne, a persn can prgram it t send a warning t smene he r she trusts if he r she fails t arrive at a destinatin within a certain time.

Medha said it tk her abut 40 hurs t design, prgram and test the app.As fr her next app? Medha’s nt certain. She temprarily has her app-develpment ambitins n hld because she’s busy teaching herself artificial intelligence t help deal with imprper wrds n scial media platfrms.Yes,she knws that there are teams f engineers prbably ding the same thing.But she figures it can’t hurt her wn part,t.
“If we see smething wrng with the wrld,we shuld d smething abut it,” she said.“After all,the nly ne stpping us frm ding smething is urselves.”
1. Why did Medha Gupta feel wrried?

The plane had arrived 25 minutes late, and peple walked in line t get their seats. The cnductr wanted t knw if there were peple traveling tgether, s I went t the frnt f the line with the girl and we were arranged t sit next t each ther. Once n bard, I shwed her where t put her package, and tk her t the bathrm area. Then we settled dwn t sleep. In the mrning, I shwed her the dining rm and bught her a drink.

Thrughut the trip, I made sure she picked up her ID, which had fallen ut f her backpack, and sme mney, which had fallen int the crack (缝隙) f the reclining seat, and cntinuusly kept an eye n her. I hpe smene takes her under their wing when she flies back t Sacrament.
I d hpe that kindness will spread arund the wrld thrugh these ways. We’re cnditined t think that ur lives g n with great mments. But great mments ften catch us unaware, beautifully wrapped (包裹) in what thers may cnsider a small ne.

Priscilla Ouchida’s “energy efficient” huse turned ut t be a hrrible dream. When she and her engineer husband married a few years ag, they built a $100,000 three-bedrm hme in Califrnia. Tightly sealed t prevent air leaks, the huse was equipped with small duble-paned windws and several ther energy-saving features. Prblems began as sn as the cuple mved in, hwever. Priscilla’s eyes burned. Her thrat was cnstantly dry. She suffered frm headaches and culd hardly sleep. It was as thugh she had suddenly develped a strange illness.
Experts finally traced the cause f her illness. The level f frmaldehyde gas in her kitchen was twice the maximum allwed by federal standards fr chemical wrkers. The surce f the gas? Her new kitchen cabinets and wall-t-wall carpeting.
The Ouchidas are victims f indr air pllutin, which is nt given sufficient attentin partly because f the natin’s drive t save energy. The prblem itself isn’t new. “The indr envirnment was dirty lng befre energy cnservatin came alng,” says Mschandreas, a pllutin scientist at Gemet Technlgies in Maryland. “Energy cnservatin has tended t accentuate the situatin in sme cases.”
The prblem appears t be mre trublesme in newly cnstructed hmes rather than ld nes. Back in the days when energy was cheap, hme builders didn’t wrry much abut unsealed cracks. Because f such leaks, the air in an average hme was replaced by fresh utdr air abut nce an hur. As a result, the pllutants generated in mst husehlds seldm built up t dangerus levels.
1. It can be learned frm the passage that the Ouchidas’ huse ________.
2. What made the Ouchidas’ new huse a hrrible dream?
3. The wrd “accentuate” (Para. 3) mst prbably means “________”.
4. Why were cracks in ld huses nt a big cncern?

It was a sunny afternn in June f 2022 when 20-year-ld Anthny Perry stepped ff the train at Chicag’s 69th Street statin. On the platfrm, tw men were fighting bitterly. Then the unthinkable happened: the pair fell ver the edge and nt the tracks. One man ended up n his back. Suddenly, he started cnvulsing (抽搐) unnaturally. He had fallen n the third rail, the cnduit (导线管) fr the 600 vlts f electricity that pwers Chicag’s L trains. The aggressr leaped backward, bunded back up nt the platfrm and disappeared.
Perry culdn’t just stand there and watch. He sat at the edge f the platfrm and eased himself dwn. He tk a few quick bunds and apprached the victim. The guy lked dead, his bdy still mving vilently as the electricity pulsed (搏动). Gathering up his curage, Perry reached dwn and grasped the victim’s wrist. Instantly, he felt a blast f electric shck sht thrugh his bdy. Perry shrank and jumped back. He reached dwn a secnd time, and was shcked again. But the third time he seized the man’s wrist and frearm and, braving the shck, pulled with all his strength. The guy’s bdy slid briefly alng the third rail, cming t rest n the gravel n the uter edge f the tracks.
The man was breathing, but irregularly. Smething wasn’t right. “Give him chest cmpressins (按压)!” yelled a wman. Perry was n expert, but fr a few mments he wrked n the man’s heart until the victim began cnvulsing. Then he heard a sudden nise behind him — medical wrkers and firefighters had arrived. Perry let the prfessinals take ver. His heart still racing frm the electric shcks, he climbed back up nt the platfrm, grabbed his things and headed hme.
The evening news reprted the incident. After a friend uted him t the media, Perry became the tast f Chicag. Perry was then recruited by the Chicag Fire Department and is nw training t be an emergency medical technician.
1. What made the rescue f the victim particularly difficult?
2. What can be inferred abut Perry accrding t paragraphs 3—4?
3. What des the underlined sentence in paragraph 4 mean?
4. What is the authr’s main purpse f writing the text?

When I was a little girl, my mm wuld say, “Half the fun f ding anything is sharing it with thers.” 1 Friends and mates allw us t enjy ur successes and ur jys, cmfrt us in ur hard mments, and prvide a mirrr fr us t learn mre abut urselves. I’ve always lked at friends as the family we chse. They enrich ur lives. As Rbert Luis Steven nce said, “ 2 ”.
T be a gd friend r partner, it’s imprtant t be a gd listener. Hear what yur friend r mate has t say first rather than jump t cnclusins r get defensive. 3 When they hear their wrds repeated back t them, it can help them t realize what they said was nt exactly what they meant t say.
4 Yu knw the ld glden rule, “Care fr thers the way yu wuld like them t care fr yu.” The supprt f a friend during a tugh time culd make the difference between success and failure. Encuragement and cnfidence are the gifts that can help change a persn’s life.
Take care, thugh, with whm yu chse t have clse relatinship, fr they can have a great effect n yurself – respect and life path. As smene nce tld me “ 5 They will either take yu up r dwn.”

I must admit, I haven’t always liked animals. In fact, I distrusted them greatly while grwing up, and I still fear the nes I dn’t knw persnally. What set my beliefs in stne was being attacked—nt nce but many times, including the summer after secnd grade when I was bitten by a rabbit. Then, when I was nine and riding my dirt bike dwn the rad, a large dg charged me and tried t bite my ankle. After all thse negative experiences, there was ne thing I knew fr sure: All creatures, great and small, were n friends f mine.
After cllege in Califrnia, I returned t live the single life in Las Vega. Then I met Lisa. In n time at all, we fell in lve, married and mved int a new huse. Despite my avidance f animals, Lisa had a dg called Bailey. Bailey didn’t like me, but he tlerated my existence nce he realized I wasn’t ging anywhere.
Things changed as spring came. We welcmed a new member f ur family: ur sn Evan. One evening Evan grabbed hld f the dg’s tail. The irritated dg paused and turned t lk at his stuck tail but waited patiently until being released. Still the stries I’d heard f animals attacking babies wrries me.
Then my wrst fear ccurred. I sat n the cuch (沙发) reading after a lng day while my wife wrked at the dining-rm table paying the bills. I saw Evan crawl acrss the family-rm carpet as he made his way behind the cuch. One minute, all was quiet and then Bailey entered the rm and headed t where Evan had crawled. I nearly jumped ut f my skin when I heard the dg start a fearful barking behind me.
