I had just arrived in this Asian country for a one-year teaching position. One day, I took the subway to visit some ancient palaces and temples in the downtown. The following account of what happened to me has taught me much about culture 36 .
Since all the 37 were taken, I stood. Suddenly, I felt someone pulling on my bag. 38 I probably was in someone’s way, I moved over slightly. But in one quick motion(动作), I felt my bag removed from my back, and in a flash it was 39 . I turned around to see who the thief was. I looked at the people standing behind me, but didn’t see my bag or anyone 40 . My heart sank and I began to 41 . I glanced around the car only to find directly across from me was an elderly lady, and sitting on her lap was my 42 . I tried to get it back from her lap. But as I began to 43 it up, she quickly grabbed(抓住) it back and held onto it. I looked around at the people standing beside me, and those sitting beside her, but no one took any 44 of the situation. Trying not to cause a(an) 45 , I tried to negotiate through gestures. I used my hands as best as I could, but she 46 my requests for my bag and pointed to my back. She picked up my bag, showing how 47 it was. I finally began to understand. She was holding my bag to 48 me.
At the next stop, a middle-aged woman got on the crowded subway. Another elderly woman sitting down took her bag, 49 it on her lap. They didn’t talk; 50 this older woman was more than pleased to sit with this stranger’s bag on her lap throughout her journey.
As the subway pulled into the main downtown station and I was getting ready to get off, the woman 51 handed me back my bag. But 52 I had a chance to thank her, she had disappeared into the crowd.
Sadly, this considerate custom was more 53 to me than if I had been robbed. Everyone back home had heard of being robbed—that was 54 city behavior—but having a stranger hold onto someone’s bag out of 55 , in a city of twelve million people—that was truly unusual. 36.

She Walked Through Fire
On Thanksgiving weekend, the Heffelmire family gathered for a meal at their home. After dinner, the family went down to the finished basement to relax except Charlotte’s father, Eric, who was in the garage to fix his truck. Around 8 pm, Charlotte decided to check on her dad. She walked through the kitchen. When she opened the side door to the garage, black smoke rose up into the kitchen. She could barely make out her father lying on his back, trapped under the truck. He’d removed the front passenger-side tyre and raised the truck on a jack(千斤顶). The truck had slipped off the jack, and now the whole weight of the wheel was on his chest and shoulders. Charlotte ran to the front of the truck and struggled to lift it. Eric was still conscious, and he yelled, “You got it! One
more try!” She tried again and was able to tip the truck backward just enough for her to pull her dad by the shirt with both hands from under the truck. She dragged him across the garage and 20 feet down the driveway. Then she ran back to the garage, which had burst into flames. “I was afraid the car was going to explode,” says Charlotte, so she climbed into the truck, which faced forward, turned the key, and pressed the gas pedal(油门). The car slowly rolled out, the metal wheel scratching loudly against the concrete. Safely on the driveway, Charlotte stopped the truck and ran back to the basement. “There’s a fire! Everybody get out!” she yelled as she picked up her three-month-old niece and ran out. Outside, she handed the baby to her mom, and then ran around to the burning garage. She picked up a garden hose(水管) and sprayed the fire while calling 911. A few minutes later, firefighters and an ambulance arrived. Charlotte was treated for second-degree burns on both her feet and face. Her dad had injuries on his chest and shoulders, as well as minor burns on his face. The garage and the house were damaged but the family survived. The Heffelmires are staying in an apartment while their house is rebuilt. “Charlotte is a remarkable kid,” says her dad. Charlotte, however, simply says, “I was saving my family and my house. I wasn’t going to let my dad die.” 59. Eric got trapped because _____. A. the kitchen was on fire B. the wheel fell off the truck C. the front tyre was removed D. the truck slipped off the jack 60. Which of the following is the correct order of the events? a. Charlotte called the firefighters.

C. the three-month-old baby was injured D. Charlotte was burned on her chest and shoulders 62. It can be inferred from the passage that Charlotte is _____. A. proud and clear-headed B. modest and easy-going C. calm and quick-minded D. independent and self-centered

Robot Surgeon(外科医生) Succeeds without Help from Human Doctors
Humans make mistakes. Even surgeons with years of experience are not infallible. But what if these doctors could pool their knowledge and experience together and create a surgical standard of care, to be carried out by machines?
That’s the idea behind surgical robots, which may soon perform most surgeries, from sewing up tiny wounds to performing heart procedures. Many of these operations are, in fact, already completed with the assistance of robots. But a recent test suggests that robots in the operating room may soon go a step further, performing on soft tissue completely on their own, from start to finish.
The Smart Tissue Autonomous Robot(STAR), successfully completed surgeries on pigs. “We’re the first group to develop autonomous robotic surgery with soft-tissue surgery, and when compared to standard operation, it’s better,” says Peter Kim, professor of surgery. “The idea is not to replace surgeons; it will make the surgeons better and make the procedures safer.”
A recent Mayo Clinic study found that major surgical errors—including operating on the wrong site or side of the body, or even leaving tools or objects inside the patient—occur every one out of 22,000 procedures. That’s rare, but robots like STAR would aim to lower the number even further.
In the da Vinci surgical system, surgeons place their arms inside instruments and use their hands to control the movement of robotic tools on the operating table from afar. The robot’s every major move is controlled by surgeons, and thus its results may vary based on the surgeon’s training or experience.
STAR, on the other hand, is entirely autonomous. It’s not only able to work on its own and perform surgeries with a more flexible “hand”, but it’s able to react to the unexpected incidents. Cutting into hard tissue like bones is one thing, but
