On my way to the company,I was driving behind a small truck. I was a few minutes late and watching the two men in front of me talking in that slow truck made me angry.
The light turned green,but the truck was still moving very slowly. I became impatient,so I turned right to go past it. Suddenly,a new blue jeep was rushing by. I tried to stop,but my car hit the side of the jeep.
“Pow!” I heard a big noise and then I realized that an accident happened. For a moment I asked if I was OK and I was waiting for people to come over and help me. Those thoughts didn't last long,as the answer came into my mind that the airbag had saved me. Luckily,I was still alive.
Slowly I opened the door. The warm,bright morning sunlight hit my face and I felt better. I saw the jeep and I ran over to see if the driver in it was injured (受伤)．“Are you OK?”I shouted loudly through the window. His head was down,eyes closed,and he didn't answer me.
At that moment I thought I was looking at a dead man. I shouted again and knocked at the window heavily once more. His eyes started to open,and he slowly opened his mouth,“Yes.”
Once again,I said to myself,“How lucky I am!”

【推荐1】Artificial intelligence(AI)(人工智能)is the ability of a computer program or a machine.The computer or the machine with AI can think and learn.

【推荐1】The Australian government researchers did research on the eyesight and habits of 100 seven-year-old children in Singapore and Australia. The research shows that sunlight is good for people’s eyes. If you spend two or three hours playing outdoors each day, it is not easy for you to become short-sighted.
Both groups spent a similar amount of time reading, watching TV and playing computer games. However, the Australian children spent an average（平均）of two hours a day outdoors—90 minutes more than the Singaporean children. As a result, 30% of the Singaporean children were short-sighted—this rate（比率）was ten times higher than Australian children.
Dr. Ian Morgan said, “Humans are naturally long-sighted, but when people begin to go to school and spend little or no time outdoors, the number of short-sighted people gets larger. We’re also seeing more and more short-sighted children in cities all around the world—and the main reason may be that city children spend less time outdoors.”
Daylight can be hundreds of times brighter than indoor light. But why does playing outside stop us from becoming short-sighted? Scientists believe that natural light has a special chemical（化学物质）. It can stop the eyeball from growing out of shape and stop people becoming short-sighted.
So be outdoors. It doesn’t matter if that time is spent having a picnic or playing sports.

【推荐3】Hollywood movies seem to be China’s favorite movies. But that is not always the case. Recently an Indian movie has become very popular.
The movie called Dangal (《摔跤吧！爸爸》)came out on May 5. In less than five days, it has made mote than 100 million yuan, according to China Daily.The movie is about a father who turns his daughter into great wrestlers (摔跤手). It is based on the story of former Indian wrestler Mahavir Phogat, who lived for his dream of winning a gold medal for his country. Without government support, Mahavir wasn’t able to compete in an international competition. But he turns his two eldest daughters, Geeta and Batita, into competitive wrestlers.
Indian movies often include lots of singing and dancing. But Dangal is different. As Yahoo said, the sport story shows gender stereotypes( 性别成见) and a complex ( 复杂的) father-daughter relationship. There are so many moments that may make you want to cry. In the movie, when the father teaches daughters to wrestle, people in the village all laugh at him. After all, few girls did this sport at the time. But the father keeps teaching them. He even leaves home and goes to his daughters’ city to train them. At first, both girls show no interest in wresting. They feel exhausted(精疲力尽)after strict, or sometimes even cruel training with their father. They even begin to try different ways to get out of it. But once they realize that their father may be letting them seek opportunities in life normally saved for men, wrestling becomes their own dream. They finally become winners in a male-dominated(男性主导的) sport.
“My father gave us inner confidence. He taught us, as young girls, never to be scared,” the real-life Geeta Phogat told The Guardian. The “silent love” of Mahavir toward his children may also be familiar to many. “It makes me think of my father, and his selfless love for us,” a Chinese audience member told Hundustan Times.
The daughters’ success shows that “girls are as good as boys”. It’s the movie’s theme, as Hundustan Times said. And it appeals to (吸引) millions of Chinese fans. “It is like the story of a Chinese village girl becoming an Olympic champion,” said Tan Zheng, editor of Film Art magazine. And the Indian Express said, “We see the blood, sweat (汗水) and tears that go into the making of champions.”

| A．cruel | B．confident | C．moved | D．laugh |
| A．never to be scared | B．to act as the other girls did |

| A．the difficulties of seeking opportunities in life |
| B．the selfless love for children from people around |
| C．a Chinese village girl becoming an Olympic champion |
| D．two girls trained as competitive wrestlers by their strict father |
| A．Dangel is different from the other Indian movies. |
| B．In the movie Dangal , both girls show great interest in wrestling all the time. |
| C．Dangel is based on how former Indian wrestler won a gold medal for his country. |
| D．The theme of the movie is that men are real champions in a make- dominated sport. |
