While I was waiting in line at a coffee shop earlier, a woman drove alongside the queue in a mobility scooter (踏板车). There was only a1 space between the line of people and the tables, which she2to drive along. She drove over my foot and didn't 3saying nothing at all.

    I got annoyed and expected she would have 4, but then I just decided to5 it and got down to selecting which pastry (点心) to go with my coffee. The lady and I ended up sitting at adjacent (邻近的) tables. She was on the end of a row so that she could park her6. After about half an hour, when she had7 her coffee, she got up and back onto her scooter. It8 start. She tried to turn the key several times9 she telephoned the place she purchased it from.

    An engineer 10 within 5 minutes. The place must have been local. I couldn't11 overhearing their conversation, and it turned out she had just12 the scooter that morning. This was her very first outing in it. She felt really13 about driving it14 , she wasn't used to its speed, nor its 15, and this combination made it quite16 to drive it through narrow gaps.

    Suddenly, I felt 17 for the lady. It really didn't18 me at all that she'd driven over my foot. I had made an assumption, 19, that a person doing that should apologize.

    Next time you're about to 20 someone, pause for a second and remind yourself that people have judged you without knowing what was going on in your mind or your life.

    You can never imagine how big and complex the inner world of a three-year-old child is, even as a mum. Yesterday afternoon I went to 1Nicole from her daycare center. On the way home, she looked 2in the beginning, telling me about the daytime activities, while later when the 3 and quiet came back to her, she looked tired.

    After we 4 the bus, there was still another 15 minutes of climbing up along a hill to our 5. She asked me where her daddy was. I told her that daddy was still working. She 6 the fact, and sighed with "Okay…", somewhat 7.

    On the way back, she was not as cooperative (合作的) as usual. Sometimes she 8 to walk, but to stand in the middle of the road. Sometimes she stepped 9 to the grassland and tried to kick off the snow 10 the bare grasses could be seen. And she kept 11 all the way. Finally we arrived. All of a sudden she 12 tears and lost her temper outside the door. "Why are you crying so sadly? Tired?" The last sentence caused an even louder 13, "Mummy can't carry me! Mummy 14! Daddy carry me! Daddy…!"

    My tears came out when I heard the words. Such a sweet and 15 girl she is. One month ago I had a bad movement when carrying her up and twisted (扭伤) my waist. I remember that I couldn't move at all when the 16happened and this certainly scared her. After that I 17 long-term lower back pain till now and couldn't carry her. It is 18 that she knows everything.

    No 19 she asked me where her daddy was. That was why she kept silent all the way long but 20 lost control when arriving at home. Dear parents, do you still think that our children know nothing or few about our world?

    Owura Kwadwo Hottish teaches computers in the school he works in. I think it is a 1 school except for the fact that the school didn't have 2.

    Owura became famous after he posted photos of him on the Internet. In the picture, people could see he was teaching his students by 3 an entire computer on the blackboard. The photos showed the 4 level of education for children in Ghana. People were 5 that Owura made sure each button (按钮)was drawn correctly.

    Owura wanted the students to 6 what life with a computer could be like someday. He would come to school half an hour ahead of the 7 every day. He drew the computer on the blackboard, but at the end of his class, it was 8 off to start the next class, so he had to 9 it the next day!

    Owura's efforts were 10 when Microsoft (微软公司)took 11 of his act. They first took him to an international educators' meeting in Singapore. He made a 12 about his teaching methods at the meeting. He 13 a standing ovation (致敬)after the speech.

    14 , Owura got the thing he always wanted for his students—some companies 15 computers to the school. Not a single child in the 16 had seen a real computer in their lives. Thanks to their teacher's 17, the world took notice and responded with 18 to them.

    "Your work has really made us feel 19 about the world. At Microsoft, we believe that educators are heroes. They 20 influence the lifelong skills of their students." said Anthony Salcito, Vice president at Microsoft.

In Alsager, England, 45-year-old David Scott brought his infant son into the backyard. As they 1 their trampoline (蹦床), they saw shadow. No, it was 2. There was a wild animal, over two feet tall, walking through David's garden 3 close to the child. David reacted how most people would: by shouting.

Anna, a primary school teacher, 4 her husband in the yard. "I thought it was a dog at first. But with a bushy tail, I thought it might be a wolf." Anna later said. The family had no 5 as to what the animal could be. Would this wild animal 6 their young son? As the animal approached, the couple could only fear for their child.

Anna took photos of the animal, posted them on Facebook and asked people for help. While many people 7 to Anna's Facebook post, one answer 8. It was from the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (RSPCA), and they had some 9 news for Anna. According to the RSPCA, the animal was a silver fox. Silver foxes are incredibly 10 especially in the United Kingdom, because they are frequently hunted for their 11 fur.

The Stapeley Grange Wildlife Centre checked the animal and confirmed that he was 12, but "a little overweight." As a result, it was believed that he was a lost or 13 pet. Foxes like "Shadow" require 14 care that the average pet owner is not able to provide. The employees at Stapeley Grange announced that they would hand "Shadow" over to a specialist owner. These specialists understand how to take care of foxes properly, and they are highly 15.

Griffith was driving alone to the Bay Area on a work call Saturday morning, thinking he was having a heart attack. He was in 1 . He was in the fast lane（车道） and he started to work his way over to the 2 lane. He drove his car at such a high speed that his car crashed off the exit ramp（匝道） and hit a big tree. All the while everything became 3 before his eyes.

A young man and woman 4 . They left their car and 5 to Griffith's car. They knew 6 what to do. They didn't 7 Griffith from the car but instead left him where he was and got right to work, doing what they could.

"They kept 8 to keep me awake because I was not doing well," recalled Griffith.

9 under pressure, they called the ambulance and took care of everything until professional 10 got there.

They found Griffith's wallet and ID in the car and 11 them to the rescuers. They even 12 to find Griffith's telephone list and 13 his family of what was happening in no time.

Griffith now knows a rare nerve impingement（神经压迫症） in his neck is what 14 him to black out. He left the hospital a week later. He said he was lucky to be alive, owing 15 to the helpful couple and other rescuers.

We all know how it feels to get lost in a great book. But what's happening in our brains as we dive into it? How is it different from what happens as we experience real life? Now, a new study led by Dr Leila Wehbe and Dr Tom Mitehell of Carnegie Mellon University have provided partial answers to these questions. 

Since reading comprehension is a highly complex process, earlier studies tried to break that process down and focus on just one aspect at a time: mapping fMRI signatures（特征）associated with processing a single word or sentence, for example. "It's usually not like reading a book, and usually the stimulus（刺激物）consists of out-of-context sentences designed specifically for the experiment"

To address these issues, the researchers developed a computer program to look for patterns of brain activity that appeared when people read certain words, specific grammatical structures, particular characters" names and other aspects of the story—a total of 195 different "story features". In the study, they first asked eight volunteers to read Chapter 9 of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone and recorded their brain activity using an fMRI scanner（扫描仪）. Then the researchers fed the volunteers' fMRI data into their computer program and had the program identify the responses of different brain regions to the 195 features mentioned above. 

The result showed that when the volunteers read descriptions of physical movement in the story, there was significantly increased activity in the posterior temporal cortex, the region involved in perceiving real-world movement. Besides dialogue was specifically related with the right temporoparietal junction, a key area involved in imagining others thoughts and goals. "This is truly shocking for us as these regions aren't even considered to be part of the brain's language system," Wehbe says. 

Next, Wehbe and Mitchell hope to study how and why language processing can go wrong. "If we have a large enough amount of data", Wehbe says, "we could find the specific ways in which one brain—for example, the brain of a dyslexic（诵读困难的）person—is performing differently from other brains." And this, the researchers think, may someday help us design individually tailored（特制的）treatments for dyslexia and other reading disorders.
