School girl Lorna O’Brien was in her kitchen when she looked out of the window and was terrified at what she saw. “Help!” she shouted. “There’s smoke and fire coming out of the kitchen window opposite.”
Her father, John, ran across to the house while her 15-year-old brother Paul called the fire service. Lorna, 16, rushed across and caught up with her dad, who had just kicked open the front door. They looked upstairs where they saw smoke coming out of the top flat. Lorna followed her father into the flat, where they found a pan on fire in the kitchen and the young mother, Mane Linn, who had been asleep, lost consciousness in the smoke-blackened sitting room. Lorna’s dad threw a wet cloth over the pan and then turned off the stove before starting to help Mane through the smoke down the stairs to safety.
Suddenly Mane started crying, “My baby, my baby!” “Where’s the baby?” asked Lorna. “In the bedroom,” Mane shouted back. While John pulled the crying mother from the house, Lorna, without a thought for her own safety, turned back to search for the baby. She found the little girl, 14-month-old Ann lying with her eyes closed. Lorna quickly took the baby, rushed downstairs through the fire and smoke. “It didn’t cross my mind at the time that I was near to dying when I rushed through the smoke,” said Lorna. “I was just thinking of the baby. Even after I came out of the house, I wasn’t frightened.”
When help arrived, baby Ann and her mum were taken to hospital for treatment. It was only when Lorna got back into the saf ety of her own house that she realized the danger she had faced. “I started shaking all over and thought of what could have happened to me,” she said.

A baby seal robot from Japan has come to the U. S. It’s been sold in Japan for several years, but
now the company has created a Florida-based unit, Paro Robots U. S. Inc., to sell the creature to places like nursing homes and hospitals. The robot, named Paro, is marketed as a therapeutic(治疗的) device that can help comfort people who have problems that can lead to social isolation(隔离).
Takanori Shibata, a Japanese engineer, invented Paro. He says the robot, which weighs about 6 pounds, is able to respond to touch, light, and sound.
Shibata says he tried making robotic cats and dogs, but people didn't find those convincing.
“They expected too much，” he says, “and would compare the robot to real animals they had known.” Few peo ple have ever seen a live baby seal, so they aren't likely to draw comparisons between the robot and the real thing. So they accept Paro as a cute little companion.
The Vinson Hall Retirement Community in McLean held a recent event to showcase the robot, and Virginia Long slowly came into the activity room. When a nurse put the robot on her lap, it began to shake slightly, and Long talked to it gently. “Why are you shaking? Are you cold？” she asked. The robot made a high sound, and Long laughed. She said sh e used to have a cat, “but somebody stole him.” “Petting a seal is unusual，” she said, “but a lot of people have strange animals.”
But some experts say a robot is no replacement for a real animal. “One of the things that we've learned is that it is the unexpected and natural behavior of the living creature that adds so much value to people's experience. Any kind of newness can get the attention of people who are lonely and bored, but that doesn't necessarily help them live a meaningful life. It doesn't solve the problem that is really causing their lack of enjoyment of life，” says Bill Thomas, a professor at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County.
5. What is the role of Paro?
A. To look after baby seals.
B. To give relief to patients.
C. To replace home-raised pets.
D. To provide medical examinations.
6. How did people feel about robotic cats?
A. Disappointed.
B. Astonished.
C. Concerned.
D. Amused.
7. What was Long's reaction to Paro?
A. She refused to get close to it.
B. She showed it much affection.
C. She regarded it as her new cat.
D. She was frightened to talk to it.
8. What do Bill Thomas' words suggest about Paro?
A. It is of great value to people.
B. It is useless in solving real problems.
C. It fails to catch older people’s interest.
D. It can take the place of a living creature.

What is happiness? When you can feel inner peace and satisfaction, you are happy. 9This usually happens when we do something we love or achieve something that we value. It is our opinions that make us feel happy or unhappy. All of us constantly go through various situations or conditions, but we do not have to let them influence our reactions and feelings. 10
Try hard to make a change of the way you look at things.11That means looking at the good and positive side of every situation. Pay attention to solutions, not problems. Listen to relaxing and uplifting music. Watch funny and interesting programs that make you laugh.
Always look at what you have done and not at what you haven't done. Look at what you can do, not at what you cannot do. Each day do at least one act to make others happy. When you make someone happy, you'll become happy, and then people will try to make you happy. 12 On the contrary, be happy for their happiness. Communicate with happy people and try to learn from them to be happy. Remember, do your best to stay detached(超脱的) when things do not occur as intended and desired. Detachment has much to do with inner peace.13
A. I've never regretted it.
B. Always look at the bright side.
C. Do not envy people who are happy.
D. Stop asking for everyone's approval.
E. It is usually experienced at a special moment.
F. Here are a few tips for increasing happiness in daily life.
G. Inner peace can lead to happiness, so smile more often.

We live in central Phoenix, near the canal. Every day I used to see a homeless old man and his shabby and untidy dog hanging out down there.
I would tell my husband we should give him food for the little dog. It wouldn't have been a problem; we have our own “mini farm” of animals! But he would say “OK！” and then blow the idea off becauseof our business.
Being in Phoenix, Arizona, you can just imagine how hot it gets here, but its winter was really chilly!
I had just come from KFC with take-out food for dinner. As I was turning by the canal, the man was
sitting on a long bench，wrapping himself with an oldbrowncoat and even older scarf. Even the dog had a worn-out woolen vest on! Not even thinking more about it, I pulled into the parking lot alongthecanal and piled up a plate of chicken with all the fixings for the man and his little dog as well as a cup of hot coffee and a bottle of juice. Looking at all the hot and delicious food and drink, he said, “Thank you, sweetie. You are an angel. ” And he was a little moved and I found tears welling up in his eyes! I told him he was so welcome, and then went home.
When my husband dug into the KFC bag, he asked, “Were you hungry, or what happened？” I told him what I did and he said, “Only you！” Then he told me I had don e a good thing. Since there had been nothing left in the KFC bag, we decided to go out to have our dinner. By the time, we wanted to pay our bill, I couldn't find my wallet. I really didn't know where I lost it.

One Possible version:
Paragraph 1:
A week later, I was waiting for my friend on the bank of the canal. Suddenly, I found somebody waving and calling “angel” to me. I recognized the homeless old man at once. He asked me whether I lost a wallet when we met last time. I was not sure until he took a wallet carefully from his inside pocket. I nodded and he smiled like a child.
Paragraph 2:
I had a chat with the old man. He told me that he found my wallet after I left and guessed it must have been taken out with that bag of food by accident. But he didn't find any clue in the wallet. So he could do nothing but wait here every day, waiting for me. Hearing this，I was completely moved and knew who was t he real “angel ” !
