I was so glad to see so many people in the church. I walked up and met my dear Loma. She was dressed all in white. I put the ring on her finger and she looked up at me. “ My dear John, 〞 she was going to say something when there was the sound of a shot, and Loma fell across my knees. Blood was running down her white dress.
I laid her on my mother’s arms and rushed out to find the man who shot Loma. I knew who it was — Carver!
I had no gun, only my hands to kill him with. “It’s Carver’s life or mine!〞I said to myself. I jumped on my horse, rode up the hill and saw he was a quarter of a mile in front of me. I followed him. As I went past a tree I pulled off a branch and carried it with me. Carver rode round a comer but suddenly his horse ran to the edge of the marsh (沼泽地). He could not go on. If he tried to, his horse would go down into the bottomless bog (泥塘), together with him.

Suddenly he seized me with his strong arms and broke a bone in my side. I took him by the neck. He tried to free himself but couldn’t. At last he was helpless. I threw him away from me and said, “Go and learn to be a better man.〞 But his feet had gone into the bog. He went down 一 down —out of sight! I simply couldn’t help him or save him!
I could not think of anything but Loma’s death. I hurried back, I saw my mother smile and she said, “She isn’t dead.〞 For days Loma lay in bed between life and death. Then slowly she came back to life and life came back to me.

A study by St． Louis University has found that a lovable dog named Sparky and a robotic dog AIBO, were about equally effective at reducing the loneliness of
nursing home residents． The study confirmed previous findings that dogs have a good effect on nursing home residents〔居民〕．
Dr． Andrew Smith led the Stanford University team that built a home-assistance robot． "If humans can feel an emotional tie with robots, some day they could be not just our assistants, but also our companions," he said．
To test whether residents responded better to Sparky, a trained dog, or the Sony-made robotic dog, researchers divided 38 nursing home residents into three groups at three long-term care centers in St, Louis.
One group had weekly 30-minute one-on-one visits with Sparky; another group had similar visits with AIBO; a control group had no contact with either dog．The groups' respective levels of loneliness were tested by having them answer a number of questions at the beginning and near the end of the visits．
After two months, both groups that had contact with the dogs were less lonely and more attached． Most of the elderly regarded Sparky, a 9-year-old dog, as an audience for their life stories, said investigator Marian Banks.
"He listened attentively, wagged his tail, and allowed them to pet him," said Banks, who adopted and trained Sparky after finding him in a street behind her home seven years ago．
Those who were together with AIBO took a little longer to warm to the robotic creature．Over time, however, they grew comfortable with him, and petted and talked to him． He would respond by wagging his tail, vocalizing〔发出声音〕, and blinking his lights．
"AIBO is charming once you start to interact with him," said the study's author, Dr． William Banks, " He's an attractive sort of guy． He gives a feeling: of being personal, not just a robot． "
60. Before the new study, it was known that ．
A. dogs could help get rid of old people's loneliness
B. robots could build close connection with humans
C. robots were more effective at reducing people's loneliness
D. dogs and robots were equally effective at reducing loneliness
61.The first time those who contacted with the robotic dog ．
A. accepted it immediately
B. found it easy to interact with it
C. were not quite comfortable with it
D. were confused by its behavior
62. The findings of the researchers tell us that .
A. robots are actually attractive sorts of guys
B. robots could make a good companion of the old ．
C. it's easy for people to become close with robots
D. the elderly will have a robot assistant in no time
63. What would be the best title for the passage?
A. Robots Serve People Better Than Thought
B. No More Lonely Old Age with Emotional Robots
C. Dogs equipped with robots to Help the Elderly
D. Robots and Dogs Can Equally Cheer up the Elderly

For incoming freshmen at western Connecticut's suburban Brookfield High School, lifting a backpack weighed down with textbooks is about to give way to tapping out notes and touching electronic pages on an iPad, A few hours away, every student at Burlington High School near Bostonwill also start the year with new school-issued iPads, each loaded with electronic textbooks and other online resources in place of traditional texts．Apple officials say they know of more than 600 districts that have launched what are called "one-to-one" programs．
At Burlington High in suburban Boston, Principal Patrick Larkin says the $500
iPads is better than textbooks in the long term, though he said the school will still use traditional texts in some courses if suitable electronic programs aren't yet available." Larkin said of textbooks, "but they're pretty much outdated the minute they're printed and certainly by the time they're delivered"．
But some experts warn that the districts need to ensure they can support the wireless infrastructure 〔设施〕, repairs and other costs that accompany a switch to such a tech-heavy approach． Mark Warschauer, an education and informatics professor said, "I think people will like it． I really don't know anybody in high school that wouldn't want to get an iPad," he said． "We're always using technology at home, then when you're at school it's textbooks．so it's a good way to put all of that together．" Districts are varied in their policies on how they police students' use．
And the nation's textbook publishing industry, accounting for $ 5.5 billion in yearly sales to secondary schools, is taking notice of the trend with its own shift in a competitive race toward developing curriculum 〔课程〕 specifically for iPads. Jay Diskey, executive director of the Association of American Publishers' schools division, said all of the major textbook publishers are moving toward electronic offerings, but at least in the short term, traditional bound textbooks are here to stay．"I think one of the real key questions that will be answered over the next several years is what sort of things work best in print for students and what sort of things work best digitally, "

A. a program to promote iPads marketing in new school year
B. a program to spread electronic learning in new school year
C. a plan of how to use iPads in the coming school education

They sit by the door waiting for me. And while I may speak more about the narrowness of my very limited life th an their real worth, just the fact that they’re sitting there, waiting for me, makes me happy.
I speak, of course, of my wonderful, brilliant, intelligently designed,
calf-high rubber boots. They are a piece of industrial genius (杰作). They
are real and vibrant (活力的), and make my life more worth living.
My rubber boots are real and they do not fail me. I slip them on over my
socks at a moment’s notice. They go on easily. My feet feel joyful like the wagging (摇摆) tail of a dog waiting for its walk. My feet know they are safe.
I step outside the house and nothing can stop me—the late season snowstorm, the pool of standing water at the bottom of my doorsteps that will never give off, the mud and dirt this season brings. My feet are warm and dry and happy. And so am I.
My boots are modest. They make no promise they can’t keep. I found them at one-third the price of the long boots I looked at longingly for years. Mine are American-made and inexpensive and unattractive and brown and solid. They are now three years old and still look new. I know I will have them forever. I will die with them on. They are homely and they are wonderful.
My rubber boots make me braver and kinder and more generous. Yes, I will get the mail. Yes, I will get the newspaper. Yes, I will walk the dog. Yes to the garbage. Yes. Yes. Yes. I have rubber boots, good strong rubber boots—and I am not afraid.
