It's Monday. I stay with my buddy until I say goodbye around midnight.
My car is parked on the street. As I get in, someone opens my door. It's a man holding a gun.
"Get out of the car!" he barks.
I step out. Another man pushes me into the backseat. We begin driving.
"Where's your money?" one shouts.
"I only have $400 in my account. You can check it through my phone and here's my password," I say. "You can have anything you want. Just let me get back to my family."
"If you're lying," he says, "I'll kill you."
When they see I'm not lying, they ask if my friend has money at the house where they picked me up.
"Maybe, " I say. "If he does, he'll give you whatever he has."
We drive back to my friend's house. I am led to the door, feeling a gun against my back. Before my friend opens the door, one man suddenly rushes me back into the car. I hear them arguing, wondering if my friend has called the police.
Now we're driving, and I have no idea where we are. I try to think of my mum, who is all I have left.
Then the car stops. I'm pulled out and pushed onto the road. I tell myself I can't die this way. Just then, I hear the sound of a police car, so do the men. They jump into my car and speed away. I'm left alone. I am alive.
I stand up and run to a car park, where the lights are on. I knock on a door.
A man opens the door, with a handgun.
"I've just been robbed and kidnapped," I say. "Can you please call the police?"
"Go away," he shouts. I turn back to run.
I run to a gas station. The light is on, but nobody is there. The pay phone has a broken line hanging from it. I fall to the ground, crying hopelessly, when a couple pulls in.
"Are you OK?" the woman asks.
"I was robbed and kidnapped," I say. "Please, I just need some help."
"That's all you need me to do?" she says in a motherly way. "We're going to wait for the police to get here."

(One day, Gulliver was caught in a storm and his ship hit a rock, then damaged. He was washed to the beach. When he woke up, he found himself in Lilliput and a lot of' tiny people were around him.)
The Emperor spoke in a low voice but I could hear all the words clearly.
His Majesty and I often spoke to each other but neither of us understood a single word. I tried words from many
languages. No one could understand me, not even the cleverest of the Emperor's followers.
After about two hours the Emperor left. His wife, children and their servants went also. There were strong guards around me. This was to stop the crowd of people from hurting me.
An officer told the guards to hold six men who made me angry. These men were given to me and I had to choose their punishment. I put five of them in my pocket. Then I pretended（假装）to eat the sixth man.
The poor man screamed terribly. The guards were worried when they saw my knife in my hand. I only cut the rope round his hands. Then I put him on his feet and let him go. I lifted the other five men out of my pocket and put them gently on the ground too.
The people and the soldiers were very pleased with my great kindness. They told the Emperor about it immediately. Emperor ordered his men to make a bed for me and they had to join six hundred of their little beds together to make one bed for me.
At the same time the Emperor asked all his advisers for their advice on how to deal with me. They were very worried. If they set me free, I might be dangerous. I was eating so much food that soon all the people would be hungry. The farmers could not grow enough food to feed all of us.

The Intelligent Transport team at Newcastle University have turned an electric car into a mobile laboratory named "DriveLAB" in order to understand the challenges faced by older drivers and to discover where the main stress points are.
Research shows that giving up driving is one of the main reasons for a fall in health and well-being among older people, leading to them becoming more isolated（隔绝）and inactive.
Led by Professor Phil Blythe, the Newcastle team are developing in-vehicle（汽车内的）technologies for older drivers which they hope could help them to continue driving into later life.
These include custom-made navigation（导航）tools, night vision systems and intelligent speed adaptations. Phil Blythe explains: "For many older people, especially those living alone or in the country, driving is important for keeping their independence（独立）, giving them the freedom to get out and about without having to depend on others."
"But we all have to accept that as we get older, our reactions slow down and this often results in people avoiding any challenging driving conditions and losing confidence in their driving skills. The result is that people stop driving before they really need to."
Dr Amy Guo, the leading researcher on the older driver study, explains: "The Drivel-AB is helping us to understand what the main stress points and difficulties are for older drivers and how we might use technology to assist （帮助）them and solve these problems."
"For example, most of us would expect older drivers always go slower than everyone else but surprisingly, we found that in 30mph zones they tried hard to keep at a constant speed and some were more likely to break the speed limit and be at risk of getting fined. We're looking at the advantages of systems which control their speed as a way of preventing that."
"We hope that our work will help with technological solutions（解决方案）to make sure that older drivers stay safer behind the wheel."
42. What is the purpose of the Drivel-AB?
A. To teach people traffic rules.
B. To design new types of cars.
C. To find out older drivers' problems.
D. To explore new means of transport.
43. Why is driving important for older people according to Phil Blythe?
A. It keeps them independent.
B. It helps them save time.
C. It builds up their strength.
D. It cures their spiritual illnesses.
44. What do researchers hope to do for older drivers?
A. Improve their driving skills.
B. Develop driver-assist technologies.
C. Provide tips on repairing their cars.
D. Organize regular physical examinations.
45. What is the best title for the text?
A. A New Model Electric Car
B. A Way to Solve Traffic Problems
C. Driving Services for Elders
D. Keeping Older Drivers on the Road
