14. My family and I never talked about school as the ticket to a future. I was in the classrooms, but I wasn’t there to learn to write, read or even speak. When it was my turn to read, I wanted to hide. I was 13 years old, but I already hated being who I was.
I had an English teacher, Mr. Creech, who knew I couldn’t read. In one of my first lessons the teacher said that anyone who had a reading age below six had to stand up. I felt so embarrassed. But at the same time, it made me realize that I needed to change the situation. I was determined it wouldn’t happen again.

Y ou taught me English.” The look on his face told me that he remembered the boy he’d once encouraged.
“I’m so glad I had a chance to see you,” I said. “And Mr. Creech, I have great news to share.” I told him I had learned to read. But that wasn’t all. I had become a published author and an active speaker. “The next time you get another Anthony Hamilton in your classroom, please encourage him to read as well,” I added.

文章主要讲述了Omar Bakhshi的公司发明了一款可以安装在自行车车把上的小型智能设备，使骑行更安全。

17. Biking offers a number of 11 life-changing11 benefits to its riders. It fights overweight and heart disease as well as building muscles.
Switching up to cycling for the morning commute (通勤) reduces noise and air pollutants and cuts down on greenhouse gases. 1 Not to mention that cycling is cheaper than driving.
2 A bike company conducted a survey and found out that the number one thing preventing people from biking to work was “awareness of
road safety”. Sharing the road with cars can be dangerous. Omar Bakhshi, an app developer, experienced this first-hand when a car hit him, leaving him with an injury that affected his taste and smell for life. 3 That was why he set out to make the roads safer to share.
He started a company, Tether, to improve safety conditions for urban cyclists. Tether has developed a small smart sensor that goes on a bike’s handlebars. As the biker rides through the city, the device projects a “safety zone” of lights onto the sidewalk. If cars get too close to the bikers personal space, the lights will start flashing. 4 .What makes Bakhshi’s device different to similar devices on the market is its smart features.
Tether’s tool collects data from close encounters (相遇) with cars. The data is then organized into a central database. 5 .When biking and driving can both share road safety awareness, biking will become a beautiful sight in the city.
A．City biking is far from safe.
B．Bikers can go quickly and safely.
C．He realized that what happened to him wasn’t unusual.
D．In other words, it’s a clean and green way to get to work.
E．With all these advantages, why aren’t there many bikers on city roads?
F．This can remind car drivers to pay attention to the rules of sharing the road.
G．Thus, bikers can access the information to determine which streets are safer for them.
