     United States President Barrack Obama was seen ________ a self portrait or selfie during Mandela’s memorial.

    A. taking                    B. took                C. take                 D. taken

        “Yeah, right, but it’s not that easy,” I protested. “Yes, it is,” Jerry said. “Life is all about choices. When you cut away all the junk, every situation is a choice. You choose how you react to situations. You choose how people will affect your mood. You choose to be in a good mood or bad mood. The bottom line: it’s your choice how to live life.”

        Several years later, I heard that Jerry did something you are never supposed to do in a restaurant business: he left the back door open one morning and was held up at gunpoint by three armed robbers: While trying to open the safe, the robbers panicked and shot him. Luckily, Jerry was found immediately and sent to the local hospital. After 18 hours of surgery and weeks of intensive care, Jerry was released from the hospital with fragments of the bullets still in his body.

        I saw Jerry about six months after the accident. When I asked him about the incident, he replied, “Wanna see my scars?” I declined to see his wounds, but did ask him what had gone through his mind as the robbery took place. “The first thing that came into my mind was that I should have locked the back door,” Jerry replied. “Then as I lay on the floor, I remembered that I had two choices: I could choose to live, or choose to die. I choose to live.”

        Jerry lived thanks to the skill of his doctors, but also because of his amazing attitude. I learned from him that every day we have the choice to live fully. Attitude, after all, is everything.

    51. Which of the following can best describe Jerry?

        A. Optimistic.      B. Responsible.          C. Kind-hearted.         D. Careless.

    52. What does the underlined phrase “cut away all the junk” mean?

        A. Pick up the junk on the ground regularly.

        B. Ignore the unnecessary parts of something.

        C. Choose to be in a good mood.

        D. Never be affected by others.

    53. Which of the following could be the best title?

        A. The choice of life.                     B. Attitude is everything.

        C. How to live fully.                      D. An unexpected robbery.

    Every year landslides {滑坡} cause 25 to 50 deaths and $1.5 billion in damage in the United States．They account for 15 percent of the deaths from natural disasters in Europe．And in Decem??ber, a single event killed more than 200 people in the Philippines．Sending workers to stabilize (加固) mountainsides using steel bars and cement (水泥) can help prevent disaster, but it introduces new difficulties．Shaking drills produce harmful dust and loosen heavy, dangerous debris (米屑)．"It's quite a risky job," says Giorgio Pezzuto of D'Appolonia, an engineering company in Italy.

    D'Appolonia, working with eight other companies, may have an answer:  a three-ton robot called Roboclimber．"The idea is to operate a machine far away that can drill without a hu??man being on board,'" says Pezzuto, manager for the project, which is supported by the European Commission．Engineers claim that the machine will be faster and cheaper than manual labor．The robot, a large radio-controlled four-legged me??chanical spider (蜘蛛), has cost at least $2 mil??lion so far．The final product should be able to climb unstable mountainsides, drill holes, insert bars and cement, and collect data on the slope' s stability．Testing should begin in May.
