Each Indian tribe（部落） had different language. Many Indians never learned any language e【1】 their own. Do you know how Indians from different tribes talked to each other？They had two ways to talk without sound. One way was by sign language; the other was by signals.

Sign language is way talking by signs. Indians used it when they met strangers. In this way, they could find out w【2】 the stranger was a friend or an enemy. Indians usually used signals when they wanted to send messages to someone far away. To make signals, an Indian might use a pony（小馬）. He might use a blanket. Or he might use smoke, a mirror or fire arrows.

To signal that he had seen many animals, an Indian r【3】 his pony in a large circle. Sometimes the Indian gave a signal like this and then went away to hide. This meant that there was danger.

The blanket signal was visible from far away. An Indian held two c【4】 of a blanket in his hands. Then he began to swing the blanket from side to side in front of him. An Indian could send many different signals with his blanket.

He could also send many signals with a mirror to w【5】 someone of danger or to get the attention of a person far away. But he also used it to send message in code. Of course, mirrors could be used o【6】 when the sun was shining. At night, Indians use fire arrows for signaling.

An Indian also sent signals with smoke. He made a small fire of dry wood. Then he put grass or green branches on it. He held a blanket over the fire for a minute. When her r【7】 the blanket from the fire, there was a cloud of smoke. The number of clouds of smoke told his message in code.

Now you can see that Indians didn’t need to learn each other’s language. They could talk to one another by using signals or sign language.

Soon, a young mother with a little girl came by and the child set her eyes on one of the teddy bears. The mother asked about the price and it was only one dollar. She pulled out a 10-dollar note from her handbag and told the young man that she was giving him 10 dollars and wanted the change back. I was wondering how he was going to do it. He told the young mother to put the money in the bag hanging around his neck and take out her change.

I realized that this young man depended on believing people not to cheat him. There was no way for him to know how someone would take out more than they should have. I was so moved. I bought a model car from him that I didn't need. As I walked down the street, I gave the model car to a kid walking with his father.

I kept thinking that the world would be a better place if we could all learn to trust (信任) others more, like the young blind street seller.

Well, all of this could be the future of driving. There are several companies, including Google, working on driverless cars. So far, no Google self-driven car has gotten a traffic ticket, but some of them have been in accidents when other cars hit them.

These cars are now still in the testing stages. But, if the tests are successful, these electric self-driven cars could be put into use very soon.

The cars already have many features (特點(diǎn)) allowing them to take the place of drivers during certain situations. Some features include cars being able to park themselves, or slow down when they notice objects close by. They can also control the speed if there are dangerous conditions. Scientists and engineers believe, with the help of wireless (無線的) signals, cameras and GPS, we are now at a stage where creating a safe self-driven car might be possible.

The cause of deadly road accidents is usually careless drivers or dangerous conditions. The self-driven car may be able to prevent these. However, some people don't like the idea. American lawyer White Drake, for example, does not believe these cars are safe. He thinks technologies can also make mistakes.

【4】What is White Drake's attitude toward the safety of the self-driven cars?

If you have a friend who is at home during the day, and who likes spending time with dogs, this may be your best choice. It can also be safer, because you will trust the person coming to your house. Or you can take your dog to your friend's home.

Doggy daycare is a good choice for you, too. You can trust in the daycare to take care of your pet while you are away. Many daycares will also keep your pet overnight if you need them to. It's always a good idea to visit the day-care before taking your dog there. Make sure that the people working there are good with dogs.

If you don't want to choose a doggy daycare, you can hire (雇傭) a dog-walker. Hiring a dog-walker is a good idea for you if you want your pet to have some extra attention during the day. When hiring a dog walker, it's best to go through an agency (代理商). Be sure to ask them if the dog-walker can be trusted. You should also ask them what your pet will do while the dog-walker is there.

Dogs are our friends. If you have a dog, treat him as your family member. Spend more time with him; don't leave him alone for a long time.

There is a website that lists all California earthquakes recorded from 1769 to the present. The site lists the dates and times as well as the magnitude (震級(jí)) and the exact location of any quake that measured more than 6.0. There are only a few earthquakes that stand out in my memory and, luckily, none is shown in the website. So, my personal experience with earthquakes might be considered unimportant.

There are three earthquakes that are difficult to forget. The first one was in 1955 and our oldest daughter was walking with me in our backyard in Redwood City in California. As the shaking became stronger, I held her to me with one arm as I held on to one of our fruit trees with the other. All three of us (my daughter, I and the tree) shook for two or three minutes that to us felt like hours.

The second one was in 1963. Our entire family was visiting Disneyland in Southern California. The earth started to shake just as we were beginning to walk from our hotel toward the famous landmark.

My third experience with an earthquake was a lonely one in California. It was in my sixties and I was alone in an old church. As the building started to shake, I quickly headed for the door to go outside. I remember I said a little prayer—something like, “Help me get out of here in time,Dear Heavenly Father”. Minutes later, I was safe outside.

【1】The author writes the passage mainly to tell us about________.

A.a new film about an earthquake

B.how to survive an earthquake

D.how to save children in an earthquake

【2】The earthquakes the author has experienced________.

A.all caused bodily harmB.are all recorded in a website

C.all measured more than 6.0D.all happened in California

【3】What does the underlined part “the famous landmark” refer to?

D.The place where the author was born.

【4】Which of the following statements is NOT true about the third earthquake?

A.It happened in the author’s sixties.

B.the author succeeded in getting outside.

C.When it happened, the author was in a church.

At the beginning, when I checked the homework list, I ______ that many students did not hand in their homework. I was a little worried. I felt the job for me at that time was to push these students.

You're making it seem like it is all my fault (錯(cuò)誤). ”Then I ______ realized it was actually (事實(shí)上) my fault. I should talk to my classmates ______ a kind way and not get so angry.

After this, I changed how I spoke. “Excuse me, could you please finish your homework?” I said. To my ______ , many students understood me a lot better and hand in their homework quickly.

I found the best way to communicate, so it can help solve problems. Now, I am getting along well with all my classmates. I also realized a good monitor ______ be responsible (負(fù)責(zé)任的) and patient. I really cherish this experience. It makes me feel like I am growing up like a little tree day by day.
