A German shepherd dog in Alaska has been given a hero’s award for saving his owner’s house from a fire. Buddy guided a team of firefighters through winding (迂回的) roads to his owner’s house in a lonely area.
That day, his owner Ben Heinrichs was working on his truck inside his garage when a spark (火星) caused some fuel to catch fire. He managed to run outside, closing the door to stop the fire from spreading, and rolled in the snow to put out the flames on his clothes. But he suddenly remembered the dog was still in the workshop and ran back to fetch him. While Buddy escaped uninjured, his owner suffered burns on his face and second-degree burns on his left hand.
The dog ran off after his master said he needed help. He was found on a road by the firefighters who had been alerted to the fire but had got lost. As the firefighters were about to turn down the wrong road, they caught sight of Buddy who made eye contact with them and raced ahead down the right road, often turning round to check they were behind him. The dog’s quick reaction showed the firefighters that the family’s home was in danger. So the firefighters followed him. Thanks

Cancer-killing X-rays, nuclear threat detection and a new type of plastic out of fish scales (鱼鳞) were behind the projects that took top awards at the 2011 Intel International Science and Engineering Fair. In addition to those top winners, hundreds of students took over $4 million in awards and prizes home from the awards ceremony. The weeklong science competition, a program of Society for Science & the Public, drew over 1,500 students from all over the world.
“Your innovation will help our global community transition (过渡) to sustainable (可持续的) energy sources, decrease the impact of national disasters and lead to new ways of preventing and treating disease,” Society for Science & the Public president and Science News publisher Elizabeth Marincola told the winners at the awards ceremony. “Congratulations to each one of you.”
The top prize of $75,000, the Gordon E. Moore Award went to two California high school seniors who invented a way to fry cancer cells — cancer-killing X-rays. Mattew Feddersen, 17, and Blake Marggraff, 18, said, “When hit with X-rays, the tin produced secondary radiation that could kill more cells than X-rays alone would.”
Three Thai students won Intel’s Young Scientist Award, which comes with $50,000, for designing a new type of plastic out of fish scales. Another winner of Intel’s
Young Scientist Award is Taylor Wilson, 17, who created a sensitive, low-cost way to detect nuclear material. Wilson’s work receives funding from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. “It feels amazing,” Wilson said right after he won the award. “Science is really cool, and you can change the world.”
Seventeen students took home Intel Best of Category awards in classes ranging from Animal Science to Energy and Transportation. Best of Category awards come with $5,000 to the student, $1,000 to his or her school and $1,000 to the science fair where the work was first presented.

In many situations, the quality of your travel experience is directly affected by your ability to understand the local language. For some travelers, the challenge
of learning a new tongue is one of the joys of travel, and as a result, they spend much of their time in conversations with local citizens. Others will find that just learning to read the most common signs and use every-day greetings is enough.
No matter which view you agree with, it’s necessary to take some time to learn some of the simple phrases of the new language before you go. One way of finishing this task is by listening to the new language. A phrase book can help expand your vocabulary, but hearing the sounds of the different spoken words is an excellent activity that can be done right in the comfort of your home. You can see movies in the new language or listen to the tapes or CDs. You can also download some listening material from the Internet. Just spending 15 minutes a night will improve your language skills.
When you arrive in the new land, begin by greeting new friends in their own tongue. This may come easy or it could take some time to learn, but it’s interesting. If you can’t do this, then it means that you will need more practice and patience to learn these very important words. You can go out during the day and begin one-on-one conversations with shop owners, business-men and taxi drivers. This should not be done until you have learned some of the most common phrases, but once you begin to go shopping in a second language your communication skills will start to improve rapidly. You can also watch the local TV or listen to the local radio. For example, the advertisements will help you recognize the correct pronunciation of local street names.
68. What’s the text mainly about?
A. How important it is to learn a new language.
B. How to learn a new language during travel.
C. How to enjoy oneself during travel.
D. How to prepare for travel.
69. One should start one-on-one conversations with the local people _____.
A. as soon as he arrives in the place he is visiting
B. after he has seen many movies in the local tongue
C. when he has learned some of the most common phrases
D. after he has mastered enough vocabulary to go shopping
70. According to the author, the local advertisements can help travelers _____.
A. learn more about local business
B. understand the local people’s dialogues
C. improve communication skills more rapidly
D. know the right pronunciation of the street names

Dear Mr. and Mrs. Richard,
I’m now back home in China. Thank you for your help when I was in America. I have learned a lot during the Summer Camp. Not only did I improve my spoken English rapidly, I also got much knowledge of American culture and customs. A lot of people and things have left a deep impression on me.
When I first arrived in America, everything was new to me. It was your warm-heartedness that helped me fit in with life there so quickly. You were so kind to me that I felt as if I were living with my parents. I hope I’ll visit you again and you’re welcome to visit China at any time.
Thanks again.
Yours,
Li Hua
