Fortunately， he caught the branch as he was falling and remained helplessly hanging on the tree. Then he started to call nearby villagers for help. They immediately came with a ladder and sticks， but could do little to help him. Then after some time one calm and thoughtful person arrived - a well-known sage who lived in a simple hut nearby。 People were very curious to see what he would do, as he was famous in solving many peoples problems in the area and sometimes very complicated ones. He was silent for a minute and then picked up a stone and threw it at the hanging man。 Everybody was surprised. The hanging mango lover started to shout， “ What are you doing？! Are you crazy? Do you want me to break my neck？” The sage was silent。 Then he took another stone and threw it at the man. The man was very angry, “If I could just come down， I would show you!”Thats what everybody wanted - that he came down. But how? Now everybody was tense(紧张), as to what would happen next! Some wanted to punish the sage， but they didnt. The sage picked another stone and threw it again at the man, even more forcefully. Now the man on the tree was enraged and developed a great determination to come down and take revenge(报仇）.He then used all his skill and strength and somehow reached the branches which were safe to start going down. And he made it! Everybody was amazed.However, the rescued man found the sage gone. He stood there, realizing that the man really helped him because he induced him to try his best and save himself。 “I should be thankful and not angry. 21。 What do you think motivated the man to climb down？ A。 Courage.

Sometimes I think he loves you more than he loves me。 Hes addicted to you, to the way you promise to rid him of his problems only to cause more of them. You just sat back and laughed as his car went spinning through the street, crashing into two other cars. He wasnt the only one hurt by you that night。Do you remember the night of my first high school party? You were there. My friends were intrigued by you. They treated you as if they were never going to see you again， drinking all of you that they could。 I spent two hours that night helping my friends who had fallen completely. “Im so embarrassed，” they said as I held their hair back so that they could vomit （呕吐)。 “Im sorry,” they said when I called taxies for them, walking them out and paying the driver in advance. “This wont happen again, they said as they were sent to the hospital to have their stomachs pumped. Two 15-year-old girls slept in hospital beds that night thanks to you.Do you remember the night when you took advantage of my 17-year-old neighbor who had to drive to pick up his sister from her dance lessons? Do you know how we all felt when he hit another car and killed the two people in the other car? He died the next morning too。 His sister walked home from her dance lesson, and passed police cars and a crowd of people gathering on the sidewalk just two blocks away from the dance studio. She didnt realize her brother was in the midst of it all. She never saw him again。 And its all your fault.I wish youd walk out of my life forever. I dont want anything to do with you。 Look at all the pain youve caused。 Sure, youve made people happy too from time to time. But the damage youve caused in the lives of millions is inexcusable。 Stop luring （引诱) in the people I love。 Stop hurting me， please。Sincerely,Anonymous44.

People riding at dusk can forget to turn them on， and those same people can forget to turn them off when they reach their destination. Well， the makers of the Blink/Steady Bike Light have set out to solve all of those shortcomings.The waterproof Blink/Steady is so far only available as a tail light， although a head light is on the way。 Its fixed onto the bikes seat post. A built-in photosensor （感光器） tells when its become dark enough for the light to be required, and allows it to come on once you begin the riding。 According to the producers， it isnt fooled by things such as headlights or streetlights。 The light also contains an accelerometer, also known as a motion （移动） sensor， which can tell when the bike is in motion.Between the two sensors, this means the light will come on only once its dark enough， and the bike is moving。 Even when stopped at red lights, the small movements of the rider will reportedly be enough to keep the light activateditll go out after 30 seconds of complete inactivity. While this does mean that the two sensors are continuously powered up， they go into a very low-power sleep pattern when the bike is sitting， unused。Light is provided by two 5watt LEDs, seeable over a range of 180 degrees. And power comes from two AAA batteries, which provide up to 200 hours of continuous run time。 The designers and engineers behind the Blink/Steady are now raising money for its commercial production。 About US $95 will get you one if they become available。48。 The first paragraph is mainly to mean that _.A. bicycle lights are worth a researchB。 bicycle lights are not a problem at allC。 bicycle lights are easy to deal withD. bicycle lights are difficult to turn off49. Why is there an accelerometer in the Blink/Steady Bike Light？A. To protect the bike against water。B。 To tell if the bike is moving。C。 To make the bike easy to ride.D。 To judge the speed of the bike。50。 What can be inferred about the Blink/Steady Bike Light?A。 It will be turned off immediately if the bike stops。B。 The traffic lights have no effect on the light.C。 It must meet two requirements if it comes on.D. It wont use any power if the bike is unused。51。 What can we know about the Blink/Steady Bike Light from the last paragraph?A。 Its power is renewable. B。 It isnt available now for its lovers.C。 It includes five LEDs. D. It can be used for years。DA long weekend is a great opportunity to do something a little different。 Many people use a long weekend for a getaway， a short trip to leave the stress of their everyday lives behind and explore, learn, or relax.Hotel RomanceMany hotels and resorts feature something special to start the getaway, such as champagnes （香槟酒）， flowers, or a fruit basket in the room on arrival。 Getaway packages usually include a room with something special， a heart shaped bed, for example。 Additional benefits could be room service meals or other private dining， plus tickets or discounts for local attractions.Visit a SpaSpa getaways can take place at a location that focuses only on spa services or at a hotel that offers a spa as one of its features.

A volunteer getaway is a way to relieve stress and help others at the stone time。 Stay in a National Park For those who want to relax in a rural environment, a national park fits the bill.
