I was very sympathetic with world leaders burdened with resolving conflicts between nations. When my three children were young, in most days it was hard to keep my house from becoming a war zone. It got worse as they grew older. Three years ago, Zack, then 16, couldn’t make it through a day without playing tricks on his sisters, Alex and Taryn, then 11 and 9.

My husband and I tried to understand his adolescent moodiness. We begged, reasoned, punished, and left heartfelt notes on his bed about how his behavior was hurting our family. His response was a shrug and “I say it because it’s true”.

I even tried telling the girls to fight back. But it was a bad idea. Now I had three kids at war. At wit’s end, I poured my heart out to my sister in an e-mail. She wrote back, “Don’t e-mail me. E-mail him.”

Our son was online every day, mailing and instantly messaging his friends. So what if I was within shouting distance? Maybe he would actually hear me this way. There’d be no yelling or door slamming(猛然關(guān)閉). Zack wouldn’t feel under attack. And with a few simple keystrokes, he could respond. Or not. Zack didn’t reply for days. When he finally did, his entire message was four words. I expected the worst, but then smiled when I read them, ”You are right. I’m sorry.” The kids still fought, of course, but Zack scaled back the abuse (惡習(xí)). Best of all, I now have an effective way to communicate with not one but three easily annoyed teens. They don’t tune me out as much. They don’t like to listen to me nag (嘮叨) .Or as Alex says, “You’re so much nicer online.”

All I know is that the house is quiet, and we’re talking. In fact, Taryn just instantly messaged me from upstairs. It’s time to take her to softball practice.

1.The purpose of this passage is to tell us _________ .

A. how to solve family problems

B. how a mother shows her love to her children

C. how to treat kids in a more sensible way

D. the value of understanding between parents and children

2.By the first sentence of the passage, the author really means to be_______.

A.humourous B.sympathetic C.serious D.inspiring

3.How did Zack react when the author first tried to stop his bad behavior?

A. He was annoyed and got worse.

B. He talked back to the author.

C. He felt sorry and changed.

D. He was persuaded and acted politely.

4.Zack stopped fighting with his sisters because _________ .

A. his mother learned how to mail him

B. his mother stopped yelling and nagging

C. his sisters learned to instantly message him

D. his mother had more friendly communications with him online

Today, when a fire breaks out, you can be sure a citizen with a cell-phone camera has posted it to Facebook or Twitter, or sent it to the media. But up to now, that citizen has not been able to easily send images and details of what is happening to the people who need it most: police, firefighters and building-security people who must respond, and whose ability to help is often measured in minutes, if not seconds.

That's about to change. A one-year old company called Elerts has developed a system that's designed to mobile and social technologies to speed the flow of information between citizens and emergency workers in time of danger. The system involves free mobile applications—iPhone and iPad app(應(yīng)用軟件)is available now—that eyewitnesses can use to report incidents and get public-safety warnings. And Elerts is offering a management console(控制臺(tái))for security firms and universities to receive the reports and distribute warnings and instructions, like a map with the best evacuation route(疏散路線).

The service is the brainchild of Chris Russo, deputy fire chief in the coastal town of Hull, Mass. As mobile communications sped up, he grew increasingly frustrated by his inability to communicate effectively with colleagues and the public, particularly with people who are at the scene and might be able to provide help.

"Remembering situations when communications failed puts a pit in my stomach," Mr. Russo says. Last summer, he was in a search at a beach for a missing boy, who went into a bathhouse but didn't come out. First responders feared an abduction (綁架) on the beach or shark attack. The child's mother, who didn't speak English well, was so sad that she couldn't remember what color shorts he had on. Mr. Russo had no photo of the child, and no ability to turn to beachgoers.

Two long hours later, the boy was spotted by a low-flying helicopter lost and alone on the beach crying—a lucky break. "If 5 percent of beachgoers had an app to receive a message and send in sightings of a lost boy, the happy ending might have come much sooner," Mr. Russo said.

1.What is the passage mainly about?

A. A moving story of Chris Russo B. An app for reporting emergency

C. A cell-phone instant serviceD. An app for firm management

2.What does the underlined part in Paragraph 4 most probably mean?

A. Makes me feel frustratedB. Causes a stomachache

C. Arouses my interest D. Leaves a hole in my stomach

3.We can infer from the passage that emergency workers ____

A. have to carry out rescue work in minutes

B. must send images and details immediately

C. need images and detailed information badly

D. have to turn to Facebook and Twitter for details

4.The author takes Chris Russo's experience as an example to ____

A. advertise his creativity in communication

B. show readers the working principle of the new system

C. make the passage more interesting to read

D. inform readers how Russo got the idea of the service
