One evening years ago in New York, I sat on a bench in a park and watched a little boy, around 2 years old,1. (run) freely on the grass as his mother watched from a short distance away. The boy would fall to the grass,2.(get) up, and without looking back 3.his mother, run as fast as he could as if nothing had happened.
When kids fall down, they don’t think of the fall as a failure. Instead, they consider4.as a learning experience. They try again and again until they succeed. While I5.(touch) by the boy’s strong mind, I was also touched by the way he ran. With each attempt, he looked so confident and natural. He only wanted to run6.(free) and to do it as 7.(good) as he could. He was just being a child—just being himself—being completely in the moment. He never gave up. Each time he8.(fall), he got himself back up again, as if he knew that falling down was simply a part of life. He was not looking for others’ smiles, or worrying about9.someone was watching or not.

I chose to take psychology because one is able to better understand himself, understand others, and learn how people think, so I can use that to my advantage in the business world.
1.By learning psychology I will learn how and why I think the way I think. This is important to me because I want to know whether my up-bringing or the genes I possess from my parents influence me.2.I hope to find an answer this year through my studies.
I also think it is important to be accepting and tolerant of others and their certain beliefs about different matters. Some people like activities and subjects that I may not entirely agree with. It is important to learn why they believe what they do. People are different throughout the world. 3. I would like to learn what customs, traditions, and ways of thinking are witnessed worldwide and why some are apparent one place but not another.
My final reason for taking psychology is that I can better understand people from a business standpoint. 4. Knowing how they think will help in making major marketing and promotional decisions. I hope to learn how people react to certain situations or ads to see what will get them interested.
I know the effort I put into this course will benefit me later in life. Of course, learning the course may be challenging at times. 5.
A. If I had to predict, I would say a mix of both.
B. But there are similarities between them.
C. Psychology is beneficial to my future.
D. Positive psychology has developed rapidly via the Internet.
E. It is vital to know what consumers want and need.
F. I often wonder why I like the items, subjects, and activities that I do.
G. However, what I learn will influence my future decisions and goals.
Airbags, now found in almost every vehicle, have saved countless lives and largely reduced the severity of injuries in crashes. Similar technology could greatly reduce broken hips (髋部) resulting from a fall, something most seniors fear.
Dr. Robert Buckman and his start-up company, Active Protective in Allentown, Pennsylvania, has developed a promising solution, a wearable airbag that can protect hip bones in the event of a fall. The idea was the result of Dr. Buckman’s years as a doctor at Temple University. He noticed how many elderly people were being brought into hospitals with broken hip due to falls, and how they often never completely recovered from the injuries. He started to ask what he could do for these people, and that was when he started trying to figure out whether there was a way of helping people who were at the highest risk of falling and suffering these kinds of injuries.
The device is worn much like a regular belt, but on the outside of the clothing, and it includes sensors that monitor the movement of hips. If the device detects that the person, is falling, an airbag opens before the person hits the ground, cushioning the fall. When the wearer hits the ground, the bag reduces the force to the hip bones by 90 percent, enough to avoid the majority of hip injuries.
With one out of every three people aged 65 and older suffering serious falls each year, Active Protective has a big market for its wearable device. It also has the potential to sizably reduce hip - related health care expenses: Hip injuries among the elderly cost the US health care system in 2012 $30 billion, which doesn’t include the long-term care expenses associated with the high percentage of patients that can no longer live independently.
1.What is the purpose of the Active Protective’s airbag?
A. To avoid hip injuries among seniors.
B. To protect seniors from car accidents.
C. To help seniors with their daily nursing.
D. To help doctors deal with serious injuries.
2.What inspired Dr. Robert Buckman to make the device?
A. A report on seniors’ health.
B. A serious fall he experienced.
C. His work experiences as a doctor.
D. Suggestions of seniors at Temple University.
3.How does the device mainly work?
A. By predicting road conditions. B. By speeding up bone recovery.
C. By reducing the effects of falling. D. By preventing people from failing.
4.What does the author think of the Active Protective’s airbag?
A. It still needs improving.
B. It has a promising future.
C. It may encourage seniors to do exercise.
D. It may increase America’s spend on seniors.
