We all like fantasy stories, and grow up reading and listening to fantasies. These tales fuel our imaginations,

and satisfy our longings for adventures. The most interesting thing about fantasies is that their plots involve

magical beasts and heroes，animal creatures talking like humans，and other things we can’t see in real life. Also,

fantasies have a distinguished writing style, with freedom of expression.

Toy Fantasy

In toy fantasy stories, narrators(叙述者)bring their beloved toys to life that can live, talk, think，breathe and

behave like human beings. You would see modern toy fantasies in a picture book format. Representative works are

A. A. Milne’s Winnie the Pooh and Carlo Collodi’s The Adventures of Pinocchio.

Animal Fantasy

The animal fantasy tells tales about animals behaving like human beings, experiencing emotions, and having

the ability to talk. However, animals in fantasies hold their various animal characteristics, too. Examples include

The Wind in the Willows by Kenneth Grahame, Charlotte's Web by E. B. White, and The Tale of Peter Rabbit by

Beatrix Potter which influences children around the world.

Magical Fantasy

In a magical fantasy, you see a character having magical powers, or a strange magical object becomes the

subject of the story. Stories of this type began widely spreading long ago, including Roald Dahl's Charlie and the

Chocolate Factory and William Steig’s Sylvester and the Magic Pebble.

Modern Folktales

Modern folktales are types of fantasy that narrators tell in a traditional tale accompanying some typical parts,

such as strong conflict, little description of characters, and sometimes magical elements. These tales come before

all others and are popular, as authors throughout history, have written them. Hans Christian Andersen has written

several tales of this category including The Nightingale, The Emperor’s New Clothes and Thumbelina.

I was driving 80 miles per hour along the road Wednesday. I knew I was going too fast, but it was the only

hope I had. My dog, Jett, was dying in the backseat.

About half an hour earlier I received a call from my daughter. A ball got stuck in Jett's throat. He was

struggling to breathe. I raced home to see if I could help, but the dog's mouth water had made the ball too slippery

to pull out by hand. So my daughter and I began our race to the vet's(兽医诊所).

About halfway there, we got caught in traffic jams due to construction. I began wildly sounding my horn(喇

叭), hoping to attract help, and ended up catching the eye of several construction workers. In an anxious voice, I

told them what had happened to my dog. By then Jett was lying in the backseat, not moving. Cavaja Holt was one

of the workers standing there. He stuck his hand down the dog's throat and pulled out the ball, but Jett still wasn't

breathing.

And the guy behind Holt shouted out, “Breathe into his mouth! Breathe into his mouth!” And Holt did. It

worked! Jett soon began breathing again. After may dog was saved, I continued my trip to the vet's to make sure

Jett was OK, and by the time I arrived the dog seemed to be doing much better. The staff there checked the dog

over and said Jett was in good health.

Later on, I realized I was so anxious that I forgot to ask the man's name and thank him on the spot. My

daughter posted the story on the Internet, asking to locate him. Meanwhile, Holt posted the story too, hoping to find

out how the dog was doing. Within minutes, someone connected the two. On Thursday morning, I drove back to the

construction site and thanked Holt in person. He is truly a hero.

4. How did the author feel after she received the call?

Ashamed. B. Confused. C. Annoyed. D. Panicked.

5. What led Holt to give Jett mouth-to-mouth breathing?

A. The vet's advice. B. The author's request.

C. His fellow worker's advice. D. The author's wrong rescue.

6. Why did the author's daughter share the story online?

A. To get the address of Holt. B. To make contact with Holt.

C. To spread the moving story. D. To praise Holt for his deeds.

7. What can be the best title for the text?

A. Race against death B. Find hero through the Internet

C. Stranger saves dog's life D. Heart-stopping rush to the vet's

Scientists say they have created a new device that can turn brain signals into electronic speech.The invention

could one day give people who have lost the ability to speak a better way of communicating than current ones.

The device was developed by researchers from the University of California, San Francisco.Their results were

recently published in a study in the journal Nature.Scientists created a"brain machine connection"that was set in the

brain.The device was built to read and record brain signals that helped control the muscles to produce speech.These

include the lips, tongue and jaw .

The study involved five volunteer patients who were being treated for epilepsy(癫痫).The individuals had the

ability to speak and already had electrodes(电极)set in their brains.The volunteers were asked to read several

hundred sentences aloud while the researchers recorded their brain activity.

The researchers used audio recordings to reproduce the vocal(发声的) muscle movement which is the key to

producing human speech.Future studies will test the technology on people who are unable to speak.

The study reports the reproduced sentences were understandable to hundreds of human listeners asked to write

out what they heard.The listeners were able to write out 43 percent of sentences with perfect accuracy.

Edward Chang is a professor of the university's Weill Institute.He was a lead researcher on the project.Chang

admitted that much more research of the system would be needed to reach the goal of perfectly reproducing spoken

language.

8. Who will probably benefit most from this device?

A. Those unable to hear. B. Those unable to see.
