His attitude didnt soften as I grew into adulthood and went to college. I had to ride the bus whenever I came home. Though the bus stopped about two miles from home，Dad never met me，even in severe weather. If I grumbled，hed say in his loudest father-voice，“Thats what your legs are for!”The walk didnt bother me as much as the fear of walking alone along the highway and country roads. I also felt less than valued that my father didnt seem concerned about my safety. But that feeling was canceled one spring evening.It had been a particularly difficult week at college after long hours in labs. I longed for home. When the bus reached the stop，I stepped off and dragged my suitcase to begin the long journey home.A row of hedge（樹籬）edged the driveway that climbed the hill to our house. Once I had turned off the highway to start the last lap of my journey，I always had a sense of relief to see the hedge because it meant that I was almost home. On that particular evening，the hedge had just come into view when I saw something gray moving along the top of the hedge，moving toward the house. Upon closer observation，I realized it was the top of my fathers head. Then I knew，each time Id come home，he had stood behind the hedge，watching，until he knew I had arrived safely. I swallowed hard against the tears. He did care，after all.On later visits，that spot of gray became my watchtower. I could hardly wait until I was close enough to watch for its secret movement above the greenery. Upon reaching home，I would find my father sitting innocently in his chair. “So! My son，its you!” hed say，his face lengthening into pretended surprise.I replied，“Yes，Dad，its me. Im home.”1What does the underlined word “grumbled” in Paragraph 1 probably mean .AAccepted happily.BExplained clearly.CAgreed willingly.DSpoke unhappily.2What made the author feel upset was _.Athe

fitted with electronic devices to help bring down the high accident rate among elderly cyclists in the bicycle-mad countryDeveloped for the government by the Netherlands Organization for Applied Scientific Research (TNO), the intelligent bicycle, runs on electricityA commercial-available bicycle is expected to be on the market in the next two years and should sell for between 1, 700 to 3, 200 euros per bicycleThe devices on the bike are linked through an onboard computer with a vibrating (震動的) warning system fitted in the bicycles saddle and handlebars to warn cyclists of the coming danger.The saddle vibrates when other cyclists approach from behind, while, the handlebars do the same when barriers appear ahead“Accidents often happen when cyclists look behind them or get a fright when they are passed at high speed, ”said Maurice Kwakkernaat, one of TNOs research scientists involved in the project“The onboard system technology has already been at work in the car industry, ”he said“More and more elderly people are using a bicycle, not only for short distances, but also for longer distances, ”Dutch Environment and Infrastructure Minister Melanie Schultz van Haegen told AFP“This type of bicycle is truly needed in the Netherlands because it will help us bring down the number of elderly people who are injured every year and allow them to continue to enjoy cycling, ”she saidIn the Netherlands, bicycles outnumber the population of 17 million by at least one million and there are some 25,000 km of bicycle path in the countryThose statistics are set to grow as more and more people take to two-wheeled transport, leading to an increased risk of injuryLast year, 184 cyclists died in the country, of which 124, or 67%, were older than 65, according to the Central Statistics OfficeThe year before, 200 cyclists died, the majority of victims also being elderlyThe current model weighs 25 kilograms but researchers are working on making the onboard systems

Test BicycleBElderly CyclistsCA Smart BicycleDA Bicycle-mad CountryCLast nights meteor(流星)shower left many people in the community dissatisfied and demanding answersAccording to Gabe Rothschild，Emerald Valleys mayor，people gathered in the suburbs of the city，carrying heavy telescopes，expecting to watch the brightly burning meteors passing through the skyWhat they found instead was a sky so brightened by the citys lights that it darkened the light of the meteors passing overhead“My family was so frustrated，”admitted town resident Duane Cosby“We wanted to make this an unforgettable family outing，but it turned out to be a huge disappointment”Astronomersscientists who study stars and planetshave been complaining about this problem for decadesThey say that light pollution prevents them from seeing objects in the sky that they could see quite easily in the pastThey call on people and the government to take measures to fight against itThere is yet a population besides professional and amateur star observers that suffers even more from light pollutionThis population consists of birds，bats，frogs，snakes，etcFor example，outdoor lighting severely affects migrating birdsAccording to the International Dark-Sky Association“100 million birds a year throughout North America die in crashes with lighted buildings and towers”Countless more animal casualties(傷亡)result from the use of artificial lightingClearly，people enjoy the benefits of lighting their evenings，but some scientists think it can be harmful for humans，tooThey worry that exposure to light while sleeping can increase a persons chances of getting cancerEmerald Valley is only one community that is becoming aware of the negative effects of light pollutionFor years，F(xiàn)lagstaff，Arizona，has enforced lighting regulations in its city in order to assist astronomers at the Lowell ObservatorySimilar efforts have been made worldwide，and a movement is underway to remind us to turn off lights when we are not using them，so that other creatures can share the night1It happened last night thatAthe citys lights affected the meteor watchingBthe meteors flew past

Had they changed their minds? Had they heard about my bad luckall the way from Iowaand decided they didnt want any of it to rub off on them?So when the cab driver，instead of getting out and helping me with my bags，just pushed a little button so that the trunk (汽車后備箱) popped open a few inches，it wasnt the worst thing that had ever happened to meIt wasnt even the worst thing that had happened to me that dayAccording to my mom，most brownstones in New York City were originally single-family homes when they were built way back in the 1800sBut now theyve been divided up into apartments，so that theres oneor sometimes even two or more familiesper floorNot Moms sister Evelyns brownstone，thoughAunt Evelyn and Uncle Ted Gardiner own all four floors of their brownstoneThats practically one floor per person，since Aunt Evelyn

townhouse，painted grayThe door was a bright，cheerful yellowThere were yellow flower boxes along the base of each window，flower boxes from which bright redand obviously newly planted，since it was only the middle of April，and not quite warm enough for themIt was nice to know that，even in a sophisticated (世故的) city like New York，people still realized how homey and welcoming a box of flowers could beThe sight of those flowers cheered me up a littleLike maybe Aunt Evelyn and Uncle Ted just forgot I was arriving today，and hadnt deliberately failed to meet me at the airport because theyd changed their minds about letting me come to stayLike everything was going to be all right，after allYeahWith my luck，probably notI started up the steps to the front door of 326 East Sixty-Ninth Street，then realized I couldnt make it with both bags and my violinLeaving one bag on the sidewalk，I dragged the other up the steps with meMaybe I took the steps a little too fast，since I nearly tripped and fell
