10、t a better look. “First, we threw a rock onto the ice to test it,” Cruz told NBC 5 Chicago. “Then we stepped on it.” Convinced the ice would hold their weight, Anthony took a few steps, but then he fell through the seemingly frozen surface. Cruz rushed to help his panicked friend. However, the pond
11、swallowed him, too. Cruz managed to lift himself out of the extremely cold water and onto a more solid section. He then gingerly worked his way toward Anthony. But the ice didnt hold, and he fell in again. This time, he couldnt get out. The boys were in icy water up to their necks and quickly losing
12、 feeling. Any chance of their freeing themselves was slipping away. Cruz was sure that he was going to die. Anthonys older sister had seen the boys fall through the ice and started screaming, wishing someone to save them. John Lavin, a neighbor driving nearby on his way to the grocery store, heard h
13、er. He quickly pulled over. Seeing the boys, he grabbed a nearby lifebuoy(救生圈), kicked off his shoes, and ran into the cold water, struggling his way through the ice.

Those who live less than a kilometer from the coast are around 22 percent less likely to have mental health problems than those who live 50 kilometers or more away, according to a study by researchers from the University of Exeter, the UK. Peop
19、le who visit the coast at least twice a week tend to experience better general and mental health as well. So how does “blue space” make us feel better?

20、ople who get more sun tend to be happier than those who do not. Theres also the air above the sea. After spending time near the ocean, you might find that you feel more relaxed than usual.

D Last week the British university system offered a record number of places. That sounds like good newsbut do we really need more people to go to university? For that matter, doe
25、s the world need more universities? The answer feels like it should be yes. Education is good, isnt it? But everything has a cost. Education takes time. We could insist that everyone study full-time until the age of 45 but that would surely be too much. And perhaps half the population studying until
26、 theyre 21 is also too much. As for universities, they consume financial and intellectual resourcesperhaps those resources might be better spent elsewhere. My own personal opinion is strongly in favour both of going to university, and of simply having universities around. The main skill I learnt at
27、university was to write about economics, and I use that skill every day in my professional life, even an abstract education seems practical to me. And I now live in Oxford, one of the worlds most celebrated(著名癿) university cities. Oxfords experience certainly suggests that universities have much to

He has invented an app tha
34、t turns your mobile phone into a diagnostic(诊断癿) tool. Ozcans invention is important because it is very accurate and easy to use.

B.People are trying to reduce the cost of this new medical tool. C.This tool has become much more popular all around the world. D.Another reason why Ozcans i
38、nvention is important is that it is inexpensive. E.Ozcans simple and effective tool might just save millions of lives around the world.
