His invention is a small folding ladder that attaches to the side of a boat to help people who fall into the water. Mr. Mountain plans to mass-produce his boat ladder.

He created his invention at a workshop called TechShop . Mr. Mountain says, "I think it encourages innovation. I think people who probably have had ideas rolling around in the back of their minds for years but have never had the opportunity to actually put them into production or even experiment with them would find this place wonderful. Members of TechShop use high-tech equipment to develop and produce ideas they have for inventions. "Isabella Musachio manages a TechShop in Arlington, Virginia. She says the shop has many different kinds of equipment.

"TechShop is a do-it-yourself maker space. So when you come in we have all these different areas of the shop, and we have a metal shop, wood shop, lasers, 3D printers, electronics.

Membership costs for TechShop start at just over $ 100 per month. Members are able to use costly machines including 3D modeling tools and laser cutters. Isabella Musachio says TechShop helps its members build their dreams.

"Our motto is 'build your dreams here' because you can really come in with just an idea, and then with the help of TechShop make that leap from an idea to building your project o, your prototype or even your business."

It was a Saturday morning, a day I believed would end in victory. For weeks, I had been preparing for the match at the county fairgrounds, sponsored(贊助) by our local riding club. My horse, Tonka, and I could run faster than any kid in the county, and I hoped to bring home a blue ribbon.

My mother usually drove me to the riding events, but on this day, my father planned to drop us off at the fairgrounds with the horse trailer(馬車) .

Although we never discussed it, my father’s struggle with alcoholism had become the silent center of our family life. My mother was paralyzed (癱瘓的) with fear and indecision. Her salary as a part-time nurse couldn’t possibly support four children. No one talked about alcoholism in those days, and it was my family secret.

We climbed on the trailer and my father pulled out of our driveway and headed toward the fairgrounds, picking up speed once we hit the main road. It wasn’t until we felt a big bump that I realized the trailer was out of control. The dream of my riding winner disappeared. Tonka lay on the floor, completely still. No words were possible. I knew he was dead.

Suddenly a man appeared. “Are you all right?” he asked. “Yes.”I answered, although I knew that nothing was all right. “Sit here on the grass,” he said. He bent down to look into the trailer. Tonka remained still. He touched Tonka and then turned to face me. “He is going to be OK. He has just been knocked unconscious.” He rubbed Tonka’s cheeks and gently pulled his ears. Tonka rose to his feet.

Our father was talking to a police officer. He was upset and in pain and took little notice of me. I looked back; the man was gone.

I never forgot him. He gave me strength and a sense of hope in a dark and frightening moment.

1.The writer went to the fairgrounds because he wanted to ________.

A. take part in a horse racing

B. buy Mum a blue ribbon

C. join the local riding club

D. train his horse there

2.We can learn from the third paragraph that ________.

A. the family kept silent at home

B. the family lived a secret life

C. Father was addicted to alcohol

D. Mum was physically disabled

3.What does “he” in the fourth paragraph refer to?

A. Father B. The stranger

C. The horse D. The winner

4.What does the author want to tell the readers through the story?

A. Once formed, bad habits are difficult to break.

B. Unexpected kindness is a light that shines in the darkness.

C. However mean your life is, meet it and live it.

D. Family is a place of encouragement, a safe harbor in the storms.

often teach about happiness and what has become clear is this：There are some qualities always unhappy people have．Here are some of them．

Happy people know life can be hard and tend to live through hard times．They take responsibility for how they got themselves into a mess，and focus on getting themselves out of it as soon as possible．Unhappy people see themselves as victims of life and stay stuck in the“l(fā)ook what happened to me” attitude instead of finding a way through and out to the other side．

Most happy people believe in the good in people instead of thinking everyone is out to get them．Generally open and friendly towards people they meet，happy people foster(培養(yǎng))a sense of community around themselves and meet new people with all open heart．Unhappy people are distrustful of most people they meet and don’t think strangers can be trusted．Unfortunately，this behavior slowly closes all chances of meeting new friends．

Unhappy people believe someone else’s good fortune steals from their own．They believe there’s not enough goodness to go around and always compare others’against theirs．This leads to jealousy(嫉妒)．Happy people know that others’good luck and circumstance are just signs of what they also can achieve if they try hard enough．They believe in unlimited possibilities and don’t get stuck in thinking one person’s good fortune limits their possible outcome in life．

There’s only so much space between the two ears．Unhappy people fill that space with constant worry and fear．Happy people experience fear and worry too，but make an important difference between feeling it and living with it．When fear or worry crosses a happy person’s mind，they’ll ask themselves if there’s an action they can take to prevent their fear or worry from happening and they take it．If not，they realize they’re spinning in fear and they lay it down．

1.Paragraph 2 mainly shows that unhappy people tend to _______________．

A．focus on what they really want

I was going to Paris, which I’d always wanted to see．But now I was frightened to travel alone．I arrived at the train station in Paris．I hadn’t spoken my college French for twenty years．On my first metro ride, I came across an incompetent（不勝任的）thief．I just stared at him, and he stopped his hand from my purse and disappeared into the crowd．Somewhere in this confusing city was my hotel hidden, but the directions suddenly weren’t easy to find．When I finally found the hotel, my heart was beating heavily, and I was sweating like a basketball player．I couldn’t stay．Could I? The wallpaper looked like it had been through a fire．The bathroom was downstairs, and the window looked out onto the brick wall of another building．Welcome to Paris．I sincerely wanted to die．I missed my friends．I was entering my third week away from home and my kids, and I had arrived in the most romantic city in the world, alone, lonely and frightened．

The most important thing I did in Paris happened at that moment．I knew that if I didn’t go out, right then, and find a place to have dinner, I would hide in this small room my entire time in Paris．I might never learn to enjoy the world as a single individual．So I went out．Evening in Paris was light and pleasant．I walked along a path, listening to birds sing, watching children float toy boats in a huge fountain．No one seemed to be in a hurry．Paris was beautiful．And I was here alone and suddenly not lonely．My sense of accomplishment overcoming my fear and weakness had left me feeling free．I wore out two pairs of shoes during my week’s stay in Paris．I did everything there was to do, and it was the greatest week of my European vacation．I returned home, becoming a believer in the power of traveling alone．Now when I meet difficulties I just say to myself, “If I can go to Paris, I can go anywhere．”
