(2015·吉林长春市第三次质检)Raised in a motherless home，my father was extremely tightfisted towards us children.His attitude didn’t soften as I grew into adulthood and went to college.I had to ride the bus whenever I came home.Though thebus stopped about two miles from home，Dad never met me，evenin severe weather.If I grumbled，he’d say in his loudestfathervoice，“That’s what your legs are for！”

The walk didn’t 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 didn’t 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 longjourney home.

A row of hedges (树篱) 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 hedges because it meant that I was almost home.On that particular evening，the hedges had just come into view when I saw something gray moving along the top of thehedges，moving toward the house.Upon closer observation，Irealized it was the top of my father’s head.Then I knew，eachtime I’d come home，he had stood behind the hedges，watching，until he knew I had arrived safely.I swallowed hardagainst the tears.He did care，after all.

On later visits，that spot of gray became my watchtower. Icould hardly wait until I was close enough to watch for itssecret movement above the greenery.Upon reaching home，I wouldfind my father sitting innocently in his chair.“So，my son，it’s you！” he’d say，his face lengthening into pretended surprise.

I replied，“Yes，Dad，it’s me.I’m home.”

(2015·甘肃兰州市高三双基过关考试)An Australian company，Smart Car Technologies，has developed a system that lets drivers know when they’re speeding.When the technology becomes commercially available，it could help lead‐footed_drivers avoid tickets and also save lives.The company that developed the product hopes to convince Australian government agencies to put the technology into use in their automobile fleets(车队)．

Michael Paine，an Australian vehicle design engineer and traffic safety consultant，was hired to analyze the product.He told LiveScience that his colleagues in the road safety field are “very enthusiastic”about what they’re now calling “an intelligent speed alert”．Other research，according toPaine，shows that 40 percent of all traffic deaths involvespeeding.There is also a potentially controversial futureuse.“Since the system is so portable，it would be easy tomake it a requirement for teenage drivers to always use aspeed alert device when driving，” Paine said.“The systemeven has the capability to record speeding violations，soparents can monitor their teenage drivers.”
