Eighteen-year-old Dana Kiger is happily running after balls on the soccer field. But not long ago, she couldn’t remember her love of the game, her parents’ faces or even her name.
At 16, the Tennessee honor student and star athlete was hit from behind while playing in a soccer game. She fell to the ground, her head striking the hard ground. The blow knocked out nearly all of Kiger’s memories.
With no physical(身體的) injury or unusual change in her brain, doctors thought Kiger’s memory would return in a few days. But it did not. And two and a half years later, it still hasn’t. Kiger—who has no memory of her family, her childhood or her life before her injury—has had to create new memories, restart relationships and relearn old skills.
“The only thing I had …I could walk, write, but I didn’t know what to write,” Kiger said of the days after the accident. “Physically, I was OK, I guess, but mentally(精神上) I was troubled.” Doctors say long-term amnesia(健忘癥) brought on by a less severe brain injury like Kiger’s is unusual. “It’s very rare for people to have this lasting problem with memory recovering,” said Dr Roger Hartl at Weill Cornell Medical College.
Kiger’s parents tried to help their daughter return to the life she once lived. “She didn’t know what food was,” Kiger’s mom said. “She said, ‘What is that?’ I said, ‘Lettuce.” She said, ‘Do I like it?’ I said, ‘That’s up to you to decide.’”
Kiger’s natural ability on the soccer field was the one part of her earlier life that died immediately. And soon, she’ll begin a new life at Slippery Rock University, where she plans to study physical therapy(治療). Kiger said that while parts of her past still remain a mystery, she’s focused(集中于) on what’s to come. “It is about my future,” she said.
1.What would be the best title for this text?

The iPhone, the iPad, each of Apple’s products sounds cool and has become a fad (一時的風(fēng)尚). Apple has cleverly taken advantage of the power of the letter “i” – and many other brands are following suit. The BBC’s iPlayer – which allows Web users to watch TV programs on the Internet –adopted the title in 2008. A lovely bear – popular in the US and UK – that plays music and video is called “iTeddy”. A slimmed-down version of London’s Independent newspaper was launched last week under the name “i”.
In general, single-letter prefixes (前綴) have been popular since the 1990s, when terms such as e-mail and e-commerce first came into use.
Most “i” products are targeted at young people and considering the major readers of Independent’s “i”, it’s no surprise that they’ve selected this fashionable name.
But it’s hard to see what’s so special about the letter “i”. Why not use “a”, “b”, or “c” instead? According to Tony Thorne, head of the Language Center at King’s College, London, “i” works because its meaning has become ambiguous. When Apple uses “i”, no one knows whether it means Internet, information, individual or interactive, Thorne told BBC Magazines. “Even when Apple created the iPod, it seems it didn’t have one clear definition,” he says.
“However, thanks to Apple, the term is now associated with portability (輕便) .”adds Thorne.
Clearly the letter “i” also agrees with the idea that the Western World is centered on the individual. Each person believes they have their own needs, and we love personalized products for this reason.
Along with “Google” and “blog”, readers of BBC Magazines voted “i” as one of the top 20 words that have come to define the last decade.
But as history shows, people grow tired of fads. From the 1900s to 1990s, products with “2000” in their names became fashionable as the year was associated with all things advanced and modern. However, as we entered the new century, the trend inevitably disappeared.
1.People use iPlayer to __________.
A. listen to music B. make a call
C. watch TV programs online D. read newspapers
2.We can infer that the Independent’s “i” is aimed at __________.
A. young readers B. old readers
C. fashionable women D. engineers
3.The underlined word “ambiguous” means “__________”.
A. popular B. uncertain
C. definite D. unique
4.Nowadays, the “i” term often reminds people of the products which are __________.
A. portable B. environmentally friendly
C. advanced D. recyclable
5.The writer suggests that __________.
A. “i” products are often of high quality
B. iTeddy is alive bear
C. the letter “b” replaces letter “i” to name the products
D. the popularity of “i” products may not last long

Tips for Being a Good Neighbor
1. _______________
No one likes a noisy neighbor. Do you hold parties that last all night? Do you leave your dog outside to bark all day? Remember that not everyone has the same schedule as you do, so use some common sense. Keep noise to the lowest level. If you’re holding a party that’s likely to be loud, invite everyone within earshot.
2.________________
Once you know your neighbors, then you’ll also know if something seems out of place in the neighborhood. Are strange people carrying expensive things out of one neighbor’s house? Have several days passed since your elderly neighbor last collected his newspaper? The benefit of keeping an eye out for unusual behavior in the neighborhood is that others will do the same for you.
3.________________
It never hurts to follow the Golden Rule: Do to others what you would like them to do to you. Treat your neighbors with respect. Offer to drive an elderly neighbor to the grocery store. Volunteer to collect mail while a neighbor is on vacation. The more often you lend a helping hand, the more likely that your neighbors will do the same for you when you need a little help.
4.________________
Don’t just limit your neighborly actions to your block or street. Remember that everyone who lives in a community has the ability to help make it a better place. Think about your passion and find a way to do it on a volunteer basis in your town. Volunteer at the local library. Enjoy working with kids. Consider becoming a scout leader. Whatever your passion is, there’s sure to be a thing suitable for you to help in the local community.
