It was on a winter past midnight of 1971 when I was driving our big V8 station wagon back to our hometown. Next to me, my husband was  36  asleep and snoring (打鼾) loudly.

We had to travel away from home for the dance classes on four, or   _38  five nights per week, and then he 39  have to be up and about again by six of the following dawn to get to his  40  job.
We had agreed that I should drive home on those late nights so he could at least get some _41  sleep. But I worked hard, too, and I would also be up at six of the following morning to get our half-dozen kids  42  for school. As well, I would then have to  43  the dance lessons for that evening.
On that long cold night I was fighting to stay  44 , but sticking to "the master"s rule" of not playing my  45 . He needed his sleep, he said. I  46  down the window, yet the bitter-cold wind did little to revive (振奋) me. I was already driving about ten miles  47  the speed limit,  48 , we were still forty-five minutes away from home.
I studied the road up ahead and  49  in the near view mirror. There was not a car 50 a black night ahead and behind me. There were no Officers of the Law to be seen, and so I 51 the speed by another ten miles per hour. I had no great need for a speeding ticket, but I wanted to get home as quickly as I could.
"Get into the other lane!" sounded a loud and  52  voice.
I swiftly changed lanes, and as I did, a car without headlights pulled from the side of the road. I screamed at the top of my lungs, "I  53  that car by mere inches! The fool!

举一反三





Besides calling 911, here is what to do in some life-threatening emergencies when no one is around to help.
Lost in the wilderness
First, you’ve got to acknowledge you"re in trouble. Stay where you can be seen, clearly and remember to rest. Keeping a sense of humor helps too -- it reduces strum and helps creative thinking. In a wide open area, make a colorful cress out of rocks to show your present position.
Choking
Aim to hit the top of the chair against your stomach, in the soft part below the bony upside-down V of the ribs (肋骨). Make a sudden push against the chair. If you still can’t breathe after six tries, call 911, even if you can’t talk. Write the word “choking” somewhere nearby, and leave the line open until help arrives.
Severe bleeding
Use your hand or clean cotton, or paper towels, or a scarf, or any cloth you can find, and push down on the wound until the bleeding stops. But if you put a band around your leg tightly, you’re going to close the vessels (血管) to the entire leg. In this way, you could loose foot.
Bear attack
If yon surprise a bear, don"t run away. That invites an attack. Instead, stand up and back away slowly, without looking the bear in the eyes. If it does charge (猛冲) at you, stick out your chest, raise your arms, and spread your legs. Shout at the bear, to frighten it. If it"s going to attack, lie facedown, with your hands held firmly behind your neck. Play dead until you"re sure the bear is gone.
1. When you see a colorful cross made of rocks in the wilderness, you know ______.
A. someone is bleeding                  B. someone is choking
C. someone is lost                      D. someone is attacked by a bear
2. If you are still choking after six tries, you should ______.
A. keep a sense of humor                 B. call 911 and leave the line open
C. use your hand our clean cotton         D. lie down with your hands behind your neck
3. Don"t tie around your bleeding leg tightly, or you could ______.
A. stop bleeding B. reduce stress  C. loose your foot      D. cause breathlessness
4. The passage is mainly teaching us how to ______.
A. survive the emergencies                      B. avoid a bear attack.  
C. deal with a choke                         D. find our way

第三节:阅读理解(共25小题; 每小题2分, 满分50分)
It was 3:12 a. m. when nine-year-old Glenn Kreamer awoke to the smell of burning. Except for the crackling(爆裂声)of flames somewhere below there was not a sound in the two-storey house at Baldwin, Long Island.
With his father away on night duty at a local factory, Glenn was worried about the safety of his mother, his sister Karen, 14 and his 12-year-old brother Todd. He ran downstairs through the smoke filled house to push and pull at Karen and Todd until they sat up. Then he helped each one through the house to the safety of the garden. There, his sister and brother, taking short and quick breaths and coughing, collapsed on the lawn (草坪).
The nine-year-old raced back into the house and upstairs to his mother’s room. He found it impossible to woke her up. Mrs. Kreamer, a victim of the smoke, was unconscious, and there was nobody to help Glenn carry her to the garden. But the boy remained calm and, as a fireman said later, “acted with all the self-control of a trained adult.”
On the bedroom telephone, luckily still working, Glenn called his father and, leaving Mr. Kreamer to telephone the fire brigade and ambulance service, got on with the task of saving his mother.
First he filled a bucket with water from the bathroom and threw water over his mother and her bed. Then, with a wet cloth around his head he went back to the garden.
He could hear the fire engine coming up, but how would the firemen find his mother in the smoke-filled house where flames had almost swallowed up the ground floor?
Grasping firmly a ball of string from the garage, Glenn raced back into the house and dashed upstairs to his mother’s room. Tying one end of the string to her hand he ran back, laying out the string as he went, through the hall and back out into the garden.
Minutes later he was telling fire chief John Coughlan: “The string will lead you to mother.” Mrs. Kreamer was carried to safety as the flames were breaking through her bedroom floor.

A.By throwing water all over her and her bed.    
B.By carrying her to safety with his brother.
C.By pushing and pulling at her.              
D.By tying a string to her hand.
3.Who called the fire brigade and ambulance service?
A.Glenn.    B.Glenn’s father.     C.Glenn’s sister.    D.Glenn’s neighbor.
4.What did Glenn do to protect himself?
A.He put a wet cloth around his head.      B.He threw water all over himself.
