It was rush hour in the morning. Heather Sant, 36, was driving her white 2012 Mazda on the road with her nine-year-old daughter and ten-year-old son in the back. Suddenly, a red pickup truck cut them off. Sant turned the wheel hard to the right, sending the Mazda slide off the road and down an embankment(路堤) that ended in a drop-off after about 50 feet. If the car didn’t stop, it would take off and dive into the road some 20 feet below. Then a bit of luck: as the car raced toward the edge, its undercarriage got stuck, stopping it suddenly.

The people inside, however, were far from safe. The car had come to rest on top of a retaining wall(护墙), balancing on the edge of disaster. One sudden move by anyone inside could throw the car off balance and send it over. Jacob Rodriguez watched everything in terror from the nearby truck company where he works. As an experienced sailor, just like every time he met shipwreck, he whispered a sailing saying “Ship, shipmates, self”, then immediately he and four other men ran to the car. They leaped onto the trunk(后备箱) to balance the weight as the terrified kids in the back seat watched.

Meanwhile, Julio and his nephew Marco, were driving to their jobs at nearby Premier Automotive. Julio jumped out of the car to help while Marco went to the shop, grabbed a strong rope, and returned to the car. He tied the Mazda to an F-350 truck that had been driven over by one of the other rescuers. With the car secured, the group carefully opened the back doors and helped the children out. But their departure shifted the cars weight, causing it to tip forward. The men, still on the trunk, begged Sant to jump into the back seat. She did and then inched out of the back door. Finally, the men carefully got off the trunk. Everyone was safe.

“Another foot,” Rodriguez told USA Today, “and this would be a different story. ”

1.What most probably caused the traffic accident?

A.The Mazda was overloaded. B.Sant was really speeding.

C.The wheel failed to work. D.The pickup cut in abruptly.

2.Why did the men ask Sant to move to the back seat?

A.To open the back door of the car. B.To fasten the rope to the truck.

C.To keep the balance of the car. D.To help the men get off the trunk.

3.What does Rodriguez want to stress in the last paragraph?

A.The timely help offered by rescuers.

B.The excellent cooperation of all the people.

C.The dangerous position where the car stopped.

D.The serious danger the rescuers faced.

4.Which of the following statements is consistent with the theme of the passage?

A.Persistence will pay off. B.One in trouble, all to help.

C.Many hands make light work. D.Doing is better than saying.

On Sunday, undersea explorer Tim Taylor and his team at the Lost 52 Project announced that they had located the long-lost submarine on June 5 about 1,427 feet underwater off Okinawa, Japan. Last year, researcher Yutaka Iwasaki found that the Navy had originally made an error in translating the Japanese war records that detailed where the Grayback had likely sunk. All this time, the Navy's historical records had listed an incorrect site for the submarine's location.

With the help of autonomous underwater vehicles, remotely operated vehicles and advanced imaging technology, the team discovered the Grayback about 100 miles from the area where it was originally thought to have gone down. The discovery was officially confirmed by the Navy, Robert S. Neyland, the head of the Naval History and Heritage.

On January 28, 1944, the Grayback set sail from Pearl Harbor for the East China Sea. About a month later, the submarine reported sinking two Japanese ships on February 19. Though the Grayback was scheduled to arrive in Midway on March 7, more than three weeks passed without sight of the submarine. And on March 30, 1944, the Grayback, one of the most successful submarines of World War II, was reported lost.

Gloria Hurney, whose uncle Raymond Parks died on the Grayback, said that she wasn't sure that the Grayback would ever be recovered. So when she first learned of the discovery, she felt a mixture of shock, disbelief, sadness. Eventually, though, those feelings turned into relief, comfort and peace. Hurney said in a statement to CNN. ''I believe it will allow recovery as relatives of crew members come together to share their stories. '' Neyland said in a statement, ''Each discovery of a sunken craft is an opportunity to remember and honor the service of our Sailors. ''

1.Why was the submarine NOT found before?

A.The Navy was wrong in changing records into Japanese .

B.The technology was not so advanced.

C.No information about the submarine was obtained.

D.There was no need to find it.

2.How was the submarine located?

A.By accident. B.By the Navy's hard-working.

C.By the families' determination. D.By modern technology.

3.What can be inferred from the text?

A.People's feeling about the discovery was complicated.

B.The Grayback would be recovered soon.

C.The Grayback was the most successful submarine of the World WarⅡ.

D.The Grayback was supposed to reach the destination on April 7.

4.What is the main idea of this text?

A.Tim Taylor and his team announced a new discovery.

B.A World War Ⅱ submarine was discovered.

C.An opportunity to remember and honor the service of Sailors.

D.A mistake the Navy made in translating the Japanese war records.

Kemira Boyd had just jumped in the shower when she heard her stepmother, Tammy Boyd, banging on the door. Kemira's 12-day-old daughter was choking. Having fed baby Ryleigh just 30 minutes earlier, the 24-year-old new mother burst out of the bathroom and began patting her daughter on the back. Ryleigh was usually quick to cry. Now she didn't make a sound. “I'd been told to raise their arms when babies are choking, so I tried that, but she still was hesitating to breathe,” Kemira told Today. She knew Ryleigh needed to get to the hospital fast.

The trio had barely made it out of their Summerville, South Carolina, neighborhood when the flashing lights of a police patrol car appeared behind them. Deputy Will Kimbro figured that the speeding driver was either too distracted to notice him or simply unconcerned. (1) Kimbro soon found cut it was a frightening combination of the two.

Once she had pulled over to the roadside, a crazy Tammy jumped out of the car, exclaiming that her granddaughter had stopped breathing. Desperate for help, Kemira handed the baby to Kimbro. He put a hand on her little chest. Ryleigh's heart was barely beating.

Kimbro radioed for an ambulance-it was seven minutes out, and the hospital was even further away. That was seven minutes Ryleigh didn't have, her lips already a bad shade of blue. ②　 He is a school resource officer who usually spends his days patrolling the halls of the middle school ten miles away. But he travels farther away when school is out in the summer. Even luckier: he had recently completed a CPR class and knew exactly how to treat a baby. “Although I was shocked, my training kicked in, and I went to work to keep that baby alive,” says Kimbro.

The deputy gave Ryleigh to Kemira to hold, his hands busy as he checked for a pulse. Then he began tapping and pressing Ryleigh's chest, hoping to massage her heart back into action. Thanks to the CPR class, Kimbro knew the choking baby didn't have a chance if there was a blockage, and he used one finger to clear her airway. That was the magic touch; 20 seconds later, Ryleigh began to fuss. Then came a weak crying sound. “If she is crying like that, she is breathing, said kimbro, the relief apparent in his trembling voice.” As long as she is crying, she is breathing.

But they still had five more minutes until EMT would arrive, and Kimbro worried that Ryleigh would be unable to breathe again. He continued with delicate chest compressions and periodically clearing her airway. “The whole time I was thinking ' Do not let this baby die in front of her mother and grandmother',” he later told Inside Edition.

③ 　In the body cam footage, Kimbro can be heard reassuring Kemira, the approaching sirens wailing in the background: “I didn't feel a heartbeat earlier, so I started massaging her heart, and now I feel it. It's real strong now.”

After transferring Ryleigh to an EMT, Kimbro peeked into the windows of the ambulance until it pulled away.　 ④ At the hospital, Ryleigh recovered quickly, and she was back to her usual active self in no time-thanks to a determined school police officer who was in the right place at the right time. Said Kimbro to the Washington Post, “That baby was living no matter what I had to do.”

1.Why did Kemira decide to send Ryleigh to hospital?

D.A CPR lesson is a must for police officers in Summerville, South Carolina.

A.① B.② C.③ D.④

4.How can Kimbro's life-saving process be described?

The morning she left for Camp Kanawa, Maria awoke with an ache in her stomach. She had gone on plenty of parties. She ’ d even spent a whole weekend at Aunt Jolie and Uncle Ed ’ s. So what happened to her?

No breakfast today, she thought, imagining the ache turning into throwing up and a horrible road trip after a full meal. As usual, Maria felt hungry as soon as the room smelled of French toast. On the other hand, maybe a good breakfast was exactly what she needed.

“There’ s my big camper!’’ said her mom. Then, she walked to the stove, placed two pieces of French toast on a plate and powdered sugar snowing down. “Just like you like it. ’’ At the meanwhile, Maria was already in position, armed with knife, fork, napkin and full glass of milk.

‘‘Get started while it ’ s hot. Your father ’ s coming down in a minute. I told him to shave. Don’t want the bear—I mean, the bushy black beard.”

“Okay，okay，” Maria’s dad said with a smile. “Clean as a whistle. Just like you ordered. ”

“ Really?” Maria ’ s mom shrugged (耸肩).

“ I think it ’ s fashionable，” Maria said，dipping a bite in some syrup (糖浆）.

“Well, your old man is fashionable,” her dad said, moving his head the way he did when he wanted to look like a cool surfer man but looked more like an Egyptian robot. “ In fact，I was the most popular kid at my camp.”

“For the record，it was a science camp,”　 Maria’s mother reminded her, looking her straight in the eyes. “In all seriousness, Maria, popularity is not important and finding the people who like you for you—that ’ s what matters. ”

“Your mom speaks the truth, Sugar,” said Maria’ s dad，wiping his thick beard with a napkin. “Just be yourself. You’ 11 definitely enjoy it.

1.What probably led to Maria’s hesitation to eat breakfast?

A.The lack of adequate nutrition.

D.The worry about getting overweight.
