The bus driver and his passengers were being hailed as heroes last night after rescuing a woman from her burning car following a crash on the Bluff Highway. The 60-year-old woman was taken by ambulance to Southland Hospital after firefighters battled for 30 minutes to cut her from her car.
Acting Senior Sergeant Brock Davis, of Invercargill, said emergency services were called to the scene of the crash at the crossroads of Motorimu Rd and State Highway I shortly before 5:00 p.m. yesterday.
Mr. Davis said a Mitsubishi car driven by a 30-year-old man traveling north on the highway and the woman’s southbound(南行的)Suzuki Alto collided(碰撞). The man suffered slight injuries in the crash, he said.
Invercargill Passenger Transport Ltd driver Bill McDermott and his passengers—New Zealand Aluminum Smelters Ltd workers were first on the scene and alerted emergency services. The scene at the spot was disordered, Mr. McDermott said.
“There was a car on its side and a guy wandering around who was quite excited,” he said. “We stopped, got out and found a lady trapped in her car …… then we noticed flames in the engine bay and the smell of petrol.” Mr. McDermott took a fire extinguisher(灭火器)from the bus,doused(泼洒)the flames,and several other workers controlled traffic.
However,he said his actions were “no big deal”. He was not willing to take any credit for helping the woman.
“The praise goes to all the guys that jumped off that bus.” Invercargill Senior Station officer Alan Goldsworthy, who was an officer in charge at the scene, said there was a possibility the car could have burst into flames if Mr. McDermott and the smelter workers had not helped. “They should acquire a good pat on the back.” he said.
1. It can be known from the passage that the car accident happened _____.
A.at noon | B.in the morning |
C.in the afternoon | D.at night |
2.Who should get the biggest praise according to the reporter?_____.
A.Brock Davis. | B.Bill McDermott. |
C.Allan Goldsworthy. | D.The firefighters. |
3.The underlined sentence “They should acquire a good pat on the back” in the last paragraph really means _____.
A.the government should give each of the heroes a gold medal of honor |
B.the saved woman should offer as much money to the heroes as she can |
C.everybody there should pat the heroes on the back gently and thankfully |
D.the good deeds of the heroes are well worthy of great appreciation |

In Canada and the United States, there is a new group of children called “satellite kids”, who live in one place but whose parents live in another place.
Asians are immigrating (移民) to Canada and the United States in larger numbers than ever before. Most Asians immigrate because they believe that they can give their children a better education in the West. In Asia, especially in China, Japan, and Korea, it is difficult to go to university. Students must first pass the strict national examination. However, in Canada and the United States, it is easy to go to university, and anyone who wants to go can go. As a result, Asian parents decide to leave their countries so that their children can go to university.
The problem is that when Asians arrive, they discover that finding a job and making money are more difficult in the West than in the East. Also, they find that they are very lonely, and that they miss their homes. For these two reasons, most Asian parents decide to go back to work while their children study in the West. Therefore, these children become “satellite kids”, and most of their parents do not know how sad it is to be a “satellite kid”.
Only until now are Canadians and Americans discovering the “satellite kid” problem. Because these children do not speak English and because their parents are not there to take care of them, they are often absent from school. To be a “satellite kid” means to grow up in a country where you know you are different and where you cannot make friends because you do not speak English well. Also, it means to grow up lonely, because your parents are elsewhere. What these “satellite kids” will probably say to their parents is that it’s better to have parents around than to have a university education.
1.Some Asian parents send their kids abroad because ________.
A.they hope their children may easily find a job there
B.all foreign universities are better than the ones in their own countries
C.the kids may not be accepted by universities in their own countries
D.the kids want to improve their English and make foreign friends
2.“Satellite kids” refer to Asian kids ________.
A.without parents B.speaking no English
C.with university education D.living abroad alone
3.Some Asian immigrant children become “satellite kids” because their parents ________.
A.want to leave their own country B.want them to go to university
C.return to their countries to work D.want them to be independent
4.What is the main idea of the passage?
A.Parents want better education for their kids.
B.Parents feel lonely and miss their families.
C.Kids in foreign countries alone are badly in need of care from family.
D.Canadians and Americans begin to notice the “satellite kids” problem.
