A man noticed his father alive on television ...

A man noticed his father alive on television — five years after he thought he had cremated(火化) him. A body discovered three years after his disappearance in 2000 was thought to be the pensioner (a retired person), but it’s now emerged(显出) it wasn’t.

When John Delaney disappeared, he was spending much of his time living outside, and sleeping on the streets. He was last seen in a hospice(收容所) in Manchester. His family searched the streets of the city for him but had no luck. So when a badly-rotten body was found in the grounds of the Manchester Royal Infirmary in 2003, wearing similar clothes, police believed it was Mr Delaney and his family held a funeral.

But earlier this year his son, John Renehan, saw a picture of his father on a BBC programme.

An appeal was being made for anyone who knew the man — who had memory loss—to give information.

John Renehan:

Well I knew at that very moment that was my dad. I knew at that very moment. Obviously his face, it was a bit changed, but I just knew at that very moment that was my dad. It emerged that John Delaney had been living in a care home for the last eight years.

Police have admitted they made mistakes and their enquiries were insufficient. Mr Delaney’s son now wants to know the identity of the man he cremated — thinking it was his father.

1.John Renehan cremated his “father”         .

A．in 2003          B．in 2000          C．in 2005          D．in 2008

B．In 2003, they took a badly-rotten body for Mr Delaney.

C．They didn’t give any information to John Renehan.

3.The most probable reason why Delaney disappeared was that        .

A．he had memory loss.                  B．his family disliked him

C．he liked to live outside                 D．he met with a friendly family

4.It can be inferred from the passage that Delaney        .

B．often quarrelled with his family

C．loitered(游荡) in the streets for 5 years

D．was once a man with luck

A Swedish man was dug out alive after being snowed in his car on a forest track for two months with no food, police and local media reported on Saturday.

The 45-year-old from southern Sweden was found on Friday, February17, too weak to say more than a few words.

He was found not far from the city of Umea in the north of Sweden by snowmobilers who thought they had come across a ruined car until they dug their way to a window and saw movement inside.

The man, who was lying in the back seat in a sleeping bag, said he had been in the car since December 19.

“Just incredible that he’s alive considering that he had no food, but also since it’s been really cold for some time after Christmas.” a rescue team member told regional daily Vasterbottens- Kuriren, which broke the news.

Ebbe Nyberg, duty officer at the Umea police, said police saw no reason to doubt that the man had been stuck in the car for a very long time.

“We would not make up something like this. The rescue services were on site too and saw the same as us.” he told Vasterbottens-Kuriren.

Umea University Hospital, where the man is recovering after being rescued by police and a rescue team, said in a statement he was doing well considering the circumstances.

Doctors at the hospital said humans would normally be able to survive for about four weeks without food. Besides eating snow, the man probably survived by going into a dormant-like(休眠似的) state, physician Stefan Branth told Vasterbottens-Kuriren.

“A bit like a bear that hibernates. Humans can do that.” he said. “He probably had a body temperature of around 31 degrees which the body adjusted to. Due to the low temperature, not much energy was used up.”

“Why the man ended up under the snow in the forest remains unknown,” police said.

1.Who found the Swedish man in the snow?

A．Snowmobilers      B．The police         C．A rescue team      D．Local people

2.“Police saw no reason to doubt that the man had been stuck in the car for a very long time.” implies that 　　　.

A．police didn’t think it true                B．police were sure of the fact

C．police had some doubt on the fact          D．police had reasons to doubt the fact

3.The reason why the man could survive was most probably that 　　　.

A．he was only forty-five year old             B．he did not use any energy

C．he slept in the sleeping bag                D．he was in a dormant-like state

4.Which is the correct order of the following events?

a．The Swedish man was stuck in the snow.     b．He was sent to Umea University Hospital.

c．He was found by snowmobilers.            d．He was recovering after treatment.

e．He stayed in his car for nearly two months.   f．He was dug out by people.

A．e, a, c, d, f, b       B．a, e, c, f, b, d        C．a, f, c, e, b, d       D．e, c, f, a, d, b

A．A Traffic Accident                       B．A Long Sleep in Winter
