Eight – year – old Jesse Abrogate was playing in the sea late one evening in July 2001 when a 7-foot bull shark attacked him and tore off his arm. Jesse’s uncle jumped into the sea and dragged the boy to shore. The boy was not breathing. His aunt gave him mouth-to-mouth resuscitation (人工呼吸) while his uncle rang the emergency services. Pretty soon, a helicopter arrived and flew the boy to hospital. It was a much quicker journey than the journey by road.
Jesse’s uncle, Vance Folsenzier, ran back into to the sea and found the shark that had attacked his nephew. He picked the shark up and threw it onto the beach. A coastguard shot the fish four times and although this did not kill it, the shark’s jaws relaxed so that they could open them, and reach down into its stomach, and pull out the boy’s arm.
At the Baptist Hospital in Pensacola, Dr. Ian Rogers spent eleven hours reattaching Jesse’s arm. “It was a complicated operation,” he said, “but we were lucky. If the arm hadn’t been recovered in time, we wouldn’t have been able to do the operation at all. What I mean is that if they hadn’t found the shark, well then we wouldn’t have had a chance.’
According to local park ranger Jack Tomosvic, shark attacks are not that common. “Jesse was just unlucky,” he says, “evening is the shark’s feeding time. And Jesse was in area without lifeguards. This would never have happened if he had been in area where swimming is allowed.’
When reporters asked Jesse’s uncle how he had had the courage to fight a shark, he replied, “I was mad and you do some strange things when you’re mad.”
1.What was the boy doing when the accident happened?
A.Feeding a hungry shark. B.Jumping into the rough sea.
C.Dragging a boy to the shore. D.Swimming in a dangerous area.
2.In which way did the boy’s uncle help with the operation?
A.By finding his lost arm. B.By shooting the fish.
C.By flying him to hospital. D.By blowing into his mouth.
3.How was his uncle in time of danger?
A.Careful. B.Brave. C.Optimistic. D.Patient.
4.Which of the following statements can be inferred from the passage?
A. Jesse’s uncle was mad.
B. Jesse was playing in area where swimming is allowed.
C. It was very difficult for the doctor to reattach Jesse’s arm.
D. Evening is the shark’s feeding time.

Actor Warwick Davis realized he was shorter than other people when he was eight years old. He suddenly noticed all his schoolmates were twice his size. It was then that the effect of having dwarfism hit him for the first time.
Now aged 48, Davis says, “I have very fond memories of school but I realized I had to become a little bit louder and funnier so I wouldn’t get left out of conversations. I became quite the performer, so being short was my training in acting.”
It worked. Director George Lucas cast young Warwick as the Ewok Wicket in Return of the Jedi. The actor has gone on to star in many TV shows and films, including playing Professor Flitwick in the Harry Potter films.
Warwick’s dwarfism means he is 1.07 meters tall, while the average UK adult male height is 1.78 meters. Most types of dwarfism are caused by a genetic disorder that stops some of the body’s building blocks working properly.
Davis has a positive attitude to being “different”. He says, “If I had my life all over again, I would choose the same job and be the same height. I have enjoyed every minute. At school I played rugby and football and tried long jump and high jump. I wasn’t very good at them but I always had a go. I defeated everyone at chin-ups (引体向上) because I had a low body weight combined with a strong upper body from climbing up to the top cupboards to reach the biscuit boxes at home.”
Warwick is supporting Jeans for Genes Day, a charity raising public concern for millions of children born with genetic disorders in the U.K. He says, “Even if you can only give a tiny amount of money, it will make such a difference to the children.”
1.Why did Warwick Davis decide to become a little bit louder and funnier?
A. It was his training in his acting.
B. He didn’t want to be ignored by his classmates.
C. The effect of having dwarfism influenced him strongly.
D. The genetic disorder prevented his body from working properly.
2.What can be inferred from paragraph 5?
A. Davis has a positive attitude to being “different”.
B. Davis turns his short body to his advantage at chin-ups.
C. Davis is not fond of rugby and football, long jump and high jump.
D. Davis doesn’t want to choose the same job if he can live his life again.
3.Warwick Davis can be best described as “___________”.
A. pleased B. independent C. sensitive D. confident
4.Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A. My Strong Upper Body B. Dwarfism Caused by Genetic Disorder
C. Height Is Not My Limitation D. More Money, Bigger Difference
