A friend of mine met with an accident driving in darkness. His legs were so hurt that he couldn’t move. What was the was he found himself unable to ask for help — his mobile phone went out of as a result of exhausted battery. Nothing could be done but to in cold wilderness. It was 8 hours later that day broke, and then the of the rescue.
It is almost that he could stand the horror in the darkness for so long. Even more surprising was his : "First of all I checked up my conditions and found myself not in mortal （致命的）danger. As there was no way to call for help, I leaned back in my seat trying my best to keep the wound from . In this way I dozed （打盹）off ."
His story put an end to my regret for the of an exploration adventure that happened last year. A group of young men to explore a mountain cave and got lost. to find a way out in the dark cave they were frightened and ran anxiously without a sense of .Finally they fell dead in fear and exhaustion. According to the people that found them, the place where they got lost was only about 10 meters away from the of the cave. If they stayed on the spot when they lost their way and tried to themselves, they would probably sense a faint light glimmering （闪烁）not far away .
Don’t you think that you can compare it with itself? When you meet with obstacles （障碍）in life and work, you are lost in darkness. you it’s unclear yet and you needn’t put up struggle . It seems to be a negative attitude, a person who can afford to do so must have foresight as well as a great in the first place.

They think they"re lucky and it"s Christmas again. They can"t see that we live on a dirty street in a shabby house among people who aren"t much good. Johnny and the children can"t see how pitiful it is that our neighbors have to make happiness out of this filth and dirt. My children must get out of this. But how? The money that we"ve saved isn"t nearly enough.
The McGaritys have money, but they are show-offs with it. The McGarity girl just yesterday stood out there in the street eating from a bag of cookies while a ring of hungry children watched her. I saw those children looking at her and crying in their hearts, and when she couldn"t eat any more, she threw the rest down the sewer(阴沟).
Miss Jackson who teaches at the Settlement House isn"t rich, but she knows things. She understands people. Her eyes look straight into yours when she talks with you. Everybody else here looks away because they"re ashamed of their lives. I"d like to see the children would be like Miss Jackson when they grew up.
小题1:The writer"s family is the poorest one on that street.

小题3:The writer thinks Miss Jackson is an example her children should follow.
小题4:The writer wants to move out of that district.

The Johnson family from England believe they are lucky to be alive after surviving an incredible incident off the coast of Australia. The Johnsons had been that they might see some whales when they were _ a yacht （帆船）— a large expensive boat for a 10-day sailing around the Whitsunday Islands. , they had no clue just how their viewing would be. Two hours into their journey a nine-meter-long humpback whale out of the ocean and crashed into their boat before returning to the water.
Mark Johnson，the eldest son，was sailing the yacht when he heard an immense bang and a thud(重击声).He thought the yacht had hit a rock. However, when he looked up, he saw the whale down the deck of the boat. He told the reporters, “ We were staring into its right eye. It was a very _ moment. The eye was about the of a dinner plate. It was huge.”
for the Johnson family, no one was hurt, but the yacht suffered damage. The whale had ruined the mast and rigging — the pole and ropes which hold the ——and so the family was left at sea, 10 miles from the shore. The equipment was also damaged, but fortunately they had a cell phone and were able to call for help.
Why the whale jumped onto the yacht is a ，but the family thinks that maybe the boat had not sailed between the whale and its baby calf. Perhaps the whale was trying to its calf when it jumped, hit the yacht by chance.
Whatever the reason, people are completely that this incident happened. There is over 135 million square miles of ocean , so what are the of a whale jumping onto a 30-foot-long yacht? The chance of something like this happening is miniscale, but it just shows that life is full of surprises.

When Jean Calment entered the world in 1875, telephones and automobiles still lay in the future. Albert Einstein and Pablo Picasso were not yet born. The Eiffel Tower was 14 years from being built. As a teenager, she met Vincent Van Gogh, near her home in Arles, in the south of France. He was “very ugly, ungracious, impolite, sick—I forgive him, they called him loco.” She recalled. When she died last week at age 122, she was the world’s oldest person. (There were others who claimed to the title, but only Calment had the official documents to prove her age)
Each February 21, her birthday, she would share the secrets of long life. Some years it was “a sense of humor”, others it was “keeping busy”. “God may have forgotten me,” she once explained. The truth probably was that she had good genes. Her mother reportedly lived to be 86 and her father 94.
Her life had its sadness: she outlived her husband, her only daughter and her grandson. According to a friend, she was imperturbable. “If you can’t do anything about it,” she reportedly said, “don’t worry about it.”
In her last years she was nearly blind and deaf, but her health remained good. She ate a few bars of chocolate each week and continued smoking until a few years ago, when she could no longer light her own cigarettes. She never lost her sense of humor. On her 110th birthday, she commented, “I have only ever had one wrinkle, and I am sitting on it.” Her longevity made her famous. Her spirits made her eternal(永恒的)
小题1:Why does the author mention Albert Einstein, Pablo Picasso and the Eiffel Tower?| A．To show that Calment had seen famous people and things. | | B．To emphasize that Calement was born a long time ago. | | C．To indicate that Calement is just as famous. | | D．To admire the knowledge that Calement had. |
小题2:The author believes that Calment’s longevity is mainly due to _____.| A．a sense of humor | B．being kept busy | C．belief in God | D．good genes |
小题3:The underlined word imperturbable means ______.| A．calm | B．humorous | C．friendly | D．healthy |
