One night last February, a seventeen-year-old Duffy drove home along a winding road, he saw a strange light thrown against the tree. “I knew it wasn’t the moon”, he said. “I drive this road all the time and I notice little things out of place.”
Duffy stopped his car and got out to examine. Below him far down in the deep valley lay a broken car with its headlights on. Thirty minutes earlier, a man had driven off the edge of the road, which h as no guardrail. His car fell and rolled end over end, landing on its top more than two hundred feet below.
Duffy rushed to call for help, then returned and got down to reach the injured driver. Snow covered the valley and the temperature was below freezing. After struggling back up the cliff, Duffy took off his jacket and shirt and wrapped the injured man in time, along with the blankets from his car.
Life-saving deeds are starting to become usual action for Duffy, the oldest of seven children. When he was 12, he saved his ten-year-old brother from drowning.

The next day he 47 his way upward. He was so lonely and so tired! But he would not give up. Again that night he lit the 48 light.
In the morning, Bonatti looked up. He could not see the top, but he knew he was 49 there. 50 the climb was painful, he moved up.
Bonatti had spent months 51 for the climb. Was the training enough? Did he have the strength and 52 to climb to the top?
He was finally at the top! News about his 53 was radioed to the world.

He has lived through various dangers but time may be running out for the Palestinian leader, Yasser Arafat.
On September 11, Israel announced its decision to remove him, following several Palestinian suicide bomb attacks on Israel. “He should be punished for the killings,” an Israeli official said, “He has done nothing to stop the terrorist groups.”
But the decision has angered many other countries. China said that Arafat is the true leader, elected by the Palestinian people, and removing him would harm the peace in the Middle East. Other governments share this idea.
Arafat himself said: “They can kill me, but never get me out of my country.” He has spent most of his life in danger as the most important aim of Israel. But, just like a cat with nine lives, Arafat escaped every time.
For years he has made a practice of sleeping in a different bed each night, thinking a moving person is harder to hit. In 1985, Israel sent fighter planes to kill Arafat. The wild bombing destroyed his office in Tunis but Arafat himself was unhurt. In 1992, the aircraft in which he was flying over North Africa broke in two during a crash landing. The pilot was killed but he managed to remain alive.
What is so unbelievable is that he always remains calm in great danger. Israeli tanks and planes attacked his office building in Ram Allah in December 2001. When they saw the attackers coming, Arafat’s bodyguards took no notice of his orders to stay still and carried him to safety underground. Seconds later, several bombs were dropped nearby. Though safe, his bodyguards were so frightened that they were wet in sweat.
But, Arafat, with Israeli tanks onl y 200 meters away, showed no fear at all. He stayed in the damaged office, talking by phone with foreign leaders in hope of preventing further attacks from Israel.
All these experiences have made him a beloved leader to his people and an enemy to some others.
But has he used up the last of his nine lives? Only time will tell.
小题1:. According to the passage, which statement is true?| A．In 1992, Arafat’s plane crashed in South Africa. | | B．Israeli officers thought Arafat himself sent the terrorist groups to Israel. | | C．China is the only country against Israel’s decision of removing Arafat. | | D．Being Palestinian leader, Arafat would rather die in his own country than be driven away |
from his people.
小题2:. . What did the author mean by saying “just like a cat has nine lives” when he talked about Arafat?| A．Arafat is as clever as a cat. | | B．Arafat can live as long as a cat. | | C．Arafat can stay alive after accidents or disasters as if he has nine lives. | | D．Arafat should have died for at least 8 times. |
小题3:. The underlined phrase “took no notice of” can be replaced by __________.| A．obeyed | B．ignored | C．disagreed | D．dissatisfied |
小题4:. . What’s the writer’s attitude towards Arafat’s future, judging from the last sentence of the passage?| A．Hopeful. | B．Interesting. | C．Satisfactory. | D．Doubtful. |
