Waiting for the airplane to take off, I was happy to get a seat by myself. Just then,

an air hostess came and asked, “Would you mind

21

your seat? A couple would

like to sit together.” The only

22

seat was next to a girl with her arms in casts

(

石膏绷带

). “No way

am

I going to

sit there, was my immediate

23

. But

a soft

voice spoke, “She needs help.” Finally, I

decided to move to that seat. The girl was

named Kathy, who had been in a car accident and now was on her way for treatment.

When the snack and juice arrived, it did not take me long to

24

that Kathy

would not be able to feed herself. I considered

25

to feed her but hesitated, as it

seemed

too close

a

service

to

offer

to

a

26

.

But

then

I

was

fully

aware

that

Kathy’s

need

was

more

27

than

my

discomfort.

I

offered

to

help

her

eat,

and although

she

too

was

28

about

accepting,

she did.

We

became

closer

and

closer soon. By the end of the five- hour trip my heart was fully

29

, and the time

was really better spent than if I had just sat by myself.

I was very glad to sit next to Kathy and feed her. When we give another a

A

The

story

you

are

about

to

read

is

almost

unbelievable,

but

it

is

true.

It

happened one winter's night in 1944, during World War II. Airplanes of the Royal Air

Force, after dropping their bombs on Germany, were on their way home.

In each plane, men looked anxiously over their guns into the darkness. This

was

the

time

when

enemy

fighter

planes

might

attack.

One

of

the

air- gunners

was

Nick Alkemade. He was a gunner in the back of the plane and he sat in the rear-gun

position, at the very tail of the plane. It was so small that before climbing in, Nick had

taken

off

his

parachute

and

left

it

in

another

part

of

the

plane.

He

felt

more

comfortable without it. Soon, however, he began to feel very uncomfortable indeed.

Suddenly there was a terrible explosion and the whole aircraft shook. The whole of

the

middle

part

of

the

plane

burst

into

flames

and

Nick

heard

the

captain

shout,

At

first

Nick

could

not

get

out

of

his

seat.

The

tiny

door

was

stuck.

After

struggling with all his strength for several moments, he forced it open. He looked for

his parachute but it was already burning. He had to make a terrible decision: he could

stay in the plane and be burnt to death or he could jump without a parachute and be

smashed to death, after falling 6,000 metres. He jumped!

The cold air hit him and he could not breathe. At this height the air is too thin

to breathe properly. As Nick began to lose consciousness, he thought,

it's like to die.

When

he

woke

up

some

time

later,

he

could

not

believe

that

he

was

alive.

Slowly he moved his arms, then his legs. They

seemed all right. He was lying in

a

huge pile of snow. When he looked up, he saw a large fir tree. Its branches had broken

his fall and the pile of snow had completed his soft landing.

When he got to his feet, he found that his back and one leg hurt but he was

able to walk. He made his way to a German farm, and soon he was a prisoner, in a

hospital

bed.

At

first

the

Germans

did

not

believe

his

story.

Later,

however,

they

found the crashed plane and his partly- burnt parachute, with his name and number on

it.

This

was

the

first

time

a

man

had

jumped

five

and

a

half

kilometres

without

a

parachute and still lived!

46. Nick took off his parachute because _______.

A. it was much too heavy for him to carry.

B. he rear-gun position was very small.

C. he would feel much safer without it.

D. it was useless in the rear-gun position.

47. Which of the following is the right order of the Nick’s story ?

a. laying his parachute aside

b. hearing a terrible explosion

c. coming to a German farm and surprising the Germans

d. finding his parachute on fire

e. landing on the ground alive

f. deciding to jump off without a parachute

A. c, a, b, d, e, f

B. d, a, e, b, f, c

C. a, b, d, f, e, c

D. f. d, b, a, e, c

48. The underlined word “consciousness” in Paragraph 4 most probably me

ans ____ .

A. sense

B. balance

C. control

D. heart

49. It can be inferred from the passage that Nick was saved by ___________.

A. a German soldier

B. the soft ground

C. a large fir tree

D. a German farmer

50. Why didn't the Germans believe his story at first?

A.

Because

he

was

still

alive

after

jumping

from

a

great

height

without

a

parachute.

B. Because only one of his legs was hurt after he jumped from the plane.

C. Because he was able to walk without help to a German farm.

D. Because they found the crashed plane and his partly-burnt parachute.

B

More

than

four

million

people

are

bitten

by

dogs

every

year.

Don’t

be

one

of

them.

Do keep the following in mind for the sake of your children’s as w

ell as

your

own safety.

*

Teach

children

not

to

put

their

faces

close

to

animals

—

including

their

own

pets.

* Don’t wrestle or play “tug of war” and other rough games with dogs. They can

become over-excited and nip.

* Don’t try to pull a toy, a stick, or any other item from a dog’s mouth.

* Don’t approach a dog that is injured.

* Always approach a dog from the front or side, and never from behind, all the

while speaking to it quietly. A surprised dog may bite.

* Never stick your hand into a dog’s crate, pen,

or another enclosed space such

as a car. This is the dog’s territory, and he may feel he has to bite to protect it.

* Never wade into a dog fight to separate the animals, even if one is your dog.

Even professional dog trainers often are bitten in such situations.

* Teach children not to tease animals, nor to ride them, put clothes on them, or

keep

attempting

to

play

with

a

tired

pet.

Children

often

provoke

bites.

(And

this

is

anoth

er reason never to leave children, and especially babies and preschoolers’,

alone

with any dog.)

* Never turn your back on a strange dog, or on a dog moving toward you.

* Pivot slowly if a dog tries to circle behind you, and move away.

* Don’t gesture, hand a dog’s owner a package, or even offer to shake hands if a

dog is watching you intently. The dog can interpret these as threatening motions, and

bite to

protect his

master or mistress. Stand still until

the dog sniffs

you, or moves

away.

*

Remember

that

any

dog

with

a

history

of

aggression

is

not

an

appropriate

choice for families with children.

*

Don’t

base

decisions

about

how

to

behave

around

dogs

on

their

breed.

Any

kind of dog can bite.

* Never approach a dog when you don’t see the owner, especially if the dog is in

a car, behind a fence, or on a chain.

* Never run to a dog

you don’t know.

Teach children about dog safety and review the rules often.

And

if

you’re

bitten,

report

the

bite.

If

you

are

not

sure

whom

to

call

in

your

community, call the police non-emergency lines and ask.
