Rescuers took one of the groups to hospital, suffering from hypothermia, soon after the coastguard was called to the incident in the sea off Hest Bank just after 9:10pm. A coastguard spokesman said numbers of other survivors（幸存者）were later located in the more northern area of the Bay at Arnsied. Those still missing in the treacherous waters remain at “serious risk of drowning”, said a Ministry of Defence spokesman. The group, all believed to be Chinese, were thought to have been out collecting cockles（鸟虾壳）when they became trapped, possibly by mud. An interpreter is thought to have been sent to the scene to assist with the rescue operation. Ric Phillips, from RAF Kinloss, which has been involved in the rescue attempt, said: “There were 23 Chinese people who we understand were actually cockling at a place called Hest Bank when they were cut off by the tide. “Mr. Philips said the weather was not too difficult for the rescue but the darkness was causing a problem. “The problem is that it’s dark and we’re searching for these people.” Obviously, the tide went fairly rapidly from waist level on these people up to their necks. “They are now floating around so the difficulty is going to be locating them in the dark.” Walkers go past the pretty village of Hest Bank as part of a popular trek across the sands of Moreambe Bay. However, they are warned that there are many dangers to avoid such as quick sand, and that the journey should only be taken at certain times during low tide. 56. A group of Chinese people were trapped at Morecambe Bay because of the . A. bad weather B. wrong guidance C. mud in the sea D. rapid rising tides 57. The rescue operation was very difficult for the reason of . A. the weather B. darkness C. the rising water D. the quick sand 58. Those still missing in the treacherous waters face the danger of . A. drowning in the rising water B. not noticing C. freezing cold D. cutting off by the tide 59. Actually, the Morecambe Bay is . A. very safe to visitors all the times B. very hard to walk on its quick sand C. very dangerous sometimes D. very dangerous all the times B Giving Back Fair Way The Westborough High School golf team had taken the official photos with the state prize. The other teams, disappointed, were on the bus heading home. And then Westborough instructor Greg Rota noticed something wrong on one of the score cards. A 9 had been recorded as a 7. They were not the state prize winner; Wobum High had won. “No one would have known,” said Wobum’s instructor, Bob Doran. For Rota, it wasn’t a difficult decision: “The prize wasn’t ours to take.” Coin Stars “College students are lazy, but they also want to help,” says University of Pennsylvania graduate Dana Hork. So she made it easy, placing cups in rooms where students could leave their spare coins, and handing out cups to first-year students to keep in their rooms. Her “Change for Change” effort has collected $40,000 for charities (慈善机构) , which were decided upon by students. Never Forgotten A school in Massachusetts received a $9.5 million check from Jacques LeBermuth. But it took officials several days of digging to discover his connection to the school. Records showed the LeBermuth came from Belgium and studied in the school in the 1920s. When his family fell on hard times, he was offered free room and board.

At a speed of only 30 miles per hour it is the same as falling from a third floor window. Wearing a seat belt saves lives; it reduces your chance of death or serious injury by more than half. Therefore drivers or front seat passengers over 14 most vehicles must wear a seat belt. If you do not, you could be fined up to $50. It will not be up to the drivers to make sure you wear your belt. But it will be the driver’s responsibility to make sure that children under 14 do not ride in the front unless they are wearing a seat belt of some kind. However, you do not have to wear a seat belt if you are reversing your vehicle; or you are making a local delivery or collection using a special vehicle; or if you have a valid medical certificate which excuses you from wearing it. Make sure these circumstances supply to you before you decide not to wear your seat belt. Remember you may be taken to court for not doing so, and you may be fined if you cannot prove to the court you have been excused from wearing. 65. This text is taken from_______. A. medical magazine B. a legal document C. a textbook D. a government information booklet 66. Wearing a seat belt in a vehicle________. A. reduces road accidents by more than half. B. saves lives while driving at a speed up to 30 miles per hour. C. reduces the death rate in traffic accidents D. saves more than 16,000 lives each year 67. It is the driver’s responsibility to ______. A. make the front seat passenger wear a seat belt. B. make the front seat children under 14 wear a seat belt C. stop children from riding in the front seat D. wear a seat belt each time he drives 68. For some people, it may be better to__________. A. wear a seat belt for health reasons B. (not to) wear seat for health reasons C. get a valid medical certificate before wearing a seat belt D. pay a fine rather than wear belt D There are three kinds of goals: short term, medium range and long-term goals. Short-term goals are those that usually deal with current activities, which we can apply on a daily basis. Such goals can be achieved in a week or less, or two weeks, or possibly months. It should be remembered that just as a building is no stronger than its foundation, our long-term goals cannot amount to very much without the achievement of solid short term. Upon completing our short-term goals, we should date the occasion and then add new short-term goals that will build on those that have been completed. The intermediate goals build on the foundation of the short-term goals. They might deal with just one term of school or the entire school year, or they could even extend for several years. Any time you move a step at a time, you should never allow yourself to become discouraged or overwhelmed. As you complete each step, you will enforce the belief in your ability to grow and succeed. And as your list of completion dates grow, your motivation and desire will increase. Long-term goals may be related to our dreams of the future. They might cover five years or more. Life is not a static thing. We should never allow a long-term goal to limit us or our course of action. 69. Long term goals mean a lot ________ . A. if we complete our short term goals B. if we cannot reach solid short term goals C. if we write down the dates D. if we put forward some plans 70. When we complete each step of our goal, _____________. A. we will win final success B. we are overwhelmed C. we should build up confidence of success D. we have strong desire for setting new goals 71. Once our goals are drawn up, __________. A. we should stick to them until we complete them B. we may change our goals as we have new ideas and opportunities C. we’d better wait for the exciting news of success D. we have made great decisions E BAM, Iran---A 56-year-old man was rescued alive after spending 13 days below ruins of the earthquake-flattened Iranian city of Bam, but he then slipped into a coma and doctors said yesterday they feared for his life. The man was found by rescuers on Wednesday afternoon trapped below a wardrobe （衣柜）which had apparently saved his life. “It seems he had some water because around him was wet,” said medic Mehdi Shadnoush, part of a Ukrainian-Iranian team. “When he arrived at the hospital his signs of life were very weak. He was frozen and now he is in a coma,” Shadnoush said. The man lay on a hospital bed covered by a white blanket and had an oxygen mask over his mouth and nose. He looked very thin and had a white-and-black beard. “We are following his condition minute by minute but we don’t hold out too much hope,” Shadnoush said. State radio had originally reported the man’s age as 57. But doctors said that when he was first brought to the hospital he had been able to give his first name, Jalil, and his age, 56. He then slipped into a coma overnight. He was the first survivor to come alive out of the ruins of the ancient Silk Road city 1,000 kilometres southeast of Teheran since a woman in her 90s was rescued on January 3. The December 26 earthquake, which measured 6.8 on the Richter scale, struck just before dawn, destroying 90 per cent of the city’s buildings and killing more than 30,000 people. Experts say it is very rare for people to survive for more than 72 hours in such conditions. Temperatures have fallen to around freezing most |
