The 30-mile road that runs through the mountains of Willie Valley makes most drivers′ hands sweat. But Andersen, a 46-year-old father of four, wasn’t expecting any trouble on the road last New Year’s Eve, when he set off for a ski trip to the Bear Mountains with nine-year-old daughter Mia, four-old son Baylor, and nine-year-old neighbor Kenya. Andersen had driven through the Valley hundreds of times over the years.
The weather was fine. But the higher they drove, the more slippery the road became. Rounding a sharp U-turn, Andersen saw a heavy truck off the road and immediately hit his brakes. In a minute, the car was going at 25 miles per hour down the mountain before falling down from a ten-foot dam into the extremely cold Logan River.
The crash had broken a few windows, and within seconds, the car was filled with water. “It was frightening that we were going fast into deep water,” remembers Andersen, a soft-spoken manager.
Having lost all sense of direction, Andersen began to search the freezing water for the kids. Mia had been right next to him in the front seat; now, in the blackness, he couldn’t find her. “I thought, if I don’t get out, maybe none of us are going to get out.” Andersen got out of his seat belt, swam through a broken window, and, deeply and quickly, breathed air at the surface. That’s when he saw a group of men, about ten in all, appear at the top of the dam. One after another, they rushed down into the water. Helping onto safety all the three children, they began to shout at the father, “Who else is in the car?”
Andersen says respectfully, “It was like the sight of angels.”
1. What might be the main cause of the car accident?
A. The bad weather. B. The high dam.
C. The sudden brake. D. The heavy truck.
2. Andersen didn’t expect any trouble on the road because _____.
A. he was familiar with the road
B. he was good at driving
C. his hands didn’t have sweat
D. the weather was fine
3. What can be learned from the last paragraph?
A. Andersen lost consciousness in the water.
B. Strangers helped Andersen out of the car.
C. Andersen liked Mia most among the children.
D. Strangers teamed together to save three children.
4.The underlined sentence is to express Andersen’s feeling of being _____.
A. tired B. excited C. doubtful D. thankful
5.Which of the following can be the best title of the text?
A. Stay calm when in trouble
B. Drive rounding a U-turn
C. Miracle rescue from a river
D. Mystery of the Bear Mountains

Good Housekeeping has discovered that even if a child wear a helmet when she bikes, or skates, it may not protect her from a serious head injury.
Every year, 390,000 children under age 15 go to hospital emergency rooms with bike-related injuries. Of that number, about one third children suffer head injuries and an estimated 200 die. By wearing a helmet, a child can reduce her risk of injury by as much as 85 percent. But remember —— a bicycle helmet must fit properly to be safe. Here are five steps to making sure your child's helmet fits properly.
1) If you haven't bought your child's helmet already, you might want to consider one with a rear stabilizer(穩(wěn)定桿). A rear stabilizer holds the back of the head gently and helps the helmet stay correctly positioned.
2) The helmet should fit closely and shouldn't slide from side to side or front to back. If your child can put two fingers on both temples inside the helmet, it's too big. Try a smaller size. But if the next size down is too small, use the fit pads(護墊). Fit pads come in different sizes and attach to the helmet with Velcro.
3) Tell your child to open her mouth widely and ask if she can feel the helmet push down onto the top of her head. If she can't, you need to readjust her helmet.
4) To prevent strap slippage, wind a rubber band around the strap where it meets the fastener.
5) Recheck the fit regularly.
You should replace the bicycle helmet:
If she has been in an accident with it.
If the buckle(金屬扣) breaks or if a piece breaks off.
If it doesn't have a U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, American Society for Testing and Materials, or Snell Memorial Foundation sticker.
If it doesn't fit correctly. Even if the helmet fit perfectly two years ago, it might be too small now.
1.Who is this passage mainly written for?
A. Children. B. Teachers. C. Parents. D. helmet producers.
2.What does the author mainly want to stress in the second paragraph?
A. The bike-related injury is a serious threat to the children.
B. The bicycle helmets must fit properly while the children are biking.
C. It’s necessary for the children to wear helmets while biking.
D. Many students suffer bike-related injuries every year.
3.If a girl finds a helmet a little bit big for her head, what should she do?
A. She must buy a smaller size.
B. She can use some fit pads.
C. She can put fingers on both temples inside the helmet.
D. She must make helmet slide from side to side.
4.Phil White, a father, found the buckle of his girl’s helmet broken, he can_______
A. buy a new bicycle helmet for her
B. mend the bicycle helmet himself
C. continue to use the bicycle helmet
D. throw away the broken buckle

In earliest times, men considered lightning to be one of the great mysteries of nature. Some ancient people believed that lightning and thunder were the weapons of the gods.
In reality, lightning is a flow of electricity formed high above the earth. A single flash of lightning 1.6 kilometres long has enough electricity to light one million light bulbs .
The American scientist and statesman, Benjamin Franklin, was the first to show the connection between electricity and lightning in 1752. In the same year he also built the first lightning rod (避雷針). This device protects buildings from being damaged by lightning.
Modern science has discovered that one stroke of lightning has a voltage (電壓) of more than 15 million volts (伏特). A flash of lightning between a cloud and the earth may be as long as 13 kilometers, and travel at a speed of 30 million meters per second.
Scientists judge that there are about 2,000 million flashes of lightning per year. Lightning hits the Empire State Building in New York City 30 to 48 times a year. In the United States alone it kills an average of one person every day.
The safest place to be in case of an electrical storm is in a closed car. Outside, one should go to low ground and not get under tress. Also on,e should stay out of water and away from metal fences. Inside a house, people should avoid open doorways and windows and not touch wires or metal things.
With lightning, it is better to be safe than sorry.
1.People once thought lightning came from ________.
A.the gods |
B.the earth |
C.the sky |
D.nature |
2.According to the passage what do you think all buildings need?
A.Metal fences. |
B.Machines. |
C.Electricity. |
D.Lightning rods |
3.Lightning can travel ________.
A.a(chǎn)s quickly as water |
B.not so quickly as electricity |
C.a(chǎn)t very high speed |
D.a(chǎn)t very low speed |
4.Which of the following is NOT true?
A.In the U.S about one person per day dies from lightning. |
B.Swimming during a thunder storm is a good idea. |
C.The Empire State Building frequently gets hit by lightning. |
D.A closed car is the best place to be during an electrical storm. |
