           Mr. Peter Johnson, aged twenty-three, battled for half an hour to escape from his trapped car yesterday
    when it landed upside down in three feet of water. Mr. Johnson took the only escape route-through the boot
    (行李箱).
           Mr. Johnson's car had finished up in a ditch (沟渠) at Romney Marsin, Kent after skidding on ice and
    hitting a bank. "Fortunately, the water began to come in only slowly," Mr. Johnson said. "I couldn't force the
    doors because they were jammed against the walls of the ditch and dared not open the windows because I
    knew water would come flooding in." 
           Mr. Johnson, a sweet salesman of Sitting Home, Kent, first tried to attract the attention of other motorists
    by sounding the horn and hammering on the roof and boot. Then he began his struggle to escape. Later he
    said, "It was really a half penny that saved my life. It was the only coin I had in my pocket and I used it to
    unscrew the back seat to get into the boot. 
           It took ten minutes to unscrew the seat, and a further five minutes to clear the sweet samples from the
    boot. Then Mr. Johnson found a wrench and began to work on the boot lock. Fifteen minutes passed by. "It
    was the only chance I had. Finally it gave, but as soon as I moved the boot lid, the water and mud poured in.
    I forced the lid down into the mud and jumped out of the ditch."
           His hands and arms cut and bruised (擦伤), Mr. Johnson got to Beckett Farm nearby, where he was
    looked after by the farmer's wife, Mrs. Lucy Bates. Huddled in a blanket, he said, "That thirty minutes seemed
    like hours." Only the tips of the car wheels were visible, police said last night. The vehicle had sunk into two
    feet of mud at the bottom of the ditch.
    1. What is the best title for this newspaper article?
    [     ]
    A. The Story of Mr. Johnson, A Sweet Salesman
    B. Car Boot Can Serve As The Best Escape Route
    C. Driver Escapes Through Car Boot
    D. The Driver Survived A Terrible Car Accident
    2. Which of the following objects is the most important to Mr. Johnson?
    [     ]
    A. The hammer.
    B. The coin.
    C.The screw.
    D. The horn.
    3. Which statement is true according to the passage?
    [     ]
    A. Mr. Johnson's car stood on its boot as it fell down.
    B. Mr. Johnson could not escape from the door because it was full of sweet jam.
    C. Mr. Johnson's car accident was partly due to the slippery road.
    D. Mr. Johnson struggled in the pouring mud as he unscrewed the back seat.

    A. Luckily the door was torn away in the end
    B. At last the hammer went broken
    C. The lock came open after all his efforts
    D. The chance was lost at the last minute
    5. It may be inferred from the passage that ______.

    one of the last days of summer.Already the days are shorter and the nights are cooler.Some kinds of
    apples are already ripe (成熟的). Others will be ready to pick soon.I think of my grandmother's apple
    pie, and how I used to make it with her.She died last year, before the apple harvest, and I have not had
    her pie since.I really miss her.I hear bees busily humming about, visiting the late summer flowers.The

         "But it won't be the same without Grandma, "  I tell him.
         "That's true, "  he says, "but nothing_is_the_same_without_Grandma.Still, I don't think that she would want us never to have another apple pie.What do you say?" I nod yes, and we walk towards home...

    阅读理解
         I'm usually fairly skeptical about any research that concludes that people are either happier or
    unhappier or more or less certain of themselves than they were 50 years ago. While any of these
    statements might be true, they are practically impossible to prove scientifically. Still, I was struck by
    a report which concluded that today's children are significantly more anxious than children in the
    1950s. In fact, the analysis showed, normal children aged 9 to 17 exhibit a higher level of anxiety
    today than children who were treated for mental illness 50 years ago.
         Why are America's kids so stressed? The report cites two main causes: increasing physical
    isolation(隔离) brought on by high divorce rates and less involvement in community, among other
    things and a growing perception that the world is a more dangerous place.
          Considering that we_can't_turn_the_clock_back,_adults can still do plenty to help the next
    generation.
         At the top of the list is nurturing(培育) a better appreciation of the limits of individualism. No
    child is an island. Strengthening social ties helps build communities and protect individuals against
    stress.
          To help kids build stronger connections with others, you can pull the plug on TVs and computers.
    Your family will thank you later. They will have more time for facetoface relationships, and they will
    get more sleep.
         Limit the amount of virtual(虚拟的) violence your children are exposed to. It's not just video
    games and movies; children see a lot of murder and crime on the local news.
         Keep your expectations for your children reasonable. Many highly successful people never attended
    Harvard or Yale.
         Make exercise part of your daily routine. It will help you cope with your own anxieties and provide
    a good model for your kids. Sometimes anxiety is unavoidable. But it doesn't have to ruin your life.
     
    1. According to the analysis, compared with normal children today, children treated as mentally ill 50
        years ago ________.
    A. probably suffered less from anxiety
    B. were considered less individualistic
    C. were less isolated physically
    D. were probably less selfcentered

    2. What does the author mean by saying "we can't turn the clock back" in the third paragraph?
    A. It's impossible to forget the past.
    B. The social reality children are facing cannot be forgotten.
    C. It's impossible to slow down the pace of change.
    D. Lessons learned from the past should not be forgotten.

    3. The author thinks that the conclusions of any research about people's state of mind are ________.
    A. illogical  
    B. confusing
    C. surprising  
    D. questionable

    4. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
    A. To children, anxiety is completely avoidable.
    B. TV and computer play an important role in isolating children from the real world.
    C. Exercise does not help to lessen children's anxiety.
    D. Sometimes local news about crime and murder also affects children a little.

    5. The first and most important thing parents should do to help their children is________.
    A. to lower their expectations for them
    B. to set a good model for them to follow
    C. to get them more involved socially
    D. to improve them with a safer environment
