Last winter, when I was heavily pregnant, I was visiting my sister and brother-in-law's house and had to park in a nearby parking lot because they didn't have accessible parking. The snow was extremely heavy and there was lots of ice on the ground --- not many people had ventured out that evening!
When I returned to my car around 11pm, I noticed that I was the only car left. Nervously, I hopped into the car and let it warm up a bit. When I finally tried to drive away, my wheels began to spin. I was stuck! I spun and spun and wondered what to do.
All of a sudden, in my rear view mirror, I saw four teen-aged boys approaching my car. They were walking side by side in a line and dressed a bit like gang members --- at least I thought that's what they looked like. My car was in a very isolated area and I began to panic. I was certain they were coming to my car to harm me. Terrified, I just froze. One of the young men tapped on my window and said "Excuse me, Ma'am, can we help you? You seem stuck." Still afraid and fearing the worst, I said "I am stuck." And the young man said "It's okay, stay in your car and we'll push you out of the snow." And they did!
When they finally got me out of the snow, they smiled and waved. I rolled down my window and thanked them, embarrassed to have judged them so poorly

Damage to Ozone Layer Gets Worse

    In the middle of winter, when snow is falling in many parts of the United States, scientists have sounded a warning to people who plan to spend many hours in the sun this summer.The warning: The sun's summertime rays are more dangerous than once thought.

    A team of scientists from 80 nations recently reported to the United Nations that a layer of ozone(臭氧层)in the atmosphere, which protects humans from harmful levels of ultraviolet(紫外线)radiation, will be thinner over the United States this summer.The thinner layer allows more ultraviolet rays from the sun to reach Earth.The extra amount of ultraviolet radiation could cause an increase in the number of cases of skin cancer.

    Scientists first became concerned about the layer in the mid-1980s when a hole was discovered in the layer above Antarctica during the winter.The hole was caused in chemicals used in refrigerators and air conditioners.When these chemicals are sent out into the atmosphere, they produce gases that destroy the ozone.

    Concern about the protective ozone layer rose more recently when data from satellites and ground stations showed that ozone levels were dropping over areas other than Antarctica.Low ozone levels were recorded in the spring and summer over the United States and over other populated areas in the world.

    Although many countries have already begun stopping the use of ozone-destroying chemicals, the new findings are expected to advance the timetable for a total ban of the chemicals.

The scientists have observed the ozone layer ______.

    A.since 1980                     B.since last winter

    C.for more than 20 years            D.for about one year

The ozone layer in the atmosphere can ______.

    A.do a lot of good to human beings in many ways

    B.protect humans from diseases caused by bad weather

    C.do a lot of harm to human beings in the summer-time

    D.protect humans from harmful levels of ultraviolet radiation

Scientists first found that there was a hole in the ozone layer ______.

    A.above Arctic during the winter in the mid-1980s

    B.above Antarctica during the winter in the mid-1980s

    C.over somewhere in the north of the equator in 1980

    D.over the USA in the summertime in the mid-1980s

The damage to the ozone layer was caused by ______.

    A.the changeable weather          B.ozone-destroying chemicals

C.chemicals from refrigerators      D.chemicals from air conditioners

Morning and afternoon, we went diving and rolled into the clear water    32   down like peas in honey. In the evenings, we spent time on the pier, watching the sun set.

We have been friends   34   than they have been alive.

   35   dives, we talked about where to go next. I made lists    36   she slept. Our plans were now more theoretical, and the big trip to the South Pacific one day seemed a long way off. Cancer has become part of our   37  . We are well aware that our bodies are temporary gifts. Not knowing what comes next means   38   is possible. Perhaps I will be hit by a truck, or my heart will stop. Life is   39   .
