Eight – year – old Jesse Abrogate was playing in the sea late one evening in July 2001 when a 7-foot bull shark attacked him and tore off his arm. Jesse’s uncle jumped into the sea and dragged the boy to shore. The boy was not breathing. His aunt gave him mouth-to-mouth resuscitation (人工呼吸) while his uncle rang the emergency services. Pretty soon, a helicopter arrived and flew the boy to hospital. It was a much quicker journey than the journey by road.

    Jesse’s uncle, Vance Folsenzier, ran back into to the sea and found the shark that had attacked his nephew. He picked the shark up and threw it onto the beach. A coastguard shot the fish four times and although this did not kill it, the shark’s jaws relaxed so that they could open them, and reach down into its stomach, and pull out the boy’s arm.

    At the Baptist Hospital in Pensacola, Dr. Ian Rogers spent eleven hours reattaching Jesse’s arm. “It was a complicated operation,” he said, “but we were lucky. If the arm hadn’t been recovered in time, we wouldn’t have been able to do the operation at all. What I mean is that if they hadn’t found the shark, well then we wouldn’t have had a chance.’

    According to local park ranger Jack Tomosvic, shark attacks are not that common. “Jesse was just unlucky,” he says, “evening is the shark’s feeding time. And Jesse was in area without lifeguards. This would never have happened if he had been in area where swimming is allowed.’

When reporters asked Jesse’s uncle how he had had the courage to fight a shark, he replied, “I was mad and you do some strange things when you’re mad.”

1.What was the boy doing when the accident happened?

    A．Feeding a hungry shark.      B．Jumping into the rough sea.

    C．Dragging a boy to the shore. D．Swimming in a dangerous area.

2.In which way did the boy’s uncle help with the operation?

    A．By finding his lost arm.     B．By shooting the fish.

    C．By flying him to hospital.       D．By blowing into his mouth.

3.How was his uncle in time of danger?

    A．Careful. B．Brave.   C．Optimistic.  D．Patient.

4.Which of the following statements can be inferred from the passage?

A.  Jesse’s uncle was mad.

B.  Jesse was playing in area where swimming is allowed.

C.  It was very difficult for the doctor to reattach Jesse’s arm.

D.  Evening is the shark’s feeding time.

London has a new magazine. But it’s not printed on paper. Everyone who has a television can receive it because it is on TV.

  In order to read this magazine you have to have a decoder. Each page of it is numbered, so you only have to dial the number to choose which subject you want to read about. There’s a wide choice--- everything is included from cooking to the latest sports news.

   If you want to read the news, the first thing you have to do is to turn to the index page which has an easy-to-remember page number, 100 for example. Then you start choosing what you want to read. The news is on pages 101 to 109, so you push out the numbers and the news appears written across your screen. Perhaps you want to go out in the afternoon, so you press 181, and a brightly colored weather map appears on the screen. But the weather is terrible so you decide to go shopping and dial 162 for a list of the week’s best bargains. But should you drive or take the train ? To answer the question you only have to press 189 for the traffic report. It’s very simple to use. But probably the best thing about the service is that it’s being updated all the time. Journalists type new material directly onto the screen and whole pages of the magazine can be replaced in minutes.

London has already had three services. One, transmitted（传输）by ITV, is called ORACLE, while the other two, on BBC, are called CEEFAX, because they let you see facts. Although CEEFAX and ORACLE have been operating for some time, they have not been well publicized. BBC engineers do not think that their idea will ever replace books and newspapers because they can be taken with you everywhere. But many people agree that this is a breakthrough as great as the invention of printing, which could change not just our reading habits but our whole way of life.

1.What is unusual about the mew magazine in London?

    A．You can find any subject you want in it.

    B．No paper is used to print the magazine.

    C．There 1,000 page numbers in the index.

    D．The speed of transmitting is astonishing.

2.It’s clearly seen from the passage that ________.

    A．it takes long for the service of the magazine to be updated

    B．most of the postmen will be out of work someday

    C．the readers can get all kinds of information without leaving home

    D．everyone can read the magazine if there is a television at hand

3.According to the passage, the “decoder” is used to help people to ________.

    B．broadcast special TV programs at home and abroad

    D．find the exact page in which you can get information you need

4.The passage is mainly about           .

    A．a new magazine printed in London B．a popular TV program with three services
