And then, I remember mother’s   44  to me , a young girl: “Hurry, Gin, you’ll be late for school.”

An elderly woman died and several other passengers were critically injured when a crowded Virgin express train crashed in Cumbria last night.

     A huge rescue operation involving RAF helicopters and dozens of ambulances arrived after passengers were trapped in the train for more than four hours because fallen power line poles made access for emergency workers difficult.

     Authorities reported up to 80 injuries. Thirteen people were taken to hospital in a “critical or serious condition.”

     Between 180 and 200 passengers were on the 5:15pm Virgin service from London Euston to Glasgow Central when all nine carriages left the rails between Oxenholme and Tebay. Witnesses said that the train shook violently before toppling(倾斜) over into an embankment(筑堤)with at least four carriages overturning. Early this morning, authorities confirmed an elderly woman had died and some other passengers had suffered injuries including back strains, head wounds and broken bones.

      Ruth Colton, a passenger on the train, said she was reading a book when the journey became uncomfortable. It seemed that the train was being beaten by heavy winds, “as if we were on a plane”.

      The accident brought concerns that Britain's busiest rail route would be crippled(瘫痪)for some time. The line between Preston and Carlisle was postponed as Virgin Trains promised a rapid investigation into the “serious incident”—the company's first big crash.

      It is understood that the investigation will examine whether there was an obstacle on the track and the possibility of speeding or mechanical breakdown. The driver, who was injured, will be interviewed and a black-box recorder installed in the train will be examined.

1. What made the rescue come so late?

 

    A. It's not accessible to reach the accident spot.

    B. No enough helicopters and ambulances could be found at that time.

    C. It was too far from hospital to Cumbria.

    D. No one called the emergency center.

2. According to the passage, the busiest rail route in Britain is          

    A. From Preston to Carlisle           B. Between Euston and Glasgow

    C. From Oxenholme to Tebay         D. Between Virgin and Pendolino

3. What does the underlined word “critical” mean?

    A. Important.       B. Careless.      C. Dangerous.      D. Surprising.

4. Which of the following is the possible cause of the accident?

    A. Careless driving.                 B. Heavy wind.

    C. Over loading.                    D. Obstacle on tile track.

5. We can learn from the passage that Virgin Trains               

    A. made no quick reaction to this accident

    B. seldom had so serious an accident before

    C. had made full preparations for the accident

    D. didn't mind how many passengers the train can hold

  Tens of thousands of couples across the United States are racing to get married by April 30.This is the result of a new law that makes illegal(不合法的)immigrants(移民) legal(合法的)if they marry by then.

  The law has sent marriages rising by 50 percent to 300 percent this year in immigrant-rich Los Angeles, Houston and New York.The new law, passed in the last days of the Clinton administration(任期),contains a large number of measures to help immigrants and their loved ones become legal.

  Critics(批评家)say it also brings many marriage frauds(诈骗).A key aspect allows immigrants to look for houses while remaining in the USA-if they are married to a citizen or legal resident and hand in applications by April 30.After the date, applicants will have to return to their native countries to deal with their paperwork-a requirement that could take as long as 10 years.

  Demand for marriage licenses in Manhattan this year jumped from 100 a day to more than 300.The Los Angeles County registrar(户籍员)recorder's office supplied 12 997 marriage licences during January and February, and 59 percent increase over last year.

  Critics say the new law encourages false marriage.There are a lot of frauds as people rush to make use of this window.In the past cases citizens or legal residents were paid US $10 000 or more to marry illegal immigrants in which immigration is concluded may be investigated for as long as the years after the vows.

  “It's not worth the risk to attempt an illegal marriage, ”says INS spokesman Bill Strassberger.
