  It was about midday.I'd left work early in the morning to cash a cheque.I walked along to the bank, and found that there weren't too many people about ten or eleven customers in there, which was pretty unusual for those central city banks.

  I waited until it was my turn and just went up to the desk and started to talk to the bank clerk.He had a really strange expression on his face-just sort of blank stare at least I thought he was looking at me and then I realized he was staring over my shoulder.

  I began to turn round to see what he was looking at.At the same moment the outside bank guard came flying through the door and lay face down on the floor and following him through the door were three frightening masked men.They were carrying guns; at least I think the one in front was carrying a gun.Whether or not they said anything at that point I can't remember to this day, or whether people just automatically put their hands up I've just no idea.

  For a few moments there was just total silence, suddenly broken by the telephone ringing and I remember thinking and wondering who was on the other end of the telephone.Nobody went to answer the telephone, so this thing just kept on ringing and ringing.Then two of the masked men went to the counter, jumped over it and got the cashiers and the bank clerks to start filling the bags with cash.While the two were getting the money, the one at the door who was covering us with the gun was a bit frightened.He started swearing at them, and telling them to hurry up, to get a move on.They jumped back over the counter.One of them slipped as he landed on the floor and fell over and the other two swore at him again.They left through the door.Warning us,“Don't move, stay like that with your hands up for ten minutes.”And then they just disappeared.Again back to total silence.People put their hands down, I put my hands down but I just stayed exactly where I was.

Three surfers rushed to save a man’s life after he was left drifting on a notorious stretch of water. The men stayed with Greg Popple for 30 minutes and had to be rescued themselves by helicopter as the drama unfolded.

The 45-year-old had floated out on a body board near Hutchwns Point at 8:30 am. He found himself in trouble about half-a-mile from the shore and dangerously close to rocks. Surfers Graig Evans, 31, Robert Miles, 19, and Owain Daviees, 23, were risking their own safety to keep him floating for 30 minutes. Luckily a passer-by noticed what was going on and raised the alarm. Porthcawl Coastguard, Porthcaw Lifeboat and an RAF helicopter all took part in the rescue.

“The man who got into trouble was a body boarder —— there was a big tide where he was,” said Joe Missen. “Three other surfers spotted he was in difficulty and he was going down. They kept him afloat because he was in a state of shock and out of energy. If Mr. Popple was closer to the rocks, it could have been a lot worse, but they managed to keep him from harm”.

Mr. Missen’s mum Alison, also part of the rescue team, said, “That part of the water is notorious for taking people out to nowhere”.

The three men had clocked off a night shift at Ford Motor Company shortly before the incident. “I headed straight down to the beach for a surf, when I saw him flailing(挥动). We just swam straight out to him and kept him calm while the help came”.

The four men were taken to the life boat house to recover, without injuries.

1.What would be the best title for the text?

       A.Three Men to Be Praised                B.Notorious Place for Surfers

       C.Surfers Rescue Man Caught in Tide     D.Greg Popple-a Lucky Dog

2.The helicopter came up at the request of ________.

       A.Greg Popple                                    B.Craig Evans     

       C.Robert Miles                                    D.a passer-by

3.According to the text, what was the most important thing to do for the three men?

       A.Keeping him farther away from the rocks.

       B.Keeping Mr Popple swimming in the sea.

       C.Asking him to have a good rest.

       D.Keeping him floating everywhere.

4.What may the style of this passage be?

       A.A story.                                          B.A news report.

       C.A poster.                                          D.An advertisement.

  In 1969 I was a young girl working in Toronto.I was from a small town in Ontario and had just moved to the big city about three months earlier.It was one week before Christmas and I was going home on the last streetcar of the evening.

  I remember looking at my paycheque(工资单)and asking myself how it was going to endure.At that time in my life I hardly had enough money to exist on.Bread for supper and oatmeal for breakfast was the only way I kept hunger at bay.

  I got off the streetcar and started walking up the street, when I suddenly noticed a man was running after me.I stopped, turned around, seeing that he was black.I snapped, “What do you want?” The man answered in a soft voice, “I am returning your wallet.You left it on the streetcar seat.”

  Because of that man’s thoughtfulness, I was allowed the comfort of going home by bus for the summer holidays.Otherwise, I would have stayed alone in my small room with a hog plate.

  I have never been so ashamed of myself, and that poor, kind man had to walk, who knows how far, home.

  I recognized immediately that this was wrong of me and it changed my ways forever.
