题型:不详难度:来源:
A Swedish man was dug out alive after being snowed in his car on a forest track for two months with no food, police and local media reported on Saturday.
The 45-year-old from southern Sweden was found on Friday, February17, too weak to say more than a few words.
He was found not far from the city ofUmea in the north of Sweden by snowmobilers who thought they had come across a ruined car until they dug their way to a window and saw movement inside.
The man, who was lying in the back seat in a sleeping bag, said he had been in the car since December 19.
“Just incredible that he’s alive considering that he had no food, but also since it’s been really cold for some time after Christmas.” a rescue team member told regional daily Vasterbottens- Kuriren, which broke the news.
Ebbe Nyberg, duty officer at the Umea police, said police saw no reason to doubt that the man had been stuck in the car for a very long time.
“We would not make up something like this. The rescue services were on site too and saw the same as us.” he told Vasterbottens-Kuriren.
Umea University Hospital, where the man is recovering after being rescued by police and a rescue team, said in a statement he was doing well considering the circumstances.
Doctors at the hospital said humans would normally be able to survive for about four weeks without food. Besides eating snow, the man probably survived by going into a dormant-like(休眠似的)state, physician Stefan Branth told Vasterbottens-Kuriren.
“A bit like a bear that hibernates. Humans can do that.” he said. “He probably had a body temperature of around 31 degrees which the body adjusted to. Due to the low temperature, not much energy was used up.”
“Why the man ended up under the snow in the forest remains unknown,” police said.

举一反三
I was shopping in the supermarket when I heard a young voice boom from across the aisle.
“Mom, come here! There’s this lady here my size!”
The mother rushed to a boy she called Mickey; then she turned to me to apologize.
I smiled and told her, “It’s okay.” Then I talked to the boy, “Hi, Mickey, I’m Darry Kramer. How are you?”
He studied me from head to toe, and asked, “Are you a little mommy?”
“Yes, I have a son.”I answered.
“Why are you so little?” he asked.
“. . . It is the way I was born. ” I said. “ Some people are little. Some are tall. I’m just not going to grow any bigger. ” After about five more minutes of answering questions, I shook Mickey’s hand, and say doodbye to them.
My life as a little person is filled with stories like that. I enjoy talking to children and explaining why I look different from their parents. It has taken many years to develop my confidence to be able to do that.
It takes only one glance to see my uniqueness. I stand three feet, nine inches tall. I was born an achondroplasia dwarf(侏儒). Despite this, my parents encouraged me to do all the things the kids around me did when I was growing up. When my neighbors got two-wheel bikes, I got a two- wheel bike. When they roller-skated, I roller-skated. I didn’t realize how short I was until I started school. There, a few kids picked on me, calling me names. Then I knew. After that, I began to hate the first day of school each year. I didn’t know who was new and would stare at me as I struggled to climb the school bus stairs.
As time went on, I just tried to smile and accept the fact that I was going to be noticed my whole life. I was determined to make my uniqueness an advantage rather than a disadvantage. What I lacked in height, I made up for in personality.
I’m 47 now, and the stares have not diminished as I’ve grown older. People look in disbelief when they see me get out of my car off the driver’s side. During those times, I try to keep a good attitude. When people are rude, I remind myself, “Look what else I have—a great family. Nice friends. ”
And it’s the children’s questions that make my life special. When I talk with children, they leave content that their questions have been answered. My hope is that in taking time with them, I will encourage them to accept their peers whatever size and shape they come in, and treat them with respect.

Despite being tall, Michelle Obama is much smaller than she appears on television. And she seemed a little short by her surroundings in the great hall of Christchurch College as she spoke quietly without a microphone because of a technical mistake. Her audience were 40 young girls from a London state school where 50 languages are spoken.
“I remember how well-meaning but misguided people questioned whether someone with my background could succeed at an elite (精英) university,” she said. “When I was accepted, I had all kinds of worries and doubts. I wouldn’t be as well prepared as students from privileged families and I wouldn’t fit in. But you are just as capable and have just as much to offer as anyone else.”
This was Mrs. Obama’s only solo outing during the state visit and part two of an unusual relationship which she has struck up with Anderson College in Islington. Two years ago on her first visit to the UK she visited the school.
Yesterday she returned to meet the pupils but this time at Christchurch College where they were taking part in an open day run to improve Oxford’s still poor record on diversifying student intake.
Mrs. Obama was asked why she married her husband, what it was like being First Lady and when there would be a female President in the White House. Her message—which she repeated time and again—was work hard, have self-belief, and don’t be afraid to fail. It was very un-British, but rather effective. Afterwards there were hugs for everyone and a photo with her.
And watching the group of multicultural young Britons surround her among the splendor of the college building one thought stood out. Had Mrs. Obama been born in Britain, she would almost certainly not have made it to Oxford as she did to Harvard. But now—thanks in part to her—some of these children just might.
小题1:According to the passage, Michelle Obama ____________.
A.graduated from Anderson College
B.paid her first visit to the UK this time

D.came from a family without good background
小题2:It is implied in the passage that these 40 young girls ____________.
A.were all from the United States
B.were students of Oxford University
C.came from different cultural backgrounds
D.stayed with Mrs. Obama because of hard work
小题3:Michelle Obama thinks success may come from the following EXCEPT ____________.
A.working hardB.believing in yourself
C.good opportunitiesD.facing failure without fear
小题4:What can we learn from the underlined sentence?
A.The British pupils couldn’t understand her message.
B.Her message reached the British pupils successfully.
C.Repetition is not the British way to give a message.
D.All effective messages are not conveyed in British.

A man once said how useless it was to put advertisements in the newspapers.“last week, ” said he, “my umbrella was stolen from a London church.As it was a present, I spent twice its worth in advertising, but didn"t get it back.”

When we read books we seem to enter a new world.  This new world can be similar to the one we are living in, or it can be very    1   .  Some stories are told    2   they were true.  Real people who live in a normal world do real things; in other words, the stories are about people just like us doing what we do.  Other stories, such as the Harry Potter books, are not    3   .  They are characters and creatures that are very different from us and do things that would be   4 for us.
But there is more to books and writing than this.  If we think about it, even realistic writing is only    5   .  How can we tell the difference between what is real and what is not real?  For example, when we read about Harry Potter, we do seem to learn something about the real world.  And when Harry studies magic at Hogwarts, he also learns more about his real life than    6   .  Reading, like writing, is an action.  It is a way of    7   .  When we read or write something, we do much more than simply look at words on a page.  We use our    8   --- which is real --- and our imagination ---which is real in a different way --- to make the words    9   in our minds.
Both realism and fantasy use the imagination and the “magic” of reading and writing to make us think.  When we read    10   realistic, we have to imagine that the people we are reading about are just like us, even though we know that we are real and they are not.  It sounds   11   , but it works.  When we read, we fill in missing information and    12   about the causes and effects of what a character does.  We help the writer by pretending that what we read is like real life.  In a way, we are writing the book, too.
Most of us probably don’t think about what is going on in our    13   when we are reading.  We    14   a book and lose ourselves in a good story, eager to find out what will happen next.  Knowing how we feel    15   we read can help us become better readers, and it will help us discover more about the real magic of books.
