were late and Barbara was 1 tired. She had worked extra shifts as a night 2 nurse.The sleet
( 雨夹雪) storm and icy roads 3 her tension. She was thinking of turning around at once.
Suddenly a car ahead of them lost control on a patch of ice and crashed 4 into a telephone
pole. The impact was horrible.
Barbara pulled onto the road"s shoulder. Thank God she was a nurse-her skill might make
a 5 in the fate of these 6 passengers! But what about Ben ? Little boys 7 see scenes
like this. But was it 8 to leave him alone? What if their car was 9 from behind, or a stranger
10 him? For a brief moment, Barbara decided to go on her way. "Ben, honey, 11 me you"ll
stay in the car!" she cried over her shoulder.
"I will, Mommy," she heard him say 12 , she can, slipping and sliding, toward the crash site.
It was 13 than she had feared. Two high-school-aged girls had been in the car. One, the blonde
on the passenger side was dead. The driver, however, was unconscious. Barbara quickly 14
pressure to the wound in the teenager"s head while her practiced eyes ran over the other 15 , a
broken leg, maybe two, along with probable internal damage. But if help came , this girl would live.
The ambulance arrived. " Good job," one rescue worker said, 16 he examined the driver. " You
probably saved her life, Madam."
As Barbara walked back to her car, a feeling of 17 overwhelmed her, especially for the
family of the passenger who had died. But what should she tell Ben?
"Mom," he 18 " did you see it?"
"See what honey?" she asked.
"The angel, Mom! He came down from the sky. And he opened the door, and he took that girl
out. " Barbara"s eyes were filling with tears, " Which door, Ben?" "The 19 side."
Later Barbara was able to meet the families of the victims. They expressed their 20 for the help
she had provided. Barbara was able to give them something more: Ben"s Vision .

passed by and we heard one of them say, "Never seen that dog around here before."
We looked down the hill and saw an old black dog stumbling(蹒跚) painfully up the hill. We
bent down, talked gently to the dog and patted it. I checked and there was a collar. There was a
phone number on the collar, but no one answered.
The dog was painfully thin. It didn"t have many teeth left and, well, it just seemed done.
Julie ran home to get some of our dog"s food while I tried to encourage the dog to come along with
me. Julie got home and back again when I was only half way there. So, we sat down on the sidewalk
while our new friend made short work of the food.
Eventually we got her home. We gave her a blanket, more food, kept her warm and wondered
what to do next.
After trying for many times we got a response from the number. A lady came around with a bunch
of flowers for us. She explained that Tara had been her father"s dog. She was very old and should
probably be put to sleep, but the lady just couldn"t bring herself to do it. So, Tara was safely returned
home.
Here is the truth of the story:
Actually Julie and I were out that morning because I was leaving. She was trying to persuade me
to come back, but I wasn"t hearing anything that made that sound likely.
I was about to turn and go when an old, worn out dog walked between us and collapsed. Suddenly
we had something more important than our problem to worry about. There was a creature in need
right before us and we had to work together to help it.
We did help it. And here am I writing the story in my own home, in my own family.

One day, I happened to meet an Englishman on the road, and soon we began to talk. As I was talking about how I was studying English, the foreigner seemed to be astonished. Gently shaking his head,
shrugging his shoulders, he said, "You don"t say!" "You don"t say!" I was puzzled. I thought, perhaps this is not an appropriate topic (适当的话题). "Well, I"d better change the topic." So I said to him. "Well, shall we talk about the Great Wall? By the way, have you ever been there?" "Certainly, everyone back home
will laugh at me if I leave China without seeing it. It was magnificent." He was deep in thought when I
began to talk like a tourist guide. "The Great Wall is one of the wonders in the world. We are very proud
of it." Soon I was interrupted again by his words:"You don"t say!" I couldn"t help asking, "Why do you ask me not to talk about it?" "Well, I didn"t request you to do so, " he answered, greatly surprised. I said, "
Didn"t you say" you don"t say?" Hearing this, the Englishman laughed to tears. He began to explain, "You
don"t say" actually means "really!" It is an expression of surprise. Perhaps you don"t pay attention to English
idioms." Only then did I know I had made a fool of myself. Since then I have been more careful with
idiomatic expressions. Remember: what the English teachers said is always right to us students.
B. I was not careful with English idioms
C. my teacher didn"t emphasize the importance of them
D. I had no interest in them
A. he was not interested in the topic

wanted to find out whether they deserved his help.
In the centre of the main road into the town, he placed 3 very large stone. Then he 4 (hide)
himself behind a tree and waited. Soon an old man came along with his cow.
"Who put this stone in the centre of the road?" said the old man,but he did not try to remove the
stone. Instead, with some difficulty he passed around the stone and continued 5 his way. Another
man came along and did the same thing; then another came, and another. All of them complained
about the stone but not tried to remove 6 . Late in the afternoon a young man came along. He
saw the stone, 7 (say) to himself: "The night 8 (be) very dark. Some neighbors will come along
later in the dark and will fall against the stone."
Then he began to move the stone. He pushed and pulled with all his 9 (strong) to move it,only
10 (find) a bag of money under the stone. Imagine how surprised he was!
Nikki spent a very small amount of time with her mum and sister when she was about 6 years old, but
soon after contact stopped when communication broke down between her parents.
She never felt she wanted to find her family while she was growing up. But now with a husband and
a son, she decided it was the right time.
Nikki didn"t know where to start, but her husband"s mum had used 192. com for finding people
before and recommended it to her. With the help of her son, she started by searching for her sister"s
full name on the electoral roll (选民登记册) without a location, because she had no idea where she
lived, even her date of birth. From that one search, the site returned two results listed in the area they
used to live.
Nikki decided to call the first number. To her absolute surprise, it was her long lost sister! So after
20 years, it was one phone call that helped her contact her sister! Her sister then passed her number
on to her mother, who called Nikki straight away, and it was like they had never been apart.
Her mum was so glad to find out Nikki was well that they arranged to meet everyone that Saturday
(3 days after the phone call) where she was reunited with her sister and met her two nephews for the
first time. Nikki also found out she had a half (同父异母的) sister and brother.
When talking about the reunion, Nikki said, "192.com made finding my long lost family very easy.
I was not on any social networking sites before and surprisingly neither was my sister or mum, so we
would never have found each other that way."
