     Mr. Peter Johnson, aged twenty-three, battled for half an hour to escape from his trapped car
yesterday when it landed upside down in three feet of water. Mr. Johnson took the only escape
route-through the boot (行李箱).
     Mr. Johnson’s car had finished up in a ditch (溝渠) at Romney Marsin, Kent after skidding on ice
and hitting a bank. “Fortunately, the water began to come in only slowly,” Mr. Johnson said. "I couldn’t
force the doors because they were jammed against the walls of the ditch and dared not open the windows because I knew water would come flooding in."
     Mr. Johnson, a sweet salesman of Sitting Home, Kent, first tried to attract the attention of other
motorists by sounding the horn and hammering on the roof and boot. Then he began his struggle to escape.
     Later he said, "It was really a half penny that saved my life. It was the only coin I had in my pocket
and I used it to unscrew(擰開) the back seat to get into the boot. I hammered desperately with a hammer
trying to make someone hear, but no help came."
     It took ten minutes to unscrew the seat, and a further five minutes to clear the sweet samples from the
boot. Then Mr. Johnson found a wrench and began to work on the boot lock. Fifteen minutes passed by. "It was the only chance I had. Finally it gave, but as soon as I moved the boot lid, the water and mud
poured in. I forced the lid down into the mud and climbed out as the car filled up."
     His hands and arms cut and bruised, Mr. Johnson got to Beckett Farm nearby, where he was looked
after by the farmer’s wife, Mrs. Lucy Bates. Huddled in a blanket, he said, “That thirty minutes seemed
like hours.” Only the tips of the car wheels were visible, police said last night. The vehicle had sunk into
two feet of mud at the bottom of the ditch.
1. Which of the following objects is the most important to Mr. Johnson?
A. The hammer.
B. The screw.
C. The coin.
D. The horn.
2. "Finally it gave"(Paragraph 5) means that _____.
A. Luckily the door was torn away in the end
B. At last the wrench went broken
C. The chance was lost at the last minute
D. The lock came open after all his efforts
3. Which statement is true according to the passage?
A. Mr. Johnson’s car stood on its boot as it fell down.
B. Mr. Johnson’s car accident was partly due to the icy road.
C. Mr. Johnson could not escape from the door because it was full of sweet jam.
D. Mr. Johnson struggled in the pouring mud as he unscrewed the back seat.
4. What is the best title for this newspaper article?
A. The Story of Mr. Johnson, A Sweet Salesman
B. Driver Escapes Through Car Boot 
C. Car Boot Can Serve As The Best Escape Route
D. The Driver Survived A Terrible Car Accident

                                                                      Mr Perfect
     With a healthy image, handsome face and Japan's coolest haircut, Takeshi Kaneshiro (金城武) is one of
Asia's most attractive stars.
     When "Turn Left Turn Right" (<<向左走向右走>>) opens in Chinese cinemas next month, there's no
doubt the 29-year-old boy will get even more attention.
     Takeshi stars as John, a lonely violin player who falls in love with a translator called Eve, played by Gigi
Leung(梁詠琪). Many of Takeshi's fans like to copy his haircut, clothes and even his smile. But they will find
it hard to copy the way he plays the violin in the movie. He impressed his director To Keifung (杜琪峰) by
learning to play the violin in a few weeks.
     This attitude to hard work is one of the reasons why Takeshi is such a good role model for young people.
Like many young people, he values friendship more than anything else. "My best friends are my former
schoolmates," he once said,"We became close when we were at school and will be friends forever."
      Besides his good looks and hairstyle, he is well known for his healthy image. He started his acting career at
the young age of 15 but, unlike other pop stars, he has rarely behaved badly. He stays away from drugs,
alcohol and cigarettes. Violence, rude words and dirty jokes seldom appear in his movies.
     "I hated foreign language classes when I was in school, but now I find speaking several languages helps me
a lot in my career," he said. For someone who only took up acting, Takeshi has come far. No doubt his star
will rise even higher.
1. The title "Mr. perfect" suggests that _____.
A. Takeshi always plays a perfect role in the film
B. Takeshi impressed his audience and fans with a perfect image
