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 arrive. 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(傾斜) 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(癱瘓)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.

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.

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

What does the underlined word “critical”mean?

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

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

     A. Careless driving.                 B. Heavy wind.

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

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

I’m Adam Gun from Istanbul, Turkey. I’m in a good school. And at the age of 15, in my first year of high school. I’m a great fan of tennis and cycling. I play tennis twice a week for two hours each time. Sometimes I want to play more, but I just keep playing for hours on end, never getting tired of doing it. This is one of the rare things I love in my life, in addition to cycling.
Like tennis, I find that I’m able to ride for ever and ever. Since Istanbul is made up of large and small hills, it’s a nice challenge to ride my bike every day. Although there aren’t many cycling places in Istanbul, I’m lucky enough to live near the biggest park. It’s downhill from my house to the park and I enjoy cycling up as much as floating down, because it’s challenging.
Now I have been thinking about being a lawyer and following my father’s footsteps, but I just don’t think I’m into it. I have heard people tell me over and over again: If you want to be happy with your life, you need to like and enjoy your job. Well, I’m not sure about the fact that I will enjoy being a lawyer when I grow up. I’m just not the type of person who sits down and studies for hours. So I just need opinions on whether to become a tennis player(hopefully), to become a cyclist(hopefully) or to become a lawyer.
【小題1】We can know that Adam Gun is satisfied with ______.

A．his friendsB．his choice to be a lawyerC．his schoolD．his favorite tennis star

【小題3】What does the underlined part in the last paragraph mean?

【小題4】What’s Adam Gun’s problem?

B．He has no enough time to practise tennis.
C．His dad disagrees with his career choice.

Worse than simply being denied admission(拒絕接收)，the school didn’t reply to her at all.It wasn’t a matter of her school records，but of her skin color：Wallsis African American，and in those days，that fact alone closed a lot of doors. “I was sad and I was hurt,”Walls told ABC News.“I did not expect the skin color would affect my application.I thought I could go to university like other students.”
