【題目】Norm Pethrick, a 36-year-old man in Australia’s northern city Darwin, was praised on Thursday for jumping onto a crocodile’s back to save his wife Wendy at Litchfield National Park, a popular tourist spot southwest of Darwin, a local newspaper reported.

Ms Pethrick was standing on a river bank Wednesday afternoon when the saltwater crocodile lunged (撲), locking its jaws on both her legs as it tried to drag her underwater.

Norm Pethrick, who with his wife had been collecting water, immediately went to help her. He jumped onto the back, poked (戳) the eyes of the crocodile and finally got his wife free.

Ms Pethrick was later taken to Royal Darwin Hospital for a medical treatment. The doctors said she was suffering eight puncture wounds (傷口) in her right leg, a puncture wound in her left leg and a serious cut to one of her fingers.

“This could have been a fatal and tragic situation,” said the general manager of Royal Darwin Hospital (RDH), Dr Len Notaras, according to a local report.

He said Ms Pethrick was saved by her husband’s “quick and diligent actions”.

【題目】A middle school student from Milton, Wash., stopped a potentially disastrous situation on Monday morning when he guided his school bus safely off the road after the driver had a medical emergency, KOMO News reports.

Thirteen-year-old Jeremy Wuitschick was on the bus to Surprise Lake Middle School when he noticed that something was wrong.

“I knew something was wrong,” the seventh grader said. “The bus driver…looked funny. His eyes were bulging(凸出), he was sitting back and his hands were waving around.”

Immediately, Wuitschick and another seventh grade student -- Johnny Wood -- leapt out of their seats and rushed to the front of the bus. Grabbing the wheel, Wuitschick steered（控制）the vehicle, preventing it from crashing off the road; while Wood, who knows CPR, tried chest compressions on the driver who had become unconscious.

It was pretty scary, said Wuitschick, who then took the key out of the bus, making the bus -- with 15 other middle school students in it -- stop.

Ill tell you, Ill give the kid credit for fast thinking. He did the right thing and we’re going to do something for him. The kid definitely deserves credit,” Milton Police Chief Bill Rhodes said

When asked what made him to come forward to help, Wuitschick said he had acted “on instinct(本能),” adding that a “book about superheroes” had inspired him to turn the vehicle's engine off.

He also said that he knows how to drive because his mother lets him back the car out of the driveway when he washes it -- but that, until now, it had been his little secret.

The 43-year-old bus driver, whose name has not been released, was taken to the hospital. According to ABC News, his condition has been described as grave. No one else was hurt.

【1】What happened to the bus driver? (No more than 5 words)

【2】How did Wuitschick manage to turn the vehicle’s engine off ?(No more than 8 words)

【3】How many students did the bus carry? (No more than 2 words)

【題目】Why did the chicken cross the road? To get to the other side. Most people know this joke. But recently, some people have been much more worried about how the grizzly bear and mountain lion can cross the road.

“ Millions of animals die each year on the U. S. roads, ” the Federal Highway Administration reports. In fact, only about 80 ocelots , an endangered wild cat, exist in the U. S. today. The main reason? Roadkill.

“Eco-passages" may help animals cross the road without being hit by cars. They are paths both over and under roads. “ These ecopassages can be extremely useful，so that wildlife can avoid road accidents ,” said Jodi Hilty of the Wildlife Protection Society.

But do animals actually use the eco-passages? The answer is yes. Paul Beier of Northern Arizona University found foot marks left by mountain lions on an eco-passage that went under a highway. This showed that the lions used the passage.

Builders of eco-passages try to make them look like a natural part of an area by planting trees on and around them. Animals seem to be catching on. Animals as different as salamanders (火蜥蜴)and grizzly bears are using the bridges and underpasses.

The next time you visit a park or drive through an area with a lot of wildlife, look around. You might see an animal over-pass ！

A. an underground path for cars

B. a fence built for the safety of the area

【3】When the writer says that animals seem "to be catching on" , he means __________.

A. animals begin to realize the danger on the road

B. animals begin to learn to use eco-passages

C. animals are crossing the road in groups

D. animals are becoming safer

【4】The writer asks visitors and drivers to look around when they are traveling because __________.

A. wild animals may cause danger

【5】This passage is written to __________.

【題目】When I was 13, my bedroom walls were covered with posters of the Monkees and Beatles. I wrote fan letters and daydreamed about meeting the objects of my affections. I begged my parents to attend every rock concert and watch every TV show featuring my favorite celebrities (名人) ; my friends and I discussed for hours all the things we would say and do when we met our favorite movie stars and pop singers. I drove my mother crazy! But after a few years, my obsession (迷戀) stars faded as I matured and gained the confidence to socialize with "real" boys.

In the 35 years since I was a teenager, celebrity worship (崇拜) has increased among teens due to the explosion of television celebrity gossip shows, and instant access to celebrity news on the Internet. It's no wonder that many teens are obsessed with stars when news programs often are filled with entertainment stories and the lives of celebrities.

Celebrity worship syndrome (綜合征) is now considered a personality disorder. While it is normal for teenagers to follow the lives of their favorite stars, parents should try to monitor everything their child finds interesting. Parents should take action if they suspect a teen is too obsessed with celebrities and showing little interest in school or withdrawing from the family. When teens talk a lot about celebrities and view them as just means of entertainment, this is considered normal celebrity worship. However, when a teenager is obsessed with a star and often expresses a desire to have a close personal relationship with a celebrity or feels they have a special connection to a star, this may be the time for concern.

Recent studies have shown that teens who develop an unhealthy obsession with celebrities often suffer from low self confidence and depression. Teens who are overly obsessed with stars often have damaged relationships with their parents.

【1】We learn from the second paragraph that ____.

A. teens today are not so obsessed with celebrities

B. the author is surprised at celebrity worship

C. the media greatly contributes to celebrity worship today

D. celebrities expose their lives too much

【2】Parents should become concerned when their children ____.

A. talk a lot about celebrities with others

B. put up celebrity posters in their bedrooms

C. ask to go to their favorite star's concert

D. desire a close personal relationship with their favorite star

【3】The last paragraph implies that ____.

A. parents should not care too much about a child's celebrity worship

B. children can normally get out of celebrity worship when they are older

C. children with celebrity worship usually have high opinion of themselves

D. celebrity worship syndrome can be a serious problem if left overlooked

【4】What is most likely to be talked about in the paragraph following the passage?

A. The harm of celebrity worship syndrome.

B. What to do with children's celebrity worship syndrome.

C. More signs of celebrity worship syndrome.

D. Who will suffer most from celebrity worship syndrome.
