He _31_ into the water, not realizing that as he swam toward the middle of the lake, an alligator (钝吻鳄 ) was swimming toward the bank. His mother, in the house, was looking out of the window and saw the two as they got closer and closer together. In great fear, she ran toward the water and shouted to him as loudly as she could.

Although pet owners care for their pets, only 20% of owners have taken out insurance (上保险 )if their cat or dog needs expensive medical treatment. Andrew Goodsell, the CEO of Saga, the company that carried out the research, said, We know that, for many, being with a beloved cat or dog can really make his/her life better.

I once asked Michael, I dont get it. You cant be positive all the time. How do you do it? Michael replied, Each morning, I wake up and say to myself Mike, you have two choices today. You can choose to be in a good mood or you can choose to be in a bad mood. I choose to be in a good mood. Every time someone comes to me complaining, I can choose to accept their complaining or I can point out the positive side of life. Yeah, right. It isnt that easy. I replied. Yes it is, Michael said. Life is all about choices. When you cut away all the junk, every situation is a choice. You choose how you react (反应 ) to situations. You choose how people will influence your mood. The bottom line is: Its your choice how you live a life. Soon later, I left the big company that I had worked in for years to start my own business. We lost touch, but I often thought about him when I made a choice about life. Several years later, I heard Michael had a serious accident, falling off 60 feet from a tower. I saw Michael about six months after the accident. When I asked him how he was, he replied, If I were any better, Id be twins. Want to see my scars? I refused to see his wounds, but did ask him what had gone through his mind as the accident took place. The first thing that went through my mind was my soon-to-born daughter, Michael replied. Then, as I lay on the ground, I remembered I had two choices: I could choose to live or I could choose to die. I chose to live. When the doctors and nurses wheeled me into the operation room and I saw the expressions on their faces, I got really scared. In their eyes, I read Hes a dead man. I knew I needed to take action. I took a deep breath and shouted, Im choosing to live. Operate on me as if I am alive, not dead. Michael lived, thanks to the skill of his doctors, but also because of his amazing attitude (态度 ) 49.

Life Is about Choices C. I Should Take Action D. Attitude Is Everything （ D） Times, August H1N1 is hitting the southern hemisphere (南半球 )hard: Argentina has recorded more than 160 deaths from H1N1, second most after the U. S. Thats because its winter in the southern hemisphere, and flu infections (感染 ) tend to spread during the fall and winter months. So, WHO (World Health Organization) raised the global alert (warning) of H1N1 to the highest level. But cold temperatures arent the only reason for the fluctuations (变动 ). No one has immunity (免疫力 ) to the new virus (病毒 ). That is to say were likely to see very high infection rates. Most of us spend less time in the sun during the winter, and that means we might lack of vitamin D, leaving us open to any number of infections. And spending more time indoors can also put us in the line of infection for the flu, particularly if we share enclosed spaces with others. Students are gathering during the fall and winter in the northern hemisphere, and classrooms are excellent vectors (带菌者 ) of infection for all illnesses, including the flu. Although so far the virus doesnt appear to have a much higher death rate than the usual seasonal flu, H1N1 is still spreading in the U. S. , even during the summer - chiefly in summer camps, where young people are spending a lot of time in close contact. That shows just how transmissible (可传染的 ) this new virus is: Were dry firewood, and H1N1 is the match. But the real test for H1N1 and for public-health officials who are planning their answer to it will come in the fall and winter. 52. According to the passage, H1N1 could spread easily in _. A. spring and summer B. autumn and winter C. spring and autumn D. summer and winter 53. What can we infer from the passage? A. HIN1 virus is hitting Argentina because it is hot there. B. H1N1 virus can be active for a longer time in the cold and dry air. C. Wed better stay at home instead of going out. D. H1N1 virus not only is transmissible, but also has high death rate. 54. The last paragraph mainly wants to tell us _. A. the death rate for H1N1 is high B. young people spend much time indoors C. the challenge for HIN1 will come in winter D. H1N1 has been spreading in the United States 六、选择方框中的句子，补全对话。（共 10分，每小题 2分） A. Where were you born? B. When did you come to Los Angeles? C. Nice to meet you. D. I went to college in Texas. E.
