But as she hurried down the subway stairs， she started to feel uncomfortably warn. By the time she got to the platform，Lisa felt weak and tired-maybe it hadnt been a good idea to give blood the night before，she thought. She rested herself against a post close to the tracks. Several yards away，Frank，43，and his girlfriend，Jennifer，found a spot close to where the front of the train would stop. They were deep in discussion about a house they were thinking of buying. But when he heard the scream，followed by someone yelling，“Oh，my God，she fell in!” Frank didnt hesitate. He jumped down to the tracks and ran some 40 feet toward the body lying on the rails. “No! Not you! ”his girlfriend screamed after him. She was right to be alarmed. By the time Frank reached Lisa，he could feel the tracks shaking and see the light coming. The train was about 20 seconds from the station. It was hard to lift her. She was just out. But he managed to raise her the four feet to the platform so that bystanders could hold her by the grins and drag her away from the edge. That was where Lisa briefly regained consciousness，felt herself being pulled along the ground，and saw someone else holding her purse. Lisa thought shed been robbed. A woman held her hand and a man gave his shirt to help stop the blood pouring from her head. And she tried to talk but she couldnt，and that was when she realized how much pain she was in. Police and fire officials soon arrived，and Frank told the story to an officer.

The passage is intended to _A. warn us of the danger in the subway B. show US how to save people in the subwayC. tell US about a subway rescue D. report a traffic accident BA few years ago I had an “aha!” moment regarding handwriting. I had in my hand a sheet of paper with handwritten instructions on it for some sort of editorial task. It occurred at first that I did not recognize the handwriting，and then I realized whose it must be. I finally became aware of the fact that I had been working with this colleague for at least a year，maybe two，and yet I did not recognize her handwriting at that point. It was a very important event in the computerization of lifea sign that the informal. Friendly communication of people working together in an office had changed from notes in pen to instant messages and emails. There was a time when our workdays were filled with little letters，and we recognized one anothers handwriting the way we knew voices or faces. As a child visiting my fathers office，1 was pleased to recognize，in little notes on the desks of his staff，the same handwriting 1 would see at home in the notes he would leave on the fridgeexcept that those notes were signed “dad” instead of “RFW”. All this has been on my mind because of the talk about The Rise and Fall of Handwriting，a book by Florey. Sire shows in her book a deep concern about the fall of handwriting and the failure of schools to teach children to write well，but many others argue that people in a digital age cant be expected to learn to hold a pen. I dont buy it. I dont want to see anyone cut off from the expressive，personal associations that a pen still promotes better than a digital keyboard does. For many a biographer，part of really getting to know their subjects is learning to read their handwriting. What some people advocate is teaching one of the many attractive handwritings based on the handwriting of 16th-century Italy. That may sound impossibly grandas if they want kids to learn to draw by copying classical paintings. However，they have worked in many school systems. 51. Why was the author surprised at not recognizing his colleagues handwriting?A. He had worked with his colleague long enough. B. His colleagues handwriting was SO beautiful. C. His colleagues handwriting was SO terrible. D. He still had a 1ot of Work to do. 52. People working together in an office used to _. A. talk more about handwriting B. take more notes on workdaysC. know better one anothers handwriting D. communicate better with one another53. The authors father wrote notes in pen _. A. to
