语 篇 提 能阅读理解AIt was the summer of 1998 and I was trying to study hard for my engineering degree. I went up to the roof for a break and watched people swimming in the natural rock pool below our house. It was a sunny day. But as I looked into the distance, I discovered a series of three or four big waves racing towards the shore. They must have been at least four metres high and were heading at speed in the direction of the pool. From the screams that started coming from the beach, I could tell someone was in trouble.Without thinking, I held my bodyboard (冲浪板) and shouted at a stranger to call the lifeguards (救生员). My neighbour Moises had heard the screaming as well and was also outside with his bodyboard, so together we rushed to the sea.Once we got closer, we discovered two people floating about 400 metres out. Waiting for help wasnt a choice. I didnt think twice about trying to save them. When we finally reached them 10 minutes later, they were almost lifeless, pale and motionless. We could tell they were still alive from their small breaths. We put them on our boards, patted their faces to wake them up, telling them to be strong, all the while swimming hard to keep ourselves afloat.Thirty minutes later, I began to feel a bit afraid and tired. Finally, a small boat with three lifeguards headed towards us. When the boat pulled up, we helped push the couple on board, only to be told that there was no room for us. It seemed pretty unprofessional (不专业的) to leave us there we were a couple of miles from the shore.I didnt feel like a hero. Im sure that anyone who could swim would have done the same thing.语篇解读本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者和他的邻居救助两位被海浪冲离岸边的游泳者的故事。1What can we learn from the passage?A.

All of the leftovers (残余物) that werent good for anything else went to pot. That is, they were thrown into a big pot to make a stew (炖菜). Now when we say something has gone to pot, we mean it has not been taken care of and has gone bad.“Have you checked the garden recently？” Dan asked. “No，” Pete replied, “not for a week or so.”“Youd better get out there, or the weeds will take over and the whole thing will go to pot.”Live and let liveThis saying means mind your own business and let other people live as they wish to live.Kenya said to Daryl, “Look at those ugly shoes!
