A group was protesting airplane noise, and Schum, who had kicked off his shoes, got out of the car.Within seconds, though, Schum saw something astonishing. A small plane dived and crashed into the woods about 100 yards from the runway. “I dont remember making the decision that I should go and help out,” he recalls, “I just started running.”Schum ran across the street barefoot, climbed over a six-foot-high chain-link fence, and dashed about 100 yards toward the woods. When he got there, he discovered 51-year-old pilot Stephen Bochter, his head bleeding, beside the burning plane. Bochters passenger, his wife, Kim Brillo, was on the ground, unconscious. “She had blood all over her,” says Schum. “I thought she was dead.” Jack Gleeson, 17, a high school student working a summer job at the airport, caught up to Schum and, with Bochters help, lifted the chain-link fence and brought Brillo underneath it. Moments later, the entire plane exploded. After the rescue team arrived, Bochter and Brillo were airlifted to a nearby hospital and treated for cuts, injuries and Brillos broken arm. Bochter, an experienced pilot, later said that the planes electrical system had failed shortly after takeoff. He had been attempting to land at the East Hampton Airport when the plane began to nosedive. He managed to level the wings before crashing into the woods.“Everything was on fire, and Schum came out of nowhere to save us,” says Bochter. “Were blessed to have lived through it.”56.

They could only afford to send one of their six children to school.Dickens was not that child. His parents chose to send a daughter, who had a talent for music, to an academy.Then at the age of 12, Dickens life took another turn for the worse. His father, a clerk, was placed in prison for unpaid debts.And, being the oldest male left at home, Dickens took up work at a factory.His horrible experience there became the fuel for his future writing. His father was freed three months later and inherited (继承)a small amount of money. Dickens was then sent to school. From 1836 to 1837, he wrote a monthly series of stories. Thus The Pickwick Papers, came into being, which brought fame to the 23-year-old man. Throughout his career, Dickens covers various situations in his novels. He wrote about the miserable lives of the poor in Oliver Twist, the French Revolution in Tale of Two Cities, and social reform in Hard Times. He also wrote David Copperfield, a book thought to be based on his own life. “I do not write bitterly or angrily, for I know all these things have worked together to make me what I am,” he once said. His difficult childhood did indeed shape the person he became, as well as his writing career. There are shades of young Dickens in many of his most beloved characters, including David Copperfield and Oliver Twist. Like the author, all these characters come from poor beginnings and are able to rise above their setbacks and achieve success. “Minds, like bodies, will often fall into an ill-conditioned state from too much comfort,” he once wrote. On June 9th, 1870, aged 58, Dickens died, leaving one unfinished work.The words on his tombstone read: “He was a sympathizer to the poor, the suffering and the oppressed (受压迫者), and by his death, one of Englands greatest writers is lost to the world.” 60.The book that called public attention to Dickens was . A. The Pickwick PapersB.Oliver TwistC.Tale of Two Cities D.David Copperfield61.The underlined phrase “shades” means “ ”. A.various shapes B.situations C.different experiences D.reminders 62.From the story, we can see Dickensattitude towards an easy life is .

According to Gabe Rothschild, Emerald Valleys mayor, people gathered in the suburbs of the city, carrying heavy telescopes, expecting to watch the brightly burning meteors passing through the sky. What they found instead was a sky so brightened by the citys lights that it darkened the light of the meteors passing overhead.“My family was so frustrated,” admitted town resident Duane Cosby, “We wanted to make this an unforgettable family outing, but it turned out to be a huge disappointment.” Astronomers-scientists who study stars and planets-have been complaining about this problem for decades. They say that light pollution prevents them from seeing objects in the sky that they could see quite easily in the past. They call on people and the government to take measures to fight against it.
