An SUV(运动型多用途车)had gone off the road，down a hill, and collided with a tree. When we heard the wreck, I remembered to say “call199”. My family was the first on the scene. Nick, my son, was on the cell phone with 911. He saw a friend who was a victim in the crash who was a 15 years old girl who was badly disfigured and had died instantly. It was a terrible scene.There had been six people in the truck, all between 15 and 17 years old. My husband and I checked all the victims, and I picked one who was conscious and stayed with him. I talked with him and had him lay on the ground. When I asked him if he was hurt, he said he was sore all over. When help arrived, they asked me to stay and continue working with them. I did as Debbie Romine, .my instructor, said in class, and did what they wanted. They even said thank you before they left.The sheriff deputies came by Saturday night to get our statements and play the 911 tape back, so Nick could identify all the voices in the background. They said over and over that the way he handled the call was the best they had heard in a long time. He was calm and worked with them even when he saw his friend who had died. The Sheriffs Department is sending some people over to help us work through our emotions.The first aid and CPR course I took in January really helped me. I just didnt expect to put it to good use so soon. Pennyd. Miller Kansas State Dept of Education, Topeka 36. According to the passage, in case of an emergence, people should dial_.

All the people in the car were killed in the accident.C. Debbie Romine offered much help to the victims.D. The writer took a first aid and CPR course in January.40.

The victims were all conscious after the accidentD. The police arrived long after the accidentBWhen an ant dies, other ants move the dead insect out. Sometimes, the dead ant get moved away very soonwithin an hour of dying. This behavior is interesting to scientists, who wonder how ants know for sureand so soonthat another ant is dead.One scientist recently came up with a way to explain this ant behavior. Dong-Hwan Choe is a biologist. Choe found that Argentine ants have a chemical on the outside of their bodies that signals to other ants, “Im deadtake me away.”But theres a twist to Choes discovery. Choe says that the living antsnot just the dead oneshave this death chemical. In other words, while an ant crawls around, perhaps in a picnic or home, its telling other ants that its dead.What keeps ants from dragging away the living ants？Choe found that Argentine ants have two additional chemicals on their bodies, and these tell nearby ants something like, “WaitIm not dead yet.” So Choes research turned up two sets of chemical signals in ants: one says, “Im dead,” and the other set says, “Im not dead yet.”Other scientists have tried to figure out how ants know when another ant is dead. If an ant is knocked unconscious, for example, other ants leave it alone until it wakes up. That means ants know that unmoving ants can still be alive.Choe suspects that when an Argentine ant dies, the chemical that says “Wait-Im not dead yet” quickly goes away. Once that chemical is gone, only the one that says “Im dead” is left. “Its because the dead ant no longer smells like a living ant that it gets carried to the graveyard, not because its body releases(释放) new unique chemicals after death,” said Choe. When other ants detect the “dead” chemical without the “not dead yet” chemical, they drag away the body.Understanding this behavior may help scientists figure out how to stop Argentine ants from invading new places and causing problems. Choe would like to find a way to use the newly discovered chemicals to spread ant killer to Argentine ant nests.The ants removal behavior is important to the overall health of the nest. “Being able to quickly remove dead individuals and other possible sources of disease is extremely important to all animals living in societies, including us,” says Choe. “Think about all the effort and money that we invest daily in waste management.”41.

Why is it important to remove dead individuals?A. Because it is easier to manage the living. B. Because it can save money to deal with the waste.C. Because it can provide more space for the living.D. Because it can keep the living from suffering disease.45. What might be the best title of the text?A. Dead or living? It is easy to judge B. Pulling away the dead ants is a difficult taskC. Ant nests have great undertaking capacity D. Leaving it alone or taking it away? Ants feel puzzledCIt was Thanksgiving morning and in the crowded kitchen of my small home I was busy preparing the traditional Thanksgiving turkey when the doorbell rang. I opened the front door and saw two small children in rags huddling together inside the storm door on the top step.“Any old papers, lady?” asked one of them.I was busy. I wanted to say “no” until I looked down at their feet. They were wearing thin little sandals, wet with heavy snow.“Come in and Ill make you a cup of hot cocoa.”They walked over and sat down at the table. Their wet sandals left marks upon the floor. I served them cocoa and bread with jam to fight against the cold outside. Then I went back to the kitchen and started again on my household budget.The silence in the front room struck me. I looked in. The girl held the empty cup in her hands, looking at it. The boy asked in a flat voice, “Lady, are you rich?”I looked at my shabby slipcovers. The girl put her cup back in its saucer carefully and said, “Your cups match your saucers.” Her voice was hungry with a need that no amount of food could supply. They left after that, holding their bundles of papers against the wind. They hadnt said “Thank you.” They didnt need to. They had reminded me that I had so much for which to be grateful. Plain blue china cups and saucers were only worth five pence. But they matched.I tasted the potatoes and stirred the meat soup. Potatoes and brown meat soup, a roof over our heads, my man with a good steady jobthese matched, too.I moved the chairs back from the fire and cleaned the living room. The muddy prints of small sandals were still wet upon my floor. Let them be for a while, I thought, just in case I should begin to forget how rich I am. 46.

Most of them have stayed overseas after finishing their intended courses, showed a survey that tracked 130 top performers in college entrance exams from 1977 to 1998. The survey, released on the China Alumni Association website, found it worrying that many of the top students would not _ despite the countrys rapid development in the past few decades. The government should find better ways to hold back talented students, said Cai Yanhou, a professor with Central South University in Changsha, capital of Hunan Province. UNESCO figures show Chinese students consist of 14 percent of international students, the highest in the world. Their favorite destinations for higher studies are the US, Britain and Japan. Some experts said handsome scholarships, better job prospects and more opportunities to pursue further studies are the main attractions of foreign universities. But Cai, who also led the survey team, said top in exams does not necessarily mean top in career because the study found none of the top students at college entrance exams had become a top Chinese expert or academic. Some of them are just more adaptable to exam-oriented education（应试教育） than their peers, experts said.The media fill pages and time slots（逢） with their success stories to gain wider readership and viewership. High schools promote their former students proudly to attract new ones, and universities
