It was to be performed on a twenty-one week old fetus（胎儿）in uterus（子宫）at Vanderbilt University Medical Center. At that time, in 1999, twenty-one weeks in uterus was the earliest that the surgical team would consider for surgery. The worst possible outcome would be that the surgery would cause premature delivery, and no child born earlier than twenty-three weeks had survived.The tension could be felt in the operating room as the surgery began. A typical C-section cut was made to access the uterus, which was then lifted out and laid at the junction of the mothers thighs（大腿）. The entire procedure would take place within the uterus, and no part of the child was to breach the surgical opening. During the procedure, the position of the fetus was adjusted by gently moving the outside of the uterus. The entire surgical procedure on the child was completed in one hour and thirteen minutes. When it was over, the surgical team breathed a sigh of relief, as did I.As a doctor asked me what speed of film I was using, out of the corner of my eye I saw the uterus shake, but no ones hands were near it. It was shaking from within. Suddenly, an entire arm thrust out of the opening, then pulled back until just a little hand was showing. The doctor reached over and lifted the hand, which reacted and squeezed the doctors finger. As if testing for strength, the doctor shook the tiny fist. Samuel held firm. I took the picture! Wow! It happened so fast that the nurse standing next to me asked, “What happened?” “The child reached out,” I said. “Oh. They do that all the time,” she responded.The surgical opening to the uterus was closed and the uterus was then put back into the mother and the C-section opening was closed.It was ten days before I knew if the picture was even in focus(对焦). To ensure no digital manipulation(篡改) of images before they see them, USA Today requires that film be submitted unprocessed. When the photo editor finally phoned me he said, “Its the most incredible picture Ive ever seen.”【小题1】What may be the best title for the passage?A. An Amazing MomentB. A Pitiful FetusC. An Honorable Job as a PhotographerD. An Impressive Surgeon【小题2】 In 1999, people believed that it was _.A. possible for a fetus 21 weeks born to surviveB. likely for a fetus born 21 weeks to become abnormalC. right time for a fetus born 21 weeks to receive an operationD. risky for a fetus 21 weeks in uterus to receive an operation【小题3】From the second paragraph, we can see that the surgery was _.A. challenging but successfulB. demanding and unsuccessfulC. simple and shortD. long-lasting and difficult【小题4】The underlined “It” in paragraph 3 refers to _.A. the uterusB. the arm of the fetus C. the pictureD. the head of the fetusBMany cities have subways and underground public transportation to take locals and tourists alike rapidly around the cityHowever, theres something different about riding a London subwayIt may not look different, but the historical value of one of Englands most popular forms of transportation is enough to make riding the subway a must when visiting LondonWith a little under 300 different stations, the subway can take you almost anywhere you need to go Riding a London subway, a person from other countries will notice one major difference: in London, people do not look at each otherIn fact, eye contact is avoided at all timesThats not rudeness people are just too busy to bother looking Busy doing what, you ask? Well, theyre certainly not using the time for a moment of quiet thinkingNor are they reading a bookNew technology has replaced quiet habitsToday the only acceptable form of book on the London underground is an e-book Apple must earn a fortune from London commuters（使用月票上下班者）Since the launch of the iPhone in 2020, over 40,000yes, thats 40,000 “apps” have been designed Commuters love them because they are the perfect time-fillersOne “app”, called iShoot, is a game that features tanksAnother one, Tube Exits, tells passengers where to sit on the train to be closest to the exit of their destinationiSteam clouds the iPhone screen when you breathe into the microphoneYou can then write in the “steam” on your phone screen For those without an iPhone, another Apple product, the iPod, may be the distraction（消遣）of choiceIts not just teenagers who “plug in” to their musiciPods are a popular way to pass the time for all ages And if games, e-books and music arent enough to keep you occupied, then perhaps you would prefer a film? The development of palm DVD technology means many commuters watch their favorite TV shows or films on the way to workWith all these distractions, its amazing that people still remember to get off the trainCI was sitting in the room reading when I heard a loud noise. To defend my home from break-in, I picked up my defense weapon- a broom and went out. There on the roof of my porch（门廊）, I saw a grey fluffy squirrel. I drove her away with the broom, but the next day I heard her again. I searched squirrels on the net and found because their teeth keep growing, they have to constantly chew on things to shorten their teeth. This was disturbing so I asked my husband to call in some wildlife control people. On Monday morning two men showed up, with guns in their hands. I pointed uneasily to the hole in my porch roof. They held up their guns. Suddenly I saw in my mind the baby nursery inside. I stopped them and confirmed that they wouldnt harm her. They hesitated, but finally put down their guns. Then they brought out a bottle of deodorizer（除臭剂）and sprayed it into the squirrels home. They told me she would not like the smell and would leave.There was no sign of Mrs. Squirrel, so they blocked the hole, took my cheque for $250 and left. Shortly after they left, Mrs. Squirrel returned from her shopping trip. She was mad at being driven out and began feverishly clawing at the porch roof. In order to stop the destruction of my home, I drove her away with the broom again. Each day thereafter, Mrs. Squirrel continued her attack on my possession. I then called the company to report that “SHES BAAAAAACK” The receptionist said that if Mrs. Squirrel had managed to find another way i
