When looking back at the scary situation that happened to him on Saturday, Patrick Canney said he couldn’t still believe that it was true. It was a situation that could have ended with a tragedy for Patrick, his father and his sister. But it didn’t really happen thanks to Patrick.
That morning, Patrick’s father was driving down busy Interstate 95 in Peabody, Massachusetts. The car started going really slowly, which seized Patrick’s attention. And then he realized that something was wrong. At that point, Patrick found his father was having a seizure （中風）.
“It was really scary,” he said. “It was unlike anything that had ever really happened to me.” But Patrick didn’t act scared. He took control of the situation and got behind the wheel of the SUV. He turned the key off and pulled the car over to the breakdown lane （車道）. He then stopped the SUV, grabbed a cell phone out of his dad’s pocket and called 911 for help.
Patrick’s 9-year-old sister was in the SUV, too. He told his little sister not to worry about it. Then he opened the door and stood right next to the guard rail. Thanks to Patrick’s description of their location during the 911 call, Massachusetts State Police were able to locate the Canneys within minutes -- and get them all to safety.
“A 12-year-old boy’s clear thinking and decisive action actually saved this family from a tragedy,” said state police spokesman David. “That’s Patrick. He is cool and collected. I couldn’t imagine what would be the result if he were panicked （驚慌失措）.”
Patrick’s father was expected to recover fully from the seizure. And thanks to Patrick, all of the Canneys are still alive. “The word hero may be overused in our society,” said David. “But Patrick is surely that -- and then some.”
小題1:As soon as he found his father had a seizure, Patrick ________.
A．told his sister not to worryB．called the police for help at once
C．tried his best to save his fatherD．managed to take control of the car

Streit was an experienced safecracker who never used force —either against people or safes (保險箱). He was a real artist of his trade and it took him only 19 minutes to open the most difficult safe he had ever encountered. In about 10 years, helped by his brother Stefan and two friends, he took about $330,000 —from the safes of 28 banks in Austria. On his last job, early in 1999, he left the safe door open and $80,000 behind. With the money ws a note, "We don’t need all that much."
     A witness (目擊者) recognized his car and Streit was caught by the police. Then he was sent to Austria’s Stein Prison to serve a six-year sentence. He boasted (吹噓) at his trial that he would continue breaking the law, "I am a thief and I shall use every opportunity." Despite the warn-ing, prison officials moved Streit to the prison’s blacksmith (鐵匠) shop. One day during the week before Christmas, Streit disappeared. Searchers found all his doors were well locked. Streit had managed to make a set of keys and let himself out.
     Not to freedom, though. After crossing into Bavaria, Streit attracted the suspicion (懷疑) of German customs police on purpose and got himself arrested. "I want to be in a German prison,"he explained to the surprised police. "As German courts give much milder (溫和的) sentences for crimes like mine and will reduce the time I would otherwise have served in Stein Prison."
     In prison, Streit persuaded his keepers to let him make a Christmas Eve telephone call to his former keeper, Karl Schreiner of Stein Prison. "I’m sorry if I caused trouble. I didn’t want to embarrass anybody by escaping. Conditions weren’t that bad. In fact the food was better than it is here."
小題1:The underlined word "safecracker" in the first paragraph means "_________".
A．prisonerB．criminal C．stealerD．Robber
小題2:What’s the correct order of the following events?
a. Streit was caught by German customs police.
b. Streit left a note in the bank.
c. Streit was sent to Stein Prison.
d. Streit worked in a blacksmith shop.
e. Streit escaped from prison.
A．d-b-a-c-eB．b-a-c-d-e C．b-c-d-e-aD．d-b-c-e-a
小題3:What helped Streit escape from prison?
A．His living alone in prison.
B．His good relations with the prison officials.
C．His cooperation with other prisoners.
D．His working in the blacksmith shop.
小題4:Streit was finally caught because _______.
A．his car was recognized by someone
B．he left a note in the bank safe
C．he was recognized by customs police
D．he made a phone call to his former keeper
小題5:Streit preferred to serve his time in Germany because _______.
A．he hated working in the blacksmith shop in the Austrian prison
B．the life of prisoners in Germany was better than those in Austria’s
C．he wouldn’t have to stay that long in a German prison
D．he could escape more easily from a German prison
