D

Mr．Peter Johnson, aged twenty-three, battled for half an hour to escape from his trapped car yesterday when it landed upside down in three feet of water．Mr．Johnson took the only escape route—through the boot(行李箱)．

Mr．Johnson’s car had finished up in a ditch(溝渠) at Romney Marsin, Kent after skidding on ice and hitting a bank．“Fortunately, the water began to come in only slowly,” Mr．Johnson said．“I couldn’t force the doors because they were jammed against the walls of the ditch and dared not open the windows because I knew water would come flooding in．”

Mr．Johnson, a sweet salesman of Sitting Home, Kent, first tried to attract the attention of other motorists by sounding the horn and hammering on the roof and boot．Then he began his struggle to escape．

Later he said, “It was really a half penny that saved my life．It was the only coin I had in my pocket and I used it to loosen the back seat to get into the boot．I hammered desperately with a hammer trying to make someone hear, but no help came．”

It took ten minutes to loosen the seat, and a further five minutes to clear the sweet samples from the boot．Then Mr．Johnson found a wrench and began to work on the boot lock．Fifteen minutes passed by．“It was the only chance I had．Finally it gave, but as soon as I moved the boot lid, the water and mud poured in．I forced the lid down into the mud and scrambled clear as the car filled up．”

His hands and arms cut and bruised(擦傷), Mr．Johnson got to Beckett Farm nearby, where he was looked after by the farmer’s wife, Mrs．Lucy Bates．Huddled in a blanket, he said, “That thirty minutes seemed like hours．” Only the tips of the car wheels were visible, police said last night．The vehicle had sunk into two feet of mud at the bottom of the ditch．

73．_______________  is the most important to Mr．Johnson during his escape?

A．The hammer    B．The coin C．The screw             D．The horn

74．Mr．Johnson’s car accident happened _________________．

C

Winter’s short days are more than cold．For many people, winter depression, the most common type of Seasonal Affective Disorder(SAD), is as much a part of the reason as hats and scarves(圍巾)．

Winter serious SAD sufferers may need medical treatment．Those feeling a little blue can help themselves by sticking to a healthy lifestyle．Here are some tips:

Pace yourself．Don’t expect to do everything you normally can．Set a realistic schedule．Don’t listen to negative thinking, like blaming yourself or expecting to fail．

Get involved in activities that make you feel good or feel like you’ve achieved something．For example, play table tennis or badminton．

If you are feeling depressed, you may feel like staying away from friends．Yet this is a time when a friend’s support can be helpful．Call them regularly．Remember, the more we put off calling or visiting a friend, the harder it is to rebuild a friendship．

Think clearly about what’s wrong or right．Instead of giving in to vague feelings of sadness, look at your problems objectively．Break down problems into specific issues that you can work on．

Regular exercise helps to prevent and ease depression．

Eat well．Studies show that a healthy diet can help to maintain(keep) a healthy body and mind．The vitamins, minerals and micro-nutrients found in a balanced diet may help our bodies to produce feel-good hormones(荷爾蒙)．Foods containing chemicals to help produce feel-good hormones include bananas, turkey, nuts and seeds．Eat at least five pieces of fruit and vegetables every day．

E

If you want to teach your children how to say sorry, you must be good at saying it yourself, especially to your own children．But how you say it can be quite tricky．

If you say to your children “I am sorry I got angry with you, but …” what follows that “but” can make the apology ineffective: “I had a bad day” or “your noise was giving me a headache” leaves the person who has been injured feeling that he should be apologizing for his bad behavior in expecting an apology．

Another method by which people appear to apologize without actually doing so is to say “I’m sorry you’re upset”; this suggests that you are somehow at fault for allowing yourself to get upset by what the other person has done．

Then there is the general, all-covering apology, which avoids the necessity of identifying a specific act that was particularly hurtful or insulting, and which the person who is apologizing should promise never to do again．Saying “I’m useless as a parent” does not commit a person to any specific improvement．

These pseudo-apologies are used by people who believe saying sorry shows weakness．Parents who wish to teach their children to apologize should see it as a sign of strength, and therefore not resort to these pseudo-apologies．

But even when presented with examples of genuine contrition (悔悟)，children still need help to become aware of the complexities of saying sorry．A three-year-old might need help in understanding that other children feel pain just as he does, and that hitting a playmate over the head with a heavy toy requires an apology．A six-year-old might need reminding that spoiling other children’s expectations can require an apology．A 12-year-old might need to be shown that raiding the biscuit tin without asking permission is acceptable, but that borrowing a parent’s clothes without permission is not．

77．According to the author, “tricky” means __________．

A．simple             B．complicated             C．cautious           D．various

78．It is not advisable to use the general, all-covering apology because _______．

       A．it is only an empty promise                          B．it is not necessary

       C．it is neither clear nor effective        D．it is hurtful and insulting

79．In teaching children to say sorry ______．        

       A．parents should set them a good example       

B．parents should be patient and tolerant

       C．the significance of it should be involved       

D．their ages should be taken into account

80．According to the passage, apologizing properly is ________．  

       A．a(chǎn) social issue calling for immediate attention   

B．a(chǎn) big problem faced by every family

       C．a(chǎn) sign of social progress                               

D．not as simple as it seems
