Twelve-year-old Paul Crossnickle has lived as a hero for six years now. It wasn’t until he wrote a composition for a recent class project, however, that he got the recognition he should have got.

On July 27, 1991, Paul saved his three-year-old sister Julie from drowning in the family swimming pool. When he found her, he jumped in, pulled her off the bottom and brought her to the ground.

Their father was trying to bring Julie to life when fire fighters arrived. She survived without serious injury.

Last month, in Paul’s seventh-grade language arts class at Juniper Elementary School, teacher Liliana Mauro asked students to write about an important event in their lives. Paul wrote about rescuing Julie.

“He was somewhat disappointed, for he was never recognized for his deed,” Principal Mondragon said. “Mrs. Mauro telephoned the Fire Department and looked into what they could do for him.”

The school held a regular gathering for their teachers and 200 pupils, which surprised Paul Firefighters from a local station joined Assistant Fire Chief Dave Horn and the city officials who presented Paul with a plaque (徽章) that recognized him “for his heroic efforts preventing a needless loss of life in a near-drowning accident.”

Paul’s parents, Alan and Kathy Crossnickle, were there as well as Julie.

“Paul’s story was one of success…and his sister was able to survive with all her faculties in place,” fire Captain Steve Valenzuela said. “This should remind everyone else that because of Paul’s quick action, knowing to get his sister out of the pool and calling 911 and beginning CPR probably saved her life.”

65. The correct order of the story is _____.

   a. Paul became a known hero      

b. Paul wrote a composition    c. Paul pulled his three-year—old sister off the bottom.      d. Paul’s parents were present at the gathering.

  A. a, b, c, d, e, f         B. c, a, b, d, e, f       C. c, b, e, d, f, a      D. b, c, a, e, f, d

66. Fire Captain Steve meant that _______ when he said that Julie survived “with all her faculties in place.”

  A. Julie was saved undamaged             

B. Julie was frightened though she was saved

  C. Julie was sent to hospital without delay    

D. Julie was able to return to the place because of Paul’s rescue

67. What conclusion can we get from the text?

  B. The school wanted other students to learn from Paul.

  C. Mrs. Mauro was fond of Paul very much.

Jean is a bright young woman who comes from a rich and famous family. She goes to a good university and has everything that money can buy. Well, almost everything. The problem is that the people in Jean’s family are so busy that they can hardly find time to be with her. In fact, Jean is quite lonely.

So Jean spends a lot of time on her QQ. She likes being anonymous(匿名), talking to people who do not know about her famous family and her rich life. She uses the name Linda on QQ and has made a lot of friends who she keeps in touch with quite often.

Last year Jean made a very special friend on QQ. His name was David and lived in San Francisco. David was full of stories and jokes. He and Jean had a common interest in rock music and modern dance. So it always took them hours to talk happily on QQ and sometimes they even forgot their time. Of course, they wanted to know more about each other. David sent a picture of himself: He was a tall, good-looking young man with a big, happy smile. As time went by, they became good friends and often sent cards and small things to each other.

When Jean’s father told her that he was going on a business trip to San Francisco, she asked him to let her go with him so that she could give David a surprise for his birthday. She would take him the latest DVD of their favourite rock singer. But when she knocked on David’s door in San Francisco, she found that her special friend was a twelve-year-old boy named Jim!
