This is a true story of how my car got stuck in water and how a stranger helped me during the worst rain storm.

Last Sunday, the sky was grey when I woke up. The weather report said rain was coming, but I couldn’t stay home just because of rain.

Around 8:00 am I had a doctor’s appointment. It wasn’t raining then. At 9:00 I left the doctor’s office to drive to work, and it was raining hard. I just had to go about 5-6 miles down one main road to get to a nearby school, where I could stay until the rain ended. Unfortunately, the road in front of the school was flooded, and my car stopped in the middle.

“Who is going to save me?” I wondered. I shut off the engine and turned on my flashers (車燈). I called 911. They were not helpful. I called my husband, even though he couldn’t come and help me. I was also very close to a police station. But I never saw even one police car. I decided to get out of the car, since it was still pouring.

My best decision of the day had been to wear rain boots. I took my umbrella and quickly got out and ran across the street to a shelter.

Before long, a tow truck(拖車) happened to pass by the street. The driver kindly offered to help me. At that moment, I really needed car pulled out quickly, so I trusted the stranger. He pulled my car and drove me home. After he had dropped my car off, he also helped me check the engine. He said the engine was most likely flooded, but fortunately there was no water inside the car.

Although many years have passed, I still remember that stormy day and the warm-hearted stranger clearly.

Imagine this: your child has just been involved in an emergency (緊急事件). You call 911. The medical workers rush in and begin asking you questions as they work to rescue your chilD．But they also ask questions about your child’s medical history. It’s hard to think clearly. You begin to answer and then end up saying, “I don’t remember. I don’t know.” So, many doctors suggest that parents keep a record of their children’s important health facts handy. This can often help the medical team make a better and more rapid diagnosis (診斷) of a problem at a time when time really counts.
The most important information to know is the child’s allergies (過敏). It is especially crucial if the child is allergic to any medicine---penicillin, for example. Food allergies can come into play, too, so make note of those as well. Children who have been hospitalized in the past may have developed latex (膠乳) allergies. Often this information can help emergency workers find a cause for problems like breathing difficulties.
Keep a list of any medicine, including what your child is now taking. Some medicines can cause an adverse reaction when they are taken together, so the doctors need this information before they give your child anything. You’ll need to know when the child took the medicine last and how much was taken.
It is also important to tell emergency workers about any health problem or illness your child has haD．These pre-existing conditions can have a huge effect on the type of tests and treatment in an emergency.
Consider having any child who has a health problem wear a tag around his neck. This kind of rapid notice can help doctors who are providing emergency care, especially if your child suddenly becomes ill at day care, school, or a friend’s house.
63．How many types of allergies are mentioned in Paragraph 2?
A．One.        B．Two. C．Three.             D．Four.
64．The underlined word “adverse” in Paragraph 3 probably means __________.
A．beneficial B．harmful    C．physical           D．emotional
65． Which of the following is the main idea of this passage?
A．Everybody should learn something about first aid.
B．Children can easily develop allergies.
C．Doctors usually have difficulty saving a child in an emergency.
D．Parents should keep a record of their children’s health facts.

Finally, a cell phone

That's ... a phone

With rates as low as $3.75 per week!

“Well, I finally did it. I finally decided to enter the digital age and get a cell phone. My kids have been annoying me and the last straw was when my car broke down，and I was stuck by the highway for an hour before someone stopped to help. But when I went to the cell phone store, I almost changed my mind. The phones all have cameras, computers and a "global-positioning" something or other that's supposed to spot me from space. Goodness, all I want to do is to be able to talk to my grandkids! The people at the store weren't much help. They couldn't understand why someone wouldn't want a phone the size of a postage stamp. And the rate plans! They were confusing, and expensive ... and the contract (合同）lasted for two years! I'd almost given up until a friend told me about her new Jitterbug phone. Now, I have the convenience and safety of being about to stay in touch --- with a phone I can actually use. ”

Affordable plans that I can understand一and no contract to sign (簽訂）！ Unlike other cell phones，Jitterbug has plans that make sense. Why should I pay for minutes I'm never going to use? And if I do talk more than I plan, I won't find myself with no minutes like my friend who has a prepaid phone. Best of all, there is no contract to sign—so I'm not locked in for years at a time. The US-based customer service is second to none. And the phone gets service anywhere in the country.
