On a cold winter day，a group of strangers band together to save three children. The 30 miles of switchbacks(急转弯) that snake through the pine-covered mountains of Logan Canyon in Utah are enough to make most drivers' hands sweat.

But Roger Andersen，a 46-year-old father of four，wasn't expecting any trouble on the road last New Year's Eve，when he set off for an unexpected ski trip to the Bear River Mountains with nine-year-old daughter Mia，four-year-old son Baylor，and nine-year-old neighbor Kenya Wildman.Andersen had driven through the canyon hundreds of times over the years.

“We ski in that area at least 20 times a year，” says Andersen.“I know the spots that ice up a lot in the winter.”

The weather was glorious for hitting the slopes—30 degrees and sunny—but the higher they drove，the slicker(滑溜溜的) the roads became.Rounding a sharp turn at mile maker 473，Andersen saw a truck that had skated off the road and tapped his brakes(刹车) suddenly.In an instant，the Honda Accord was sliding at 25 miles per hour toward the shoulder of the highway，then slipping down a steep ten-foot embankment(路堤) toward the cold Logan River.As it hit the water，the car tipped toward the passenger side，hesitated，and then rolled onto its roof and sank into the river.

There was no time to tell the kids what to do.The crash had broken a few windows，and within seconds，the cab of the upside-down car was filled with water.“It was frightening how fast we were completely underwater，” remembers Andersen，a soft-spoken product development manager.“You're thinking，?Is this how it's all going to end？'”

Then，Andersen began to search the freezing water for the kids.Mia had been right next to him in the front seat；now，in the blackness，he couldn't find her.“I thought，if I don't get out，maybe none of us is going to get out.” Andersen untied his seat belt，swam through a broken window，and gasped for air at the surface.That's when he saw a group of men，about ten in all，appear at the top of the embankment.One after another，they jumped into the water，shouting,“Who else is in the car？”Andersen says respectfully,“It was like the sight of angels.” 【语篇导读】 Andersen的车不幸落入冰冷的河水中，一群素昧平生的人对车里的人展开了一场生死营救……

1．Which word can best describe the feelings of most drivers when driving on this slope?

A．Nervous.

B．Curious.

C．Excited.

D．Puzzled.

解析 推理判断题。第二段提到这段30英里的路急转弯多，足以让多数司机手心出汗(are enough to make most drivers' hands sweat)，据此可推知，多数司机开车走在这段路上的时候应该都非常紧张，故选择A。 答案 A

2．What Andersen says in Paragraph 4 shows that ______.

A．he is used to driving on such a dangerous road B．he has great confidence in driving on this steep road C．he likes to ski on such a steep downhill road D．he would not meet such trouble as other drivers did

解析 推理判断题。由Andersen说的话可知，他一年要在该地区滑雪至少20次，也对该地区冬天的情况很了解，由此推测他走这条路时十分有信心，故选择B。 答案 B

3．How did Andersen escape from the crashed car at last?

A．He was saved with the help of some passers-by. B．He swam out of a broken window. C．He broke a window nearby. D．He drove his car out of the water.

解析 细节理解题。从文章最后一段可知，Andersen在车里找不到孩子，自己松开安全带，从一个破的车窗里游了出来，故选择B。 答案 B

4．Andersen's attitude toward these men's rescuing the children might be that of______.

A．doubt C．sympathy

B．satisfaction D．appreciation

解析 推理判断题。从最后一段Andersen的回答“It was like the sight of angels.”可推知，Andersen 对这些人的见义勇为是非常感激的，故选择D。 答案 D 【长难句解读】

原文 As it hit the water，the car tipped toward the passenger side，hesitated，and then rolled onto its roof and sank into the river.

译文 当接触到水面时，车子向副驾驶那一边倾斜，稍停了一下，然后底朝天跌入河中。 分析 这是一个复合句，As引导时间状语从句，the car tipped...为主句，其中的四个动词为并列谓语，表示按时间依次发生的动作。

Here are a few of our favorite entries so far in our \contest* After reading these, head over to Face book and sublimit your own story a-bout a special moment or lesson that shaped your life． \

My first year of teaching, there was a kid named John in my class. John was difficult to control and he nearly drove me crazy. While talking about him one day, an old teacher put his hand on my shoulder and said, “There will always be a John. Your job is to learn to discover what makes him different and help him succeed.” The next year, there was indeed another John. But that advice taught me that there is something to appreciate in everyone. “An Early Key Lesson” By Elaine West

Before I began my first teaching job, my mother, a teacher of 30 years, gave me a very special gift, five simple words that have had an effect on my entire life. “Make friends with the janitor (门卫).” Her wisdom taught me the respect for all types of characters and continues to enrich my life to this day. Just five little words but what an impact they can have when you take them to heart. “Raising Mommy” By Jan Davis

Being a mother can always present challenges and rewards. Someone told me early that children will teach you everything you need to know. Being a mother is being raised. Our children become our advisers. Their dreams become our professors, as we are taking notes carefully. The sounds of their laughter and smiles are a great reward to us. Their tears remind us that it is okey to fail, and that we should wipe the tears away and try again.

My first day of high school was like any other first day: registering? finding new classmates, meeting new teachers, and seeking new friends．

During lunch, I ran into my first snag （因难） of the day． At the dining hall, as the checkout （付款处） lady asked for my money, I realized that I had forgotten my lunch money ．When I told her about it, I heard a voice behind me．I turned around and there stood a teacher telling her he would pay for my lunch．He told me his name, Mr．Pete Walker, and said, \you get a chance, you should take my history class．\his class later that day． Mr．Walker befriended me on the．very first clay of school at a very crucial time of the day--lunch !

He always told us we should do more than we ever thought．he pushes us to clod all things better．He coached many sports, and sponsored many after-class activities．If we were interested in something, he would find a way to expose us to it by inviting speakers, taking us on field trips, or obtaining information for us．

Two years later, my junior year in school was clicking along nicely when one day I was riding my motorcycle and I was hit by a car． I spent six days in hospital and was at home in bed for two weeks before returning to school．Mr．Walker stopped by the hospital each day with my work
