John and Mary had a nice home and two lovely children. John had just been asked to go on a business trip to another city for several days and Mary would go with him too. They hired a reliable woman to care for their children and returned home a little earlier than they had planned.
As they drove into their hometown, they found a home on fire. Afr having a look, Mary said, “Oh well, it isn’t our fire. Let’s go home.” But John

Get the children!” John grabbed (抓住) her by the shoulder saying, “Get a hold of yourself and tell us where the children are!” “In the basement,” cried the lady. In spite of Mary’s disagreement, John soaked (浸湿) his clothes and ran to the basement which was full of smoke. He found the door and grabbed two children. As he left he could hear some more cry.

In a rare and difficult mission, a plane successfully rescued two sick workers from the U.S. science station at the South Pole on Wednesday. The medical rescue took place in the dark. Regular flights to the South Pole are usually considered too risky between the months of February and October.
The Amundsen-Scott station is run by the National Science Foundation. The plane arrived there after a difficult 2,400-kilometer, nine-hour trip from a British base on the Antarctic Peninsula.
The National Science Foundation spokesman Peter West said the rescue operation went according to plan. “It was a very challenging operation for the pilots, for everyone who is around to support the pilots, everyone from weather forecasters, to flight followers, all those people. So it was extremely challenging and they have performed extraordinarily well in the face of those challenges.”
The National Science Foundation did not release the workers’ names, nationalities, or medical conditions. The National Science Foundation decided last week to send away at least one person from the station. The station has a doctor and a physician’s assistant. They make contact with doctors in the U.S. as needed. But, the worker needed medical care that the station’s doctor could not provide. They decided to send away a second worker who was also sick.
West said the rescue operation was considered risky because right now
Antarctica is always dark and extremely cold. “It is dark there now, because we are into the Antarctic night. It is very cold at the South Pole. The average temperature is minus 60 Celsius, though it can be colder and can be warmer. There is weather to contend with, which is not the same as temperature. Blowing and drifting snow and all of those things.” 8. What was the task of this special flight?
A. To observe climate in Antarctica. B. To send doctors to Antarctica. C. To save people from Antarctica. D. To deliver equipment to Antarctica. 9. What was Peter West’s attitude towards the people involved in this action? A. Neutral. Agreeable
10. What do you know about the two workers?
A. Their names. B. Their nationalities. C. Their working place.
D.Their medical conditions.
B. Praiseful.
C. Optimistic.
D.
11. Why were the two workers sent away?
A. They couldn’t work any longer. B. They were not used to the extreme cold.
C. There was no medical care in the station. D . The station doctor couldn’t treat their illness.
