Answer the questions（根据短文内容回答下列问题）（共7分） On a cold winter day, many years ago, a French art teacher named Pierre Chevalier got on a train in Lyon to go to Paris. When he started his journey, he didn’t know that it was the beginning of almost 40 years of accidents and near-death experiences. During the journey, the train came off the tracks and fell into an icy river, killing 12 passengers. Chevalier managed to swim back to the shore. He had a broken leg and he needed treatment for shock, but was very happy to be alive. Two years later, Chevalier was on a plane from Paris to Moscow when a door suddenly opened and he fell out. A few minutes later, the plane crashed; 27 people were killed. Chevalier woke up in a hospital. The doctors told him he had been lucky—he’d landed in a haystack. He only had minor injuries. A few years later, he was hit by a bus, but again had no major injuries. Then a year after that, he was driving on a mountain road when he saw a lorry coming straight at him. He drove the car off the road, jumped out, landed in a tree and watched his car explode 100 meters below. If he hadn’t jumped out, and if that tree hadn’t been there, he would have died. “There are two ways you can look at it,” Chevalier said. “I’m either the world’s unluckiest man, or the world’s luckiest.” When a reporter asked Chevalier what he thought, he chose the luckiest option (选项). How does his story end? Two years ago, aged 71, Chevalier bought his first lottery ticket in 50 years and won more than 2 million dollars. Chevalier said he was going to enjoy his life from then on, and told reporters that he wanted to buy a house, a car and a speedboat, and get married. After this, a TV company in America said they wanted him to make an advertisement. At first, he accepted, but then he changed his mind. Chevalier said he wouldn’t fly to Los Angeles for the filming, because he didn’t want to push his luck. Who knows? If he had accepted the invitation, maybe he would have had another accident. But Mr. Chevalier is a lucky man. If he’d had another accident, he probably would have survived that too! 53. Chevalier was a French art teacher, wasn’t he? _______, _____________________. 54. How long did Chevalier’s history of accidents last? ________________________________________________________ 55.

Answer the questions（根据短文内容回答下列问题）（共7分） On a cold winter day, many years ago, a French art teacher named Pierre Chevalier got on a train in Lyon to go to Paris. When he started his journey, he didn’t know that it was the beginning of almost 40 years of accidents and near-death experiences. During the journey, the train came off the tracks and fell into an icy river, killing 12 passengers. Chevalier managed to swim back to the shore. He had a broken leg and he needed treatment for shock, but was very happy to be alive. Two years later, Chevalier was on a plane from Paris to Moscow when a door suddenly opened and he fell out. A few minutes later, the plane crashed; 27 people were killed. Chevalier woke up in a hospital. The doctors told him he had been lucky—he’d landed in a haystack. He only had minor injuries. A few years later, he was hit by a bus, but again had no major injuries. Then a year after that, he was driving on a mountain road when he saw a lorry coming straight at him. He drove the car off the road, jumped out, landed in a tree and watched his car explode 100 meters below. If he hadn’t jumped out, and if that tree hadn’t been there, he would have died. “There are two ways you can look at it,” Chevalier said. “I’m either the world’s unluckiest man, or the world’s luckiest.” When a reporter asked Chevalier what he thought, he chose the luckiest option (选项). How does his story end? Two years ago, aged 71, Chevalier bought his first lottery ticket in 50 years and won more than 2 million dollars. Chevalier said he was going to enjoy his life from then on, and told reporters that he wanted to buy a house, a car and a speedboat, and get married. After this, a TV company in America said they wanted him to make an advertisement. At first, he accepted, but then he changed his mind. Chevalier said he wouldn’t fly to Los Angeles for the filming, because he didn’t want to push his luck. Who knows? If he had accepted the invitation, maybe he would have had another accident. But Mr. Chevalier is a lucky man. If he’d had another accident, he probably would have survived that too! 53. Chevalier was a French art teacher, wasn’t he? _______, _____________________. 54.
