Mr.Peter Johnson,aged twenty-three,battled for half an hour to escape from his trapped car
yesterday when it landed upside down in three feet of water.Mr.Johnson took the only escape
route-一through the boot(行李箱).
Mr.Johnson's car had finished up in a ditch(at Romney Marsin,Kent after skidding on ice
and hitting a bank."Fortunately,the water began to come in only slowly,"Mr.Johnson said."I
couldn't force the doors because they were jammed against the walls of the ditch and dared not open
the windows because I knew water would come flooding in."
Mr.Johnson,a sweet salesman of Sitting Home,Kent,first tried to attract the attention of other
motorists by sounding the horn and hammering on the roof and boot.Then he began his struggle to
escape.

pocket and I used it to unscrew the back seat to get into the boot.I hammered desperately with a
hammer trying to make someone hear,but no help came."
It took ten minutes to unscrew the seat,and a further five minutes to clear the swoet samples
from the boot.Then Mr.Johnson found a wrench and began to work on the boot lock.Fifteen
minutes passed by."It was the only chance I had.Einally it gave,but as soon as I moved the boot lid,
the water and mud poured in.I forced the lid down into the mud and scrambled clear as the car filled
4p.”

was looked after by the farmer's wife,Mrs.Lucy Bates.Huddled in a blanket,he said,"That thirty
minutes seemed like hours."Only the tips of the car wheels were visible,police said last night.The

It is important to learn how to protect our environment.Here is a 5R rule for us:
Reduce:If you want to reduce the waste,you should use things wisely.A large number of trees
are being cut down to make paper.If everyone uses paper wastefully,soon we would not have any
trees left.Other things are also being wasted,and people don't know what to do with the waste in big
cities.So it is necessary to reduce the waste.
Reuse:You should always think of reusing the usable things before throwing them away.Give
your clothes you do not use or the ones which are too small to the poor.In a family,you may pass on
such clothes to younger brothers or sisters.
Recycle:Bottles,cans and paper cups can be easily recycled.By doing so,we can save lots of
money.For example,coke cans are sent to a factory,where they are smashed (and melted and
the metal things are made for new coke cans.
Recover:When you buy a box of apples,there may be a few rotten ones,you have two choices:
one is to throw the whole apple away;or you could cut off the rotten parts and eat the good parts.
Repair:If one of the legs of your table is broken,you can repair it.If you want to change for
better ones,it is better for you to sell the old things or give them to other people who can use them
after repairing them.It is true that North America is a"throw away"society,but the time has come to
change our way of life so that we can protect our environment.Every one of us should try our best.

When it comes to friends,I desire those who will share my happiness,who possess wings of
their own and who will fly with me.I seek friends whose qualities illuminate (me and train me
up for love.It is for these people that I reserve the glowing hours,too good not to share.
When I was in the eighth grade,I had a friend.We were shy and"too serious"about our studies
when it was becoming fashionable with our classmates to learn acceptable social behaviors.We said
little at school,but she would come to my house and we would sit down with pencils and paper,and
onc of us would say:"Let's start with a train whistle today."We would sit quietly together and write
separate poems or stories that grew out of a train whistle.Then we would read them aloud.At the
end of that school year,we,too,were changing into social creatures and the stories and poems
stopped.
When I lived for a time in London,I had a friend,He was in despair()and I was in despair.
Bat our friendship was based on the idea in each of us that we would be sorry later if we did not
explore this great city because we had felt bad at the time.We met every Sunday for five weeks and
found many excellent things.We walked until our despairs disappeared and then we parted.We gave
London to each other.
For almost four years I have had remarkable friend whose imagination illuminates mine.We
write long letters in which we often discover our strangest selves.Each of us appears,sometimes in a
funny way,in the other's dreams.She and I agree that,at certain times,we seem to be parts of the
same mind.In my most interesting moments,I often think:"Yes,I must tell...."We have never met.
It is such comforting companions I wish to keep.One bright hour with their kind is worth more
to me than the lifetime services of a psychologist(心理学家),who will only fill up the healing(愈
silence necessary to those darkest moments in which I would rather be my owr best friend.

A.our exploration of London was a memorable gift to both of us

六、阅读表达(10分)
The position of secretary or personal assistant used to be the preserve of women,but now men
are making their way in.The change is due partly to the highest rate of graduate unemployment and
the growing awareness that salaries for PAs can reach f75,000 a year.
Joshua Watson,.25,has been an executive(行政的)assistant to a female senior director at
Barclays for 18 months,having previously worked as a PA.He does not see himself as working in a
woman's role."I don't feel that I'm treated any differently just because I'm male,"he said."I don't
think that is an issue for people from my generation.It's a good job for me because I am fond of
organizing.I have good exposure to see the top people in the company and I want to climb the
ladder.”
Recruitment()consultants are seeing an ever-increasing number of men interested in PA or
secretarial posts."Out of the 1,000 candidates we've registered in the past 12 months,around 200 are
male,"said David Morel,managing director of Tiger Recruitment."It is increasing the whole time.
Since 2011,the numbers have been doubling each year,and most of them are ambitious graduates."
Susanna Tait,managing director of Tay Associates,agrees.She said she had seen a "huge"
increase in numbers of male applicants."It's an obvious career choice for ambitious individuals keen
to operate at the centre of the business field."
Quest Professional,which offers training courses for companies and organizations,said this was
the first year that men had attended its executive PA program and that "more and more"men were
doing related course.
Top PAs in the City now earn between f35,000 and f75,000,plus benefits-in some cases even
more.Morel thinks this is the primary reason why more men are coming into the market.
Barclays encourages male applicants for PA and similar roles."We.will offer
everyone-regardless of their gender-the same opportunities to be successful,"said a
spokesperson.
