Welcome to WSU Libraries! In this guide, we’ll unlock the mysteries of call numbers and location prefixes. Knowing these helps you quickly locate and access your desired books.
Call Numbers
Books and materials are arranged on our shelves according to the Library of Congress (LC) classification system. These call numbers uniquely identify and organize items near other materials on the same or similar subjects. Consider the call number: LB 2395 C65 1991.
·LB defines the subject area. The call letters are typically arranged in alphabetical (字母的) order, starting from A and continuing through the alphabet. Knowing the letter (s) for your subject area gives you a place to start browsing the shelves. For example: A — General Works; B — Philosophy, Psychology, Religion; D — World History; G — Geography; H — Social Sciences; J — Political Science; K — Law; L — Education; M — Music; N — Arts; P — Language and Literature; Q — Science… For more, click here.
·2395 is the classification number, which further distinguishes the subject matter. Read as a whole number: 1, 2, 3, 45, 100, 2430…
·C65 is the Cutter number and usually represents the author’s last name. Find C, then 65. Read the number as a decimal (小数).
·1991 is the year of publication.
Location Prefixes
Some call numbers have a location prefix. Location prefixes mean that the book or material is shelved in a special place, and may have loan restrictions. WSU uses the following prefixes:

The person who set the course of my life was a school teacher named Marjorie Hurd. When I stepped off a ship in New York Harbor in 1949, I was a nine-year-old war refugee, who had lost his mother and was coming to live with the father he did not know. My mother, Eleni Gatzoyiannis, had been imprisoned and shot for sending my sisters and me to freedom.
I was thirteen years old when I entered Chandler Junior High. Shortly after I arrived, I was told to select a hobby to pursue during “club hours.” The idea of hobbies and clubs made no sense to my immigrant ears, but I decided to follow the prettiest girl in my class. She led me into the presence of Miss Hurd, the school newspaper adviser and English teacher.
A tough woman with salt-and-pepper hair and determined eyes, Miss Hurd had no patience with lazybones. She drilled us in grammar, assigned stories for us to read and discuss, and eventually taught us how to put out a newspaper. Her introduction to the literary wealth of Greece gave me a new perspective on my war-torn homeland, making me proud of my origins. Her efforts inspired me to understand the logic and structure of the English language. Owing to her inspiration, In the twenty-five years that followed, I worked as a professional journalist.
Miss Hurd retired at the age of 62. By then, she had taught for a total of 41 years. Even after her retirement, she continually made a project of unwilling students in whom she spied a spark of potential. The students were mainly from the most troubled homes, yet she alternately bullied and charmed them with her own special brand of tough love, until the spark caught fire.
Miss Hurd was the one who directed my grief and pain into writing. But for Miss Hurd, I wouldn’t have become a reporter. She was the catalyst that sent me into journalism and indirectly caused all the good things that came after.
4. Which of the following caused the author to think of his homeland differently?
A. Stepping on the American soil for the first time.
B. His mother’s miserable death.
C. Being exposed to Greek literary works.
D. Following the prettiest girl in his class.
5. Which words best describe Miss Hurd as a teacher?
A. Strict but inspiring. B. Tough but indifferent.
C. Impatient but caring. D. Serious but approachable.
6. What can be inferred from paragraph 4?
A. The students Miss Hurd taught were all finally fired.
B. Miss Hurd’s contribution was recognized across the nation.
C. Miss Hurd employed a unique way to handle these students.
D. Students from troubled homes preferred Miss Hurd’s teaching style.
7. Why does the author call Miss Hurd a “catalyst”?
A. To stress her role in starting his writing career.
B. To suggest she changed his personality completely.
C. To indicate she was the only person who helped him.
D. To show she was as powerful as a chemical substance.
C
In our human-centric view, the ability to shoot ink or change colors may seem odd, but you know what’s really odd? Menopause (更年期). You can count species other than humans known to experience and outlive menopause on one hand. Only orcas (虎鲸) and some whale populations have females that live long past their reproductive years to become grandmothers. But a new, landmark study confirms that at least one population of chimpanzees can now be added to the list.
The discovery comes as the result of 21 years’ worth of observing the Ngogo community of wild chimpanzees in Kibale National Park, Uganda. Studying urine from 66 Ngogo females, aged 14 to 67, showed that their hormone levels changed after approaching 50, confirming they were in menopause. Interestingly, 50 is also the age when many people begin to experience menopause. “It’s really cool to finally have that piece of the puzzle come into place,” says Catherine Hobaiter, a primatologist who was not part of the new study.
But Catherine points out that the Ngogo community lives in a chimp paradise: the resource-rich, well-protected Kibale National Park that also lacks leopards, their main predator. And because the Ngogo community is found in the heart of the park, its only neighbors are other chimps — not humans who can expose chimpanzees to viruses that have devastated other communities. “The Ngogo population may be an outlier (特殊群体) when it comes to the rest of the species,” she cautions.
And there is a question concerning “the grandmother effect”, according to which a grandmother has a decidedly beneficial effect on her children and grandchildren. Chimpanzees do not form long-term pair-bonds and females leave in search of new communities when they reach maturity, which means grandmother chimpanzees likely don’t know who their grandchildren are in the same way humans or even orcas do. What they do after menopause remains a question of interest. “And that’s all future work to be done,” said Catherine.
8. What can be learned about menopause?
A. It is rare among animals. B. It is unique to human beings.
C. It is limited to the age of 50. D. It is linked to living environments.
9. What does the underlined part in paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. Scientists have solved the menopause puzzle.
B. Ngogo females’ condition remains a mystery.
C. Chimpanzee menopause is still in question.
D. The finding offers new insight into animal menopause.
10. Why does Catherine mention the living situation of the Ngogo community?
A. To argue the finding is groundless. B. To point out a possible study limitation.
C. To prove the Ngogo chimps are ideal subjects. D. To stress the need to protect chimps from viruses.
11. How is the last paragraph developed?
A. By drawing a firm conclusion. B. By listing several research examples.
C. By comparing different animal behaviors. D. By analyzing a concept with supporting facts.
D
Many people have wondered why children believe in things like Santa Claus or the Tooth Fairy, thinking that children’s minds are easily fooled. However, developmental psychology offers a different perspective.
A study published in Developmental Psychology explores how children react to ideas that go against what they usually think and if they check these ideas against what they expect. This way of checking, known as the “empirical stance,” is evident by the time children reach elementary school.
The study involved nearly 200 children aged 3 to 8 from Chinese schools. Each child was presented with five differently-sized objects made from painted Russian dolls. The children naturally assumed that the smallest doll was the lightest and the largest the heaviest. When asked to identify the heaviest object, most children chose the largest one. An adult then either agreed with the children’s choice or made a claim that the smallest doll was the heaviest. The researchers observed whether the children would change their minds or test the adult’s claim by comparing the weights of the dolls.
Initially, children seemed to trust the adult’s word, with only a small percentage insisting on their original belief. However, when given the opportunity to explore the dolls, elementary school children who had received the surprising claim systematically tested it by comparing the smallest and largest dolls. This exploration allowed them to generate evidence that could contradict the adult’s claim.
These findings suggest that while children are willing to trust an adult’s surprising claims, their acceptance is temporary. By elementary school, they systematically test such claims by seeking new evidence, which they then use to update their beliefs.
The study’s implications extend beyond childhood. Most adults accept complex concepts, such as the existence of electrons, based on the testimony (证词) of others rather than personal experience.
So while children may learn about the magic of Santa Claus from adults, adults might similarly have something to learn from elementary school children: most of us would do well to adopt an empirical stance more often than we currently do.
12. What is paragraph 3 mainly about?
A. The conclusion of the study. B. The methodology of the study.
C. The significance of the study. D. The theoretical basis of the study.
13. Which child’s response matches the empirical stance?
A. Taylor believes whatever the teacher says.
B. Jordan trusts her own feelings about the topic.
C. Emma thinks the watermelon sweet and tastes it.
D. Maya suspects what the story says about monsters.
14. What lesson could adults learn from children?
A. Rejecting complex concepts. B. Never trusting anyone.
C. Counting on others’ testimony. D. Learning from their own experience.
15. What is the main purpose of the text?
A. To advocate an evidence-based approach across all ages.
B. To persuade adults to correct children’s wrong worldview.
C. To highlight adults’ role in children’s education and growth.
D. To introduce a new method for testing children’s beliefs.

Have you ever seen a duck gracefully floating on a pond? While it appears peaceful above the water, its feet are paddling fast to stay afloat underneath. This contrast illustrates “floating duck syndrome”, a term that describes the tendency for people to mask their internal stress and struggles behind an appearance of outward success and calm.
____16____ Just like ducks, they attempt to present an image of accomplishment while struggling with internal stress. Underneath the calm appearance, there is anxiety, self-doubt, and the persistent pursuit of achievement. This is a struggle hidden from casual observation but keenly felt by those who experience it firsthand.
Modern life demands the constant need to hand responsibilities across school, work, family, and leisure. Therefore, individuals try to be outstanding in multiple areas while covering up their struggles, leading to their hard work and suffering going unnoticed. ____17____. Through this disconnection between perception and reality, the pressure to appear effortlessly successful becomes obvious. When we underestimate the challenges of success, we find ourselves stretched thin across a large number of tasks. ____18____ Although this strategy might have short-term successes, it ultimately leaves us with many unmet expectations.
Floating duck syndrome can have concerning impacts on our well-being and connectedness. ____19____. This internalization of struggle not only adds weight to our burdens but also separates us from potential sources of support. We may cheat ourselves into believing that we must deal with our challenges alone, without needing help from others. This only makes it harder to cope effectively and denies us the opportunity to connect genuinely with others.
The idea of easy success hides a deeper truth. ____20____ By accepting our weakness and acknowledging these efforts, we promote a culture of openness and care — one where seeking help is not viewed as a sign of weakness, but rather as a courageous step forward.
A. It is like jugglers (杂技演员) trying to keep several balls in the air at once.
B. To keep a capable appearance, we may hide the stress from public view.
C. True achievements often require us to accept the hard work behind them.
D. So we usually mistakenly believe that achievements come easily to others.
E. These findings highlight our tendency to cover up visible signs of struggle.
F. Floating duck syndrome is particularly common among high-achieving people.
G. We may feel pressured to present an outward image of competence and strength.

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Last March, Margarito drove to visit his mother who lived in the countryside. When he set off for home, Margarito’s mother looked at the dark sky and noticed the sign of a coming storm. Worried about her son's safety, she told him to drive as carefully as possible on his way home and he promised to give her a call upon his arrival.
With his mother's words in mind, Margrito approached the main road carefully. Soon, it started to rain heavily. Eager to get home, Margarito began to drive faster. Two hours later, he came to a bumpy mountain road that had been flooded by a creek(小溪).Margarito, driving a four-wheel truck, figured that he would be OK. At that moment, he didn't realize that such a thought would be a big mistake.
It was halfway across the creek that an unfortunate incident took place: The rushing waters grabbed hold of his vehicle, pushing it off the road and sending it down a rocky creek bed. The truck finally stopped some 80 feet away. Margarito’s problems only grew from there as the water had somehow positioned the truck into the creek bank at a 45-degree angle, making it difficult for him to open the driver's side door. Injured and trapped inside with the muddy water rising quickly, Margarito was certain he was going to die. Shaking with fear, he was at a loss about what to do.
On the road right behind Margarito were a delivery worker named Steve and his nephew Mike, who were on the way to deliver furniture to customers in the countryside. They witnessed the horrible incident, and when Margarito's truck came to rest in the middle of the overflowing creek, Steve quickly began to take action. First, he grabbed a rope from the back of his vehicle and used it to ensure he could safely approach the truck.
注意:
1.所续词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Next, Steve turned to Mike and yelled," Give me a rock!”
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Margarito was about to thank Steve and Mike when the mobile phone in his jacket pocket rang.

And because the Ngogo community is found in the heart of the park, its only neighbors are other chimps — not humans who can expose chimpanzees to viruses that have devastated other communities. “The Ngogo population may be an outlier (特殊群体) when it comes to the rest of the species,” she cautions.
And there is a question concerning “the grandmother effect”, according to which a grandmother has a decidedly beneficial effect on her children and grandchildren. Chimpanzees do not form long-term pair-bonds and females leave in search of new communities when they reach maturity, which means grandmother chimpanzees likely don’t know who their grandchildren are in the same way humans or even orcas do. What they do after menopause remains a question of interest. “And that’s all future work to be done,” said Catherine.
8. What can be learned about menopause?
A. It is rare among animals. B. It is unique to human beings.
C. It is limited to the age of 50. D. It is linked to living environments.
9. What does the underlined part in paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. Scientists have solved the menopause puzzle.
B. Ngogo females’ condition remains a mystery.
C. Chimpanzee menopause is still in question.
D. The finding offers new insight into animal menopause.
10. Why does Catherine mention the living situation of the Ngogo community?
A. To argue the finding is groundless. B. To point out a possible study limitation.
C. To prove the Ngogo chimps are ideal subjects. D. To stress the need to protect chimps from viruses.
11. How is the last paragraph developed?
A. By drawing a firm conclusion. B. By listing several research examples.
C. By comparing different animal behaviors. D. By analyzing a concept with supporting facts.
【答案】8. A 9. D 10. B 11. D
【解析】
【导语】主要说明了一项21年的研究发现乌干达部分野生雌黑猩猩也有更年期。但该种群生存环境优越属于特例,且黑猩猩不满足祖母效应,相关问题仍有待后续研究。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段的“You can count species other than humans known to experience and outlive menopause on one hand.(你可以说,除人类之外,已知会经历更年期且活过更年期的物种用一只手就能数过来)”可知,更年期在动物中很罕见。
【9题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第二段的“Studying urine from 66 Ngogo females, aged 14 to 67, showed that their hormone levels changed after approaching 50, confirming they were in menopause. Interestingly, 50 is also the age when many people begin to experience menopause.(对66只年龄在14至67岁之间的Ngogo雌性黑猩猩的尿液进行研究发现,它们在接近50岁时激素水平发生变化,证实了它们已进入更年期。有趣的是,50岁也是许多人开始经历更年期的年龄)”可知,这项里程碑研究证实黑猩猩种群也存在更年期。故划线词意思是“这一发现为动物更年期提供了新的见解”。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段““The Ngogo population may be an outlier (特殊群体) when it comes to the rest of the species,” she cautions.(“就黑猩猩物种的其余种群而言,Ngogo种群可能是个特例,”她提醒道)”可知,凯瑟琳提到Ngogo社区的生活状况是为了指出一项可能的研究局限性。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“And there is a question concerning “the grandmother effect”, according to which a grandmother has a decidedly beneficial effect on her children and grandchildren. Chimpanzees do not form long-term pair-bonds and females leave in search of new communities when they reach maturity, which means grandmother chimpanzees likely don’t know who their grandchildren are in the same way humans or even orcas do. What they do after menopause remains a question of interest. “And that’s all future work to be done,” said Catherine.(还有一个关于“祖母效应”的问题,即祖母对子女和孙辈有着明显积极的影响。黑猩猩不会建立长期的伴侣关系,雌性在成年后会离开寻找新的群体,这意味着黑猩猩的祖母很可能不像人类甚至虎鲸那样清楚自己孙辈的身份。而她们在更年期之后的行为仍是一个值得研究的问题。“这是未来需要完成的工作,”凯瑟琳说)”可知,最后一段通过分析一个概念并辅以相关论据展开。
D
Many people have wondered why children believe in things like Santa Claus or the Tooth Fairy, thinking that children’s minds are easily fooled. However, developmental psychology offers a different perspective.
A study published in Developmental Psychology explores how children react to ideas that go against what they usually think and if they check these ideas against what they expect. This way of checking, known as the “empirical stance,” is evident by the time children reach elementary school.
The study involved nearly 200 children aged 3 to 8 from Chinese schools. Each child was presented with five differently-sized objects made from painted Russian dolls. The children naturally assumed that the smallest doll was the lightest and the largest the heaviest. When asked to identify the heaviest object, most children chose the largest one. An adult then either agreed with the children’s choice or made a claim that the smallest doll was the heaviest. The researchers observed whether the children would change their minds or test the adult’s claim by comparing the weights of the dolls.
Initially, children seemed to trust the adult’s word, with only a small percentage insisting on their original belief. However, when given the opportunity to explore the dolls, elementary school children who had received the surprising claim systematically tested it by comparing the smallest and largest dolls. This exploration allowed them to generate evidence that could contradict the adult’s claim.
These findings suggest that while children are willing to trust an adult’s surprising claims, their acceptance is temporary. By elementary school, they systematically test such claims by seeking new evidence, which they then use to update their beliefs.
The study’s implications extend beyond childhood. Most adults accept complex concepts, such as the existence of electrons, based on the testimony (证词) of others rather than personal experience.
So while children may learn about the magic of Santa Claus from adults, adults might similarly have something to learn from elementary school children: most of us would do well to adopt an empirical stance more often than we currently do.
12. What is paragraph 3 mainly about?
A. The conclusion of the study. B. The methodology of the study.
C. The significance of the study. D. The theoretical basis of the study.
13. Which child’s response matches the empirical stance?
A. Taylor believes whatever the teacher says.
B. Jordan trusts her own feelings about the topic.
C. Emma thinks the watermelon sweet and tastes it.
D. Maya suspects what the story says about monsters.
14. What lesson could adults learn from children?
A. Rejecting complex concepts. B. Never trusting anyone.
C. Counting on others’ testimony. D. Learning from their own experience.
15. What is the main purpose of the text?
A. To advocate an evidence-based approach across all ages.
B. To persuade adults to correct children’s wrong worldview.
C. To highlight adults’ role in children’s education and growth.
D. To introduce a new method for testing children’s beliefs.
【答案】12. B 13. C 14. D 15. A
【解析】
【导语】万丈主要介绍了一项研究探讨了儿童如何应对违背常识的说法。实验中,孩子们被要求判断不同大小的玩偶哪个最重。结果显示,尽管儿童最初相信成人的说法,但小学阶段的孩子会通过实验验证这些说法,从而更新自己的认知。这表明儿童在面对新信息时具备经验主义倾向。
【12题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第三段“The study involved nearly 200 children aged 3 to 8 from Chinese schools. Each child was presented with five differently-sized objects made from painted Russian dolls. The children naturally assumed that the smallest doll was the lightest and the largest the heaviest. When asked to identify the heaviest object, most children chose the largest one. An adult then either agreed with the children’s choice or made a claim that the smallest doll was the heaviest. The researchers observed whether the children would change their minds or test the adult’s claim by comparing the weights of the dolls.(这项研究涉及近200名3至8岁的中国学校儿童。研究人员向每个孩子展示了五个不同大小的、由彩绘俄罗斯娃娃制成的物体。孩子们自然地认为,最小的娃娃最轻,最大的最重。当被要求识别最重的物体时,大多数孩子选择了最大的那个。随后,一位成年人要么同意孩子的选择,要么声称最小的娃娃是最重的。研究人员观察这些孩子是否会改变主意,或通过比较娃娃的重量来验证成年人的说法)”可知,第三段主要描述了研究的具体方法,包括研究对象、实验设计和过程。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“A study published in Developmental Psychology explores how children react to ideas that go against what they usually think and if they check these ideas against what they expect. This way of checking, known as the “empirical stance,” is evident by the time children reach elementary school.(发表在《发展心理学》上的一项研究探讨了儿童对与他们通常想法相悖的观点的反应,以及他们是否会将这些观点与自己的预期进行对照。这种被称为“实证立场 的检验方式,在儿童上小学时就已经显现)”可知,“实证立场”指的是验证与自己相反相悖的观点的行为。C项“Emma假设西瓜是甜的,然后品尝验证”符合“实证立场”。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第三段“By elementary school, they systematically test such claims by seeking new evidence, which they then use to update their beliefs.(到了小学阶段,他们会通过寻找新的证据来系统地检验这些说法,并用这些证据来更新自己的信念)”最后一段“So while children may learn about the magic of Santa Claus from adults, adults might similarly have something to learn from elementary school children: most of us would do well to adopt an empirical stance more often than we currently do.(因此,虽然孩子可能从成年人那里了解到圣诞老人的奇妙故事,但成年人同样也可以向小学生学到一些东西:我们大多数人如果能比现在更频繁地采取实证立场,将会受益匪浅)”可知,成年人可以从孩子身上学到从自身经验中学习的道理。

Have you ever seen a duck gracefully floating on a pond? While it appears peaceful above the water, its feet are paddling fast to stay afloat underneath. This contrast illustrates “floating duck syndrome”, a term that describes the tendency for people to mask their internal stress and struggles behind an appearance of outward success and calm.
____16____ Just like ducks, they attempt to present an image of accomplishment while struggling with internal stress. Underneath the calm appearance, there is anxiety, self-doubt, and the persistent pursuit of achievement. This is a struggle hidden from casual observation but keenly felt by those who experience it firsthand.
Modern life demands the constant need to hand responsibilities across school, work, family, and leisure. Therefore, individuals try to be outstanding in multiple areas while covering up their struggles, leading to their hard work and suffering going unnoticed. ____17____. Through this disconnection between perception and reality, the pressure to appear effortlessly successful becomes obvious. When we underestimate the challenges of success, we find ourselves stretched thin across a large number of tasks. ____18____ Although this strategy might have short-term successes, it ultimately leaves us with many unmet expectations.
Floating duck syndrome can have concerning impacts on our well-being and connectedness. ____19____. This internalization of struggle not only adds weight to our burdens but also separates us from potential sources of support. We may cheat ourselves into believing that we must deal with our challenges alone, without needing help from others. This only makes it harder to cope effectively and denies us the opportunity to connect genuinely with others.
The idea of easy success hides a deeper truth. ____20____ By accepting our weakness and acknowledging these efforts, we promote a culture of openness and care — one where seeking help is not viewed as a sign of weakness, but rather as a courageous step forward.
A. It is like jugglers (杂技演员) trying to keep several balls in the air at once.
B. To keep a capable appearance, we may hide the stress from public view.
C. True achievements often require us to accept the hard work behind them.
D. So we usually mistakenly believe that achievements come easily to others.
E. These findings highlight our tendency to cover up visible signs of struggle.
F. Floating duck syndrome is particularly common among high-achieving people.
G. We may feel pressured to present an outward image of competence and strength.

【19题详解】
根据上文“Floating duck syndrome can have concerning impacts on our well-being and connectedness.(浮鸭综合征会对我们的身心健康和人际关系产生不良影响。)”以及后文“This internalization of struggle not only adds weight to our burdens but also separates us from potential sources of support.(这种独自扛下困境的做法不仅加重我们的负担,还让我们远离潜在的帮助来源。)”可知,空格处说明具体影响且成绩下文。B项“To keep a capable appearance, we may hide the stress from public view.(为了维持能干的形象,我们可能会把压力藏起来,不让别人看见。)”符合语境。
【20题详解】
根据上文“The idea of easy success hides a deeper truth.(轻松成功这种想法掩盖了一个更深层的事实。)”以及后文“By accepting our weakness and acknowledging these efforts, we promote a culture of openness and care — one where seeking help is not viewed as a sign of weakness, but rather as a courageous step forward.(接纳自身弱点、认可这些付出,我们就能营造开放包容的氛围,求助不再被视作软弱,而是勇敢的一步。)”可知,空格处点明获得真正成就的因素。C项“True achievements often require us to accept the hard work behind them.(真正的成就往往需要我们接纳其背后的辛苦付出。)”符合语境,承上启下。

【答案】Dear Mr. Smith,
I’m glad to hear about your new column for Senior 3 students. Of the two topics you offered, I strongly support Topic A: Effective Study Methods.
The reason why I prefer this topic is that most students are struggling with tight schedules and endless exams. Practical study techniques, such as how to manage time wisely, take efficient notes, or review strategically, are of great help to us. Not only can these methods boost our grades, but they can also reduce anxiety by making us feel more organized and confident. Additionally, once we master good study habits, stress will naturally decrease. So I believe Topic A can benefit a wider range of students.
Looking forward to your column!
Yours,
Li Hua

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Last March, Margarito drove to visit his mother who lived in the countryside. When he set off for home, Margarito’s mother looked at the dark sky and noticed the sign of a coming storm. Worried about her son's safety, she told him to drive as carefully as possible on his way home and he promised to give her a call upon his arrival.
With his mother's words in mind, Margrito approached the main road carefully. Soon, it started to rain heavily. Eager to get home, Margarito began to drive faster. Two hours later, he came to a bumpy mountain road that had been flooded by a creek(小溪).Margarito, driving a four-wheel truck, figured that he would be OK. At that moment, he didn't realize that such a thought would be a big mistake.
It was halfway across the creek that an unfortunate incident took place: The rushing waters grabbed hold of his vehicle, pushing it off the road and sending it down a rocky creek bed. The truck finally stopped some 80 feet away. Margarito’s problems only grew from there as the water had somehow positioned the truck into the creek bank at a 45-degree angle, making it difficult for him to open the driver's side door. Injured and trapped inside with the muddy water rising quickly, Margarito was certain he was going to die. Shaking with fear, he was at a loss about what to do.
On the road right behind Margarito were a delivery worker named Steve and his nephew Mike, who were on the way to deliver furniture to customers in the countryside. They witnessed the horrible incident, and when Margarito's truck came to rest in the middle of the overflowing creek, Steve quickly began to take action. First, he grabbed a rope from the back of his vehicle and used it to ensure he could safely approach the truck.

【答案】范文
Next, he turned to Mike and yelled, “Give me a rock!” With the rock in hand, he hit the window over and over , but in vain. He didn’t give up easily; instead, he balanced himself, leaned back and threw the rock at the window again with all his strength. Fortunately, this time he made it — the glass broke. To his relief, it didn’t hurt Margarito, who reached out for Steve’s hand and was rescued. Without delay, the two men escaped and returned to safety.
Margarito was about to thank Steve and Mike when the mobile phone in his jacket pocket rang. With trembling hands, Margarito took out the phone and answered it. “Are you home yet? Everything’s good?” His mother’s anxious voice came over. Tears welled up in his eyes on hearing the familiar voice of concern. Margarito choked up as he explained what had happened. Hanging up the phone, he thanked Steve and Mike sincerely. Cold as the rain was, great warmth filled his heart like never before.
