1 . I grew up in a small town and the main entertainment was Friday night high school football. It was just a sleepy little town where parents wanted to raise their children away from crime and danger of a big city, and where teenagers like me _______leaving to find something bigger and better.

All that _______one summer night. My friend Lisa, Kim and Tyler held a party for my eighteenth birthday at Lisa’s house. As they kept _______alcohol to me, I was pretty drunk. I asked Tyler to take me home. With some _______, we made it out to his car and drove home. News came next morning. Kim, my friend _______we were five years old, was killed in a car accident. That night after Tyler and I left, Kim, who was clearly more drunk than me, got into her car and _______towards the highway to go home. She was driving on the wrong side of the road and never saw the truck coming. The driver didn’t see her _______to avoid the car. They hit head on. Kim died immediately, and the driver was thrown _______the truck windshield (挡风玻璃) and died a week later.

Whenever I look back on that day, I can’t help thinking that it was my _______to drink so much that night, otherwise things would be different. I know Kim made the choice to drink and drive that night, but a part of me will always feel ________for what happened.

I may not change the world with my story, but I do hope that I can make people ________the responsibility that they have to themselves and others by ________it. Don’t ever think that your choices are yours ________. Every choice is like a stone dropped into ________water—each ripple (波纹) represents someone who your choice ________.

2 . Last year in a cross-country race in Sanqing Mountain, Gentian left everybody far behind, but unexpectedly he felt a sharp pain and saw that there were teeth marks and blood on his calf (腿肚子).    1    But he didn't know that it was a poisonous snake called ''five-step snake'' in Chinese that bit him.

Deep in the mountain, with no phone, Gentian kept running with the injury on his leg for 15 minutes and finally met a local farmer.    2    He happened to know about herbs and medicine. Immediately, he used some herbal medicine to deal with it. Later, the organizing committee's ambulance rushed to take him to the local hospital.

What should you do if you encounter a snake while outside? Remember: first of all, do not excite it. Data show that people who excite snakes are easily bitten.    3    Second, avoid the places where snakes like to stay. Snakes like to bathe in the sun during the day, and usually stay on gravel and cliff edges. Third, if you happen to see a snake crossing through the road, you must stop and wait for it to pass.

    4    First, sit down and try to avoid the acceleration of blood circulation. Then tie the limb 10-30cm above the wound with a strong rope, and curitopenabout1cm above the wound. The cut should be 1-2cm wide, and squeeze blood from top to bottom. Generally, snakebites occur at the ankle.     5     Also, make sure to call the ambulance ASAP.

A．He sensed that his situation was not good.

B．Then what to do if you're bitten by a snake?

C．So staying still can prevent you from meeting a snake.

D．He thought his high end shoes could protect against the snake.

E．However, those who run immediately are less likely to be bitten.

F．In this case bending the knee to reduce blood flow can be helpful.

G．Despite the language barrier, he understood what had happened.

9 . An abandoned car in Chicago worth about $600 has been issued more than $100, 000 in parking tickets (罚单) over the past three years. Now Jennifer Fitzgerald, 31, is stuck with the bill but says the 1999 Chevy Monte Carlo actually belongs to an ex-boyfriend who registered   (登记注册) the car in her name without informing her.

The Expired Meter ( 停车计时器) reports that from May 23, 2009 to April 30, 2012, the Chicago Department of Finance (DOF) issued 678 tickets against the car, totaling $105, 761.80. It set a Chicago record both for the total number and amount of parking fines issued. In fact, it blew past the previous record holder, which was $65,000 from about 400 tickets.

But Fitzgerald says she doesn’t owe the city a dime (10 分硬币) and has filed a lawsuit (诉讼 ) in Cook County Circuit Court against the city of Chicago, United Airlines and the ex-boyfriend. Fitzgerald has two main arguments in her case. First, she says her ex-boyfriend, Brandon Preveau, is the actual owner of the car, having bought it from her uncle for $600 in 2008. In fact, Brandon paid for the car’s title (所有权), registration and insurance, but it was registered in Fitzgerald’s name. “Brandon used his 2007 income tax refund ( 退 款 ) to pay Patrick $600 for the car,” reads Fitzgerald’s complaint. “For reasons not recalled by Patrick, however, Patrick signed the title to the car over to Fitzgerald.”

Second, Fitzgerald’s lawyer is arguing that the city should have simply towed (拖走) the car after 30 days from O’Hare Airport, where it was parked and where Brandon worked at the time. According to Fitzgerald’s complaint, on or before November 17, 2009, Brandon drove the car into the parking lot and never drove it out again. And as the Expired Meter reports, Chicago law does state exactly that an abandoned vehicle is to be towed 30 days after being illegally parked.

1. After the Chicago Department of Finance noticed the car, it _______.

A．wanted to break a record

B．tried its best to find its owner

C．kept issuing tickets against the car

D．decided to play a joke on its owner

2. From Paragraph 3, we know that Jennifer Fitzgerald _______.

A．sold the car to her ex-boyfriend long ago

B．received the car from her ex-boyfriend

C．didn’t know anything about the car

D．wasn’t the real owner of the car

3. Jennifer Fitzgerald filed a lawsuit against the city of Chicago because the city _______.

A．didn’t inform her as soon as it found the missing car

B．didn’t tow the vehicle after 30 days from O’Hare Airport

C．didn’t state exactly that an abandoned vehicle was to be towed

D．didn’t help her find the car when it was missing in the beginning

4. After reading the passage we learn that Jennifer Fitzgerald _______.

A．doesn’t want to pay any money

B．thinks Patrick should pay the fines

C．isn’t trying to find her ex-boyfriend

D．has never been to O’Hare Airport
