Thousands of people gathered in the streets around the cathedral, watching the flames in silence,some of    2    could be seen crying. Watching such a symbol of French culture burnt and its spire（尖项）destroyed is extremely    3    (shock) to any French person.

No other site represents France like Notre-Dame, which    4    (receive) almost 13 million visitors each year, more than the Eiffel Tower. The Eiffel Tower, is a little more than a century old    5    Notre-Dame has stood tall above Paris    6    1200s. It has given its name to one of the country’s literal    7    (masterpiece). Victor Hugo's The Hunchback of Notre-Dame（《钟楼怪人》）is known    8    me French simply as Notre-Dame de Paris（《巴黎圣母院》）．

The three large rose windows    9    (destroy) by the fire.    10    (fortunate),the main structure, including the two bell towers, has been saved. Also, the most valuable cultural relics have survived the fire. The last time the cathedral suffered major damage was during the French Revolution. It survived two world wars largely in good condition.

They were left with just their two-year-old dog Remy, their social security cards, one mobile phone and some dog food and clothes.

Tony, 26, is     5    (original) from Florida and worked in marketing for timeshares. He met Mary, 24, in her home town of Philadelphia, but told the newspaper they both got “tired"     6     the sales lifestyle.

In April 2017 they sold everything they had, including his SUV, and bought the 1969 boat they named “Lagniappe” – spending a lot of money to restore     7    . Up until that point, the couple had no sailing experience, so they spent the next months learning from Tony’s father. It was only this month     8     they decided they were ready and were given a grand send-off（送行）by friends at Tarpon Springs. Two days     9    (late), the boat sank. It remains in the water, and the coast guard has told the couple it could cost up to $10,000 to remove and store it.     10    , they only have $90.

8 . Any car accident is frightening, but an accident in which your vehicle is thrown into the water, with you trapped inside, is absolutely terrifying.     1    However, most deaths result from panic, without a plan or understanding what is happening to the car in the water. By adopting a brace(支撑) position, acting decisively and getting out fast, you can save yourself from a sinking vehicle.

Brace yourself for impact (撞击力). As soon as you're aware that you're going off the road and into a body of water, adopt a brace position. The impact could set off the airbag system in your vehicle, so you should place both hands on the steering wheel in the “ten and two” position.

Undo your seat belt.     2     Unfasten the children, starting with the oldest first. Forget the cell phone call. Your car isn’t going to wait for you to make the call.

    3     Leave the door alone at this stage and concentrate on the window. A car’s electrical system should work for up to three minutes in water, so try the method of opening it electronically first. Many people don’t think about the window as an escape option either because of panic or misinformation about doors and sinking.

Break the window. If you aren’t able to open the window, or it only opens halfway, you’ll need to break it with an object or your foot. It may feel counterintuitive (有悖常理的) to let water into the car.     4    

Escape when the car has equalized. If it has reached the dramatic stage where the car cabin has been filled with water and it has become balanced, you must move quickly and effectively to ensure your survival.     5     While there is still air in the car, take slow，deep breaths and focus on what you’re doing.

A．Open the window as soon as you hit the water.

B．Surviving a sinking car is not as difficult as you think.

C．It takes 60 to 120 seconds for a car to fill up with water usually.

D．Such accidents are particularly dangerous due to the risk of drowning.

E．In conclusion, if you know what to do in the water, you will be safe.

F．This is the first thing to attend to, yet it often gets forgotten in the panic.

G．But the sooner the window is open, the sooner you can escape directly through it.
