It was a very hot afternoon. My friend Leah and I were waiting for the rush hour train. We were tired and couldn’t wait to get back to the place where we were living.

When the train arrived, we got into the second carriage from the front. The air-conditioning wasn’t working at the rear (后部), so the front was particularly crowded that day. I sat by the window admiring the changing landscape.

Suddenly we felt enormous pressure pushing us backwards into our seats. The windows broke into tiny pieces and dust flew around violently. I could barely open my eyes.

The train was suffering from a crash, and it didn’t feel as if it were going to stop. I thought I would be dead. I thought about my husband Guy, who was supposed to receive the news first. I thought of my dear father and other family members, wondering how each would deal with my death.

Voices began to break through my thoughts. People were anxious. Strangely, I was totally calm. I wasn’t panicking; my heart wasn’t even beating fast. When the train finally stopped, we slowly stood up, pushing off the table that had fallen onto us; others stayed in their seats and many were injured and covered in blood. I could hear screaming. A soldier pushed the damaged door open for us to escape.

Our carriage had run out of rails and we were halfway home. We had a lot of blood on us and I searched my body for wounds, but I didn’t find any. My knees felt painful and my hips were black and blue, and Leah had her hand cut when jumping off the train, but that wasn’t serious.

Helicopters landed and we saw soldiers running in and out. All around us were ambulances (救护车) and people lying on the ground. Everyone was shouting for help. I rang Guy, who was very calm and said he would come and get us. Seeing all these brought me great emotional hurt.

Paragraph 1:
It was almost dark by the time we found Guy and he drove us home.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
In the days that followed, I convinced myself I had internal bleeding.

4 . 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—through the boot(行李箱).

Mr. Johnson’s car had finished up in a ditch(沟渠) 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.

Later he said, “It was really a half penny that saved my life. It was the only coin I had in my 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 sweet 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. Finally 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 up.”

His hands and arms cut and bruised(擦伤), Mr. Johnson got to Beckett Farm nearby, where he 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 vehicle had sunk into two feet of mud at the bottom of the ditch.

5 . The sound that woke Damian Languell at 8:15 in the morning was so loud he assumed it came from inside his house in Wade, Maine. As he got up to investigate, he heard another sound, this one coming most definitely from outside. Looking out of his bedroom window, he noticed a tree enveloped in smoke about 500 yards away. A car wrapped around the tree's base, its engine on fire.

Grabbing buckets of water, he and his wife ran to the crash site. Up close, the accident looked worse. The car was split nearly in two, and the tree was where the driver's seat ought to have been, as if planted there. No one should have survived this crash, and yet there was 20- year-old Quintin Thompson, his terrified face pressed against the driver's side window, in visible pain.

Languell tried putting out the fire with his buckets of water but failed. When the flames got into the front seats, he knew he had to get the young man out. So Languell opened the car's back door and climbed in. Using a pocket knife he'd brought with him, he cut through Thompson's seat belt. Now that Thompson was free, Languell pulled him out, and dragged him to safety before the entire car was in flames.

It is empathy that drove Languell to help, just as he said, "My heart goes out to Thompson. When you are that close to that level of hurt, you feel it so directly." For his heroic action, Languell was added to the list of real-life heroes changing the world.

8 . A disastrous fire surrounded Notre Dame（巴黎圣母院）completely and destroyed large parts of the Gothic(哥特式的) architecture on Monday.

“Notre Dame is our history, our literature; part of our spirit, the place of all our great events, our wars, our liberations, the center of our lives" French President Emmanuel Macron told reporters in front of the still burning Paris landmark and promised to rebuild Notre Dame Cathedral.

“Notre Dame is burning, and know the sadness and this tremble felt by so many fellow French people. But tonight, I’d like to speak of hope too, "he said, announcing the launch of a fundraising campaign.

“Let’s be proud, because we built this cathedral more than 800 years ago, we’ve built it and, throughout the centuries, let it grow and improve it. So I gravely say tonight: we will rebuild it together, ”he added.

10 . Four speed cameras costing thousands of pounds have been put up along a busy beach to reduce the number of fights between cyclists and pedestrians.

The signs set the speed limit of 10mph to warn offending riders and delivery drivers if they are going too fast. The four digital devices cost £3,000 each and have been placed along the seven-mile road by the sea at Bournemouth, Dorset.

Three of them have been paid for by the local council while the fourth has been funded by beach hut owners fed up with cyclists "flying" past their cabins.

Cyclists have accused the council of being "anti-cycling" and of "hurting" those on two wheels, but other beachgoers say speeding bikes have become a danger. Last year a 72-year-old grandmother was left badly hurt by a cyclist doing 20mph. Two months later a boy of five was left with cuts and bruises after being hit by a cyclist going too fast.

The new signs are on top of existing signage informing cyclists of the 10mph speed limit and the fact pedestrians have the right of way. Cycling is also completely banned on the path beside the sea from 10 am to 6 pm during July and August, when Bournemouth beach can attract 100,000 visitors a day.

Nicole Nagel, who founded Bournemouth Cycling Without Age, told MailOnline: "The council is total anti-cycling. I’m from Germany where a lot is done for cyclist but I’ve lived here 20 years and it’s very dangerous for cyclists. They could have used that money to build a proper cycle lane(车道) — especially for children, to cross the road safely on bikes, something to make it more appealing to use bikes, rather than putting speed cameras up."

1. Why did beach hut owners pay for speed cameras?

A．They were too far-sighted.

B．They got tired of flying cyclists.

C．They thought it was their duty.

D．They got injured by bikes frequently.

2. Why were two examples given in Para. 4?

A．To show the necessity to take action.

B．To tell us the elderly should take care.

C．To compare who was easy to be injured.

D．To blame flying cyclists for their doings.

3. What was Nicole Nagel’s attitude to the speed limit of 10mph?

A．Cautious.

B．Doubtful.

C．Favorable.

D．Opposed.

4. What is the main idea of the text?

A．Four speed cameras cost thousands of pounds.

B．Fixing speed cameras is badly needed along the beach.

C．People have different opinions about fixing speed cameras.

D．Speed cameras were fixed to slow riders along a busy beach.
