Without Hesitation

On a bright Friday afternoon in spring, Sumeja Tulic had every reason to enjoy walking the streets of New York, a city she     1    （move) to nine months earlier from London to attend journalism school. “When the weather is good, it’s very hard to find a reason     2     (be) dissatisfied with the city “ she said.

At the City Hall station, she settled onto a bench. It was just after 2 p.m. Only a few people were at the station . A man leaned against a pillar （柱）, the way anyone might,     3    （wait) for the train. The stillness was interrupted by an announcement that the next train was two stations away. Then Tulic saw the man at the pillar collapsing forward onto the tracks.

The man who had fallen was not moving. Two more men jumped down to help.

“I don’t know     4     these men got the quickness,” Tulic said. “The man fell was about six foot tall. He was kind of     5     (jam) in the tracks. It was frightening to know that the train was coming.”

On the tracks, the unconscious man was held up to a sitting position by the three men, who then lifted him from below to others who pulled him from above and rolled him onto the platform. Then the rescuers     6     (rescue) by helping hands.     7     they were all clear, the train pulled in. “People getting off the train walked around this unconscious man,” Peterson said. He was not, however, alone. Two of the men     8     had jumped onto the platform were holding his hands. “They were saying, ‘Buddy, you’re going to be fine,’” Tulic said. “This was an additional layer of goodness.”

The ambulance arrived, and the man was taken to a local hospital     9     serious but non-life-threatening injuries, officials said.

“That is the     10     (great) thing,” Tulic said. “The infrastructure （基础建设） in this city of millions is the people themselves providing, being there for others. Without even knowing the person, who he is. It was beautiful to see.”

7 . 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.

The disastrous fire engulfed(吞没) the upper reaches of Paris’ towering Notre Dame Cathedral as it was undergoing renovations(翻新)。

Tourists and Parisians looked on horrified from the streets below. France’s Interior Ministry said firefighters might not be able to save the structure.

The fire collapsed the cathedrals’ spire(尖顶) and spread to one of its landmark towers "Everything is burning; nothing will remain from the frame, "Notre Dame spokesman Andre Finot told French media. The 12th-century cathedral is home to incalculable works of art and is one of the world’s most famous tourist attractions, immortalized by Victor Hugo’s 1831 novel The Hunchback of Notre Dame.

The cause of the fire was not known, but French media quoted the Paris fire brigade(消防队) as saying the fire is “potentially linked" to a 6 million—euro($6. 88 million)renovation project on the church’s spire and its 250 tons of lead. Officials opened an investigation as Paris police said there were no reported deaths. Some 400 firefighters were battling the fire well into the night.

8 . 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1 个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

One night,     1     winter, a bear came into the city in Vancouver Canada. It walked through the city streets past houses, shops and offices. Then it     2     (find) some food in bins outside a restaurant and started eating. In the morning, someone saw the bear and called the police. The police came with a vet (兽医) from the city zoo. They put the bear in a lorry and took it to the mountains outside the city.     3     (lucky), the bear was safe. But     4     happens in other countries when big animals come into cities? In Vancouver it is unusual     5     (see) a bear, but in some cities you can see big animals on the city streets every day.

Big animals usually come into cities to find food. In Cape Town in South Africa baboons (狒狒) come into the city when they are     6     (hunger). Human food is very bad for the baboons     7     (tooth) because it has a lot of sugar. Now, there are Baboon Monitors working in Cape Town.     8     (they) job is to find baboons in the city and return them to the countryside.

In Berlin in Germany, pigs sometimes come into the city for food. They eat flowers and plants in parks and gardens. Sometimes they eat vegetables from gardens     9     they walk in the street, causing accidents. Some people like the pigs and they give them food and water to drink. Other people do not like the pigs and they want the government and the police to stop them     10     (enter) the city.

9 . If you’ve made a routine of a daily walk, congratulations! You’re getting many benefits of a walk. But there’s one simple mistake that could be putting your life at risk. Almost 129,000 pedestrians were injured, and 5,376 were killed in traffic crashes in the United States in 2015, according to the Center for Disease Control (CDC).     1    .

Luckily, there are some steps you can take to stay safe on foot. Sure, you drive on the right side of the road in the US, but that’s not where you should be as a pedestrian.    2    . Walking on a sidewalk can 100% guarantee your safety. But if you have to stay on the road, the CDC recommends walking toward traffic.

Seems like it couldn’t make much difference.     3    . Simply walking against traffic instead of with it cut the risk of getting hit by a car by an average of 77%, according to the findings.

    4    . Well, if you walk the same direction you’d drive, the cars closest to you are coming from behind. That means you’d need to rely on the driver to see you and react if it’s coming up too closely. If the person behind the wheel is not absorbed, you could end up injured—or worse.

On the other hand, when you’re walking against traffic, you can see the cars heading toward you. Facing those vehicles lets you see danger coming and get out of the way if necessary, and you aren’t putting your life in the hands of every driver who passes.    5    . Or skip the busy streets entirely and learn to “mall walk” in the long corridors of shopping malls.

A．If there’s a sidewalk available, you should always use it

B．Where it is convenient and clear, make sure to take the route

C．Next time you go for a walk or run, face the traffic and keep watchful

D．You may be taken aback by such a big difference between the choices

E．Look backwards and forwards all the time when you walk along the traffic

F．This means one crash-related pedestrian death every 1.6 hours

G．But a study of car accidents between 2006 and 2010 would argue otherwise

Last Friday, I rode on my bike home. At a crossing, I accidentally knock an old man off his bike. I hurried over and found his leg was injured. Nervous and worrying, I called my mom and told her that had happened. We took the old man to the hospital at once. The doctor gave him careful examination. To our delight, there was nothing serious wrong with him.

Then, we went back to where the bike was parked. For our disappointment, the bike didn’t work. I immediately got it fixed. The old man got on my bike and we waved goodbye to each other.

The accidents made me realize that we should be careful to avoid get into accidents, but once they occur, we should take responsibility.
