It was an ordinary day for Shawn Turner and his kids as they were driving home along Military Trail on the morning of February 23. However, all this was about to change when his 9 -year -old son Timmy suddenly yelled from the backseat. He alerted him that there was a car floating in the canal they were passing by.
Shawn immediately pulled off onto the shoulder near the Boca Raton canal. The 33 - year-old dad rushed out of his vehicle and saw a woman behind the wheel in the sinking car. Knowing that there was no time to waste, Shawn quickly took off his sweatpants and jumped into the water.
He swam up to the window and confirmed that the woman, later identified as Molly Pedrone, was unconscious. She was still buckled (弯曲) in as her white Kia Soul filled with water. A woman also jumped in to assist with the rescue.
He shot his hand through the cracked window to roll it all the way down and launched his body halfway across the front seat. Shawn struggled to unbuckle Molly’s seatbelt. Just then, a man later identified as Adam Gunn dived into the water and quickly swam towards the driver’s side window.
By then, the car was close to being fully submerged. Shawn climbed inside to free Molly. Shawn lifted Molly out of her seat so that Adam could pull her through the driver’s side window. Because of his weight, the car started sinking faster. His 14-year-old son, who was filming the rescue, yelled in panic,“Dad, jump out! Get out! ”
Just as the car’s entire front was underwater, Shawn’s head emerged from the surface. He, the woman, and Adam carried Molly to the shore. As they were bringing her to the bank, Molly opened her eyes, looking confused.
“I told her to relax, that she was in an accident and that her car went into the water,”
Shawn said.
However, Molly had no recollection of the whole rescue, it was when she got in the hospital that she understood everything that had happened.
The attack rendered her unconscious, and that’s when her car came crashing into the canal.________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Molly and Shawn met on Tuesday, and she says she couldn’t thank him enough and everyone involved in for what they did for her. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

If you look around the streets of London, you’ll see the many methods people use to move around. 1. Now there’s a new addition: electric, or e-scooters (滑板车).
This traditional children’s vehicle has become more complicated over the years. And now, with the addition of a small electric motor, it’s become a cheap and easy mode of transport. Scooting around town can be fun and doesn’t involve much effort. 2. But considering accidents involving an electric scooter in the UK, questions are being asked about their safety and whether traffic laws should be changed.
Many e -scooter riders in the UK broke the law. Some have been seen on pavements, others on the road jumping red traffic lights, adding to the frustration of motorists stuck in jams. In the UK, the law states that riding one on the public highway or pavement is forbidden. But, despite this, it seems the increasing popularity of e-scooters means they can be seen everywhere. 3.
The UK government is looking at how safely they can be used on the road and is ‘reviewing’ the law. But its transport minister, Michael Ellis, has told the BBC that: “Micromobility products are appearing in countries across the globe and are an exciting innovation for which we know there is demand. 4. ”
5. Despite the fact that some of them can exceed 30mph, they sometimes only have one brake and no lights. However confident the rider may be, larger vehicles on the road make them unprotected. So it seems more work needs to be done to give e -scooters a safe and legal space to travel in.
A.The roads are already crowded.
B.We are mainly after economic benefits.
C.People seldom see e-scooter accidents in the UK.
D.However, safety must always be our top priority.
E.And now users are calling on regulations to be changed.
F.There’s no doubt there are dangers in riding a two-wheeled scooter.
G.It’s no wonder they’re becoming increasingly popular in cities around the world.
The ocean covers over 70 percent of the surface of Earth today, but over 3 billion years ago the entire planet may have been covered in water. To investigate what our planet was like billions of years ago, a team of researchers turned to indirect methods of analysis at a geological site in the Australian Outback known as Panorama(全景画) in the Pilbara Craton. Today, the region is 100 kilometers inland, but 3.2 billion years ago, it was deep underwater.
In fact, there were also once ancient hydrothermal vents (热水口) there where seawater bubbled up through the ocean floor. “There are no samples of really ancient ocean water lying around, but we do have rocks that interacted with that seawater and remembered that interaction,” lead author Benjamin Johnson, an assistant professor at Iowa State University, said in a statement.
The researchers collected over 100 of these rock samples and found something peculiar in them: a slightly higher amount of a particular isotope (同位素) of oxygen. The vast majority of oxygen on Earth is Oxygen-16 and contains eight protons (质子) and eight neutrons. However, about 0.20 percent is Oxygen-18.
Samples from Australia show the region’s ancient water contained more Oxygen-18 than present times. Since continents are covered in clay-rich soil that is efficient at trapping Oxygen-18, the team suggests that without continents covered in soil, more Oxygen-18 would have been present in the ocean. Their discovery indeed suggests there wasn’t much dry land available 3.24 billion years ago.
“There’s nothing in what we’ve done that says you can’t have tiny, micro -continents sticking out of the oceans,” added co-author Boswell Wing. “We just don’t think there were global-scale formations of continental soils like we have today.” The researchers don’t know when and how continents began to emerge out of the ocean but they plan to investigate “younger” rock formations to piece together a more precise timeline.
1.Where is the research site?
A.In a region deep underwater.
B.In a region off Australia.
C.In a region inland Australia.
D.In a region outside the Pilbara Craton.
2.What do the underlined words “interact with” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A.Have an effect on each other. B.Have a one-way effect.
C.Have a mysterious effect. D.Have a negative effect.
3.What’s the researchers’ conclusion after analyzing samples from Australia?
A.Modern earth must have been a water world.
B.Modern earth must have been a continental world.
C.Ancient earth may have been a water world.
D.Ancient earth may have been a continental world.
4.What’s the researchers’ next focus of the study?
A.To research continental soils’ formations.
B.To research the ocean’s formations.
C.To research “older” rock formations.
D.To research “younger” rock formations.
