I saw an accident happened on my way to home this afternoon. A girl was crossing the street on a zebra crossing while a young man drove a motorbike towards her. The young man saw the girl and tried to stop, and he drove too fast to stop. He hit the girl and fell off her motorbike. The girl was badly hurt and couldn’t move. The young man didn’t know how to do. I ran to a phone box nearby and dialed 110. Soon the police reached. They sent her hospital at once. One of the policeman talked to the young man and wrote something down while was talking. I think it is very dangerous to drive very fast.

Garlic
Some people can’t stand garlic. “That smell is too strong. And it doesn’t go away! There’s nothing worse than garlic,” they say. 1.Chester Aaron grows eighty-seven kinds of garlic on his farm. He wrote a book called Garlic Is Life. It seems that people either love garlic or hate it.
2.The first wild garlic probably grew somewhere in western Russia. Later, travelers carried garlic to China, Europe, and North Africa. Farmers began planting it over 5,000 years ago.
People in many cultures shared similar ideas about garlic. For example, it was believed that garlic made it possible for slaves to work harder and longer. In Greece, the athletes of the first Olympic Games ate garlic, because they wanted to become stronger and faster. 3.In some places, garlic was called “food for lovers”. People added it to other foods because it tasted good.
People in many cultures ate garlic when they got sick. 4.It was also supposed to help with different kinds of pain.
Is eating garlic actually good for you, or should we just laugh at these old ideas? The truth is, doctors today are telling their patients, “Eat garlic!” Recent research shows that garlic is good for your heart.
5. In many cultures, people trusted garlic to protect them from all kinds of bad luck. Garlic is great, but it can’t do that!
A.But garlic wasn’t only for slaves and athletes.
B.It was supposed to make a cold or fever go away.
C.In China, people also used garlic to keep meat fresh.
D.Maybe you don’t know that garlic has a long history.
E.Recent research shows that garlic is bad for our health.
F.Other people say it tastes great and it’s good for you, too.
G.However, we can’t accept every idea about garlic from the past.
There was once a professor of medicine, who was very strict with the students. Whenever he took the chair on the exam committee(担任考试委员会主席), the students would be in fear, because he was seldom pleased with the answers they gave. A student would be lucky enough if he or she could receive a good mark from him. At the end of the term, the students of medicine would take their exam again. Now a student entered the exam room and got seated before the committee. This student was a little nervous as he knew it would not be so easy to get through the exam at all.
The professor began to ask. The student was required to describe a certain illness, his description of which turned to（结果是）be OK.
Then the professor asked about the cure (药剂) for illness, and the student, too, answered just as right.
“Good,” said the professor, “and how much will you give the patient?”
“A full spoon”, answered the student.
“Now you may go out and wait for what you can get.”, said the professor. At the same time, the committee discussed carefully the answers the student had given. Suddenly the student noticed that there was something wrong with his last answer. “ A full spoon is too much,” he thought to himself. Anxiously he opened the door of the room and cried, “Mr Professor, I’ve make a mistake! A full spoon is too much for a patient. He can take only five drops.”
“I’m sorry, sir.” Said the professor coldly, “But it’s too late. Your patient has died.”

4.Which of the following is Not true?
A.The patient will be in danger if he’s taken as much as a full spoon.
B.The doctor will be in trouble if he’s given the patient a full spoon.
C.Since one spoon is less than five drops, the patient will be all right soon if he takes only one full spoon at a time.
