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.

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.

My son was a second-grader. He went to school by bus every day. He was the first student on in the morning, as we were farthest from school, and the last student off in the evening. I was a teacher myself and it was a comfort to realize the school staff (职员) were all working as hard as I was to provide a safe learning environment.
One day I came home from work and waited for my son to get home for a long time. Then I called the school. “Perhaps he’s just a bit late,” said the secretary. “I will call the driver to see if those children are home.” A few minutes later, I answered the phone to hear that the other students were home. Then I called his friends’ parents, to see if perhaps he had gotten off at their stop to play. The answers were all “No.”
By that time, it was dark and I was scared. My home was in the mountain areas, and it was said that a wolf had come up somewhere. My husband wasn’t at home, so I forced myself to calm down and decided to go out to look for him. I was about to go out when the telephone rang; it was from the driver. “He’s okay,” I heard. “He was asleep on the seats in the back, under a couple of jackets. Since it’s dark, can he spend the night with my family?”
I was relieved and agreed. Since my son had a great adventure, the school started giving a copy of the list to the driver, so he could check off the children’s names when they got off the bus. I think highly of the school for taking the cautionary (警戒的) step ahead; it is a sign of their concern for students, parents, and staff.

Most of the flowers in nature are red, orange and yellow. If we have seen a black flower, it’s a chance in million. People have made a census (普查) to colors of more than four thousand kinds of flowers and discovered that only eight of them are black. As we know, sunlight is formed by seven different colored lights. The wave length of each light is different, so the quantity of heat in each light is also different. Flowers, especially their petals (花瓣), are easy to be harmed by high temperature. Black flowers can take in all the light waves which cause the flowers to dry up in a high temperature. So black flowers can rarely survive sunlight. But red flowers, orange flowers and yellow flowers can protect themselves from sunlight by reflecting the red light, orange light and yellow light, each of which has a large quantity of heat.
1.It is _________ to see a black flower.
A.impossible B.seldom
C.common D.no chance
2.The passage tells us that ________________.
A.black flowers are so weak that it is difficult for them to grow up.
B.there is only eight black flowers in nature.
C.sunlight is formed by seven different colored lights, so the wave length of each light is different.
D.black flowers can take in the light of all the wave lengths which make them dry up because of high temperature.
3.Which of the following ideas is NOT true?
A.People have found that only a few kinds of flowers are black.
B.Flowers are easy to be harmed by very high temperature.
C.Red, orange and yellow flowers can also absorb the light of all wave lengths.
D.The black flowers cannot protect themselves from sunlight.
