This made Jason feel very nervous.What would happen if he made a mistake? He was pretty good at spelling,but sometimes words sounded different than they looked.He practiced all of the words five times each last night.He hoped it was enough.

Tips on Handling Rejection in Your Career

I have experienced many noes in my life. And yet, the noes haven't held me back. 1.Whenever I get a no, I view it as an invitation-to explore new ways to cooperate, perhaps at another time.

Most importantly, noes encourage my persistence(坚持不懈). 2.

Don't take the no personally. It's just business. Don't allow yourself to feel useless because someone rejects your application or says that they don't see an opportunity to work with you. As far as I'm concerned, it may have been a case of bad timing.

Don't shy away from being persistent. Persistence in the face of challenges, failures, and unexpected situations is the mark of a good employee.3.This extra effort may even get you noticed as displaying a valuable quality.

Be respectful. You won't get anywhere if you respond to a rejection with a hurt or bitter response. Honor the other person. Even if the final response is no, let the other party know you are still interested in working with them should an opportunity arise.

Be aware of cultural standards. Keep in mind that cultural standards regarding persistence vary. In some countries, it's perfectly OK to email someone twice a month to keep in touch with them.4.So, study up on the culture in which you want to take part and respect its rules.

I will continue to receive noes throughout my life. But I'm not afraid of them. 5.For me, that's been an important part of my career advancement and professional development.

A.Instead, they've served as an inspiration to me.

B.I've built up my resistance to noes by being persistent.

C.However, constant phone calls are improper sometimes.

D.There's nothing wrong with a follow-up email or phone call.

E.On the contrary, people might consider it polite and favorable.

F.But that might be seen as rude and invasive in other countries.

G.To be persistent in the face of noes, I'd like to share a few rules.

COVID-19(新冠病毒) is a threat to the very people fighting it-nurses, doctors, and other first responders, who are exposed to infected patients. Now, a team has developed two devices(设备) that could reduce their risks by sucking away infectious bacteria: a helmet to be worn by a patient,and a small tent in which a patient could be protected. The inventors hope they'll reduce the deaths among healthcare workers.

Negative-pressure rooms have been used in hospitals since the 1980s to keep airborne bacteria from spreading.But Nathan Haas says such rooms cost about$12,000. He and his colleagues wanted to develop a cheaper way to create a negative pressure environment for patients.The new devices could lower the need for negative-pressure rooms,which are rare in many parts of the world,according to Haas.

The helmet can be used when staff transport patients and the tent can protect the upper body of a bed-bound patient wearing a mask,allowing staff to perform several procedures.

“They represent a really simple solution to potentially helping reduce virus spread and increase the safety of healthcare workers, as well as patient safety,” says Ben Bassin.

When the researchers tested their devices with a healthy volunteer,they saw 97% to 99%fewer bacteria outside the devices than inside.They also tested the devices' ease of use and comfort with seven COVID-19 patients.The response from patients and staff was good, Bassin says.

But Reuben Strayer notes the tests did not prove that these devices work to protect medical staff in real-life situations. He says he wants to see independent effect, “to see if they perform as they are advertised.”

1.The following statements are true EXCEPT

A.The devices are not complicated to use

B.People have already used the devices widely

C.The effect of the devices remains to be seen

D.Negative-pressure rooms are not common because of the high cost

2.What will most probably be discussed in the following paragraph?

A.The advantages of the devices. B.Different appearances of the devices.

C.Measures to put the devices into practice. D.The reasons for inventing the devices.

3.What is the author's purpose in writing the text?

A.To inform readers of the devices. B.To praise the efforts of the researchers.

C.To stress the importance of the devices. D.To encourage people to buy the devices.

When our Scottish puppy reached doggie adolescence, she suddenly stopped obeying my commands. Previously, if I called “come,” Annie would fly across our yard to my arms. Now, the 8-month-old gave me an aggressive “make me” look and ran the other way.

Our dog trainer advised us to stop complaining. “She's a teenager,” she said. Now, a new study is backing that up: Dogs, it says, experience an oversensitive period just like human teenagers. “There is abundant folk knowledge that the behavior of adolescents differs from younger or older dogs,” says Barbara Smuts.

Puppies bond with humans much as children do. “But owners often feel like they're failing when their puppies reach adolescence,” about 8 months for most dogs, says Lucy Asher. Like teenagers, adolescent dogs can disregard and disobey their owners. Indeed, teenage dogs are the most likely age group to land in U.S. shelters.

To see exactly how adolescence changes dog behavior, Asher and her team monitored 70 female dogs being raised as potential guide dogs. They asked caregivers to score the puppies on separation-related behaviors, like trembling when left behind. Dogs with high scores on this behavior entered adolescence earlier-at about 5 months, compared with 8 months for those with lower scores. Various factors cause human teenage girls with poor parental relationships to also enter adolescence at a younger age. Thus, similar to humans, dogs that have bad relationships with their caregivers see changes in their development.

According to Smuts, adolescent dogs that were stressed by separation from their caregiver also increasingly disobeyed that person, showing the insecurity of human teenagers.

Because of the similarity between adolescent pups and humans, dogs can serve as a model species for studying adolescence in humans, the scientists say. The temporary nature of dogs which disobey the owners may make us worry less when our pups suddenly get minds of their own.

1.The author's attitude towards his dog's misbehavior can be best described as

A.tolerant B.delighted C.unsatisfied D.indifferent

2.The underlined word “disregard” in paragraph 3 probably means?

A.run after B.pay no attention to C.bark at D.defend against

3.What can we learn about adolescent dogs from the passage?

A.Many adolescent dogs like staying in American shelters.

B.Adolescent dogs will never follow their owners' instructions.

C.Adolescent dogs are fond of being separated from their caregivers.

D.Dogs having poor relation with their caregivers enter adolescence earlier.

4.What's the main idea of the passage?

A.Both young dogs and teenagers rely on their parents.

B.Many researches have shown young dogs are aggressive.

C.Adolescent dogs feel more anxious and frightened than teenagers.

D.Like human teenagers, dogs get difficult when they reach adolescence.

Four years into my Ph.D. program, my hands started to go numb each night as I slept. I didn't think much of it at the time. Then one night, while sound asleep, I somehow mistook my numb arm for a snake. I threw myself out of bed and woke in a panic. I later discovered that this nighttime event wasn't simply a strange dream.

At that time, I was working toward my Ph.D. and training to be a clinical psychologist. There was never enough time to occupy myself fully in my world. The exams constantly worried and even scared me.

Later that year, while discussing a patient's symptoms with a neurologist(神经学家), I realized that my anxiety could be the direct cause of the numbness in my hands. There was a certain irony(讽刺) in that realization. I'd spent years learning about psychological tools for dealing with stress and anxiety.But until then it never occurred to me that I, too, was experiencing an abnormal level of stress and anxiety.

Now, I specialize in helping take a healthier approach to dealing with the pressures of academics.I've seen firsthand how many of them possess inner voices demanding perfection and telling them that the sacrifices are necessary for success.

My message to those I work with is that being overworked and stressed-out is unhealthy.Achievements and health can be both gained. So, when your inner alarm bells send you a warning signal-or when snakes attack in the night-don't hesitate; take action.

1.What happened to the author?

A.A snake bit him when he was sleeping.

B.He frequently had strange dreams at night.

C.He could do whatever he wanted in a clinic.

D.Numbness in his arms attacked him due to huge stress.

2.The author's anxiety comes from

A.his academic work B.his lack of sleep

C.his social relationship D.his demand for perfection

3.What can we learn from the last two paragraphs?

A.He now realizes academics is of no benefit.

B.A large number of people arc forced to be perfect.

C.Warning signals mean it's time to stop being over-stressed.

D.Achievements make it impossible for people to keep healthy.

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

I was born and grew up in a small seaside town. In my childhood, I often played on the beach with my elder sister, chasing (追逐) the waves and enjoying the seaside scenery.

One sunny summer afternoon, my sister and I were playing on a big rock quite a distance from the beach. We were so happy that we didn’t notice the water rising. When we decided to go back, we were shocked to find that the rock had almost been covered by water and there was no way back to the shore. Meanwhile, the wind blew harder and harder. We got into a panic, waving and shouting crazily towards the shore. Suddenly, I slipped (滑) and fell into the sea. My sister stretched out her hand to catch hold of me. However, she could not stay still, and slid off the rock into the sea, too.

“Help! Help!” We cried. I could feel my body tingling (酸麻) as I tried to breathe for air. I attempted to swim back to the rock, but the water was too deep and the waves were too strong. What made things worse was that the rough water made it almost impossible for anyone to hear our cries. Tears mixed with the water as I struggled in the sea. My sister, although using all her strength, wasn’t able to pull me in. Instead, she was being pushed apart from me by the big waves. The two of us, scared to death, kept crying.

Luckily, two boys playing on the beach happened to see us. They quickly found a stick nearby and approached us cautiously, hand in hand. They tried to pull us ashore with the stick. But the stick was too short for us to reach. Worse still, the wind was getting so strong that the two boys were rocked from side to side, unable to stand steadily. Eventually, they had no choice but to go back to the shore to look for other people to help us.

Another huge wave crashed over my head and pulled me under.

The negative health impacts of plastic on both wildlife and humans have been well documented. Recycling contributes to settling the problem. However, the material coming from the plastic recycled using the traditional technology is of lower quality and can only be used a few times for items like clothing or carpets before it has to be thrown away.

Now, French start-up Carbios wants to help alleviate the world’s plastic pollution with a bacterial enzyme (细菌酶) that “eats” PET—the most plentiful plastic used to produce packaging and plastic bottles. The enzyme is able to downgrade 90% of a ton of plastic in less than 10 hours. And the resulting material can be used to create anything and, more importantly, can be continuously recycled.

To break down the plastic, the waste is placed in a reactor with water and the enzyme and heated for 16 hours at 65℃. The resulting mix is then filtered (过滤) and purified (净化). This allows for the recovery of the building blocks that make up PET. These building blocks are then remade into new plastic and transformed into bottles and other items, without having to use more resources.

The recycling process will be tested in a larger range at a new, bigger facility in Lyon, France, by the end of 2021. Once all the problems have been removed, Carbios hopes to bring the technology on the market by 2024.

Though Carbios’s recycling technique will certainly help reduce plastic pollution, Stephan believes it is only part of the solution. We can only win the battle if we do a better job of ensuring that plastic waste does not end up in the environment or in landfills. So the next time you use a plastic bottle, be sure to make the extra effort to place it in a recycling bin.

1.What does the underlined word “alleviate” in paragraph 2 mean?

A.Cut down. B.Reflect on.

C.Keep records of. D.Watch out for.

2.What is the main characteristic of the material produced by enzyme?

A.It can resist bacteria. B.It can stand high temperatures.

C.It can be sustainably used. D.It is harmless to the environment.

3.What does paragraph 3 mainly tell us?

A.The sources of the bacterial enzyme.

B.The process of producing plastic bottles.

C.How the bacterial enzyme breaks down PET.

D.How waste plastic is recycled with the bacterial enzyme.

4.Which statement agrees with the text?

A.The new technology has been put to wide use.

B.Traditional plastic is easily storable and affordable.

C.The promising enzymes technology is in the experimental stage.

D.Bacterial enzymes will completely solve the problem of plastic pollution.

Though thousands of adventurers have climbed up Mount Everest, the highest and most famous of the world’s 14 tallest mountains, only 40 climbers have conquered them all. Nepalese mountaineer Purja became one of them after he reached the 8,028-meter peak of China’s Mt. Shishapangma on October 29, 2019. Purja made the extraordinary achievement in just six months and six days, much faster than late South Korean climber Kim Chang-ho’s 2013 record of 7 years, ten months, and six days.

“I am incredibly excited and proud to have reached this final peak and achieved my goal of climbing the world’s 14 tallest mountains in record time,” Purja said. “It was extremely hard six months, and I hope to have proven that anything is possible with some determination, self-belief, and positivity.”

Purja’s “Project Possible” started becoming a reality on April 23, 2019, when he successfully peaked Nepal’s 8,091 meters tall Mt. Annapurna. The climber then rapidly completed the next five mountains, including Mt. Everest, within only four weeks! Five more peaks were conquered in July and the last three during September and October.

The adventurer, who was joined by teams of Nepalese climbers on each of his adventures, encountered many memorable and critical moments. On April 23, 2019, while going down Mt. Annapurna, Purja and his team heard about a Malaysian climber who had been separated from his group with no food, water, or oxygen for over 40 hours. They managed to find him and got him airlifted to a hospital. On May 15, 2019, Purja’s team similarly helped three trapped climbers on Mt. Kanchenjunga by giving them oxygen.

Purja said his primary purpose for undertaking this enormous task was to show the world that anyone can attain greatness if they put their minds to it. “By achieving this goal, I knew I could inspire people from all generations across the world,” he said.

1.Which was the last of the world’s 14 tallest mountains Purja peaked?

A.Mt. Everest. B.Mt. Annapurna.

C.Mt. Kanchenjunga. D.Mt. Shishapangma.

2.Which of the following best describes Purja?

A.Capable, worthy and honest. B.Brave, intelligent and traditional.

C.Determined, positive and caring. D.Creative, energetic and adventurous.

3.What does the author want to tell us by the examples in paragraph 4?

A.The number of climbers should be limited to ensure safety.

B.Purja and his team are willing to assist climbers in trouble.

C.It is impossible to rescue trapped climbers on high mountains.

D.Necessary preparations must be made before climbing mountains.

4.What might be the best title of the text?

A.Mountaineering: A Challenging but Popular Sport

The population of the capital Luxembourg City doubles every working day thanks to the flood of workers, and in the morning and evening rush hours, there often comes traffic block. It’s a familiar difficult problem but here they’ve come up with a novel solution.

From next year public transport will be free for everyone. The number of people taking the public transport is far from what is expected and so this idea has been brought up, which of course results in some argument.

This is what’s being built, a new tram system that will link trains in park-and-ride programs designed to make free public transport smooth and attractive. This is a big attempt by the Luxembourg government into whether people can be made to change the way they behave, because free public transport is great for existing commuters. But the question is whether drivers can be persuaded to change their cars and traffic jams for commuting on public transport.

The designer firmly believes the system is so good and effective. Everyone will want to use it. Everyone can use it, young or old, rich or poor, and everyone can say to themselves it’s better to leave the car at home. But others consider it questionable.

Taxi drivers don’t seem worried about trams stealing their trade. Businessmen who come here are never going to take public transport. They’ll take a taxi because they have meetings to get to.

So Luxembourg’s plan is really a test, and it’s one that plenty of bigger nations will be watching. As we know, the way we move around shapes our cities, our lives, our work and our environment. Luxembourg is a very small country but this could be a very big idea.

1.Why does Luxembourg City plan to make public transport free?

A.To reduce traffic jams. B.To attract more businessmen.

C.To encourage people to avoid rush hours. D.To help its citizens travel more comfortably.

2.What can we infer about the result of the plan?

A.Taxi drivers’ business will be badly affected.

B.More people will choose to drive to and from work.

C.People’s daily behavior will be completely changed.

D.Taking public transport can save money for commuters.

3.How does the designer feel about the system?

A.Hopeless. B.Concerned. C.Confident. D.Regretful.

4.What’s the author’s purpose of writing the text?

A.To list the traffic problems Luxembourg faces.

B.To show how Luxembourg controls its population.

C.To give people advice on how to get around Luxembourg.

D.To introduce Luxembourg’s new public transport measure.

When she got to the backyard she noticed something in the fence at the far end of the yard."Oh,no!”Anna grabbed Brisky's collar and led him to the house."Mom!Mom!"

Mom raced onto the back porch."What's wrong?"

＂There's a fawn(小鹿）trapped in the back fence.We've got to help it!"

Mom grabbed Brisky."You have to stay in the house,boy.You could accidentally hurt the fawn."She put him inside and closed the door."Come on,honey,"said Mom.

Anna and Mom sped to the back fence.Mom looked to see if she could get the fawn loose."It's a female fawn.I don't know why she's alone or how on earth she got her leg stuck in between the planks(旱板）。We'll need help.You stay with her,I'll go call animal rescue."

Anna sat next to the fawn."It'll be okay.Don't be scared."She kept talking to the fawn until help came.She was relieved to see Mom leading the rescuer through the yard.

Anna rushed to meet them."It's a fawn.She's stuck in the fence.Can you help her?"gasped Anna.

＂Well,howdy.I'm Randy.Let me take a look.I need to know what we're dealing with."Randy examined the fawn then smiled at Anna."We'll have her out of there in just a bit.I have to go to my truck to get some tools.I'll be right back.”

Anna walked with Randy."Will the fawn be okay?How come she's not with her mother?Can we keep her?”

Randy scratched his head."Okay,let's go one at a time.The fawn will be fine.She was probably waiting in hiding for her mother to come back and got frightened.Luckily, nothing was after her."He opened his truck and took a hammer and some other tools out of a toolbox.

“What about my last question?Can we keep her?"

If your family or group of friends loves to bike,then a bike trip makes a perfect vacation. 1.Because you move more slowly on a bike,you have a chance to really sink into your environment,observing wildlife and views that you might miss otherwise.

As you plan your trip,the biggest decision to make is how far you'd like to travel each day.If you have unskilled bikers or kids in your group,you'll probably all be happiest if you keep your mileage goals fairly modest.2.

3. You can book campsites ahead of time at campgrounds along the way, and ride into camp as late as you like. Keep in mind that some camping equipment is heavy. Invest in a light-weight tent,and light-weight inflatable pads(充气垫）for under your sleeping bag.Dehydrated food also helps keep the weight down.

If you're going to be traveling on trails at all,you'll want to ride a mountain bike during your trip.On the other hand,if your whole route is wholly along roads,you can ride a lighter-weight street bike.Or,you can put heavier-weight tires on a street bike.4.

Biking is a great way to see the country,and if you have a lot of time,you can cover quite a bit of distance.Over the course of a multi- week trip,you'll get stronger and you'll be able to go further in one day.5. If your trip is a long one,you might want to rest a day or two early in your travels to give your body some rest.

A.An easy way to travel is to camp along the way.

B.Check in with your local bike shop for suggestions on tire weight.

C.Taking a bike trip is not only convenient but also beneficial to our health.

D.Be sure to bring the contact information and directions for each campground.

E.But a group of more experienced bikers can make more serious mileage goals.

F.Seeing the world from the seat of a bike is a wonderful way to experience new places.

G.Bear in mind, though, that early in the trip you'll start every day feeling tired from the day before.

Elephant seals in funny-looking hats are helping NASA study climate science.

Equipped with specialized sensors that resemble tiny metal hats with antennae(大线），these seals are collecting data that's helping researchers track how heat moves through ocean currents. A team of climate scientists led by Lia Siegelman used this clever technique to track changes in temperature as the seal swam the icy waters of the Antarctic.

With the help of one particularly female seal,the researchers discovered that heat stored at the ocean's depths can sometimes get swirled(打旋）back up to the surface thanks to some deeply penetrating(穿透）currents.While researchers have known that these currents can ferry heat downward into the ocean's interior(内部），the new findings suggest the opposite is true as well-driving a process that can warm the sea's surface as well.

Siegelman thinks it's important to include this new information into existing climate models.Before seals entered the picture,scientists had a pretty limited view of what went on beneath the surface of the Southern Ocean.Here,temperatures can suddenly fall below－1℃,and thick sheets of sea ice block instruments from collecting data.All in all,it's a pretty unappealing area for underwater field work.

But none of that troubles southern elephant seals,which spend nine to ten months of each year at sea,swimming thousands of miles and diving up to half a mile beneath the ocean surface-usually about 80 times a day.

So Siegelman and her colleagues tagged a female elephant seal on the Kerguelen Islands.The researchers followed her 3,000-mile journey,during which she dived 6,333 times."Even when they sleep,they dive,"Siegelman said.“They float down like a leaf."

Combined with satellite images,the wealth of data the seal recovered gave Siegelman and her team a clearer picture than they'd ever been afforded before.It's probably safe to say that the significance of this was lost on the seal.But from the human perspective(观点），it's clear seals are filling in some massive gaps in knowledge.

1.How did the researchers collect climate data in the Antarctic?

A.By testing a high-tech hat.

B.By studying a seal's behavior.

C.By measuring the water temperature.

D.By attaching a sensor to a seal's head.

2.The new findings indicate that_

A.ocean currents can drive heat up to the surface

B.heat can be taken down into the ocean's interior

C.the warm temperatures can help seals dive deep

D.the world's waters can balance global warming

3.The researchers used seals to monitor the Southern Ocean probably because.

A.the scenery is unattractive

B.the sea floor is changeable

C.seals are aggressive hunters

D.seals are extraordinary divers

4.What can be inferred from the last paragraph?

A.Seals help us observe the unknown world.

B.Satellites are used to track human activities.

C.The ocean presents a more beautiful picture.

D.Data are analyzed for better survival of seals.

The 1953 painting"Goyita"by Rafael features his mother with a red scarf on her head,a determined look on her face,and heavy expression lines,a portrait(画像）of a working-class woman that broke from traditional ones of the time that focused largely on wealthy men.

“Goyita"is one of more than 350 paintings from Puerto Rico that Google Arts&Culture digitized(数字化）for the first time with help from"Hamilton"creator Lin-Manuel Miranda, who started the online exhibition that features works from four Puerto Rican art institutions.

The aim is to expose the world to Puerto Rican art,preserve it,and help museums in the U.S.that are struggling to exhibit paintings because of limited space and budget cuts.

Puerto Rico's artwork joins Google's current online exhibitions and stories from around the world.As part of the project,Google brought its so-called"art camera"for the first time to Puerto Rico.The camera has an extremely high resolution(分辨率）thanks to a 400 millimeter zoom(镜头）that uncovers details invisible to the human eye,including brush strokes(笔法）。It also allowed those at the Institute of Puerto Rican Culture to find the signature of a pioneering female artist.

The camera took thousands of pictures to digitize 48 pieces of Puerto Rican art as it went inches by inches to cover an entire painting,a job that took 30 minutes to several hours depending on the size of the artwork,said Simon Delacroix,U.S.lead for Google Arts&Culture.

As Mr.Delacroix showed the power of the zoom on a painting called"El Gobernador Don Miguel Antonio de Ustariz",a collective"Wow"escaped from the audience attending the project at the Museum of Puerto Rico.The crowd could appreciate details in the background including someone that appears to be laughing from a balcony.

Google Arts&Culture already allows users to explore more than 2,000 museums and historic sites including Nelson Mandela 's prison cell.In total,it offers more than 6 million photos,videos,and other documents.

1.What do we know about the painting"Goyita"?

A.It is a traditional portrait. B.It is a painting by Miranda.

C.It describes a wealthy man. D.It features a working-class woman.

2.What does a Google camera uncover about Puerto Rico's artwork?

A.Its world-famous stories. B.Its humour and complexity.

C.Its depth and richness. D.Its historical backgrounds.

3.How did the audience feel the power of the zoom?

A.Amazed. B.Terrified. C.Confused. D.Disappointed.

4.What's the best title for the text?

A.Google bans its painting show B.Google digitizes Puerto Rican art

C.Google helps museums to survive D.Google launches its high-tech camera

Every Christmas,the firm I worked for raised money for disadvantaged kids in the area,and every Christmas I'd drive out with colleagues to deliver gifts.Some years ago, we were returning to work and stopped at an intersection as the lights turned red.

We were in the middle lane and I became aware of an SUV(越野车）coming up behind us at speed;at the last moment,it switched to the righthand lane and carried straight on past the red light into traffic moving west to east.It crashed into another vehicle,causing it to veer off(转向），then they both skidded to a stop.

There was a loud"Bang"and flames leapt from the SUV 's front.I had been a volunteer firefighter for many years and had attended automobile accidents before.As the flames grew fiercer,I knew the car's battery had exploded and that there was no time to lose.I dashed round to the passenger side.The door was locked,but by pulling on the window frame,I managed to tear it open.I leaned in,unbuckled the driver's belt and pulled him across to the passenger side.

Other than some cuts,he was fine.I left him with my workmates and went to check on the driver of the other car,who was also unhurt.Then I headed back to the intersection, where I directed traffic around the burning vehicle until the emergency services arrived.

On the way back to work,I said to my colleagues:"What you saw,keep it under your hats,OK?"But an hour later I had a call from a friend on a local TV station."Brad,"he said,"I have a picture here that someone's sent in of you helping out at a traffic accident."

I hoped that would be the end f it,but the story was to have an unexpected ending. A couple of weeks after the accident,I agreed to a televised reunion with Michael Walker, the guy I'd pulled from the car.He thanked me,and then he introduced me to his daughter, Amber.It turned out she had been separated from her mum and dad,but returned home after the accident.Knowing this family had been reunited was greatly comforting to me-a real Christmas gift.

1.The car crash was caused by

A.the SUV driver's running the red light

B.the traffic chaos at the intersection

C.the heavy traffic during Christmas

D.the author's car blocking the way

2.Who saved the trapped driver from the burning car?
