On a stormy day last August, Tim heard some shouting. Looking out to the sea carefully, he
saw a couple of kids in a rowboat were being pulled out to sea.
Two 12-year-old boys, Christian and Jack, rowed out a boat to search a football. Once they’d
rowed beyond the calm waters, a beach umbrella tied to the boat caught the wind and pulled the
boat into open water. The pair panicked and tried to row back to shore. But they were no match for
it and the boat was out of control.
Tim knew it would soon be swallowed by the waves.
“Everything went quiet in my head,” Tim recalls(回忆). “I’m trying to figure out how to
swim to the boys in a straight line.”
Tim took off his clothes and jumped into the water. Every 500 yards or so, he raised his head
to judge his progress. “At one point, I considered turning back,” he says. “I wondered if I was
putting my life at risk.” After 30 minutes of struggling, he was close enough to yell to the boys,
“Take down the umbrella!”
“Let’s aim for the pier(码头),” Jack said. Tim turned the boat toward it. Soon afterward,
waves crashed over the boat, and it began to sink. “Can you guys swim?” he cried. “A little bit,”
the boys said.
Once they were in the water, Tim decided it would be safer and faster for him to pull the boys
toward the pier. Christian and Jack were wearing life jackets and floated on their backs. Tim swam
toward land as water washed over the boys’ faces.
“Are we almost there?” they asked again and again. “Yes,” Tim told them each time.
After 30 minutes, they reached the pier.
Why did the two boys go to the sea?
A.To go boat rowing |
B.To get back their football. |
C.To swim in the open water |
D.To test the umbrella as a sail. |
What does “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A.The beach |
B.The water |
C.The boat |
D.The wind |
Why did Tim raise his head regularly?
A.To take in enough fresh air . |
B.To consider turning back or not. |
C.To check his distance from the boys. |
D.To ask the boys to take down the umbrella. |
How can the two boys finally reach the pier?
A.They were dragged to the pier by Tim. |
B.They swam to the pier all by themselves. |
C.They were washed to the pier by the waves. |
D.They were carried to the pier by Tim on his back. |
LONDON---A British judge on Thursday sentenced a businessman who sold fake(假冒的)bomb detectors(探测器)to 10 years in prison, saying the man hadn’t cared about potentially deadly consequences.
It is believed that James McCormick got about $ 77.8 million from the sales of his detectors---which were based on a kind of golf ball finder---to countries including Iraq, Belgium nd Saudi Arabia.McCormick, 57, was convicted(判罪)of cheats last month and sentenced Thursday at the Old Bailey court in London.
“Your cheating conduct in selling a great amount of useless equipment simply for huge profit promoted a false sense of security and in all probability materially contributed to causing death
and injury to innocent people,” Judge Richard Hone told McCormick. “You have neither regret, nor shame, nor any sense of guilt.”
The detectors, sold for up to $ 42, 000 each, were said to be able to find such dangerous objects as bombs under water and from the air. But in fact they “lacked any grounding in science”
and were of no use.McCormick had told the court that he sold his detectors to the police in Kenya, the prison service in Hong Kong, the army in Egypt and the border control in Thailand.
“I never had any bad results from customers,” he said.
Why was McCormick sentenced to prison?
A.He sold bombs. |
B.He caused death of people. |
C.He made detectors. |
D.He cheated in business. |
According to the judge, what McCormick had done .
A.increased the cost of safeguarding |
B.lowered people’s guard against danger |
C.changed people’s idea of social security |
D.caused innocent people to commit crimes |
Which of the following is true of the detectors?
A.They have not been sold to Africa |
B.They have caused many serious problems. |
C.They can find dangerous objects in water. |
D.They don’t function on the basis of science. |
It can be inferred from the passage that McCormick .
A.solo the equipment at a low price |
B.was well-known in most countries |
C.did not think he had committed the crime |
D.had not got such huge profit as mentioned in the text |
