Emergencies (紧急情况) don’t happen very often. But when they do, you want to get help first. No one wants to spend time looking up the phone numbers.
In 1968, the United States government wanted one number that people could call for emergencies. They decided that 911 was easy to remember and people could dial it quickly. The very first 911 call was made on February 16, 1968, in Alabama. Today, 911 is used for emergencies in most parts of the United States and many parts of Canada.
Other countries may use other numbers. In Great Britain, it’s 999. If you’re not sure which emergency number is used in your area, check your phone book.
When to call
Never call 911 as a joke or just to see what might happen. The only time you should call 911 is when a person is badly hurt or in danger right now! So call when there is a fire, a car accident, or sudden sickness, etc.
When in an emergency call
When you dial the 911 operator（接线员），it’s always OK to give out your information. Speak slowly and clearly when you explain what’s happening. What happened? Where are you? Who needs help?
Don’t hang up（挂断）!
If you have to call 911, do not hang up until the operator tells you it’s OK to do so. That way, you can be sure that the operator has all the information to offer help fast.
A dog named Faith dialed 911 when her owner who was in a wheelchair fell and needed help.

| A．Because other countries also used the number. |
| B．Because it was suggested by the phone company. |
| C．Because it was simple and easy to remember and dial. |
| D．Because it was also used in many parts of Canada. |

| A．a bus hits a boy badly |
| B．a girl feels bored |
| C．an old lady falls off the stairs, unable to stand up |
| D．some people can’t get out of a burning building |
Which is the right thing to do?

Gabriel Garcia Márquez ,who was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1982，passed away at the age of 86 on April 17，2014. The world paused to remember the cultural giant(巨匠).

A group of classmates got together to visit their old teacher.
These classmates all had good jobs and made lots of money. They talked happily. Then their talk soon turned to complaining about the stress (压力) in work and life. The teacher went to the kitchen and came back with a large pot of coffee and many cups—china (瓷制的) ones, plastic ones and glass ones. Some are plain (朴素的) looking, some are expensive and some are lovely. The teacher told them to help themselves to the coffee.
When all the students had a cup of coffee in hand, the teacher said, “Can you notice that all of you took nice-looking expensive cups, leaving behind the plain and cheap ones? You want only the best for yourselves, and that is the source (根源) of your problems.”
“What all of you really wanted was coffee, not the cup, but you went for the best cups and then began looking at each other’s cups.”
“Now think about this： life is the coffee, and the jobs, money and position (位置) in society are the cups. They are just tools to hold, and do not change the life. Sometimes, by caring only about the cups, we fail to enjoy the coffee. So don’t let the cups drive you, and enjoy the coffee instead.”What did the group of classmates get together for?

| B．Because they understood the meaning of life. |
| C．Because they knew about life itself and enjoyed it. |
| D．Because they drank too much coffee. |
What is the best title of this passage?
