“All I could see was two sets of red eyes below me,” said Dave Gatty, an Australian farmer who spent seven days up a tree in remote bush land to escape crocodiles. Gatty, 52, said he was forced to take such drastic action after he accidentally went into a crocodile-infested area of Queensland. He only had two meat sandwiches to keep him going, as crocodiles moved beneath his tree each night until his rescue. Gatty said he decided it was safer to hold out for a rescue team than try to make a run for it. His problems began after he fell off his horse while out in the northern Australia outback. Dazed and bleeding, he climbed back on his horse and hoped it would lead him home. It was only when he regained his senses he realized that he had been taken into crocodile-infested area. “I had to get off the horse and I fell straight into a crocodile nest,” he told reporters.
“That frightened me. I couldn’t go back, it was too far and too dangerous, so I headed to the nearest high ground and stayed there, hoping someone would come and find me before the crocs did.”
Gatty explained how each night two crocodiles would sit at the bottom of the tree staring at him. Although Gatty’s two sandwiches ran out after three days, he was able to get running water during the day and knew rescuers were looking for him as he could see helicopters in the air above his tree.
“If I hadn’t seen the crocs circling me, and if I hadn’t fallen into the croc nest, I would have made a push for it. But I knew the safest thing was for me to sit and wait,” he said. A chocolate bar, given to him by rescuers after being moved to safety by using a winch(卷揚(yáng)機(jī)), “was like a gourmet (delicious)meal,” he said.
1.Gaddy felt _______ when he found himself trapped in the crocodile- infested area.
A. panicked but optimistic B. nervous and hopeless
C. upset and regretful D. frightened but calm
2.Which of the following did not help Gatty survive the accident?
A. Sandwiches B. Running water
C. Chocolates D. Staying up in a tree
3.What’s the right order of the events related to the accident?
a. Gaddy climbed up onto his horse unconscious.
b. Gaddy climbed up a tree and stayed there.
c. Gaddy was moved by a winch to safety.
d. Gaddy fell off his horse accidentally.
e. Gaddy found himself in a crocodile-infested area.
A. a d e c b B. d a e b c C. a d e b c D. d e a b c
4.The article can be classified as _________.
A. a news story B. a scientific fiction
C. a personal essay D. a literary report

Until a few months ago, he was a butler(管家) in one of the more expensive residential buildings in Manhattan. But now, Nepal-born Indra Tamang is the owner of two multi-million dollar apartments in the same building.
The former owner - his former employer, Ruth Ford - died last year and left the apartments to Mr Tamang in her will.
Mr Tamang is happy but quickly points out that his good fortune did not come easily. "I am happy and have been touched by the generosity of the Ford family," he says. "I never expected that I will be given the ownership of these apartments. But I have been working for the family for the last 36 years, devotedly, with honesty and dedication(奉獻(xiàn)). So my hard work has been rewarded."
Mr Tamang was 21 when he was brought from Nepal by Charles Ford, a writer and a photographer. Mr Ford died in 2002; his sister, actress Ruth Ford, then took charge and told Mr Tamang that he was like a brother to her after Charles's death.
Mrs Ford died aged 98. During the last five years of her life, she lost her eyesight and also developed speech problems. Mr Tamang looked after her most of the time and took care of her medicines and food.
He also worked with Charles Ford on various photography projects, which he now wants to keep as the photographer's legacy(遺產(chǎn)). He hopes to organize exhibitions of Mr Ford's photographs and edit a book of his works.
Mr Tamang plans to sell the bigger, three-bedroom apartment to pay the taxes he owes to the government on his legacy. He says: "The rules of the building might be a problem, as they require a minimum monthly income to qualify to live as owner of apartments. I have my small house here but I am happy with it,"
Mr Tamang has learnt his lesson from the life of his employers and plans to use his money with great caution. "I think one should save money for old age. That's when you need it the most to get care," he says.
1.Mr Tamang treated the legacy as __________.
A. a reward B. a punishment C. business D. a gift
2.What DIDN’T Mr Tamang do in the Ford family?
A. Show Mr Ford's works in the exhibition.
B. Look after Ruth Ford when she was ill.
C. Work on kinds of photography projects
D. Experience deaths of Charles Ford and Ruth Ford
3.Mr Tamang wants to sell one apartment to _______.
A. buy the small house
B. pay the government the tax of the apartments
C. edit a book of Charles Ford's photographs
D. move into the expensive apartments as soon as possible
4.What lesson does Mr Tamang learn from the Ford family?
A. To find a good butler.
B. To spend money thoughtfully.
C. To save money for children.
D. To get good care when people get old.
5.What can we know from the passage?
A. Charles Ford gave the apartments to Mr Tamang.
B. Charles Ford couldn't see or speak before his death.
C. Mr Tamang treated Ruth Ford much better than her brother.
D. Mr Tamang will still live in his small house in the near future.

Mrs. Jones was very fond of singing. She had a good 16 , except that some of her high notes tended to sound like a gate, which someone had forgotten to 17 .
