Part of her body was not able to move. Last month she called a wrong number, but this was the best mistake of her life.One day Anne Turner fell in her bedroom and couldn’t get up, so she tried to pickup the phone and began to call a friend. She thought she was calling a friend, but instead her call reached an 18-year-old girl, Taylor Booker. She was a student at the University of California, hundreds of miles away from Turner’s house. At that time Booker was reading in bed. She thought it was somebody playing a joke. When she was going to hang up, she heard a weak voice saying “help”. From the old woman’s voice she knew she was having a stroke. In fact she had taken many classes on this disease. She asked a friend to call 911, while she collected some information from Turner like her name and her exact address, and she stayed on the line until the doctors arrived at Turner’s house. Turner was taken to hospital before it was too late and became safer soon after.Turner sent a card to the girl who saved her life and did whatever she could to thank her. On the Tuesday night, Booker received a commendation(嘉奖) from the city of Hercules, her hometown. They honored her for her kindness.

There is a saying in English, “Have you swallowed a dictionary?”It is applicable(适用的) to anyone who uses a long, difficult word when a shorter word will do. And there is another saying, “Practice makes perfect.” So here are some tips for speaking English.Make friends with native English speakers. Try to listen to what they say and try to repeat what you hear just as a child does. If you use English all the time as a child, you may learn it quickly. If you are not able to find any friendly native speakers where you live, you can find English speakers on the Internet! Try to talk with them about the movies or the books you like. If you can’t find anyone who will actually help you, don’t worry. You will still be able to find out whether they can understand you.Join an English club. Around the world there are many English-speaking clubs.These clubs are not just for experts, but for people who are interested in English. They can be interesting and fun. Check magazines as well as your phone book and your local newspapers. If there isn’t one in your area—establish one. Then make posters for it.Visit a British restaurant. You can find one in larger cities. The waiters and waitresses come from English-speaking countries, and the menu is often in English, too!Don’t worry about not sounding like a native. It’s more important to speak clearly and pleasantly than to sound like a queen of English. The most important thing to think about is whether people can understand you.54. The underlined word “establish” means ____.A. startB. findC. visitD. join55. We can learn ____ according to the passage.A. it’s necessary to use a long, difficult wordB. experts shouldn’t join an English clubC. children can speak English better than adultsD. native speakers can help us speak English better56. The passage is mainly about _____.A. where to find English-speaking clubsB. whether to use long words or short onesC. how to use English as a nativeD. how to improve spoken EnglishDOne in one hundred people around the world die from secondhand smoke each year, a new study shows. Nearly two-thirds of the deaths happen in children.More than one billion people around the world would smoke and 5 million die each year from tobacco-related illness, according to the World Health Organization (WHO); That’s about one person dying every six seconds. Health experts have known this for a while.But just how many people are sickened by secondhand smoke has been less clear until now.According to a WHO study published in a British medical journal The Lacent last month, data collected from 192 countries in 2004 shows that as many as “40 percent of children, 35 percent of women, and 33 percent of men are regularly exposed to secondhand smoke indoors.”The researchers then estimate that secondhand smoke causes 600,000 deaths every year. That accounts for about 1 percent of the world’s deaths.Tobacco use is one of the highest public health threats the world has ever faced, according to the WHO. The study author estimate that 165,000 children under the age of 5 die each year from the diseases caused by secondhand smoke—and most of these deaths happen in Africa and South Asia.Health experts believe more needs to be done to create completely smoke-free indoor environment.In another article in the same issue of the Lancet, health expert Jonathan Samel and Heather Wipfli say their research from 31 countries found that 88 percent of parents who smoked did so at home and over 80 percent smoked near their children. They say it is important to create smoke-free homes, which would help lower the numbers of people who sicken and die as a result of other people’s smoke.In the UK, the British Lung Foundation is asking the government to ban(禁止) smoking in cars.Helena Shovelton, the foundation’s CEO, said smoking parents often underestimate the danger of smoking to their children.“They absolutely would not do something dangerous like leaving their children in the middle of the road, but somehow, smoking in front of them is fine” she said.57. The numbers in the first paragraph are to show _____.A. the serious effect of secondhand smokeB. how common smoking is in the worldC. how dangerous smoking is to smokersD. that most children die from smoking58. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. WHO has the exact number of people sickened by secondhand smoke.B. About 165,000 children die from secondhand smoke every year.C. Smoke—free homes are very common in Africa and South Asia.D. Children are more easily hurt by secondhand smoke.59.What did Helena want to tell us in the last paragraph?A. It’s dangerous to leave a child in the middle of the road.B. Smoking in front of a child is not so dangerous as people think.C. Smoking parents are not aware of the danger of secondhand smoke.D. Smoking parents don’t care about the deaths of their children.60. Health experts suggest that people should _____.A. not smoke near their children or indoorsB. pay attention to smoking-related illnessC. stop smoking as soon as possibleD. smoke when they are alone补全句子One day a young girl was driving with her father and it started to rain. “What should I do?”the girl asked. “Keep driving!”her father said.
