The Florida sun baked my shoulders as I worked along the 1-595 freeway near Fort Lauderdale, picking up rubbish. I paused to 16 the sweat off my forehead and look up at the cloudless blue sky. ¡° 17 ¡° can¡¯t it rain?¡± I thought. That would 18 things off.
I thought about my 19 , who were 20 sitting in an air-conditioned classroom at the high school right now. I¡¯d had some 21 in school, so my parents decided to let met work 22 with my dad. We both worked for my uncle, who had taken 23 of a road maintenance company. It was up to us to keep the roads 24 of rubbish. The job was 25 and dirty, especially on hot days like this. I 26 why I ever agreed to do it.
We continued our 27 route along 595, 28 for the overpass bridge. Then I noticed an area where some 29 were broken on the ground. They weren¡¯t like that before.
¡® Dad! Pull over! I want to 30 something out.¡±
I jumped off the truck and rushed to the bridge. Something was telling me to 31 ¡ there wasn¡¯t much time. 32 I saw a Toyota that 33 upside down in the trees. Maybe it was a stolen car that somebody 34 there. Then I noticed something 35 . It was a bloody leg poking out of the driver¡¯s side window.
¡° Heeeelp¡± a lady moaned.

Kleeman said newer publications updates will be available only for the online version as language often changes too quickly for book versions to keep pace£®The online version will also offer a Chinese phonetic pronunciation guide£®The online version, allowing access via different platforms from the PC to the iPad, will be ready ¡°as soon as possible¡±, Kleeman said£®
