11．Mr．Peter Johnson，aged twenty-three，battled for half an hour to escape from his trapped car yesterday when it landed upside down in three feet of water．Mr．Johnson took the only escape route--through the boot（行李箱）．
Mr．Johnson's car had finished up in a ditch（沟渠） at Romney Marsin，Kent，after skidding on ice and hitting a bank．"Fortunately，the water began to come in only slowly，"Mr．Johnson said，"I couldn't force the doors because they were jammed against the walls of the ditch and dared not open the windows because I knew water would come flooding in．"
Mr．Johnson，a sweet salesman of Sitting Home，Kent，first tried to attract the attention of other motorists by sounding the horn and hammering on the roof and boot．Then he began his struggle to escape．
Later he said，"It was really a half penny that saved my life．It was the only coin I had in my pocket and I used it to unscrew the back seat to get into the boot．I hammered desperately with a hammer trying to make someone hear，but no help came．"
It took ten minutes to unscrew the seat，and a further five minutes to clear the sweet samples from the boot．Then Mr．Johnson found a wrench and began to work on the boot lock．Fifteen minutes passed by．"It was the only chance I had．Finally it gave，but as soon as I moved the boot lid，the water and mud poured in．I forced the lid down into the mud and scrambled clear as the car filled up．"
His hands and arms cut and bruised，Mr．Johnson got to Beckett Farm nearby，where he was looked after by the farmer's wife，Mrs．Lucy Bates．Trembling in a blanket，he said，"That thirty minutes seemed like hours．"Only the tips of the car wheels were visible，police said last night．The vehicle had sunk into two feet of mud at the bottom of the ditch．

12．If you have a cat，you already know that a cat isn't a dog that doesn't have to be walked．If you're about to bring a cat into your family，you need to understand that basic fact．The common wisdom is that dogs are friendlier than cats．
In recent years，scientists who have done DNA studies have offered a better way to understand cats．Unlike other animals that people feed，cats domesticated themselves，and，in a way，trained humans．Cats decided to live close to humans because doing so benefited the cats themselves．
Studies show that cats have lived with humans for about 12，000years，since people first settled down and started farming．When people started storing grain，mice arrived and started eating the grain．Clever cats figured out that the mice settlements where people stored grain were easy for hunting，so they started hanging around．Cats did what they needed to do to get the people to let them stay，but they kept up their independence．Over time，cats allowed humans to get a bit closer to them．Later，the farmers did befriend the cats．Certainly，it didn't do them any harm because they could see that the cats were really helping them out by eating mice．
Today，about a third of American families have cats．In most of those homes，the cats are still more interested in pleasing themselves than in pleasing their human families．A dog may do anything it can to make you happy，but kitty will teach you to make kitty happy．

A．colder
B．friendlier
C．more warm-hearted

I can still remember clearly the day after I had my first exam in Senior High．I didn't pass them．I was so scared that I even don't want to go to school any more．My parents looked my test paper calmly but said，"My child，we're very glad you has finished half of it and you can do better next time．We never expect you to do the best at a very beginning．We strong believe you can make progress gradually．"What they said made me to feel I could do things well．From then on，I have concentrated much on my studies．Now I'm always filling with confidence in my studies because I know my parents are always behind me．
