12．Peter came up with anapproach（方法）to solving the problem at the meeting．

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．

7．Researchers in China and the United States have developed a new cataract（白内障）treatment with cells that has restored vision in babies in a trial and may eventually be used in adults．
The treatment-by doctors and staff members at the University of California，San Diego School of Medicine and Sichuan and Sun Yat-sen universities in China-was published in March 9edition of the scientific journal Nature．
A cataract is a clouding of the normally clear lens（晶体）of an eye．Typical cataract operation involves the removal of the cloudy lens and the insertion of an artificial one．The new operation has been tested in animals and during a small，human trial．It resulted in fewer complications（并发症）than the current harmful operation，and in regrown lenses with superior visual function in all 12of the baby cataract patients who received the procedure．
A congenital cataract-lens clouding that occurs at birth or shortly after-is important cause of blindness in children．In the new research，Kand Zhang，head of ophthalmic genetics at US San Diego's Shiley Eye Institute，and his colleagues relied on the regrown potential of endogenous（同源的）stem cells．
According to Zhang，endogenous stem cells are different from other stem cells that are typically grown in a laboratory，transplanted into a patient，and can have risks of immune（免疫的）rejection，infection or cancers．Zhang told CBS News，"We invented a new operation to make a very small opening at the side of a cataractous lens bag，remove the cataract inside，allow the opening to heal，and promote potential lens stem cells to regrow an entirely new lens with vision．"
The human trial involved 12 babies under the age of 2 who were treated with the new method，while 25 babies received thee standard operation care..The latter group experienced a higher incidence of pos-operation danger，early-onset eye high blood pressure and increased lens clouding．The scientists reported fewer complications and faster healing among the 12 babies who has the new procedure．
