It was a painful 100 hours from the moment the earthquake struck until rescuers pulled Liu Deyun from the ruins of a factory yesterday. When he went to work on Monday morning, he had never thought that he would spend the next week in the ruins of his workplace. “It was a miracle(奇迹), but that happened through our hard work,” said Zhao Hongxing, an army doctor who joined in rescue. “His first words were ‘The army is great. ’”

Chinese troops may have been the ones to physically free Mr Liu, 50, but it was his daughter who didn't give up looking for her father that saved his life at last. On Thursday night, running around the fallen factory, the family search party headed by his daughter, heard a low cry. “Father! Father!” Mr Liu answered in a low voice “Yes”. Then, after more than three days buried under the fallen building, came two simple words: “I’m thirsty”. The reply was probably not what he was wanting: “Father don't talk! You need your air! I will go and find somebody to rescue you!”

The entire first floor of the building fell down, with the second floor completely damaged and pushing the building to one side. The 12-hour rescue operation to save Mr Liu was filled with danger. Mr Liu was freed yesterday at 6:28 p. m. His family had agreed to cut off one of his feet so that he could be pulled out. “I just want him to live,” his daughter Yuan, 23, said in tears.

Mr Liu, wrapped in a blanket, was welcomed by a large number of people who was concerned about him. And with the latest survivor taken to a waiting ambulance(急救车), the rescue workers went back to the ruins where two more factory workers were waiting for their turn to be dug out.

67. What day was Mr Liu was saved from the ruins?

A. Monday.         B. Tuesday.            C. Thursday.           D. Friday.

68. His daughter asked him not to talk because______.

A. there wasn't much water to drink             B. there was nobody to rescue him

C. he would have difficulty in breathing        D. it would be difficult to find him again

69. Liu Deyun said “The army is great” in order to ________.

A. thank the people who helped him out        B. show that he can talk

C. encourage them to save more people        D. get more help from them

70. From the text, we can know_________.

A. the Chinese troops first found Mr Liu in ruins

B. his daughter played an important part in finding him

C. Mr Liu would be sent back to his home at once

D. Mr Liu could walk out the ruins by himself

Earlier this week I was at a store after the holiday season. While waiting in line, I 　31 a Dad who was stressed out with his two sons waiting in line to buy a car seat for the younger child.

　 The father asked if he could buy the display model because it would be 　32 than the others. The cashier 　33　 that he could buy the display model 　34 that there was no box for it. He said that was just 　35 with him.

　 Then he asked if there were any additional coupons (优惠券) to bring the 　36 down just a little bit more. The cashier was doing her best to 　37 some coupons for this young father, but wasn’t 　38 much of anything in her drawer.

　 I used to be a people-watcher, but as I 　39 this for about five minutes, I was beyond 　40 to help. Before I could really think about it, I found myself digging through my 41　 for the 10 to 15 dollars in coupons.

　 But I found nothing. I gave him $20 cash. The father said he couldn’t 　42　 it, but appreciated my offer. The cashier was 　43 in the same mode as I was in, wanting to help this young family and took the money toward his 　44 with a smile on her face. The seat 45 coming to around $50 instead of the original $90.

　 As the Dad collected his small children and began to 　46 , he looked at me and said, “You really shouldn’t have done that but I thank you so much---you just made certain that we will all get to eat today.”

　 My reply was simple. Be it 　47 or years from now, simply do the same or something extra for someone else you don’t know, and that would 　48 me tenfold (十倍地).

　 The whole experience made me realize that such a small thing can have a huge 　49 in the long run, as long as the chain isn’t 　50 .
