摘要： It may be inferred from the passage that . A. the ditch was along a quiet country road B. the accident happened on a clear warm day C. the police helped Mr. Johnson get out of the ditch D. Mr. Johnson had a tender wife and was well attended C For thousands of years humans have used herbs, roots, and other things from nature to cure disease. Scientists looking for new cures often visit traditional healers. They find out what plants are used in healing. Then they look at what the plant contains. They find the active ingredient, which is the chemical in the plant that works to heal. Many of the drugs we use, including aspirin, have come from these natural medicines. In recent years, many people in the US have taking what are legally known as dietary supplements. They may be vitamins or minerals. They may be herbs that help with health problems, such as depression. Some of them are teas. Others are capsules or tablets. They are sold in natural food stores, drug stores, and groceries. Most people think that because these products are natural they are also safe. This is not always true. There are many plants that are poisonous. There are others that have bad side effects. The New England Journal of Medicine publishes medical research. A recent edition called for the government to regulate dietary supplements. Several doctors wrote to the Journal and told of bad experiences people have had with dietary supplements. Dietary supplements aren't tested in the same way as drugs. There is not always proof that the supplement really does what it is supposed to do. There is also a problem with purity of the supplements. Supplements have been found to contain things that are bad for the body. For example, the California Department of Health found that of 260 herbs grown in China, one third contained heavy metals. These are minerals such as lead and mercury. They are very poisonous, even in tiny amounts.

       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.
       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 jumped out of the ditch."
       His hands and arms cut and bruised (擦伤), Mr. Johnson got to Beckett Farm nearby, where he was
looked after by the farmer's wife, Mrs. Lucy Bates. Huddled 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.
