Passage 2

(2010年广东省惠阳高级中学高三适应性考试B篇)

A British girl on holiday in Florida has been killed by a car on one of the most famous beaches in the world. Ellie Bland, aged four and from Nottingham, was walking down to the water’s edge in Daytona Beach, a Florida resort known for the Daytona 500 motor race. The town is one of the few in America that allows cars to drive on the beach.

John, her great-uncle, said he had been holding Ellie’s hand as they waited to cross the car lane on the beach on Saturday but she took a step ahead of him. A passing Lincoln Town Car driven by Barbara Worley, 66, clipped the girl and knocked her over. As bystanders shouted, the driver apparently hit the accelerator(加速器) instead of the brake and ran the child over.

“The child was walking hand-in-hand in front of her uncle when the child stepped out in front of the car and was struck,” a Florida Highway Patrol spokeswoman said. “Bystanders yelled for the driver to stop as the child lay in front, but for an unknown reason the driver panicked(恐慌) and ran over the child.”

After the accident, it was said that Ms Worley sat “dazed” in her car as police shrouded the child’s body with beach umbrellas. A reporter from WESH local television asked Ms Worley for comment. “I really don’t want to be interviewed,” she replied. Off camera, however, she said she was so sorry for what happened.

Ellie was on her sixth trip to Florida, and was traveling with her five-year-old sister, her great-uncle and aunt and family friends. Her parents had stayed in Britain and were told of her death by telephone. It is understood that they were flying to Florida last night. Ellie’s great-aunt said the girl had suffered from various medical problems, including a heart murmur and a digestive tract disorder. “She was a quiet little girl,” she told the Daytona Beach News Journal. “She’d play in activities at nursery, but she’d rather go off and read a book. It’s unreal,” she added. “It just took her. I can’t believe it.”

A two-year-old boy was killed on a nearby beach 22 years ago when he ran out from between parked cars and was hit by a van. The last car-related death on the area’s beaches happened in 1996 when a 57-year-old woman was hit by a drunk driver traveling at 40mph.
