The trouble started when Mrs Cady lost control of her car on a mountain road.The car fell down thirty feet from the road into the water.It rolled over once and landed right side up in the rushing water.All three people,Mrs Cady,and her two daughters,were wearing their seatbelts.Luckily,nobody was hurt;however,they couldn’t leave the car.

The rescue(救援)started almost at once.Another driver told the police about the trouble.The police called rescue workers and a truck to pull the car out.The driver of the truck,Paul.arrived first.Immediately(立刻)he took a rope from his truck and began to walk through the rushing water to the car.Then he got caught in the ropes.He went under the water by the ear.Mrs Cady saw him and pulled as hard as she could and brought him to the car door.

Next the other rescue workers arrived.They put on special suits to keep warm.They brought safety ropes,life jackets,and warm blankets.First they pulled the people out of the back window onto the top of the car.Then they swam with each person to shore.They saved Paul,Mrs Cady,and the little girls.

Strange,but the green sea turtle is not that green. It’s certainly not as green as a tree. In fact,its shell(壳)is nearly black or brown.The largest hard-shelled sea turtle is between 200 and 300 pounds heavy and a shell is between 36 and 43 inches(英尺)long.But its head is smaller than other turtles.

Little baby green sea turtles are only two inches long.As the turtle grows up,its shell keeps mostly black while the body turns orange or brown.Young turtles like living in the sea,especially in areas with 1ots of sea grasses.

Green sea turtles,like all sea turtles,are very different from land or river turtles.All sea turtles can swim through the water faster.Instead of feet for walking,sea turtles have flippers(鳍状肢)which are better for swimming.The flippers aren’t good on land,however,and walking is hard for a sea turtle because they are usually big and heavy.

One other interesting thing about a sea turtle’s flippers is that they cannot be pulled into their shells.Land turtles can pull their feet into their shells for protection.but a sea turtle can’t.
