Mike McClure walked into Sarasota Bay for a little fishing on a beautiful day last April. This afternoon, the water was shallow enough at low tide that McClure could easily walk 100 yards offshore and cast (Ͷ) his line in any direction.

Near sunset, still without a fish, he decided to turn back. Rather than turn to his earlier course, he chose a more direct path toward shore, thinking the bay wouldn't get deeper along the way. Instead, he was trapped. He tried to walk in different directions, but shallower water eluded (񚨦) him. Finally, he decided his safest choice was to head straight for land.

"Within about five steps, the water was coming in through the top of the waders (¸ßͲ·ÀË®½ºÑ¥)," says McClure.

He felt the deadweight£¨ÖØÎ of the flooding waders pulling him down and knew that if he didn't get out of them, he would drown. But he failed to kick his way out of the waders. Instead, they pulled him completely below the surface.

Back onshore, Eliza Cameron, 19, Loren Niurka Mora, 20, and Caitlin Petro, 20, had been watching McClure fish as they rested on the grass after a long week of classes. They saw McClure go under and then heard him cry, "Help!"

The three friends kicked off their shoes and ran into the bay. They were all good swimmers, but all hid a fear that he might pull them down too because they'd have to dive to save him.

When they reached him, he'd managed to kick himself out of the waders, but his eyes had partly rolled back. Cameron and Mora each hooked (¹³×¡) an arm under his shoulders, while Petro supported his back and held his hand. Then the three friends tried their best to tug (À­) him towards shore. Finally, they all returned to the shore safely.

Mike McClure didn't turn back by his earlier course because      .

     A. he wanted to choose a short course

     B. his earlier course was dangerous

     C. he just wanted to take a risk

     D. he knew where the water was deep

What directly trapped Mike McClure in the bay?

     A. His wrong decision.

     B. The coming high tide.

    C. His waders' being flooded.

    D. The depth of water.

During the rescue,      .

       A. the three women were afraid of being trapped in the water

       B. Cameron and Petro helped catch Mike McClure's arms

       C. the three women removed Mike McClure's waders

       D. Mike McClure still wore his flooding waders

What¡¯s the main idea of this passage?

      A. Enjoy fishing on a beautiful day.

      B. Help others when they are in trouble.

      C.A terrible experience during fishing.

Everyone has done experiments in high school laboratories, but have you ever thought about designing a satellite to explore space?
On Nov. 19, a team of students from Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology in the US awed peers and even scientists by successfully launching a satellite.
The first satellite designed and built by high school students was sent up into space along with a record-setting. 28 other small ones on a rocket were sent from a NASA center in Virginia, CNN reported. It took the students seven years to build.
The students call their tiny satellite TJ3Sat, which is named after their school. It is just 10x10x12 centimeters and weighs only 0.89 kilograms, according to Orbital Sciences, a company which developed the rocket and supported the students¡¯ project. It can be controlled with a smartphone.
Like most satellites, TJ3Sat can send and receive data. The small spacecraft is equipped with a voice synthesizer (ºÏ³ÉÆ÷), which can switch text to voice and transmit those sounds back to Earth over radio waves, said Orbital officials. In this case, anyone can give it a try via the project¡¯s website (school website) by submitting (Ìá½») a text. The texts that get approved will be sent to the satellite, changed to voice and then broadcast back to Earth via radio waves.
¡°I can say ¡®Go Colonials¡¯ on our ground station and when it is on the other side of the world, in India, someone can hear ¡®Go Colonials¡¯over the radio,¡± the team explains on the website.
The satellite will stay in space for at least three months.
School principal Evan Glazer told The Washington Post that the project started in 2006 as an activity in the spare time. Later it became a research project for a select group of seniors.
At a time when American students are busy with SATs, the launch of the satellite shows what diligent teenagers can achieve when allowed to pursue their own curiosities, Glazer said.
¡°It used to be that kids growing up wanted to be an astronaut,¡± Andrew Petro, program executive (Ö÷¹Ü) for small spacecraft technology at NASA, said in a statement. ¡°I think we might be seeing kids saying what they want to do is build a spacecraft. The idea here is that they really can do that.¡±
1. The underlined word ¡°awed¡± in the second paragraph is closest in meaning to ___.

A£®influenced? B£®amazed? C£®delighted? D£®inspired

2. Which of the following statements about TJ3Sat is TRUE according to the article?

A£®It took a group of students about a decade to build the satellite.

B£®Besides TJ3Sat, 28 other small satellites were built by the students.

C£®TJ3Sat can receive text messages that the students send into space, which it can change to voice messages and broadcast back to Earth.

D£®TJ3Sat is expected to stay in orbit for the next year, sending out messages together with information about its position in space.

3. According to the article, the launch of the satellite _______.

A£®is evidence of the advance of spacecraft technology

B£®proves that hard-working teenagers can achieve a lot

C£®shows the importance of extracurricular activities at school

D£®has inspired many people to take an interest in space travel
