　　He always told us we should do more than we ever thought．e pushes us to clod all things better．He coached many sports, and sponsored many after-c-lass a（trinities．If we were interested in something, he would find a Nay’s）T to expose us to it h．y inviting speakers, taking us on field trips, or obtaining information for us．

　　Two years later, my junior year in school was clicking along nicely when one day I way．S riding my motorcycle and I was hit by a car． I spent six days in hospital ankle was at home in bed for two weeks before returning to school．Mr．Walker stopped by the hospital each clay with my work from me teachers． Once．I was at home, he would bring my work too．

　　After high school, I attended the United States Army Airborne School in Fort I3enning, Georgia．I knew my parents woolly be there the day I graduates, but they brought an unsex- pecked guest．'rhea came across Mr．Walker at lunch several days before and told him I was about to graduate．His visit, however, was not a surprise to me．

　　Four schoolchildren from Belgrade, England were out on their bikes on WednesdayThey tried to call the police and ambulance service, but their phones were not working, due to network problems．

　　Before the Polish man became unconscious, the children kept him calm while theyaged down （摺停）a passing driver． The children used words they had picked up from their Polish classmates to translate the injured man's answers to the driver's questions．Gary,

　　10, and his six - year - old sister, Lily, stayed with the man while Thymus and Own-en, both 11, led the ambulance to the spot where he lay． Soon the man was taken to hospital．

　　The fantastic four children who came to the aid of the elderly man deserve the highest respect for their quick - thinking and courage in an emergency situation． They are a credit not only to themselves, but to their families and their school．And it is great to be able to hear such a positive story about young people．

　　What is not so positive about this story is the fact that several adults apparently walked by without stopping to help．This see ruing indifference to an emergency situation is a well noted phenomenon which psychologists sometimes refer to as "the bystander effect"．Re- search suggests that when a group of people witness an emergency, people are likely to as- some that somebody else ~will intervene and they feel that the burden of responsibility is life- ted from their shoulders．

　　Perhaps the answer to this sort．of tiling’s is to introduce a " Good Samaritan"

　　law． This already exists in France and places a legal responsibility on people who witness an emergent- cy situation to help out as long as they can do so．This certainly seems to remove any doubt about who bears the burden of responsibility for of．faring assistance-everyone 29．What can we learn about the elderly man?

　　C．He was taken to hospital by the driver．

　　D．expresses his anger at several adults

　　31．The underlined word "intervene" in Paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to

　　A．be curious

　　B．go on

　　C．give up

　　D．get involved

　　32．In France,

　　if an emergency happens to someone,

　　A．offering help to him is required by law

　　B．people have the right to leave the scene

　　C．others must get permission before helping him

　　D．the witnesses will be punished if the rescue fails

　　A three-mile-long fishhook-shaped piece of land in the middle of Chesapeake Bay, Tangier Island has always been a community set apart from the mainland．

　　These days, the island's 500-plus residents, who mossy use golf cars as transportation on the village's narrow roads and who don't allow the public consumption of alcohol, have managed to preserve their traditional culture．

　　Probably the most striking example of their heritage is the islanders' unique way of speaking．

　　boom on rangier Island,

　　has found out the, reason why the speech of Tangier Island strikes outsider’s as strange．

　　According to S．horse, the dismantlers pronounce their vowels louder and longer, which causes common words to sound different when s．poke by Tangier natives．

　　Some, scholars have said the natives of Tangier speak an old form of English that goes back to the time of Queen F．Elizabeth I．Shores doesn't buy into that thirdly． "It's not Eliza- be than English by any means," he says．" I doubt if anyone could trace it to that, because the variety．is of English at that time were great．"

　　Bruce Gordy, a Tangier native and a former teacher at the island's only school, has made a list of 350 strange expressions and words that he says are used and undertook only by the islanders．But Gordy clones’ think it's the strange vocabulary that puzzles outsiders most when hearing Tangier residents speak．

　　"I think what confuses t．hem is the fact that we are ' talking backwards a lot．,"

　　he say's．

　　He offers an example．"If somebody's stupid, you know what I say?" Gordy says．" I'm saying he's smart, but the way I say it makes everyone know Iran emphasizing he's stud-Both Gordy and Shores believe Tangier's isolation （弧立）has led to the islanders' un- usual way of speaking．

　　Now, the economy of Tangier Island is moving away from its tradition of crabbing anal fishing as the number of crabs and oysters in the bay declines．More residents are finding" Of course the sons and daughters went with their dad out crabbing． You don't go with your dad on the tugboat．That's not going to preserve Tangier culture, "Gordy says．

　　33．According to the text, Tangier Island

　　A．has been discovered recently

　　B．is a fast developing x-pillage

　　C．is a land of golf lovers

　　D．has a small population
