Baseball gave him his earliest challenge. He was an excellent players in Little League. At graduation, the coach named Daniel the team’s most valuable player.
His finest hour, though, came at a school science meeting. He entered an exhibit explaining how the circulatory system works. It was traditional, especially compared to（与…相比）the modern, computerized, blinking-light models entered by other students. My wife, Sara, felt embarrassed for him.
It turned out that the other kids had made their exhibits. As the judges went on their rounds, they found that these other kids couldn’t answer their questions. Daniel answered every one. When the judges awarded the Albert Einstein Plague for the best exhibit, they gave it to him.
By the time Daniel left for college he stood six feet tall and weighed 170 pounds. He was in superb condition, but he quit baseball for English literature. I was sorry that he would not develop his athletic talent, but proud that he had made such a satisfactory decision.
One day I told Daniel that the great failing in my life had been that I didn’t take a year or two off to travel when I finished college. This is the best way, to my way of thinking, to broaden oneself. Once I had married and begun working, I found that the dream of living in another culture had disappeared. Daniel thought about this. After graduation, he worked as a waiter at college, a bike messenger and a house painter. With the money he earned, he had enough to go to Paris.
The night before he was to leave, I tossed in bed. I was trying to figure out something to say. Nothing came to mind. Maybe, I thought, it wasn’t necessary to say anything. 28. How can we describe little Daniel? A. He was thin and tall. B. He was slow in his study. C. He was good at basketball D. He got on well with his classmates. 29. Why was Daniel’s mother upset about his exhibit?
A. Because it was not to the taste of the judges. B. Because it was computerized. C. Because it was designed by his father. D. Because it was attractive. 30. How did the author feel about the major（专业）Daniel chose at college? A. Angry. B. Satisfied. C. Disappointed. D. Astonished. 31. What can we infer according to Paragraph 6? A. Daniel will study in Paris. B. Daniel dropped out of college.
C. What the author said impressed Daniel greatly.
D. Daniel worked hard to pay off the money he borrowed.
D
It is interesting to see that the force of only 6 or 7 people pushing in the same direction can cause up to 1,000 pounds of force-enough to break brick walls. During a deadly stampede(逃奔), people can even die standing up. People die when pressure is put to their bodies in a front to back direction, causing them not to be able to breathe.
If you are in a crowd, the first and most important thing is to make yourself familiar with your surroundings and find different exits. No matter where you are, make sure you always know how to get out.
Make yourself aware of the type of the ground you are standing on, and know that in a crowd of moving people wet ground can cause you to fall.
When in danger, a few seconds can make a difference, giving you the possibility of making use of your escaping route. Always stay closer to the escape route. If you find yourself in the middle of a moving crowd, do not fight against the pressure, do not stand still or sit down, because you can easily get trampled（踩踏）. Instead, move in the same direction of the crowd; make use of any space that may open up to move sideways to the crowd movement where the
flow is weaker.
Keep your hands up by your chest, like a boxer-it gives you movement and protects your chest. If you fall, get up quickly. If you can’t get up because you are injured, get someone to pull you up. If you have kids, lift them up.
If you fall and cannot get up, keep moving in the same direction of the crowd, or if that is not possible, then cover your head with your arms; do not lie on your stomach or back. 32. In a stampede people may die standing up mainly because_______.
A. they can’t breathe freely B. they push in the same direction C. they are not able to get up D. they aren’t familiar with the surroundings 33. What does the word deadly underlined in the first paragraph probably mean?
A. harmful. B. shocking. C. deathly D. hateful. 34. When in danger, to make a difference, you should______.
A. fight against the pressure B. stand still where you are C. sit down covering your head D. move along the escape route. 35. In the passage the write mainly wants to tell us _______.
A. how to stay far away from a crowd B. what to do when you are in a crowd C. where to go when you are in danger D. how to get along with a big crowd 第二节 （共5 小题；每小题2分，满分10分）
