Alexis, 17, sat quietly in the passenger seat of her dad’s car. She let her eyes lazily scan the landscape for wildlife. Then a deer came into view about 200 yards in front of them. “Dad, there’s a deer there!” Alexis said. It was a male deer with sharp antlers (角) on each side of its head.

As the car moved closer, Alexis saw that the deer’s head was bent toward the ground. Then she heard a scream and saw an arm fly up near the deer’s head. Alexis realized the deer was attacking a woman. Sue, a 44-year-old mother, had been out for her morning run. The deer followed her and edged closer. “I knew I was in trouble.” Sue says. She went to pick up a stick for self-defense, and the deer charged. It lifted her with its antlers and threw her into the air. Sue could feel blood flew down her leg. Within seconds, the deer had pushed her off the road.

When Alexis and her father pulled up, the deer was throwing Sue like a doll. Alexis looked into the woman’s terrified eyes, and before her father had even stopped the car, the teenager jumped quickly out of the car and ran toward the deer. “I was kicking it to get its attention.’’ she says. Then her father, who had followed his daughter, pushed the deer away from the women.

Alexis helped Sue into the car and then applied a piece of cloth to Sue’s injured leg. “We’re going to get you to a hospital.” Alexis said. Then she heard her father shout loudly. He had been knocked to the ground. Alexis took hold of a hammer from the car and ran to where her father lay on his back. She beat the deer’s head and neck, but the blows didn’t scare it away. “I was losing faith.” she says. “A couple more strikes. Alexis.” said her father. “You can do it.”

Turning the hammer around, Alexis closed her eyes and beat the deer’s neck with all her strength. When she opened her eyes, the deer was running away.

Alexis got in the driver’s seat and sped toward the nearest hospital. After Sue was treated, she tearfully thanked her rescuers. “You expect a teenage girl to get on the phone and call for help,” she says, “not to beat up a deer.”

1.What was Sue doing when she was attacked by the deer?

A. She was driving home.　　 B. She was resting on the road.

C. She was taking exercise.　　 D. She was feeding wild animals.

2.What did Alexis do to save Sue?

A. She pushed the deer away.　　 B. She hit the deer with her feet

C. She drove the car to hit the deer.　　 D. She beat the deer with a hammer.

3.Which of the following words can best describe Alexis?

A. Strong.　　 B. Cruel.

C. Energetic.　　 D. Brave.

4.What is the best title for the passage?

A. A Woman Was Seriously Injured

B. A Dangerous Deer Attacked a Woman

C. A Girl Rescued Her Father Successfully

D. A Teenager Saved Others from a Deer Attack

Wanda Butts dropped the phone and screamed when she heard the news that her son was dead.

Josh had drowned (溺亡) while sailing on a lake with friends. The 16-year-old didn’t know how to swim, and he wasn’t wearing a life jacket.

Josh was not alone in the black community. According to USA Swimming, 70% of African-American children cannot swim. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention African-American children between the ages of 5 and 14 are three times more likely to drown than white children in the same age range.

In 2007, Butts started the Josh Project, non- profit that provides low-cost swimming lessons for children in Toledo, Ohio. The swimming lessons take place at a local high school over four Saturdays for a total cost of $10.

To date, the Josh Project has helped more than 1,000 children learn how to swim.

“The public pools near our home were closed, and other places were not affordable,” said Lisa Haynes, whose 14-year-old son, Joshua, is one of 60-plus students in the Josh Project this summer.

“I am less worried if Joshua is near water because he has the basics of how to swim,” Haynes said. “And we’re thankful for that.”

Butts is doing much more however, than just providing swimming lessons.

“She ups the awareness,” said Shaun Anderson, swimming coach who was so inspired by her story that he created a Josh Project swimming program at Norfolk State University. “Once these communities learn how to swim, they will pass it down, which results in future generations( that know how to swim.”

Butts said she has two wishes for the future: One is to change the drowning numbers of African-American children, and the other is to have a swimming center where the children can swim daily instead of just once a week.

1.What led to Josh’s drowning?

A.He was poor in boating skills. B.He gave his life jacket to a friend.

C.He was never taught swimming skills. D.He was careless when swimming in the lake.

2.Why did the author list the numbers in Paragraph 3?

A.To show children under 14 are more likely to drown.

B.To argue children should learn swimming at a very young age.

C.To show many African-American children lack swimming skills.

D.To introduce the difference between African-American and white children.

3.What can we lean about the Josh Project?

A.It has its own swimming pools. B.It provides lessons only in summer.

C.It serves children aged from 5 to 14. D.Its swimming lessons take place once a week.

4.What did Lisa Haynes think of the swimming lessons the Josh Project provides?

A.Expensive. B.Helpful. C.Interesting. D.Difficult.
