So prepare yourself now. The good

33、 news is that you can escape a sinking vehicle. But youve got to be quick. According to The University of Manitobas Gordon Geisbrecht, who trains law compulsion officers and other people on underwater-vehicle escape, a person has about a minute to get out alive. Here are his five rules of survival.

34、Rule 1. Dont call 911 until you are out of the car. Youre going to need every second to get out of that vehicle. Worry about calling 911 once youve made it out alive. “Time is critical,” says Geisbrecht. “If you touch your cell phone youre probably going to die.” Rule 2. Unlock the safety belt. Rule

35、 3. Dont open the door! Roll down the window instead. Opening the door is very difficult against the water pressure and it also allows so much water into the vehicle that it will speed up the sinking process. Youll have 30 seconds to a minute until the water rises to the bottom of the passenger wind

36、ows. This is what Geisbrecht calls the floating period. Remember to break the window. Since most vehicles these days have electronically controlled windows, the circuits(电路) probably will short before you have a chance to roll them down. In that case, youll need a tool to break the window open. “Mak

37、e sure these tools are within reach at all times,” says Geisbrecht. “And a pair of work gloves is needed otherwise you will cut your hands. Above all, youve got to act quickly.” Rule 4. Children first. Children are going to have a harder time fighting through the rush of water, so push them out if y

38、ou have to. Geisbrecht suggests starting with the oldest kids and taking the youngest out in your arms. Rule 5. Get out. Swim through the broken window as fast as possible. If youve failed to get that window rolled down or broken, you will have the slightest of chances to escape. Once water fills th

39、e car, the pressure will be equalized and you will be able to open the door. But to do this, you will have to be expert at holding your breath in an extremely stressful situation. Geisbrecht says that unless youre a modern-day Houdini, the chances are pretty slim. 55. You are not supposed to call 91

40、1 before you get out of a sinking car because _. A. 911 always cant arrive on time B. 911 is of little help in getting you out of the car C. every second counts when you try to get out of the car D. making a phone call may set off an explosion when a car is in water56. In most cases you have to brea

41、k the window using a tool but not to roll it down because _. A. the tools are within easy reach all the time. B. you have no time to roll the window down. C. it is much easier to break the window than to roll it down. D. the electronically controlled window is likely to be damaged by water. 57. Acco

42、rding to the passage, which statement is TRUE? A. It is better to wear gloves when you try to break the windows. B. In water, it is easier to roll down the window than to break it. C. When in the sinking car, parents should push the youngest kid out of the car first. D. It takes more than one minute

A magician who is good at escaping in difficult situations. C. A swimmer who won gold medal in Olympic Games. D. A

44、 robber who is able to break all kinds of windows. CWang Cheng, 20, an English major student at Xiamen University, remembered vividly how he was overwhelmed by the size of the campus when he first arrived. His only solution was to ask for help from his roommates or upperclassmen, but now he has an a

45、lternative - he turns to apps on his smartphone, like he does to solve many problems in his daily life. Wangs secret weapon is a mobile application called baodating, which offers various kinds of information that makes campus life easier. Using such applications has been a trend in universities since 2012. Not only do freshmen use it to familiarize themselves with their university, but almost every student regards it as a lifestyle. Wang uses baodating to check his class schedule, class results and lecture information.
