Rescue workers at the San Jose gold and copper mine in northern Chile had reason to sing this week.A small hole drilled into the earth became a passage(通道) to freedom for thirty-three trapped miners.They spent sixty-nine days underground."Never have people been trapped for so long so deeply," says a doctor at NASA, the American space agency, which helped in the rescue.
But the chief medical officer for the miners said most are in good enough health to leave the hospital within a day or so.The first three were released from the hospital Thursday night.
For much of the day the miners relaxed with Chilean President Sebastian Pinera.The thirty-two Chileans and one Bolivian still wore special sunglasses to protect their eyes.
A partial mine collapse(坍塌) on 5th of August trapped them more than half a kilometer underground.They had to stretch a two-day food supply.For two weeks no one knew if they were alive or dead.
Later, they received supplies(供給) and a video link lowered through drill holes.That link was how Ariel Ticona watched his wife give birth to their daughter.
The miners have apparently agreed to share the money they earn from selling their story.
They have already received gifts of money and travel offers.Edison Pena has been invited to the New York City Marathon and to Graceland, the home of Elvis Presley in Memphis, Tennessee.Mr.Pena described how he ran in the mine tunnels to ease the stress.And he led the miners in singing Elvis songs.
The first miner rescued on Wednesday was Florencio Avalos.The second was Mario Sepulveda, who talked about how the experience tested his faith.He said: "I was with God and I was with the devil, they fought me, but God won.He took me by my best hand, the hand of God."
The last miner up was Luis Urzua.He was the shift leader when his crew became trapped.
Rescuers used a metal cage to pull the miners to safety in less than twenty-four hours -- faster than expected.The rescue capsule was a half-meter wide and known as the Phoenix.

Pets are popular. They’re good listeners, they encourage us to exercise, and they’re always on our side when we argue with others. They can bring people comfort and pleasure.
But it is important to keep in mind that pets can carry diseases that can make you sick. Washing your hands often — especially after you touch, feed, or clean up a pet — is the best way to keep yourself healthy and prevent the spread of disease. Be sure to clean your fingernails(指甲)carefully every time you wash.
You also can protect your health by wearing gloves while cleaning animal cages or cat litter boxes. Avoid washing your pet in the bathtub (浴缸), but if you do, always disinfect (消毒) the tub immediately afterward.
Be sure to bring your pet to the hospital for examinations every two weeks or month and whenever your pet is sick or injured.
You can do a few other things to keep yourself and your pet healthy. Only give your pet food that has been planned ahead for them. It’s not a good idea to share your food with your pet. Human food (like chocolate) can make animals sick. Never feed your pet raw meat because it can carry germs (細(xì)菌) that cause serious illness.
And funny as it can be to see your dog or cat drinking from the toilet, don’t let pets do this. It’s bad for your pet’s health! Give them clean, fresh water to drink at all times.
Never give milk to cats. The only milk an animal should drink is from its mother. Cow’s milk is not for pets, especially for cats, as it makes them sick.
Finally, some animals aren’t pets. Don’t take in a wild or abandoned (被拋棄的) animal as a pet because it may have diseases that could make you or your family sick. Instead, turn to an animal rescue group that is trained in helping sick or abandoned animals.
1.The first paragraph mainly tells us that pets can ______.
A.be great friends B.bring us pleasure
C.help us keep healthy D.do harm to us
2.To keep healthy, the author may be against ______.
A.washing your fingernails after touching your pet

A.the cow B.the mother cat

科目:高中英語(yǔ) 來源:2014屆江西省高二上學(xué)期期末考試英語(yǔ)試卷(解析版) 題型:閱讀理解
Have you heard of snake robots? Scientists and doctors are already using tiny snakes that coil through the human body armed with sharp surgical tools to perform operations on hearts, prostate cancer, and other diseased organs. The snake robots that carry tiny cameras, scissors and forceps, and even more advanced sensors are being developed.
The next generation of the robots will be wireless, and will explore inside your body on their own--- not attached to any cables. For now, they are powered by cables that humans control. Experts say the day is coming when some robots will roam around the body on their own. But the experts in robotics say the new creations work best when they are designed for very specific tasks.
Howie Choset has been researching and building robots, particularly snake robots. He believes that his snake robot and others like it can help reduce medical costs by making complex surgery faster and easier. Choset says his new design is smaller and more flexible than earlier models.
The size of surgical robots allows surgeons to operate with far less damage to the body, helping the patient heal faster. Choset has also built larger snake robots designed for search and rescue, or just exploration. They can climb poles and trees and then look around through a camera in the head and slither through places that humans cannot reach.
“ We sent our snake robots into these caves in the Red Sea to look for evidence of ancient Egyptian ships,” he said. “ To me, archeology is like search and rescue, but everyone has been dead for 5,000 years.”
The doctors are very excited about the potential for surgical robots to do things that humans can’t do. The variety of sensors available for surgical robots keeps expanding. As they get smaller, maybe one day they will be able to test chemicals or blood in the body, or even the electrical connections in nerves.
1.What can we learn from the first paragraph?
A.The doctors carry out surgery using snake robots mainly for heart disease.
B.The doctors are very satisfied with the new snake robots during surgery.
C.Snake robots are completely free of human control today.
D.Other supplementary appliances will be added to snake robots.
2.Which of the following is true, according to the passage?
A.Snake robots are only used in the medical field.
B.Snake robots can reduce the patients’ medical costs.
C.Scientists are uncertain about the prospects for snake robots.
D.Scientists are forced to spend a lot of time researching snake robots.
3.How can snake robots work best, according to the passage?
A.When they carry tiny cameras, scissors and forceps.
B.When they are operated by experienced doctors.
C.When they are given a wireless function.
D.When they are designed for particular tasks.
4.Why do we know about Howie Choset, according to the passage?
A.He thought snake robots of different sizes can be used for different types of surgery.
B.He thought patients’ pain had been slightly reduced with the help of snake robots.
C.He also made snake robots for search, rescue and exploration.
D.He is very interested in researching ancient Egyptian ships.
5.The writers attitude towards the new technology is ______.
A.optimistic B.doubtful C.objective D.negative
