Saving Jesse's Arm

    At about 8 p.m. on July 6^th, eight-year-old Jesse was playing in the sea in a National Park near Pensacola. It was the end of a perfect day at the beach with his uncle and aunt.

    Suddenly, a two-meter-long shark(鲨鱼) appeared 1 and it bit off Jesse's right arm from the shoulder. By the time his uncle and aunt pulled Jesse out of the water, he was unconscious (失去知觉的) and had already lost a lot of 2.

    While Jesse's aunt was giving the boy the kiss of life, his uncle ran back into the sea and 3the shark. Amazingly, he managed to catch the shark and pull it out of the water onto the beach, although this might sound impossible. At that moment two park workers arrived to help the family and one of them shot the shark four times in the head. Then he held open the shark's 4while the other worker reached down its stomach and pulled out Jesse's arm.

    A few minutes later, a helicopter (直升机) took the boy and his arm to the nearest hospital, where Dr. Ian Rogers and his team managed to5the arm to Jesse's body again. The operation lasted eleven hours. When the doctors saw Jesse's fingers go pink, they knew the operation had been a6.

    After such a terrible accident nobody believes that good things will happen, but the medical team are hopeful that Jesse will be able to 7 his arm again in the future.

    “Although Jesse's story is terrifying, it would be not correct to think that sharks are always so dangerous. Sharks are usually harmless to human.” Dr. Ian Rogers said. “However, we should be 8for safety and should only swim on beaches where there are lifeguards.”

    It was a cold winter day in 1900. A little boy was walking along the street in London. His name was Jack. That day he couldn't have breakfast or lunch. He wanted to buy some bread, 1he didn't have any money.

    Jack's father died when he was very 2. His mother was often very sick, so she couldn't 3 Jack or his brother. Both of them had to work to help their mother. They worked hard.

    Jack was short but his 4was very big. His wish was to be a great man in the world of film. So he worked very hard to sing and dance. Then one day he had a chance. And he did his best in the film. Many people said excitedly, "We have never seen such a (an) 5film."

    Thirty years later, this boy was one of the most famous people in the world. He made many interesting films. A lot of people 6them.
