tes apart and 14 weeks premature, weighing just over two pounds each. Doctors had tried to save the boy for 20 minutes but saw no improvement. His heartbeat was nearly gone, and he39。d stopped breathing. The baby had just moments to live. I saw him gasp (喘息), but the doctor said it was no use, Kate told the Daily Mail five years later. I know it sounds stupid, but if he was still gasping, that was a sign of life. I wasn39。t going to give up easily. Still, the couple knew this was likely a goodbye. In an effort to cherish her last minutes with the tiny boy, Kate asked to hold him. I wanted to meet him, and for him to know us, Kate told Today. We39。d resigned ourselves to the fact that we were going to lose him, and we were just trying to make the most of those last, precious moments. Kate unwrapped the boy, whom the couple had already named Jamie, from his hospital blanket and asked David to take his shirt off and join them in bed. The firsttime parents wanted their son to be as warm as possible and hoped the skintoskin contact would improve his condition. They also talked to him. We were trying to persuade him to stay, Kate told the Daily Mail. We explained his name and that he had a twin that he had to look out for and how hard we had tried to have him. Then something miraculous happened. Jamie gasped again173。and then he started breathing. Finally, he reached for his father39。s finger. The couple39。s lost boy had made it. We39。re the luckiest people in the world, David told Today. Eight years later, Jamie and his sister, Emily, are happy and healthy. The couple only recently told the kids the story of their birth. Emily burst into tears, Kate said. She was really upset, and she kept hugging Jamie. This whole experience makes you cherish them more.(1)What can we learn about the newborn babies?

For a casual onlooker, this might be a very sad sight. But for Andy, it39。s a real treasure. I39。ve been a junk hoarder (囤積者) for my whole life and I like fixing up what shouldn39。t be thrown away. Around 200 old cars end up in this junkyard every week. Some of them are sold for parts, others get repaired, and still others are beyond repair. His father Bobby started the business some 50 years ago and still spends every morning there. The father and son have very different approaches to their work. They got a Dean cab that was getting thrown away and that was the father39。s project, which Andy did not want him to do. He did basically the opposite of everything I told him and I think he did it just to make me mad. He dumped a ton of money into this car, but in the end it wouldn39。t run. Andy said jokingly. The unusual family business attracted the attention of a TV crew. That39。s how the show Janka Empire came to be featured on a network of the Discovery Channel. This show, five years of shooting, five seasons and 60 episodes (集), is popular. There are hundreds of junkyards throughout the United States. I think what39。s interesting is that it is a family business. My father and I started the business and we joke very well back and forth and I think that39。s what people like. The cars that end up at the junkyard e out with endless surprises. See, this was a junk car and we restored it with a blown motor. Yet I don39。t get a chance to ride around it too often. Because despite its shining appearance, the noise of the engine is truly deafening and I worry my neighbors will not put up with it.(1)What does Andy seem to like about his junkyard? A.It is very large.B.It may be a bad sight.C.It is amazing and valuable.D.It is his life dreamland.(2)What can we infer from the one Dean cab case? A.The father is ready to follow his son39。s advice.B.The son is impatient and fed up with his father.C.The father and son get on well with each other.D.The father and son often disagree with each other.(3)Why is the show Janka Empire popular? A.There are hundreds of junkyards in the United States.B.Bobby and Andy run their family business in an unusual way.C.The show is a series of 5 seasons and 60 episodes.D.Bobby and Andy can make the junk car attractive.(4)Which of the fo
