【正文】 ar (索道纜車) at the Arapahoe Basin Ski Area in Keystone, Colorado, along with his friends Billy Simmons and Hans Mueller. Their friend Richard had been on the cable car ahead of them, but when the men reached the top of the lift, he had disappeared. The men walked toward the source of the scream and found skiers stopped on the slope, pointing to the cable car. And then the friends screamed too. Oh, Richard! yelled Mueller. When Richard had tried to jump off the cable car, his backpack had been caught in the chair, which then dragged him back down the hill. In the process, the backpack belt twisted around his neck, making him breathless. Now Richard39。s body was swinging four feet above the snow. The cable car operator had quickly stopped it, and the friends kicked off their skis and ran toward the scene. They made a human pyramid to try to reach Richard, but the unconscious man was too far off the ground. With the clock ticking, Wilson ran to the ladder of a nearby lift tower. Scared skiers watched as he struggled the 25 feet. After he reached the top, Wilson39。s first challenge was to climb onto the twoinch steel cable that held the chairs. He handled the balance and height bravely, but he knew he could not walk on the cable. Therefore, he calmed down and sat over it and then used his hands to pull himself to Richard quickly. Wilson39。s greatest fear wasn39。t that he39。d fall, but that he wouldn39。t reach Richard. This was life or death, he said. When he reached Richard39。s chair, Wilson swung a leg over the cable and attempted to drop down onto it. But as he did that, his jacket caught on the movable footrest, which was in the up position. The footrest began to slide down, with Wilson attached. But before that could happen, he managed to free himself and reached Richard. Fortunately, the ski patrol (巡查) had gathered below and performed emergency treatment on Richard, who had been hanging for about five minutes, then skied him down to an ambulance. That night, Richard called from the hospital to express his thanks to Wilson, his other friends and the workers at the Arapahoe Basin Ski Area.（1）What happened to Richard when he tried to jump off the cable car?

It was a strange place. Martin and Tom wished that they had not accepted Jack39。s dare. They liked camping, but not near this swamp. So, Martin asked as they sat watching the hot coals. How did this place get its name? Are you sure you want to hear it? It39。s a scary story, warned Jack. Of course! cried out Tom. If there were anything to be scared of, you wouldn39。t have chosen this place! Ok, but don39。t say I didn39。t warn you, said Jack, and he began this tale. Way back in time, a man called Dennis tried to start a farm here. He built that cottage over there to live in. In those days, the area looked quite different—it was covered with tall trees and the swamp was a crystalclear river. After three hard years, Dennis had cleared several fields and planted crops. He was so proud of his success that he refused to listen to advice. 39。You are clearing too much land,39。 warned one old man. 39。The land is a living thing. It will hit back at you if you abuse it. 39。 39。Silly fool,39。 said Dennis to himself. 39。If I clear more land, I can grow more crops. I39。ll bee wealthier. He39。s just jealous!39。 Dennis continued to chop down trees. Small animals that relied on them for food and shelter were destroyed. He was so eager to expand his farm that he did not notice the river flowing slowly towards his door. He did not notice salt seeping to the surface of the land. He did not notice swamp plants choking all the native plants. What happened? Martin asked. It was growing colder. He trembled, twisting his body closer to the fire. The land hit back—just as the old man warned, Jack shrugged. Dennis disappeared. Old folks around here believe that swamp plants moved up from the river and dragged him underwater. His bod
