C Even now, almost a year after their astonishing act of group heroism, the dozens of people who risked their lives to save two boys from drowning in Panama City Beach, are still remembered. The story began on July 8, 2017. Members of the Ursrey family, eight in total, were enjoying an evening together at the beach. As the sun sank lower on the horizon（地平線） , the two boys—Noah, 11, and Stephen, 8—took their skateboards and walked into the waves without the grownups noticing. When the boys were about 70 yards from shore, they realized that the ocean pulled them out to sea. After trying and failing to paddle（涉水） back, they started waving and screaming for help. But the lifeguards had clocked out for the evening. The boys had been struggling for several minutes when Brittany and Tabatha Monroe, a married couple from Geia, wandered by. They didn’t see the boys at first, but they heard them. They jumped into the water and easily reached the brothers, who were still in fairly shallow water. The woman reassured the frightened boys and seized their skateboards, telling them they would be safe and then discovered that they, too, were now in a world of trouble. They couldn’t get back to shore and could barely and only occasionally hit the sandy bottom with their feet. After a few minutes, it was clear to the woman that they were all trapped in a terrible whirlpool. Then scores of tourists were walking to them, hand in hand, forming a line.

A. It appeared calm on the surface. B. It was very deep. C. It was mixed with sand. D. It moved fast. 31. What made the four persons in the sea escape the risky situation? A. Team spirit. B. Confidence. C. Good luck. D. Bravery. D You may be surprised to learn that English gets 30 to 45 percent of its words from French. The reason goes back to the year 1066, when Norman forces invaded（入侵） what is now Britain. The Normans were from northern France and spoke French. During the Norman occupation, French became the language of England’s rulers and wealthy class. This lasted for more than 300 years. Other people in England continued to speak English during this period. Over time, the two languages bined and shared words. Some researchers believe that about 10,000 French words eventually entered the English language. However, although English took many French words, their meanings have not always stayed the same. Sometimes the differences in
