C June came and the hay was almost ready for cutting. On Midsummer’s Eve, which was a Saturday, Mr. Jones went into Willington and got so drunk at the Red Lion that he did not come back till midday on Sunday. The men had milked the cows in the early morning and then had gone out rabbiting, without bothering (麻烦) to feed the animals. When Mr. Jones got back, he immediately went to sleep on the living-room sofa with the "News of the World" over his face, so that when evening came, the animals were still not fed. At last, they could stand no longer. One of the cows broke into the door of the store-house with her horns (角) and all the animals began to help themselves to the grains. It was just then that Mr. Jones woke up. The next moment he and his four men were in the store-house with whips in their hands, whipping in all directions. This was more than the hungry animals would bear. Together, though nothing of the kind had been planned beforehand, they jumped upon their masters. Jones and his men suddenly found themselves being struck with their horns and kicked from all sides. The situation was quite out of their control. They had never seen animals act like this before, and this sudden uprising of creatures whom they were used to beating and whipping just as they chose, frightened them. After only a moment or two they gave up trying to defend themselves. A minute later all five of them were in full fright down the road, with the animals running after them joyfully. What is the best title for the story
A. Midsummer’s Eve.
B. A Bad Sunday.
Cows and their Masters.
D. The Rebellion of the Cows.

E Kristy, 28, a cook in La Gross, often wondered what she’d do in a life-threatening situation. On August 29, 1997, she got her answer. While she was driving on a road, a big truck hit its head on a pickup car. The pickup burst into flames. Kristy rushed out and ran to the pickup. Two farmers, Dean Bernhard, 51, and his brother Donald, 44, were inside. When she got close, Kristy could see the unconscious driver. "The other man was under the passenger seat." Said Kristy, "The smells were sickening. I was afraid the truck would blow up and kill us all." The driver of the big truck was struggling to open the passenger door. So Kristy rushed to the driver’s side. Finally they opened the door. She reached in, seized the driver, to the horror, felt her hands sink into his chest. She quickly dragged the man to safety on the roadside, then hurried back. As Kristy stared down the ditch (水沟) with the passenger, the pickup blew up. She jumped on top of him and they both rolled to safety. When the police arrived a while later, Kristy started crying, "I want my mum." In fact she cried for the net three months. Today, the two farmers, each the father or two chlidren, are good friends with Kristy. To show their deep appreciation, they bought her a ring with nine diamonds one for each member of their immediate families, and the ninth for her.
