18、题 1分，满分 15分） A Long, long ago, when the world was new and the animals could talk, clams were the most talkative of all.

When Bear came down to walk along the beach, one of the clams opened its mouth to tattle（饶舌） on Beaver. But as soon as it did,

23、sand and water ran in. The clam spit out the water. Again it opened its mouth, but as soon as it did, the sand and water ran into it, and all the poor clam could do was spit out the water and close its mouth. Even today, if you walk along the beach at low tide, you might see a little water shooting

29、e-off on January 16. The hero in this remarkable escape was the 57-year-old captain, Chesley Sullenberger.

30、ashington Bridge, and on to the Hudson River, nose-up and at an angle that gave it the best chance. The pilot walked the plane twice after the crash to make sure all of the passengers and crew were safe. “The left engine just blew. Flames were coming out of it and I was looking at it because I was s
