She was preparing some food in her western New York home on Lake Ontario on Monday morning. As she was washing something near the kitchen sink, the spoon she washed happened to drop onto the floor of her kitchen, so she bent down to pick it up. Just then her house exploded. The explosion destroyed her home in the Wayne County town of western New York. Everything in the house was badly damaged, but Joy Horton wasn’t seriously injured. She crawled out from underneath the broken bricks and walked to her daughter’s home nearby to get help. Fire officials said no people were injured besides Joy Horton in the explosion. Because Horton was bending down when the explosion happened, the kitchen sink and counter top helped keep the broken things from hitting her. Horton had only small injuries. The police haven’t found out what caused the explosion. They’re still looking into the cause.。

I teach children French.W: Great. Do you live far from the school? I mean, how do you usually go to work?M: Well, mostly by car. But once in a while, I prefer to ride my bike. You know, I live quite far from the school, about 20 miles away. And I have to spend about an hour riding to school. But it only takes me less than a quarter of an hour to drive my car, unless the traffic is very bad.W: I see. Does this happen often? I mean the bad traffic.M: Yes, sure! I often get stuck on the way, and the problem’s getting worse and worse.W: That’s all of my questions. Thank you very much.M: You are welcome.(Text 9)M: What do you want to make for dinner?W: I think I will make some steaks for dinner.M: Then we have to buy some steaks.

Why do you want to smoke so much?M: No, it’s not for me. It’s for Mr Chen and his friends tonight.W: That makes me feel better but anyway cigarettes are terrible for health.M: I know. I’m quitting them.W: Don’t you think we should buy some vegetables and ice cream for dessert?M: That’s good. Let’s go now.W: OK.(Text 10)To the firemen’s surprise, dropping a spoon may have saved Joy Horton’s life. The 73-year-old woman has been living alone. She was preparing some food in her western New York home on Lake Ontario on Monday morning. As she was washing something near the kitchen sink, the spoon she washed happened to drop onto the floor of her kitchen, so she bent down to pick it up. Just then her house exploded.The explosion destroyed her home in the Wayne County town of western New York. Everything in the house was badly damaged, but Joy Horton wasn’t seriously injured. She crawled out from underneath the broken bricks and w alked to her daughter’s home nearby to get help.Fire officials said no people were injured besides Joy Horton in the explosion. Because Horton was bending down when the explosion happened, the kitchen sink and counter top helped keep the broken things from hitting her. Horton had only small injuries. The police haven’t found out what caused the explosion. They’re still looking into the cause.。
