It was rush hour in the morning．Heather Sant，36，was driving her white 2012 Mazda on the road with her nine-year-old daughter and ten-year-old son in the back．Suddenly，a red pickup truck cut them off．Sant turned the wheel hard to the right，sending the Mazda slide off the road and down an embankment（路堤） that ended in a drop-off after about 50 feet．If the car didn't stop，it would take off and dive into the road some 20 feet below．Then a bit of luck：as the car raced toward the edge，its undercarriage got stuck，stopping it suddenly．
   The people inside，however，were far from safe．The car had come to rest on top of a retaining wall（護墻），balancing on the edge of disaster．One sudden move by anyone inside could throw the car off balance and send it over．Jacob Rodriguez watched everything in terror from the nearby truck company where he works．As an experienced sailor，just like every time he met shipwreck，he whispered a sailing saying "Ship，shipmates，self"，then immediately he and four other men ran to the car．They leaped onto the trunk（后備箱） to balance the weight as the terrified kids in the back seat watched．
   Meanwhile，Julio and his nephew Marco，were driving to their jobs at nearby Premier Automotive．Julio jumped out of the car to help while Marco went to the shop，grabbed a strong rope，and returned to the car．He tied the Mazda to an F-350 truck that had been driven over by one of the other rescuers．With the car secured，the group carefully opened the back doors and helped the children out．But their departure shifted the cars weight，causing it to tip forward．The men，still on the trunk，begged Sant to jump into the back seat．She did and then inched out of the back door．Finally，the men carefully got off the trunk．Everyone was safe．
   "Another foot，" Rodriguez told USA Today， "and this would be a different story． "

2．Beijing- The public has responded with vigorous support for an NPC deputy's proposal to extend the Spring Festival holiday from three days to 10.
   More than 78 percent of about 27，600 respondents to a poll on voted in favor of the idea of Li Jing，who is also the mayor of Meishan city in South-west China's Sichuan province.Li said the lunar new year festival holiday was too short for family reunions，especially for the nation's 220 million migrant workers.
   With hundreds of millions of people on the move during such a short time span，the holiday puts great stress on the public transport system and suppresses tourism，she added.She suggested the holiday be extended and cover the three adjacent（毗連的）weekends，which means the public could take a total of 16 days off and floating population could spend the Lantern Festival，which falls on the 15th day of the lunar new year，with their families.
   People would then have sufficient time to fully enjoy the traditional holiday with their families，Li said during an interview with People's Daily Online on Friday.
   Most online voters agreed that extending the holiday will ease the burden on public transport and strengthen family ties. "The Spring Festival is an occasion for family reunions and should be longer than the National Day holiday，" one responder said in an online post. "Every year，I wish I could spend more time at home for the Spring Festival，but I always have to go back to work.I hope the NPC will approve this proposal. "
   Another online comment read： "Extending the Spring Festival holiday could prevent the annual transportation crush，which has in recent years resembled an exodus（出走）of fleeing refugees（難民）".
   Most of the about 13 percent who opposed the idea cited difficulties readjusting to work after the break.Some pointed out that office moral （士氣）was generally low during the first week after the holiday. "After the six-day holiday，many people come back to work feeling absent-minded， " one respondent said.Some who opposed the extension suggested adding the Lantern Festival as an official holiday.
   Another 10 percent said lawmakers should carefully study the impacts before they make any decisions on holidays.

3．Surfing the Internet for fun will make you a better employee，according to an Australian study.
   The University of Melbourne study shows that people who use the Internet for their own reasons at work are about 9 percent more productive than those who do not.Study author Brent Coker said， "Surfing the Internet at times helps increase an employee's attention."
   "People need to relax for a bit to get back their attention，" Coker said on the university's website. "Having a short break，such as a quick surfing of the Internet，helps the mind to rest itself，leading to a higher total Internet attention for a day's work，and as a result，increases productivity（生產(chǎn)效率），" he said.
   According to the study of 300 workers，70 percent of people who use the Internet at work surf the Internet for their own reasons during office hours.Among the most popular surfing activities are searching for information about products，reading online news，playing online games and watching videos. "Firms spend a lot of money on software to block their employees from watching video，using social networking sites or shopping online，" said Coker. "That's not always a good idea."
   However，Coker said the study looked at people who surfed the Internet in moderation（適度），or were on the Internet for less than 20 percent of their total time in the office. "Those who spend too much time surfing the Internet will have a lower productivity than those without，" he said.

（3）Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage as one of the most popular surfing activities？
