Man comes back from the dead
When 35-year-old Australian Ricky McGee set off in his car to drive the 4,800 km from Brisbane to Port Hedland to start a new job, he knew that the journey would not be short However, he did not expect to spend three months of his life alone in one of the harshest areas of Western Australia before he encountered civilization once more
According to Mr McGee, he stopped when he saw three men on the side of the road and gave one of the men a lift The last thing he remembers of the journey was driving up the road, feeling a little dizzy and confused His next memory is waking up face-down in a hole covered with rocks and earth What woke him was the noise of four wild dogs scratching at the rocks to try to get at him
McGee believes that he was drugged and dumped by his passengers, and one fact that supports his claim is that his car has never been found After losing his vehicle, Mr McGee says he walks for ten days, regularly fainting from heat exhaustion through a region virtually uninhabited where temperatures rose daily to over 40oC Eventually, he found a small stream and built a shelter of branches there He says he
would go out just before dark and gathered snakes, lizards, and frogs to eat
(6)Page of which is not far from the truth considering that the 1.9m man weighed in at 45 kg, having lost 59 kg during his absence
At first, police and hospital staff refused to believe Mr McGee’s story, but Les Notarus, medical director of the Royal Darwin hospital, says that his condition fitted perfectly that of a man who had spent weeks in the Outback Dr Notarus said that Mr McGee was very deeply suntanned and his body weight was extremely low for such a tall man His story that he had been driving to Port Hedland to take up the new post has been verified, and when he recovers, Mr McGee may be interested to hear that the position remains vacant
1 Ricky McGee _
A knew the journey would take some time B planned to take a three-month break C went to Port Hedland to meet his former friend D took three months to drive to Port Hedland Mr McGee says he woke up _
A because some animals were trying to rescue him B because some animals were trying to attack him C because he was covered with earth and rock D because the hole was full of water
3 Mr McGee believes that the men he picked up A were well-known thieves
B refused his help
C had always planned to murder him
D gave him something to make him confused
4 The person who first saw McGee walking out of the bush _
A was a local resident B was pleased to see him C was absolutely terrified D did not believe his story In order to survive, McGee had to
A eat snakes, lizards and frogs B drink water from the hole C escape from a shelter D set fires to keep his body warm McGee’s claim about the new job in Port Hedland is
A a lie B probably true C definitely true D a joke Which of the following statements is NOT true about McGee’s story?
A Only one man got in his car
B The weather condition in some areas in Western Australia is mild C The four dogs live in the wilderness
D McGee is much thinner after the 90-day journey to Port Hedland
8 All of the following sentences are evidences that make Dr Notarus believe McGee’s story, EXCEPT
A His condition entirely matched such a situation B He was deeply suntanned
C his weight is much lower compared with his body build D The police believed McGee’s story at first
