Passage 1 Mobile Phone Madness
How much do you love your mobile phone? A Chinese student had to call 110 for help this week after he got
his arm stuck in a toilet trying to rescue (援救) his mobile phone. After dropping his phone in the toilet, he
decided to wrap (包，裹) his arm in newspaper in the hopes of keeping clean. But the newspapers became
larger in size in the water, and then even his roommates couldn"t help him pull his arm out. So policemen were
called and they spent an hour unsticking the stuck student.

wedding for their pet Yorkshire terriers( a kind of dog).
