A simple lunch became a life-saving moment in Virginia Beach. Quick-thinking people and a Navy rescue swimmer saved a woman’s life that day.

Jeremy Way was eating at Bubba’s restaurant when he heard a loud crash. A car had driven into the water. The air was very cold, but Way jumped into the water without hesitation (犹豫).

When Way reached the car, he found a woman trapped inside. She was too scared to open the door. Water filled the car quickly. Other people tried to break the car windows while Way kept encouraging her.

At last, the group got the woman out just before the car sank completely. Way used his rescue skills to swim her to safety. The woman and two helpers were taken to the hospital. No one was seriously hurt.

Way believes there was a deeper reason he happened to be there that day. “I came out to get some lunch,” he said. “I’m a rescue swimmer. I was here for a reason. ‘So others may live’ — it’s our motto (座右铭).”

解析：选B。B 细节理解题。依据文章第二段首句“Jeremy Way was eating at Bubba’s restaurant when he heard a loud crash.”可知，事发时他正在餐厅吃饭。选项A、C、D均未在文中提及，故正确答案为B。

2.2. What did Way do right after seeing the car in water?

A He called the police.

B He ran away quickly.

C He jumped into water.

D He broke the windows.

解析：选C。C 细节理解题。第二段明确提到“The air was very cold, but Way jumped into the water without hesitation.”（天气很冷，但Way毫不犹豫地跳进了水里）。其他选项如报警（A）、逃跑（B）、破窗（D）均不是Way的第一反应，故C正确。

3.3. Why couldn’t the woman open the car door?

A She was too afraid.

B She was too cold.

C She was too tired.

D She was too hurt.

解析：选A。A 细节理解题。第三段指出“She was too scared to open the door.”（她太害怕而无法开门）。原文直接说明了原因，而非寒冷（B）、疲倦（C）或受伤（D），因此A是正确答案。

4.4. How many people went to the hospital?

A One person.

B Two people.

C Three people.

D Four people.

解析：选C。C 数字计算题。第四段末尾提到“The woman and two helpers were taken to the hospital.”（那名女子和两名协助者被送往医院）。因此共有三人送医，选项C正确。

5.5. What can we learn from Way’s words?

A He hates cold water.
