A 16-month-old Georgia boy was thrown three feet into the air after a customer at his father’s jewelry store drove her car through the shop’s front windows．

The accident happened Saturday as the child，Gray Harkleroad，was with his father, Marion，at the family’s store，Harklcroad Diamonds & Finc Jewelry, in Savannah．

Surveillance (监控) video from inside the family-owned store of 26 years recorded the moment Gray ran into his dad’s office．Just seconds later, he was thrown into the air by the car, which had driven through the store’s front entrance and two jewelry showcases before coming to a stop in Harkleroad’s office．

“I saw him kind of buckle back and he flew backwards in the air,” Harkleroad, who was sitting at his desk at the time and suffered bruises, cuts and numbness from being hit by the flying pieces of broken glass，told ABC News．

Also in the store at the time was Harkleroad’s older son Caleb，who came to the rescue of his younger brother．

“By the time I got over my desk and got back to my feet，my 21-year-old son Caleb Harkleroad had already reacted,” Harkleroad said．“I keep saying it over and over but basically he is my hero. He got to my baby before I could．”

Caleb owed it to a higher power that he and his family survived the crash．

“Thankful to God the angels were here，” he said. “Nobody knew who was hurt or what was going on or what happened. It was just chaos.”

The driver was identified by authorities as 84-year-oid Christina Wands，a customer visiting the store to pick up her watch.

“I pulled into the parking space and thought，‘Gee，great，I have a parking space right up by the door,’and I was going to put the brake on and turn the cat off and go in.”Wands told ABCNews. com. today by phone from her home．“I was wearing diabetic shoes and what must have happened is I hit the gas instead of the brake.”

“I couldn’t find the brake,” she said．“That’s what happened．I did not drive my car into the jewelry store．”

Wands was ticketed and charged with careless driving，according to Officer Gena Bilbo with the Savannah Police．She is scheduled to appear in court in January. Her car was totaled in the accident and Wands，who herself was not injured, does not plan to drive again．

The jewelry store is still undergoing construction but reopened for business today, Harkleroad told ABCNews．com．

Clemson University student Nathan Weaver, a 22-year-old senior in Clemson’s School of Agricultural, Forest and Environmental Sciences set out to determine how to help turtles cross the road. He ended up getting to know about the dark side of human nature. It seems that sometimes humans feel a need to prove they are powerful on this planet by taking a two-ton metal vehicle and pressing a defenseless creature under the tires.

Weaver put a realistic rubber turtle in the middle of a lane on a busy road near campus. Then he got out of the way and watched over the next hour as seven drivers changed direction suddenly and deliberately ran over the animal. Several more apparently tried to hit it but missed.

The number of turtles is in slow decline, and one big reason is that many wind up as roadkill while crossing the road, a slow-and-steady trip that can take several minutes.

Weaver wants to figure out the best way to get turtles safely across the road and keep the population from becoming smaller further. He chose a road in a residential (住宅区的) area. He put his rubber turtle in the middle of the lane, facing the far side of the road, as if it was early in its journey across. The second of the 50 cars to pass by that day changed direction suddenly over the center line, its right tires crashing the plastic shell. Other cars during the hour missed the turtle. “One hit in 50 cars is pretty significant when you consider it might take a turtle 10 minutes to cross the road,” Weaver said.

It takes a turtle seven or eight years to become mature enough to reproduce, and in that time, it might make several trips across the road to get from one pond to another, looking for food or a place to lay eggs. A female turtle that lives 50 years might lay over 100 eggs, but just two or three are likely to survive to reproduce, said Weaver.

“They seem so helpless and cute,” he said. “I want to stop and help them. I can’t understand the idea why you would drive to hit something so helpless as a turtle.”

Among the possible solutions: turtle underpasses or an education campaign aimed at teenagers on why drivers shouldn't mow turtles down. He thinks the latter is more important.

40、The underlined part “the dark side of human nature” in the first paragraph most probably refers to .

A．that some people think it is quite exciting to drive fast on the road

B．that some people don’t want to protect endangered animals

C．that some people think it just fun to kill helpless animals

D．that some people show no concern for helping animals

41、One main reason why the number of turtles has declined is .

A．that some drivers deliberately run over them on the road

B．that a turtle needs quite a few years to grow up

C．that a female turtle can only lay two or three eggs in its life

D．that people live nearer in the place where turtles are living

42、From the fourth paragraph, we can know that Weaver was quite about what he saw on the road in a residential area.

A．disappointed B．annoyed C．interested D．satisfied

43、After reading the passage, we can know that the turtle is an animal .

A． which likes going cross a road

B．which lives in different ponds in its life

C．which lives near a residential area

D．which makes trouble on the road
