一、
Firefighters
or firemen play an important role in our daily
life. In some
places,
firefighters
use
watchtowers
to
look
for
smoke
and
fires,
although
they
get
a
fire
report
by
telephone.
A
high
tower
is
still
very
u 67
for
watching and guarding a place. Fire
fighters also make it a place for
practice.
They
learn
how
to
p 68 out
fires
from
burning
buildings.
They
try
to
c 69 up
the
outside
of
the
tower
as
fast
as
possible.
They
carry
water
hoses
up
to
the
fire.
They
practise
carrying
imaginable
victims
down
f 70 high ladders.
There are reasons that firefighters are
called for help. Maybe a building
or
a
forest
is
o 71 fire.
A
train
accident
happens
and
people
are
t 72
inside. Still, people need to be
rescued from floods or an earthquake.
Whenever there
is
an
emergency
situation,
they
can
be
seen
f 73 there.
Being
a
fire
fighter
needs
a
lot
of
t
74
.
In
the
first
place,
firefighters
should
know
how
to
educate
the
community
（社区）
by
visiting
schools, community
centres and people in their own homes to p 75
fire
and
accidents
from
starting.
They
have
to
learn
how
to
deal
with
different
dangerous
situations.
Above
all,
it’s
necessary
for
firefighters
to
exercise every day to be h 76 and
strong.
二、
Man
has a big brain. He can think and s 72
languages. Scientists once
thought
that
man
isn’t
the
same
as
animals
b 73
man
can
think
and
learn.
They know now that
dogs, monkeys and birds can learn, too.
They are beginning to
u 74
that
men
are different from
animals because
they
can
speak.
Animals
can’t
speak.
They
make
much
n 75 when
they
are
afraid,
or unhappy. Apes(
猿
) can
learn some things more quickly than man.
One or two of them have learned a few
words. But they can not join words
to
make
s 76 .
They
cannot
think
l 77 us
because
they
have
no
language.
Language
is
a
wonderful
thing.
Man
has
been
a 78 to
build
a
modern
world
because
he
has
language.
Every
child
can
speak
his
own
language
very w 79
when he is four or five, b 80 no
animals learn to speak.
How do children
learn it? Scientists don’t really know
w 81 happens
inside our
body when we speak. They only know that man can
speak because
he has a brain.
三、
Our dog, Rex,
used to sit outside our front gate and bark. Every
time he
wanted to come into the garden
he would bark u 72 someone opened the
gate. As the
neighbours
complained
of the
noise, my
husband
s 73 weeks
training him
to press his paw on the latch
(
门闩
) to let himself in. Rex
soon became good at o 74 the gate.
H 75 , when I was going out shopping
last week, I n 76 him in the
garden
near the gate. This time he was barking so that
someone would let
him o 77 ! Since
then, he has developed another bad h 78 . As soon
as
he opens the gate from the outside,
he comes i 79 the garden and waits
until the gate shuts. Then he sits and
barks until someone lets him out.
After
this he immediately lets himself in and begins
barking a 80 .
Yesterday my husband
removed the gate and Rex got so
a 81
that he disappeared. Since then, we have not seen
him.
四、
Elizabeth
lived with her six children in a small house. One
winter, there
was
a
big
flood
and
quite
a
f
72
houses
were
washed
away,
but
Elizabeth’s house was high
e
73 to escape it.
Elizabeth
took
in
one
of
the
families
which
had
lost
everything.
She
shared
her
home
until
the
family
could
build a 74
house. Elizabeth’s friends
could not understand w 75 she wanted
to give so much when she already
had so
many children to support.
“Well, ”
Elizabeth
e 76
to her
friends, “at the end of World War I,
there was a poor woman in a town in
Germany. Her husband had been killed
in
the war and she had a lot of children, just like
m 77
now.”
“The day before Christmas, this woman
said to her children, ‘We won’t
be a
78
to have much for Christmas. I’m
going to get just one
p 79
for
us all.
Now
I’ll
go
and
get
it.’ She
came
back
w 80 a
little
girl
who
had
no
parents.
‘Here’s
our
present,
’she
said
to
her
own
children.
The children were more than excited to
get such a present. They welcomed
