People always call firefighters(消防员) for help when there is a big fire. Do you think they only need to do many other kinds of strange things.
Firefighters are often called to save people or animals that are trapped(困住). In many countries, there are lots of stories of firefighters saving animals trapped in strange places. For example, several firefighters in England saved a dog trapped in a wheelchair (轮椅) last winter. Also,firefighters often save people trapped in very unusual places. Once some firefighters saved an adult American trapped in a washing machine. They cut up the machine and helped him out in the end.
Sometimes, firefighters also have to save any person in danger ﹣﹣even when the person is doing something wrong or breaking the law(法律).
Firefighters always come to help people in need even at the risk of their own lives. They are heroes in our hearts.

Sleep is very important. A person who does not sleep dies faster than a person who does not eat. We spend about a third (1/3) of our lives sleeping. That’s about 121 days a year!
How much sleep do we need? We are all different. A baby needs 16 hours of sleep every day. Children 6 to 12 years old need an average (平均) of 10 to 12 hours of sleep. Teenagers need 9 to 10 hours of sleep. An adult needs an average of 7 to 8 hours a night. There are some people who need only 3 hours of sleep. Others need 10 hours of sleep. After the age of 50, the average sleep time goes down to 6.5 hours a night. We need less sleep as we get older.
About one in three Americans has a problem with sleep. Many of these people can’t fall asleep. The name of this problem is insomnia. Some people say, “I didn’t sleep all night.” But that’s not really true. They may sleep lightly and wake up several times. In the morning, they only remember the times they were awake (醒着), so they think they were awake all night.
This is not a new problem. Many famous people in history had insomnia. Some of these people had special ideas to make them sleep. Benjamin Franklin had four beds. He moved from one to another to fall asleep. Mark Twain had a different way. He lay on his side (侧卧) across the end of the bed! If you are thirteen years old, you need at least ______ hours of sleep.
A.16 | B.12 | C.9 | D.7 |
What does the underlined word “insomnia” mean in this passage?
A.Being unable to sleep. | B.Good sleep. |
C.Slow sleep. | D.Sleep with many dreams. |
Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A.We will die soon if we don’t sleep well. |
B.The older we get, the less sleep we need. |
C.We can’t tell a person’s age from his sleep time. |
D.Famous people move from one bed to another to fall asleep. |
Which would be the best title for this passage?
A.Sleep More! | B.Go to Sleep! |
C.Sleep Time | D.Famous People |

Gina, who is thirteen years old, got the first prize in the “Young Cook of the Year” competition and is now writing her own recipe (烹饪) book for kids. “I want it to be fun to read and easy enough for children to use,” she says. Gina learned to cook while her father is cooking, who’s a good cook. She wants to encourage other children to cook because “everyone needs to eat, so it’s a skill that will always be useful!”
