Donald was shaken by thunder on the bed before he could count “one thousand one〞. Then he heard the smoke alarm go off. He went downstairs quickly to investigate. When he opened the door to the basement (地下室), flames exploded out.
Donald fled (逃) back upstairs to call 911 but the phone didn’t work. When he tried to go downstairs, he was stopped by a wall of flames. He had to use a towel to cover his mouth. His house was three miles off the main road and so well hidden by trees that Donald knew calling for help would be useless. Actually, he didn’t even try to do that.
About one mile away lived Donald’s closest neighbor, Jeremie. When he heard some sounds, Jeremie jumped out of bed, holding a phone and a flashlight, and went towards the noise. He dialed 911 the instant he saw the flames. When he came close to the house, Jeremie knew he’d better wait until rescuers came. But he didn’t want Donald to die in the fire.
Without hesitation, he rushed into the house. He shouted, “Donald, where are you?〞Then he had to run outside to catch his breath. After one more attempt, he gave up and circled around back. He saw Donald on the second-floor balcony, but there was no way to get to him. Suddenly, he noticed a ladder. He dragged it over to the balcony and pulled Donald down just when the second floor fell down.
Within the year, Donald built a new two-story wood house at the site of the fire. Jeremie and Donald don’t run into each other regularly, but Don ald knows that if he ever needs help, Jeremie will be there.

Like many grandparents, Irving Winson regularly looks after his grandchildren. So when the Red Cross put on a special child-centered course for older carers, he couldn’t wait to apply for it. Irving, who has six grandchildren aged under 12, was just one of many grandparents attending the busy first aid session in Royal Wootton Bassett, Wiltshire. He said, “My wife is a nurse, so I’ve always relied on her to act in an emergency. But there are occasions when she’s out and I’m left looking after the kids by myself. Having some first aid skills means I’ll know what to do if anything bad happens.〞
The everyday first aid course covered basic skills such as dealing with burns, fractures (骨折) and bleeding injuries. It also covered what to do if a child or baby started choking. Irving said, “Recently, my youngest grandson, who’s just 12 months old, swallowed a small part of a toy. Luckily, he didn’t choke and was still able to breathe, but he couldn’t eat and had a strange cough for a while. Finally, the doctors removed it. However, it made me think ‘what if that had happ ened when I was looking after him and he had started to choke?’ Before taking this course I wouldn’t have known what to do.〞
Jo Riches, a first aid trainer, said, “We felt it was important to hold a course specifically for grandparents as more and more are responsible for caring for their grandchildren while parents return to work.〞Irving said, “I took a first aid course many years ago, but the techniques have changed over the years. This one was so easy and made it simple to master the key skills. I feel I could respond to an emergency now if I have to.〞

B. looking after kids at home is not simple
C. it is very important to take the first aid course
D. kids can easily choke after swallowing something

She has wiped your nose, packed countless lunches, driven you to piano lessons, cleaned your favorite jeans, seen you through college and given you sound advice more times than you can count. On Mother’s Day — th e one day a year that is truly about “mom〞, don’t take her out to a crowded, noisy and overpriced restaurant. Show your mom that you really put some thought into her special day and host brunch (早午餐) in her honor.

Food is obviously the major part of brunch, but there are nice decorative things you can add to
help make the occasion more memorable. Decorate the room or table with photos of mom with her kids or grandkids. A simple, fresh bunch of flowers will liven up (使活跃) any table and it will also make a great gift for mom as a memento of her wonderful brunch.

第二节〔共5小题；每一小题2分，总分为10分〕
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最优选项。

选项中有两项为多余选项。

Your college roommates will probably be the first people you will share a home with besides your family. 16 You probably have responsibilities that you know you have to shoulder,
but you don’t have to worry about things like rent, bills and other issues. If you can deal with the most common roommate problems in an effective way, you may end up with friends for life.
● Food
Are you planning on sharing food or having separate supplies? 17 If you decide to have your own separate food, split up (分开) the refrigerator and cabinet space. Sharing food can save you some mo ney because you will probably buy less of each item and won’t have to throw away much food if it goes bad.
● Bills
18 It is important that you and your roommates find a method for paying the bills. One way to do this is to have each roommate be responsible for a separate utility (公用事业) bill. That way, one person isn’t stuck with all the financial (财务的) responsibility.
● Guests
College roommates should always have a guest policy. Before you move in together, sit down and have a discussion about your expectations as roommates. 19 You are probably going to have to set some basic rules if your roommate is a party animal. Set specific rules that you can both agree on. Write down the rules and stick to them.
● Noise
If your roommate is trying to study for a final exam, he or she probably won’t appreciate you making your heavy metal music in the next room. 20 Sharing a living space is all about compromises (折中), so be prepared to make some sacrifices (牺牲). Too much noise can put all of you into unnecessary trouble.
A. Nothing causes arguments like money does.
B. Living at home with parents is very different.
C. Are you someone who values quietness and privacy (隐私)?
D. Some of the biggest problems come from disagreements about cleaning.
E. Set rules about how late music can be played and how loud the television can be.
F. This is an important thing that you have to decide from the very beginning.
G. The best way to overcome these differences is to set up a weekly cleaning schedule.
