(2018·郑州一中高三入学测试) Charlotte Heffelmire was home in Vienna, Virginia, for the Thanksgiving break from the Air Force Academy when she saw that her father had gotten stuck under the pickup truck he'd been working on.

“I was on my back, face up, and I was trying to get some brake lines when apparently the jack (千斤顶) slipped and fell down on me,”her dad,Eric Heffelmire, said.Gasoline spilled (溢出) and caught fire, and he knew he was in trouble.“I thought they'd be pulling out a dead body later in the evening.”

After his struggling for 10 minutes, his barefoot teenage daughter came running into the garage.“I felt the weight shifted, and I said, ‘You almost got it.’and then it was just UGHHHRRR, and suddenly I was pulled out，” Eric said.

Even Charlotte, 120 pounds and five foot six, isn't sure where her power came from.“It was some crazy strength，” she said.

Realizing the burning truck could set her house on fire at any moment, Charlotte jumped into the truck and drove it out of the garage.“I didn't want the entire house to explode with the truck, so I started the truck, and managed to drive it with three wheels remaining，” she said.

Then she went inside the house to grab her baby niece and got her grandmother out of the house too.“I just did what I had to do, so I don't feel like a big hero or anything，” Charlotte said.Her local fire department, the Fairfax County Fire and Rescue Department, felt touched,awarding her the Citizen Lifesaving Award.

(2018·福州市5月适应性考试) Matthew Layton was 20 minutes from home in Sevierville, Ten nessee, on a cold November night in 2016 when he got a cell phone call from his mother.“The mountain's on fire，” she screamed, “and Brian's up there ！”

Layton's family owned a dozen rental cabins (小屋) on Shields Mountain, and Layton's friend and fellow rental－cabin owner, Brian McGee, age 56, was up there trying to put the fire out by himself. Layton, 32, hit the gas. He lived on the mountain too.

Layton turned around and headed for a dirt road.He made it about halfway up the steep, winding path before his front－wheel－drive car gave up.He called Brian, who drove down in his pickup so they could fight the fire together.

They headed first to Layton's rental cabins.“I wanted to make sure our guests were gone.They were，” says Layton.At that point, he had a choice: try to save his cabins or rescue people renting other cabins nearby. “On the mountain, you don't have many locals.They're mostly tourists who don't know their way around，” he says.

Over the next two hours, the two friends drove through the smoky mountain,knocking on doors and leading panicked people to safety.“I know that mountain so well，” Layton says, “I could drive and know exactly where I am.” Thanks to their brave and immediate action, the two helped 14 people out of danger.

Fourteen people died that night in Sevier County.But the fire didn't take away a single life on Shields Mountain. And though his home and business were destroyed, Layton remains calm.“I wasn't worried about my loss, not when I saw those families trapped on the mountain，” he says, “I knew I was gonna help them.”
