Every child has a dream of what they want to be, right? When Renee Butts was little, her dream was to bee a volunteer fireman because her father was one. Sadly, when she was 14, her father died and she was never able to volunteer with him. Renee’s story doesn’t end there, however, which is why I think of her as a true hero. She was strong-minded and never gave up, which makes her a good fireman.
Some days she must be ready for deal with any emergency(紧急情况), like fighting a fire, dealing with a car accident or helping someone who’s sick. Other days she is in the driver’s
seat. Sometimes Renee works nine to eleven days a month, during these days she keeps working
for 24 hours. She also has a family to take care of. Her husband is a fireman, too.
Renee remembers the first time she fought a fire. She was awoken early in the morning
by the alarm(报警器). She said she was very nervous but she also did what she had to do.
When I asked Renee what the best part of her job is, she replied, “Helping people and saving their lives.” I think that shows signs of being a true hero. She’s always glad
to do anything for anyone in need. With 140 people in her station, Renee is one of the only three women.
I think she’s great. We could never live happily without people like her who is glad
to help others. What Renee does makes me believe that I can do something. I hope someday
to be just like her, to wake up and help people every day.

The rockets take astronauts and man--made satellites(人造卫星) into space. The satellites are used for munication, weather monitoring and research. But how do satellites stay up without falling down?
There are two opposites forces acting on the satellite. One of them is the force of gravitation(地心引力), which tries to pull the satellite towards the earth. The other force
is created by the rotation of the satellite around the earth. This force tries to take the
satellite away from the earth. With these two forces, the satellite goes round and round. The gravitational pull of the earth(the force which pulls everything towards the ground) is like a rope which keeps the satellite from flying away.
Everything that goes up has to e down. It is only a matter of time before a satellite es back to the earth; As time goes by, the satellite loses its speed, which makes the gravitational pull stronger than the force pulling it away. This makes the satellite crash down to the earth.
