Question

【題目】Butler Fire Station is in Perth, Australia. The firefighters there are volunteers. I am one of them. We need to be ready to go in one minute and a half at any time. Here is a common day at the fire station.

8:00 — 8:30 We start by checking the equipment (設(shè)備). You can't take out equipment that doesn't work.

8:30 — 9:30 We all have to spend an hour in the gym doing physical training. Sometimes I don't feel like doing that, but we have to keep strong.

9:30 — 12:00 Morning duties. This means going out intothe community. It includes checking hydrants (消防栓), going on school visits and doing building inspections (檢查). When we finish our community work, we practice cutting open cars and things like that.

12:00 — 13:00 Lunch. We all enjoy sitting down and having a break for lunch, but we know that we might be called out to an emergency (緊急情況) at any time.

13:00 — 13:30 Station duties. This means cleaning the station. I don't mind doing this, but it's the least exciting part of the job!

13:30 — 16:00 Training and inspections (similar to morning duties).

16:00 — 17:00 Study. During this period of time, we have to keep on learning. For a firefighter, it is important to keep up with new technology. I'm interested in finding out how things work, so that’s the best time of the day.

Before leaving, we make sure the people working after us are ready to take over.
