閱讀下面短文，然后按照要求寫一篇150詞左右的英語短文。
No One Dares to Help
On a recent Sunday, I was buying groceries in a supermarket when I heard the sound of a car accident. It was close but not very close, so I continued shopping.
As I took a right turn on Munadhama Street, I saw a man lying on the ground in a small pool of blood. He wasn’t dead.
The idea of stopping to help or to take him to a hospital crossed my mind, but I didn’t dare. Cars passed without stopping. Pedestrians and shop owners kept doing what they were doing, pretending nothing had happened.
I was still looking at the injured man and blaming myself for not stopping to help. Other shoppers peered at him from a distance, sorrowful and sympathetic, but did nothing.
I went on to another grocery store, staying for about five minutes while shopping for tomatoes, onions and other vegetables. During that time, the man managed to sit up and waved to passing cars.
No one stopped. No one did anything. No one lifted a finger.
The injured died on the street. The only reaction came from a woman in the grocery store. In a low voice, she said, “My God, bless his soul.”
An offer of aid could have saved the man’s life.
【寫作內(nèi)容】
1．以約30個(gè)詞概括文章的內(nèi)容；
2．以約120個(gè)詞就“To help or not to help”為主題發(fā)表你的看法，并包括如下要點(diǎn)：
(1)讀完文章后的感受；
(2)以你自己親身經(jīng)歷為例，說明你或路人是伸出援助之手還是袖手旁觀；
(3)從上述材料或在日常生活中所遇到的類似事件中所得到的一些啟示。
［寫作要求］
1．作文中可以使用親身經(jīng)歷或虛構(gòu)的故事，也可以參照閱讀材料的內(nèi)容，但不得直接引用原文中的句子。
2．作文中不能出現(xiàn)真實(shí)姓名和學(xué)校名稱。
［評分標(biāo)準(zhǔn)］ 概括準(zhǔn)確，語言規(guī)范，內(nèi)容合適，語篇連貫。

“Fire! Fire!” What terrible words to hear when one wakes up in a strange house in the middle of the night! It was a large, old, wooden house and my room was on the top floor. I jumped out of bed, opened the door and stepped outside the house. There was full of thick smoke.

I began to run, but as I was still only half-awake, instead of going towards the stairs I went in the opposite direction. The smoke grew thicker and I could see fire all around. The floor became hot under my bare feet. I found an open door and ran into a room to get to the window. But before I could reach it, one of my feet caught in something soft and I fell down. The thing I had fallen over felt like a bundle of clothes, and I picked it up to protect my face from the smoke and heat. Just then the floor gave way under me and I crashed to the floor below with pieces of burning wood all around me.

I saw a doorway in fire, then I put the bundle over my face and ran. My feet burned me terrible, but I got through. As I reached the cold air outside, my bundle of clothes gave a thin cry, I nearly dropped it in my surprise. Then I was in a crowd gathered in the street. A woman in a night-dress and a borrowed man’s coat screamed as she saw me and came running madly.

She was the Mayor’s wife, and I had saved her baby.

1. When the fire arose in the middle of the night, the author was _______.

A．a(chǎn)t home          B．sleeping           C．sitting in bed       D．both A and B

2. The author saved the baby _____.

A．because he was very brave.

B．because he liked the baby very much.

C．but he just happened to save it.

D．because it was the Mayor’s baby.

3.He ran in the wrong direction because he _______.

A．was a stranger there                     B．could see nothing

C．was not completely awake                 D．Both A and C

4. He put the bundle over his face and ran in order to ______.

A．save the baby                          B．call for help
