It was 4 o’ clock in the morning when I received the phone call.
“This is the emergency room calling and your son was just in with severe burns on his face, neck and arms. We have called for a (n) and are going to fly him to the burn unit in Seattle.” Seattle was 350 miles from his college, so we knew immediately this was .
The doctor described the , which caused the burns. Our son and his friends decided to barbecue hamburgers in the courtyard of their apartment. When they the charcoal(木炭), it burst into flames because they had sprayed too much gasoline(petrol). The flames my son’s shirt tail(下擺) and shot from his waist to well over his head.
, one of the boys was quick-minded, grasped(抓住) my son, and him on the grass. While it saved his life, it was not in to save him from severe burns and the terrible scars(傷疤).
After he from the treatments, the doctors told him they would not do plastic surgery(整容) for 6 months it takes that long for the skin to stop shrinking(縮水) and wrinkling(起皺). So, he had to return to college with scars typical of severe burns.
When I was a child, my mother told my sister, who had a 10-inch, very scar on her arm, “Nancy, if you ignore the scar, other people will ignore it. It does not mean they will not it, but it means it will not matter to them if it doesn’t matter to you.”
I this wisdom on to my son. He took my advice to his and returned to school with his head held high —— glad he was alive.
By the end of the six-month waiting period, he decided that the scars did not , so he made the to give up any plastic surgery.
We all have “scars” that we believe people to keep away from us. And we spend a lot of time thinking that if only we looked differently, or dressed differently, people would like us better.
But you see, people will only judge you by your looks, or your clothes, if you are judging yourself by these same standards. Put your imperfections out of your mind and concentrate on what you value yourself, and your beauty will shine through.

This is not a typical summer camp. Michelle Pawlaw and eight other teenage girls are participating in the three—day camp offered by the Arlington County Fire Department located just outside Washington. Firefighter Clare Burley is in charge of the program, who said the purpose is to try to get young women interested in considering the fire service as a career.
The free-of-charge, overnight camp is designed to let the girls experience what firefighters do to protect the community. That includes some rigorous activities such as moving a fire victim. “I didn’t think I could pull that 170 pound body with a friend, but I was actually able to do it.” she said.
They take classes and learn how to climb the ladder on a fire truck, operate emergency tools and rescue an injured person. They also do their share of cleaning the firehouse and the equipment.
“Every week without fail on a Saturday, the job is to wash all the equipment. And we wanted the girls to see this is what we do. This is a typical day in a firehouse,” she said.
Firefighting is still a male-dominated service, but Burley says with 22 women on its force of 320 the Arlington County Fire Department is above the national average of 4.5 percent. She joined the department seven years ago.
“We do everything that the guys do to the same standard. We are tested to the same standard. We are expected to operate at the same standard,” she said.
Most of the girls say they had never thought about becoming a firefighter. but the camp was a great learning experience.” I think it is definitely not a job that only men can do. Women can do it just as well as men can,” said Michelle Pawlaw.

A. To tell the girls how to put firefighting knowledge into practice.

2.What can we infer from Paragraph 5?
A. Arlington County Fire Department is in the lead in employing women firefighters.
B. Arlington County Fire Department is the first to employ women firefighters.

D. No women ever want to perform the firefighting service.
3.What can we infer from Michelle’s words in the last paragraph?
A. She has determined to join the firefighters in the future.
B. She will persuade her fellow students to join in the camp.
C. She realizes that women can also be good firefighters.
D. She decides that she’ll join in the camp again later.

As computers become all the more popular in China, Chinese people are increasingly depending on computer keyboards to input Chinese characters. But if they use the computer too much, they may end up forgetting the exact strokes（筆畫）of each Chinese character when writing on paper. Experts suggest people, especially students, write by hand more.
Do you write by hand more or type more? In Beijing, students start using a computer as early as primary school. And computer dependence is more wide-spread among university students. Almost all their homework and essays are typed on a computer.
All the students interviewed say they usually use a computer.
It’s faster and easier to correct if using a computer. And that’s why computers are being applied more and more often to modern education. But when people are taking stock in computers increasingly, problems appear.
“When I'm writing with a pen, I find I often can't remember how to write a character, though I feel I’m familiar with it.”
“I’m not in the mood to write when faced with a pen and paper.”
Many students don't feel this is something to worry about. Now that it's more convenient and quick to write on a computer, why bother to handwrite?
Many educators think differently. Shi Liwei , the headmaster of a famous primary school in the capital said “Chinese characters enjoy both practical and aesthetic(審美的) value. But those characters typed with computer keyboards only have their practical value. All the artistic beauty of the characters is lost. And handwriting contains the writer’s emotion(情緒). Through one’s handwriting, people can get to know one's thinking and personality. Beautiful writing will give people a better first impression of them.”
To encourage students to handwrite more, many primary schools in Beijing have made writing classes compulsory(必修的)and in universities, some professors are asking students to turn in their homework and essays written by hand.
1.The students interviewed prefer to write using a computer mainly because______.
A. they can correct the mistakes they make quickly and conveniently
B. they are usually asked to e-mail their homework and essays
C. they find it not easy to remember how to write a character
D. computers have become popular in China
2. Which of the following statements of the advantages of handwriting is NOT TRUE ?
A. Chinese characters enjoy both practical and aesthetic value.
B. Handwriting can impress people well and build up one’s self-confidence.
C. Handwriting contains the writer’s emotion.
D. The writer’s thinking and personality are shown in his or her handwriting.
3.The underlined expression “taking stock in”(Paragraph 4) probably means __________.
A. getting bored with B. getting curious about
C. becoming crazy about D. getting dependent on
4.We can infer from the passage that __________.
A. writing by hand will give way to typing by computer one day
B. more and more students will give up writing on a computer
C. more and more students will pay attention to handwriting
D. the typed article better expresses one’s emotion and quality
