四.聽短文回答問題

今天我們要聽的文章是說亨利在西雅圖市政府作救火員, 文章里除了談到救 火員的責任, 比方如何隨時準備救火, 還提到救火員必須要冒著危險進入燃 燒中的房屋去救人, 有的時候接到火警趕到現場才發現有人謊報等等.文章最 后一段還說到凱特對亨利作救火員有什么感想.

現在請你注意聽.

Henry is an employee of the city of Seattle. He is one of more than 2,000 fire fighters there.

Seattle had a major fire nearly 100 years ago when most of the city burned to the ground.

Henry and his fellow fire fighters don't want that to happen again.

Henry is on duty eight hours a day. During his shift, he eats and sleeps at the fire house.

Fire fighters have to be ready to answer an alarm at any hour of the day or night. Most of the alarms are for small fires which can be put out in a few minutes. There are also a few fake alarms, when the fire fighters arrive to find that there isn't any fire at all. Big fires are very dangerous. Most of the time the greatest danger comes from smoke. Sometimes, Henry has to enter burning buildings to rescue people inside. He has been in serious danger many times to save people's lives.

Kate is proud of Henry for his work, but she worries about his safety. Henry feels that his job isn't dangerous if he is careful and stays calm. He also needs to stay in good shape too.
