had left the key under the doormat (门前的擦鞋垫). Since I knew it would be quite late before I could get
back, I suggested that he make himself at home and help himself to anything that was kept in the refrigerator

of my records after having had a nice meal. He had found the pan and meat in the refrigerator. Now, he was
drinking a cup of tea and hoped that I would join him soon. When I asked him if he had any difficulty finding
the house,he answered that the only problem was that he had not been able to find the key under the doormat,
but luckily, the living room window by the apple tree had been left open and he had climbed in through the

a piece of paper and gave it to him. His son put it into his small pocket, took it out and looked at it every now
and then.

crackling of flames somewhere below there was not a sound in the two-storey house at Baldwin, Long Island.
With his father away on night duty at a local factory, Glenn was worried about the safety of his mother, his
sister Karen, 14 and his 12-year-old brother Todd. He ran downstairs through the smoke-filled house to push
and pull at Karen and Todd until they sat up. Then he helped each one through the house to the safety of the
garden. There, his sister and brother, taking short and quick breaths and coughing, collapsed on the lawn.
The nine-year-old boy raced back into the house and upstairs to his mother"s room. He found it impossible
to wake her up. Mrs. Kreamer, a victim of the smoke, was unconscious (无意识的), and there was nobody to
help Glenn carry her to the garden. But the boy remained calm and, as a fireman said later, "acted with all the
self-control of a trained adult."
On the bedroom telephone, luckily still working, Glenn called his father and, leaving Mr. Kreamer to
telephone the fire brigade and ambulance service, got on with the task of saving his mother.
First he filled a bucket with water from the bathroom and threw water over his mother and her bed. Then,
with a wet cloth around his head he went back to the garden.
He could hear the fire engine coming up, but how would the firemen find his mother in the smoke-filled
house where flames had almost swallowed up the ground floor?
Grasping firmly a ball of string (线绳) from the garage, Glenn raced back into the house and dashed
upstairs to his mother"s room. Tying one end of the string to her hand, he ran back, laying out the string as
he went, through the hall and back out into the garden.
Minutes later he was telling fire chief John Coughlan:"The string will lead you to mother." Mrs. Kreamer
was carried to safety as the flames were breaking through her bedroom floor.
B. He was worried about his mother"s safety.
C. He wanted to save his sister and brother.
D. He went to see if his father had come back from work.
B. By carrying her to safety with his brother.
C. By pushing and pulling at her.
D. By tying a string to her hand.
B. He threw water all over himself.
C. He hid himself in the bathroom.
D. He rushed out to the lawn.
B. he had learned something about first aid
C. he had dealt with the emergency calmly and wisely
