举一反三
The Hotshots are firefighters who battle fires in wilderness areas.But don"t think you"ll only find them in California.Wherever there is a national wildfire emergency,the Golden Eagles Hotshots could be there.
But these firefighters don"t work the same way as those in big cities.They work where there are large numbers of trees,bushes,and grass.They climb up and down steep hills to clear brush and burnable debris (残骸).They sometimes use water,but often fight fire with fire!
They do that by lighting what are called “backfires” ---- small,controlled fires that burn up fuel in the path of larger wildfires.That way, when the wildfire gets there, it has nothing to burn and nowhere to go,because all the burnable fuel has already gone up in smoke.
The Hotshots also clear away fuel using old-fashioned hard work.For example,they use a saw to cut away trees and heavy brush that could catch fire.
Of course there are times when the Golden Eagles Hotshots do have trucks to supply water to the fires.But the water is limited,and these guys have to rely on hard work more than anything.Physical fitness is very important.They have to be strong to handle steep hills while carrying a 60pound pack.
Thanks to their efforts,many lives have been saved,many houses not burned,and countless trees still standing.
小题1:According to the passage,why do the firefighters light “backfires”?
A.To signal for help. | B.To remove obstacles. |
C.To protect trees and bushes. | D.To prevent the fire from spreading. |
A.They are firefighters working in big cities. |
B.Their work requires physical strength. |
C.They are working for free. |
D.They usually hold a hose to put out the fires. |
A.areas | B.ways | C.achievements | D.tools |
A.Appreciative. | B.Doubtful. | C.Worried. | D.Critical. |
“I was amazed last night, really, at how similar the questions and discussions and all that were to those in the dinners we had in the U.S.,” said Mr. Buffett.
Mr. Buffett and Mr. Gates, two of the best known Westerners here, announced in September, 2010 that they planned to invite 50 wealthy Chinese tycoons to dinner in Beijing to encourage philanthropy(慈善事业) among China’s new rich.
On Thursday, the two men pronounced the dinner a great success, saying that two-thirds of those invited had shown up, and that more than half of them had offered their own ideas on how Chinese philanthropy should work.
The guest list wasn’t made public, but the Chinese news media reported that it included Jet Li, the movie star; Niu Gensheng, the founder of a Chinese dairy business; and Pan Shiyi and Zhang Xin, who control the SOHO China real estate(房地产) empire.
As with four earlier dinners held in the United States, Mr. Buffett and Mr. Gates said, no one at the Beijing event was asked to donate money or to promise to engage in charity. “Bill and I won’t be calling anybody. What happens in China will depend on what the Chinese people feel about a project of this sort,” said Mr. Buffett.
China is widely reported to be second only to the United States in the number of dollar billionaires. Mr. Gates and Mr. Buffett said the nation was unique because its wealthy class had arisen almost wholly in the past 30 years, so the philanthropic practices established among European and American dynasties are new here, and open to change.
The two said the dinner wasn’t a long planned matter, but an offshoot of a trip that Mr. Buffett had already scheduled to Guangdong and Hunan Provinces, where BYD Company, a maker of clean-energy automobiles, has factories. Mr. Buffett’s company, Berkshire Hathaway, holds a 10% stake(股金) in the company.
But Mr. Gates suggested that their philanthropic trip wasn’t yet over. “We may do an event in India,” he said.
小题1:What is the text mainly about?
A.A brief analysis of future philanthropy. |
B.The development of Chinese philanthropy. |
C.An introduction on Mr. Buffett and Mr. Gates’ trip in China. |
D.A charity dinner held in Beijing by Mr. Buffett and Mr. Gates. |
A.the dinner was quite a success |
B.the food in the dinner was very delicious |
C.Chinese tycoons are similar to Western ones |
D.it was pleasing to discuss with Chinese tycoons |
A.China has the largest number of dollar billionaires in Asia |
B.many people have promised to donate money at dinner |
C.Beijing will be the last stop of their philanthropic trip |
D.the Chinese news media published the complete guest list of the dinner |
A.a report | B.an addition | C.a beginning | D.an end |
There was no official confirmation of the reported death and spokespersons for Jackson could not be reached for comment. "We’ve just learned Michael Jackson has died," TMZ said. "Michael suffered a cardiac(心脏的) arrest earlier this afternoon at his Holmby Hills home and paramedics were unable to revive him. We’re told when paramedics arrived Jackson had no pulse and they never got a pulse back," the entertainment site said. It added, "A source tells us Jackson was dead when paramedics arrived."

His lifetime record sales tally is believed to be around 750 million, which, added to the 13 Grammy Awards he received, makes him one of the most successful entertainers of all time.

While China may be the worlds biggest toy maker, many of the best are exported.Department stores here do not have enough high quality toys.It is said that the demand for educational toys is low.
A US company, BabyCare, is trying to change that with a new way to sell toys in China.
BabyCare works basically together with doctors in Beijing hospitals. People who join the company’s "mother club" can get lectures and newsletters on baby and child development at no extra cost, if they agree to spend 18 dollars a month on the company’s educational toys and child care books.
"We want to build a seven-year relationship with those people," said Matthew J.Estes, BabyCare’s president."It starts during pregnancy (孕期), when the anxiety and needs are highest." BabyCare works on a one to one basis.Doctors, nurses, and teachers paid by BabyCare advise parents, explain toys that are designed for children at each stage (阶段) of development to age six.
BabyCare opened its first store in China last June in a shopping center in central Beijing and another near Beijing Zoo.It plans to have 80 stores in China within six years.
It is a new model for China and develops a market in young children’s education and health that no other companies are in.
