help to fight the fire On the way they met two firemen Quick you boys said one of the firemen Come and help us to pull a pump 泵 to the stream We can t beat out the fire The wind is too strong The pump is our only hope The two boys ran further until they came to a heavy pump They helped to pull it to a stream not far from the village Soon the pump was working well so the boys went to watch the fire It had already reached the edge of the village The boys saw that two houses were on fire and the flames were attacking a third building Suddenly there was a shout from one of the villagers Keep away a voice shouted There s paint stored in that building The boys and villagers moved away quickly With a loud explosion 爆炸 the whole building burst into flames sending clouds of thick black smoke into the sky At this time Peter and Jim began to think that the whole village would be burnt to the ground The firemen had left the burning buildings and were pouring 浇 water onto the neighboring houses trying to stop the fire from spreading Then the wind died down A second pump was brought up to help and the fire was gradually put out It s soon finished Peter said to his friend We must go or we shall get home late Yes come on agreed Jim and with a last look at the ruins they walked back to their bicycles 56 Seeing the fire the boys ran to the village to A watch it B ask for help C help the firemen D

really like them They were always making trouble My parents set off to the hospital one evening and planned to have the rest of my family and I come to the hospital later To this day I don t think I have gone through a more nerve wracking 使人紧张的 experience than sitting in the hospital s waiting room I was sleepless all night When I was finally allowed to see my new baby sister I was so scared I reached out and when I got a hold of her I fell in love with her For the first time holding my sister had an effect on whom I want to be and because of her rather than my parents frequent requests I have set out goals to improve my future I want to be her role model someone she can respect The past two years has seemed to go by very fast I ve watched her grow older I have seen her learn to walk and learn to talk The fear that she held over me seems so small now Now you can see that the family is such an important part of my life it has influenced who I am and who I want to be in my future 60

around the world especially in developing countries The World Health Organization says glaucoma is a greater public health challenge than cataracts 白内障 because the blindness caused by the latter can be cured after operations Glaucoma is a disease that makes people around the world lose their sight and they usually don t even know they have the disease until it has 7 permanently destroyed at least 40 percent of their sight The process is usually so painless and subtle 不明显的 so people don t notice it Actually the simplest medical test can discover it It is the leading cause of blindness in the United States In Hispanics and in African Americans it s the second leading cause of blindness and so is the case in the Chinese and Indians said Dr Alan Robin a specialist in treating glaucoma The glaucoma we see in sub Saharan Africa is a much more aggressive blinding disease than the glaucoma we see in Americans or even African Americans in the United States he said Dr Eric Fleischer also sees these differences at Medstar Washington Hospital Center Pretty much anybody who has ancestors in Africa has an increased chance of developing glaucoma Age is another thing that may lead to glaucoma although people of all ages can get it Glaucoma is a group of diseases that commonly produce pressure in the eye An eye is sort of like a watch And behind the face of the watch liquid is made It goes through your pupil 瞳孔 and into the front of the watch between the face and the crystal There s an area around the edge of the watch that drains 使排出 the liquid When that drain is blocked the liquid can t 1eave the eye as fast as it is produced The rising pressure within the eye damages and eventually kills the optic 视觉的 nerve The result is blindness Fortunately if caught early glaucoma can be controlled Glaucoma is not curable but as researchers worldwide leam more about it they grow more hopeful that glaucoma can one day be cured or even prevented 64 In which country is glaucoma

第 8 页 共 10 页 共 8 We tried to fix it but by that time the other teams had more advanced technology says Eagle Scout Matthew Patchen 16 They were a couple of steps ahead of us In the end Matthew s team
