And while much of his job today is related to EMS (emergency medical services), his first love is fighting fires.“I enjoy the job and working with people. I enjoy firefighting,” he says.Davis studied in a firefighting school for about three months and took part in classroom work, physical exercise, and hands-on training such as fighting live fires in buildings filled with straw (稻草).Davis says the blindfold (蒙眼的) training prepared him for real fires. “By the time we get to a fire, if its going pretty good, the whole house will be filled with smoke. And anytime you get near the fire, you wont be able to see at all. Zero visibility (能见性) is the same as darkness. The blindfold works.”Davis believes his most important duty is “making sure Im prepared for any situation I might come across.” To keep physically fit, he runs several times a week and works out. He takes classes to keep up his skills and trains regularly by fighting practice fires. Sometimes this includes cutting holes in roofs (房顶), which helps allow smoke to pass out and improves visibility for firefighters inside the building.Firefighting means plenty of risks. Besides, Davis says, “You have to be willing to help any person you come across.” If someone is trapped (使陷入困境), Davis or another firefighter will put himself at risk to get the person out.

D. He is worried about the safety of firefighters.CWhen we are young we are taught that its wrong to lie and we should always tell the truth. Unfortunately, most children lie even if theyre told not to. Research carried out at the Institute of Child Study at Toronto University has shown that this might not be such a bad thing. Apparently (显然地), children who tell lies when theyre two years old have a good chance of becoming successful adults (成年人).According to the research, at the age of two, 20 per cent of children lie. At the age of three, 50 per cent lie, and at four almost 90 per cent lie. By the age of 12 almost every child tells lies.Lying needs much brain work, and the better the lie is, the more work the brain has to do. By training the brain early, researchers believe children will be able to think more clearly when they are adults.Recent research, carried out by the Science Museum in London, has shown some interesting facts about the way we lie as adults. According to the research, the average British man tells three lies every day; thats over 1,000 lies a year. However, the average woman apparently only lies twice a day.Most people think women are better liars (说谎者) than men although in fact they tell fewer lies. Popular womens lies include Nothings wrong, Im fine, I dont know where it is, I havent touched it, and It wasnt that expensive.Some people say you can lie as long as its a white lie. A white lie is a lie told to avoid hurting someones feelings. One of the most common lies for both men and women is Its just what Ive always wanted, said after opening a present from their partner.38. What will happen to young children who lie?A. They will possibly do wrong later. B. Theyre likely to succeed in the future.C. They will keep lying when they grow up. D. They may have a good chance of losing others trust.39. What do the numbers in Para. 2 show about children?A. Older children tell bigger lies than younger ones. B. As they grow, they often lie about their age.C. The older they are, the more likely they lie. D. Its quite natural for them to tell lies.40. What did the research by the Science Museum find out?A. Men lie more than women. B. Women are better liars than men.C. Womens lies are usually not serious. D. Men sometimes have to lie to women.41. Whats the true feeling behind the underlined part in the last paragraph?A. You know me so well. B. I dont like the present.C. You are good at picking presents. D. I havent received a present I really like.DThis is the plastic tube (管子) that holds the ink. If you took this tube away from the pen what would happen?My students look at me as if they cant believe Im asking such a stupid question. Man, you wouldnt be able to write.OK. Now what is this Im holding in my hand?Again the patient look. Thats a spring (弹簧), man.And what would happen if we took the spring away?The pen wouldnt work.Now look at what Im writing on the blackboard. “The spring makes the pen work.” What is the subject of this sentence? In other words, what are we talking about in this sentence?The pen.No, no, no. Theres an action word here. Its called a verb. What is it?Oh, yeah. The spring.No, no, no. The spring is a thing.Yeah, yeah. The spring is a thing. Hey, man. Thats poetry (诗歌).So, what does the spring do?Makes the pen work.Good. The spring does the action. Were talking about the spring, right?They look doubtful.Suppose we say, “The pen makes the spring work.” Would that be right?No. The spring makes the pen work. Anyone can see that.So, what is the action word?Makes.Right. And what word uses the action word?Spring.So you can see how a ballpoint pen is like a sentence. It needs something to make it work. It needs action, a verb. Can you see that?They said they could. The headmaster, making notes in the back of the room, looked puzzled (困惑的). After class he said he could understand the connection I was making between structure (结构) of pen and structure of sentence. He wasnt sure if I had succeeded in getting that across to the kids but still, it was new and imaginative. He was sure, if some of his experienced English teachers tried it theyd improve on it, but it was a pretty good idea.42. How did the students react to the authors first question?A. Doubtfully. B. Interestedly. C. Impatiently. D. Surprisedly.43. What was the author probably teaching in class?A. Poetry. B. Science. C. Grammar. D. Writing.44. Why did the author use the pen in class?A. To help him teach. B. To check students work.C. To make notes on something. D. To show students how it works.45. What did the headmaster think of the authors teaching?A. It was creative. B. It was unsuccessful. C. It was easy to understand. D. It was useless in the classroom.第2节 七选五（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。We all know it is not always so easy to be happy.
