Siene is a firefighter in the USA．It isn’t easy to become a firefighter there. Many people try, but a lot of them fail. Also, in the past firefighting was always a job for men. Now there are
试卷第3页，共10页
women firefighters.
When Siene was five years old, it was her dream to become a firefighter. Forty years later, she was the oldest woman to pass a six-week course at the WFPA (女子消防预备学院). The WFPA trains (训练) women in the skills they need to be firefighters. In fact, Siene now trains firefighters there herself.
Starting the course doesn’t mean you’ll become a firefighter. The course is very difficult, so not everyone finishes the training. They are trained like being in the army. Can you hold a heavy piece of woods for four minutes? How many exercises can you do? Can you lift a 12-meter ladder (梯子)?
You also need other skills. Can you lead a team? Are you a skillful driver? Can you use technology? There are so many more that are a part of firefighting these days. Of course, no one can do them all, but more skills certainly help.
However, you must wait for a chance to work as a firefighter even before passing your course. It seems that lots of women aren’t ready to do that. In one year, 50 women got trained, but only three of them are now firefighters. Learning the skills is not enough to become a firefighter. Like Siene, you also need to stick to your dream. 24．When did Siene dream of being a firefighter?
A．At the age of five. C．Thirty years ago.
25．How is the course at the WFPA?
A．Boring.
B．Relaxing.
C．Difficult.
D．Interesting.
B．When she was ten years old. D．When she was fifteen years old.
26．What do the underlined words “stick to” mean in the passage?
A．坚持
B．更改
C．创造
D．减少
27．What can we learn from the passage?
A．Firefighting is always a job for men now. B．Everyone can finish the training at the WFPA． C．You need a lot of skills to become a firefighter.
D．Starting the course at the WFPA means you’ll become a firefighter.

was 13 years old.
Chang Le was one of my classmates. He and I were also neighbors. He always listened to his mother while I didn’t like listening to my mother. I didn’t think it was necessary for her to teach me anything. Chang Le knew all about that but he said nothing to me.
One weekend, Chang Le invited me to watch a movie. I liked movies very much, so I went to the cinema with him happily. The movie was about the love between a mother and her son. It was so moving. After watching it, I began to know how great the love of the mother was. I felt sorry that I didn’t listen to my mother before. I decided to think more about my mother than about myself. After I told that to him, Chang Le smiled and said, “It’s really necessary for boys to watch such a movie. That’s a good choice (选择) for both you and me.”
Suddenly, I knew why he invited me to watch the movie. Just at that time, I knew a true friend is always helpful.

Your problem is like a circle. The harder you study, the less time you have to make friends and the less friendly you look to your classmates. The fewer friends you have, the harder you study to make yourself feel better.
Try to break this bad circle. You are afraid of meeting new people, because you are too shy and too serious. Everyone has a fun side to his character. Push your shyness side away and show

your classmates how fun you can be.
Look at your classmates. There must be someone who has a lot in common with you. First, smile at your classmates. Do this as often as you can, until your classmates become used to your smile and smile in return.
Next, talk to your classmates. Do this between classes or during your lunch break. You may find it easier to start by talking to people when they are alone.
Perhaps you could ask a classmate about your studies. They are likely to respond in a very positive way. People like to feel important and helpful.
Your problem is mainly about confidence. Smile first, talk next and slowly you will make friends. Once you have more confidence, you can make many good friends.
