【冲刺外校阅读满分练习题18】
Fire can help people in many ways.But it can also be very harmful. Fire can make water hot and house warm, givelight and cook food. But fire can burn (燃烧) things, too. It can make trees,houses, animals and other things catch fire (起火). If some people can't run awayfrom fire, it can kill them. This happens in every country every year.
Sometimes big fire can burn forests. A month ago, a largeforest fire broke out in Yunnan Province. It lasted nearly half a month. Theforest in Heilongjiang Province and the grassland in Inner Mongolia caught firein May, 2006. After
more than ten days' fight, over30,000 people and soldiers put out (扑灭) the fire at last.
Nobody knows clearly when people began to make fire, butthere are many interesting stories about the first time a man or a womanstarted a fire. One story from Australia tells about a man who went to the sunand brought fire down a long time ago. Today people know how to make a firewith matches (火柴). Children sometimes like to playwith them. But matches can be very dangerous. The match can burn a piece ofpaper and then it can burn a house. A small fire can become a big fire, anddestroy many things. Fire kills many people every year. So you must be carefulwith fire.
