Matthew rushed through the front door,but was beaten back by flames. After his parents helped three of the children down the ladder,he climbed into the bedroom to get the others.

I had to feel my way round the room,trying to find the two kids and get them to make some noise,so I could find out where they were,”he said. rtThe boys were in a pretty bad. state,and almost passed out.They were unable to say anything.”
Steve Isaacs,station manager at Weymouth Community Fire Station,said, “There was some very, very quick thinking on the part of Matthew and his father Jackie.

A
In my junior year of college I came to a university in Madrid,Spain. The experience of studying abroad has changed my life greatly. Here is how.
My Spanish phone has no access to the Internet. It isn’t easy for me. But without Google to answer my questions,I often ask my teachers for help. When I need directions,I look up at street signs instead of looking down at my phone. It turns out that I have absorbed more when my eyes aren't glued to my screen.
In my hometown,if I wasn't in a quiet library,I could not focus on studying. However,here,without a library nearby,I have to find other locations to study. I choose to study in the darkest comer of a cafe,determining to stay away from anyone who wants to chat. As time goes by,I’ ve become habituated to the laughter and light. Now when I face a problem,an encouraging smile is all I need to get back on track. What starts off as a method of survival has changed into a love of cafes and the ability to work anywhere.
My freshman year of college was a race to find friends. I worried if I didn't immediately join a group,I would be alone for the next four years. In fact,relationships have developed more naturally abroad. With wonderful friends waiting for me back in Atlanta,I feel no pressure to make as many friends as possible. If I discover someone isn't my cup of tea,no sweat; I have the freedom to develop quality over quantity.
Before a family or school trip,my mom used to plan every detail. But in Madrid,every aspect of the trip—transportation,lodging activities,and food — is my responsibility and anxiety runs high. But while I lose a peaceful pre-trip night of sleep,my uncertain adventure is well worth the price. Traveling on my own gives me a cultural awareness that I would never understand when I blindly followed someone else's plan. I am a traveler and the trip is my own.

Teens who spend hours on the Internet may be at risk for high blood pressure. Researchers found that teens who spent at least 14 hours a week on the Internet had their blood pressure increased. Of 134 teens described by researchers as heavy Internet users,26 had higher blood pressure.
This is believed to be the only study to show a link between time spent on the Internet and high blood pressure. The findings add to growing research that has shown an association between heavy Internet use and other health risks like anxiety,depression,obesity and social isolation.
“Using the Internet is part of our daily life,but it shouldn’ t destroy us,” says Andrea,a researcher at Henry Ford's Department of Public Health Sciences and the study's lead author. uIn our study,teens considered heavy Internet users were on the Internet an average of 25 hours a week. It's important that young people take regular breaks from their computers or smartphones,and engage in some form of physical activity. I recommend children to limit their time at home on the Internet. I think two hours a day,five days a week is OK."
Andrea says school nurses could condudt annual health screenings (檢查) in which blood pressure and Internet use behavior could be assessed. Students with high blood pressure would then have a follow-up visit to determine the next step.
Researchers analyzed data collected from 335 teens aged 14 to 17 who participated in the study. Participants completed a 5 5-question survey of their Internet use during one week. Researchers found that teens spent an average of 15 hours a week on the Internet at either school or home; 39 percent of girls were heavy Internet users compared to 43 percent of boys; 43 percent of heavy Internet users were considered overweight compared to 26 percent of light Internet users.
5. What do we know about the study?
A. It linked high blood pressure with Internet use,
B. It was designed by teqis with high blood pressure.
C. It was aimed at studying the causes of high blood pressure.
D. It found heavy Internet users were likely to have mental problems:
6. Andrea advises teens to .
A. have regular checkups
B. limit their time at home
C. spend less time on the Internet
D. take regular breaks from their study
7. What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A. 43 percent of teens were light Internet users.
B. Nearly half the boys were heavy Internet users.
C. Most teens spent 14 hours a week on the Internet.
D. Boys spent 15 hours a week on physical activity.
