Firefighter Regina Wilson works in Brooklyn, New York. A reporter is asking Regina questions about how she does her job.
Reporter: How long have you been a firefighter?
Wilson: Eight years.
Reporter: How did you get started?
Wilson: First, I had to take a lot of tests. Then, I went to firefighting school for 13 weeks. I learned how to put out fires and how to use equipment (设备).
Reporter: How do you stay safe on the job?
Wilson: I wear special clothing called bunker gear. It helps keep me safe from fire. I also carry an oxygen tank (氧气罐) and a mask (面罩).
They help me to breathe in a smoke-filled building.
Reporter: Are there any new tools that firefighters use?
Wilson: We have a special camera that can see in the dark. It can find heat. That way, we can tell where a fire is located.
Reporter: Do you save pets?
Wilson: I recently helped save some kittens. They were hiding under the beds. Pets usually hide during a fire because they are scared.
Reporter: Do you ever get afraid?
Wilson: There is no time to be afraid. I think about what I have to do to put out the fire safely.
Reporter: What do you like best about being a firefighter?
Wilson: Helping people!

You might think that Western students are less shy when they meet something new or come to a new environment , but the truth is that pupils in the UK can be uncomfortable too. Being at university can make Britons feel nervous. Everyone finds it difficult to talk to the other gender(性别) at school.
However, there is a way of dealing with this shyness in Britain, and it is called “Freshers Week”. Freshers Week is designed to help people socialize（适应社会） and lose their inhibitions(拘谨). It is a one-week long party for first year students to welcome them before lectures and coursework begin.
I remember my first week at university—it was terrifying. I looked at the schedule for Freshers Week and was amazed at how much was planned. Every hall organizes its own events to help students become friends with the people they live with. My hall was called "Goldney Hall" and the week ahead included(包括) a talent show, a comedy night,and themed parties, including one for which we had to dress up as golfers.
The first event I went to was a school kid party at which everyone dressed up as if they were in school. This party encouraged me to talk to all the people on my floor. One boy, who lived opposite my room, was very handsome and I felt nervous speaking to him at first. But when we met at the party dressed in silly school outfits(装备), I remember feeling a lot more relaxed speaking to him.
My Freshers Week was busy, but I managed to forget how scared I was. There is one thing's for sure: Nothing helps you lose your inhibitiongs quite like dressing up as a golfer.
【小题1】How do Britons feel when they first go to college?
【小题2】What was the name of the writer's hall?
【小题3】How many events did the writer's hall organize?
【小题4】Is the party for all students or first year students?
【小题5】What was the first event the wtiter went to?

Happiness is a feeling that lights up your eyes, makes your steps light and makes you want to sing for no reason. Everyone wants to be happy. But sometimes, a guest comes in without invitation. It’s unhappiness. Don’t let it get you down. Send it away!
When you are happy, the world feels like a better place. A good mood (心情) always gives you hope, which makes trouble and problems easier to handle.
No matter how happy you are, it’s natural to feel angry, sad or upset once in a while. Life is full of ups and downs. So it’s good to know some of the factors that influence happiness.
One of the biggest factors is social relationships. Talking and sharing is a good way to relax and build confidence. Knowing someone is there for you will make you braver and more outgoing.
Another factor is work or school. If you enjoy school, even if you have lots of homework or extra classes, you will still feel that your school life is meaningful and happy. But if you hate school, your negative attitude may cause you to feel bored and upset that you have to do so much work.
A third factor is your attitude towards life. How do you feel if you fail in an exam? Maybe you think it’s unfair because you always study hard and should have got a good mark. You can’t stop blaming (责备) yourself. Or, maybe you accept it. You go through the paper carefully, find out why you made stupid mistakes, and tell yourself, “Take it easy! I’ll do better next time!” Your attitude makes a big difference.
Do you smile a lot or wear a long face most of the time?
