A teenager and his family have been praised as : heroes after rescuing five children from a fire. Matthew Robinson,18, his mother and his father rushed to help :when a neighbour's home went up in flames. Jackie Robinson,40, climbed a ladder to pull 12-year-old Tamara Barlow and her 16-month-old brother from their first-floor bedroom. Matthew went up the ladder and into the smoke-filled room to save two more children after their 16-year-old sister Charlotte climbed down.
Last night,fire fighters said one or more of the children would almost certainly have died had it not been for the Robinsons. However,Matthew denied they were heroes. He said, ^Anyone would have done the same thing. I was in the right place at the right time."

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.

C
Several years ago,my wife and I spent a few days in Berlin,staying at the Park Inn in Alexanderplatz,where we got an unusual surprise.
We arrived in the afternoon,tired from our early flight,and were checked in by a rather formal young man. We decided to have a lie down for ten minutes before exploring the city. As I lay down with my eyes half shut,I saw a shadow pass the window.,aProbably a seagull
I thought. Then the same thing happened again,but this time there was a cry coming through the balcony doors.
I got up,opened the sliding doors and went out onto the balcony to investigate — just in time to see a human body screaming past me towards the square below before safely (变慢) just a few meters from the ground. I found out it's a sport called base jumping (高处跳伞).
Once we knew what was happening,we got used to. it. It went on for a short time each day,and it was only the people that laughed loudly as they went down that disturbed me. (I tried to persuade my wife to have a go,but she said no!)
On our last day,we checked out and the same rnsenW (寡言少语的) young man served us. “I hope that you enjoyed your stay,” he said.
“Actually,” I replied, “it would have been nice to have been warned when we checked in about the base jumpers falling past our balcony."
He paused and considered for a moment,ay/zckr (闪 现) of a smile appearing on one side of his mouth. “Yeah,” he said. “Perhaps we should warn people in the fliture." I knew that he wouldn,t. It was their little joke. Berliners,believe it or not,have a famous sense of humor.

A. Visit the city. B. Take a hot bath.
