    　　On Saturday nights, A．J．Coston doesn't get a lot of sleep．Usually three or four times a night, a loud bell rings, a red light flashes, and he has to jump out of his bed．That's because he's a weekend volunteer firefighter(消防员)with Loudoun County Fire and Rescue Station 13 in Northern Virginia．During the week, he lives at home with his mom, dad and sister and does his main job which is going to high school．

    　　“I have always wanted to get into firefighting since I was a little kid watching fire trucks go by,” he says．“One day on the Internet I noticed that Loudoun County offered a junior firefighter program．”He was only 16, but he got it．

    　　“Teamwork is most important,”he says．“It's the whole team that puts the fire out．”

    　　Firefighters feel great about helping people．“My most unbelievable call was probably the time four kids were struck by lightning,”says Coston．He will be off to college next fall, building on his dream job．“I'll get my degree in emergency(紧急情况)medical care．and then work in a fire and rescue company for a while．I want to be a flight doctor on a helicopter in the end, but I will never forget the days as a firefighter．These are my unforgettable experiences,”he says．

         CBC is a famous air company which has over twenty planes carrying passengers and goods, flying
    along 12 fixed lines all over the world. Its service is very good but some passengers are still not satisfied
    with it and that is why in 1998 and 1999 the company received letters of complaints(投诉) from consumers

    Those about passengers' things carried by the plane are Baggage problems. Customer service refers to
    service work which passengers are not satisfied with. Over sales of seats are about the fact that more seats
    are sold and as a result the plane is too crowded to be safe. Refund problems appear when passengers fail
    to receive the money paid to them because of what they have lost. Fares are problems about the price of
    tickets. Reservations are problems that appear when passengers could not get the tickets they have already
    booked. Tours are problems about the passengers'traveling by air or hotel problems. Advertising is what the
    passengers think about advertisement on the plane. Credit problems are about the use of credit cards.
