    阅读理解。
         It was 3:12 a.m., when nine-year-old Glenn White awoke to the smell of burning. Except for the
    crackling (噼啪声) of flames (火苗) somewhere below there was not a sound in the two-storey house at
    Baldwin, Long Island.
        With his father away on night duty at a local factory, Glenn was worried about the safety of his mother,
    his sister Karen, 14 and his 12-year-old brother Todd. He ran downstairs through the smoke filled house to
    push and pull at Karen and Todd until they sat up. Then he helped each one through the house to the safety
    of the garden. There, his sister and brother, taking short and quick breaths (呼吸) and coughing, collapsed
    (倒) on the lawn (草坪).
         The nine-year-old raced back into the house and upstairs to his mother's room. He found it impossible to
    wake her up. Mrs. White, a victim (受害者) of the smoke, was unconscious (失去知觉的), and there was
    nobody to help Glenn carry her to the garden. But the boy remained calm and, as a fireman said later,"acted
    with all the self-control of a trained adult."
        On the bedroom telephone, luckily still working, Glenn called his father and, leaving Mr. White to telephone
    the fire brigade (消防队员) and ambulance (救护车) service, got on with the task of saving his mother.
         First he filled a bucket with water from the bathroom and threw water over his mother and her bed. Then,
    with a wet cloth around his head he went back to the garden. He could hear the fire engine coming up, but
    how would the firemen find his mother in the smoke-filled house where flames had almost swallowed up
    the ground floor?
        Grasping (抓住) firmly a ball of string from the garage, Glenn raced back into the house and dashed (猛冲)
    upstairs to his mother's room. Tying (系) one end of the string to her hand he ran back, laying out (铺放)
    the string as he went, through the hall and back out into the garden.
        Minutes later he was telling fire chief John Coughlan,"The string will lead you to mother." Mrs. White
    was carried to safety as the flames were breaking through the bedroom floor.
    1. Why did Glenn run downstairs first?
    A. He wanted to save his sister and brother.
    B. He went to see if his father had come back from work.
    C. He wanted to find out what was happening.
    D. He was worried about his mother's safety.
    2. How did Glenn help the firemen to save his mother?
    A. By pushing and pulling at her.
    B. By tying a string to her hand.
    C. By putting out the fire himself.
    D. By carrying her to safety with his brother.
    3. Who called the fire brigade and ambulance service?
    A. Glenn's sister.
    B. Glenn's neighbor.
    C. Glenn.
    D. Glenn's father.
    4. What did Glenn do to protect himself?
    A. He hid himself in the bathroom.
    B. He rushed out to the lawn.
    C. He put a wet cloth around his head.
    D. He threw water all over himself.
    5. Glenn saved his family because ______.
    A. he had followed his mother's instruction
    B. he had dealt with the emergency (紧急情况) calmly and wisely
    C. his father had taught him to do so on the phone
    D. he had learned something about first aid
