I know my brother better than anyone else in the world．Since the moment of his birth，I've been part of his life．I had spent seven   1    years in the world with the attention of those around me．But when Rohan was born，life   2  ．Suddenly I had to   3   my toys and there were no more bedtime stories or my own choice of food．

Finally，I felt my    4    at my brother．The poor baby had no idea about what had made me so unhappy．Maybe he found me strange，the only person in this house    5    did not like him．Whatever the reason was，he loved    6    me around．However，I seldom talked to him and   7   asked him to leave me alone．

Then all that changed．I hardly remember everything of that day six years ago，  8    I do remember that I was feeling very angry．Somehow my feet led me to my brother's bed．My hand，completely   9   from my mind，reached through the bars（护栏）．At once，he reached his small hand and softly touched     10  ．And that was all I needed．Through all the unhappiness of the day，that one moment changed   11  ．How could I hate someone who made me feel so important? For the   12    time，I saw my brother，not through the eyes of a child who was no longer favored（宠爱），but through the eyes of a   13   ．

To this day，I can't imagine life   14   my brother．It is unbelievable how much I have  __15    about life from a seven-year-old boy．Above all，Rohan has taught me that one should not care only for himself．

Every child has a dream of what they want to be，right? When Renee Butts was little，her dream was to become a volunteer firefighter because her father was one．Sadly，when she was 14，her father died and she was never able to volunteer with him．Renee's story doesn't end there，however，which is why I think of her as a true hero．She was strong-minded and never gave up，which makes her a good firefighter．

Some days she must be ready to deal with any emergency，like fighting a fire，dealing with a car accident or helping someone who's sick．Other days she is in the driver's seat．Sometimes Renee works nine to eleven days a month on 24-hour shits．She also has a family to take care of．Her husband is a firefighter，too．

Renee remembers the first time she fought a fire．She was awoken early in the morning by the alarm．She said she was very nervous but did what she had to do．

When I asked Renee what the best part of her job is，she replied，“Helping people and saving their lives．” I think that shows signs of being a true hero．She's always glad to do anything for anyone in need．With 140 people in her station，Renee is one of the only three women．

I think she's great．We could never live without people like her who is glad to help others．Renee's deed helps me believe that I can do anything．I hope someday to be just like her：to wake up and help people every day．

Taking away a city's rubbish is a big job．Every day trucks come into a city to collect it．Most rubbish is made up of things we can't eat or use．If we kept these things we would soon have a mountain of rubbish．

In some cities the rubbish is collected and taken outside the city to a dump．Often the city dump is placed where the ground is low or there is a big hole．The kitchen rubbish is broken into small pieces and sent into the sewage system．The sewage system takes away the used water from toilets，bathtubs and other places．

To keep mice and flies away，some earth is used to cover the newly dumped rubbish．Later，grass may be planted on the rubbish-filled land．Finally，a house or a school may be built there，and then you'd never know that this had once been an old rubbish dump．

In other cities the rubbish is burnt in special places．The fire burns everything except the metal．Sometimes the metal can be used again in factories where things are made of metal．The food parts of rubbish are put in special piles where they slowly change into something called humus，which looks like black earth．It is rich with the kinds of things that feed plants and help make them grow．
