任务四 阅读与回答问题
请认真阅读短文,并根据短文内容回答问题。
In the city centre, firefighters quickly get ready when they hear the alarm. Within 60 seconds they are dressed and rushing to a burning building. Even though they know the floors might collapse and the ceilings could fall, they still have to go inside. One wrong decision might mean death.
Who would do a job like that? Ask firefighter Sam Telfer. One month ago, he signed up for the job. He used to sit in an office of a software company, but now he is trained to break into rooms full of smoke and heat and come up with a rescue strategy.
“I wanted a job where I could be active, work with my hands, learn new practical skills, and face different challenges every day.” That’s quite an understatement(保守说法) to describe a career that requires you to keep a cool head while fighting against a fire. But Telfer says that flames(火焰) and nerves can be controlled in the same way: through continuous physical and mental training.
Telfer was a runner in college, but now he trains his lungs for dangerous situations instead of races. He has to climb hundreds of steps while wearing 34 kilograms of gear, like oxygen tanks. He also needs to carry unconscious people to safety. No matter what he’s doing, he has to control his breathing. Panic(恐慌) will only waste his limited air supply.
His survival depends on more than just being physically fit. Firefighters need a lot of mental preparation too. When they are not dealing with emergencies, they study many subjects like emergency medicine, structural design, and chemical reactions(化学反应). They practise quickly assessing(评估) the changing conditions of a fire.
Telfer says, “I have never once felt that this isn’t the right job for me.” Even though danger might be waiting every day, his body and mind are trained to stay calm, even in the middle of a fierce fire.
1. When did Sam Telfer become a firefighter?
2. Where did Telfer work before becoming a firefighter?
3. What physical training do firefighters take? (Give an example.)
4. How can firefighters survive a big fire?
5. Would you like to be a firefighter when you grow up? Why or why not?
