四、(2025·宿迁模拟)阅读理解。〔人与社会——名著阅读〕
Roberta，Peter，and Phyllis lived a happy life with their parents in London. Their father was always kind，and their mother often wrote stories and played with them. But one night，two gentlemen came to their home. After a long talk，their father left with them，and their mother looked pale and sad. Then they had to move to a small house in the countryside.
After moving，they found the railway near their new home and soon enjoyed watching trains. One day，when the three children arrived at the tunnel，they looked up at the trees above it.
“What's happening?”Peter said. “Look at the trees. They are moving.”
He was right. The trees were sliding down the hill.
“It's a landslide，”Roberta said. “There has been a lot of rain. The earth is soft. It is moving and bringing the trees with it.”
“They are going to fall on the railway line，”Phyllis said. “There will be an accident if the train hits them. We must stop the next train.”
“How do we do that?”Peter said. “The next train is arriving at 11:29. That's in five minutes. And the train is only about fifteen kilometres away.”
“We can run towards the train and wave to the driver，”Phyllis said.
“He won't think there is anything wrong，”Roberta said. “We always wave to him.”
“We need something red to wave，”Peter said. “Red is for danger.”
“My skirt is red，”Phyllis said. “I'll tear it to pieces.”
“Mother will be angry if you do that，”Roberta said. “Skirts are expensive.”
“People may die if there is an accident，”Peter said. “Skirts aren't important.”
Phyllis tore strips(条)out of the bottom of her skirt.
“We need sticks to tie the strips to，”Peter said.
The children ran to a nearby tree. With his knife，Peter cut off three thin branches. He tied each of the strips of the red skirt to one of the branches.
“Now we have red flags，”he said. “When we wave these，the engine driver will know something is wrong. He will stop the train and ask us what is the matter.”
The children ran through the tunnel and waited at the other side for the train to come. They had to wait for a long time. Peter thought the watch must be wrong，but it was the train that was late. Then，the train arrived. The children waved their flags. Roberta was so excited that she fainted(昏厥).
The engine driver saw the red flags and the children. He knew something was wrong. He stopped the train. Peter and Phyllis ran towards the engine. They shouted to the driver that there were trees on the line. The engine driver climbed down from his engine. He hurried to where Roberta was lying on the ground in a faint. He picked her up and carried her to the train and put her in a comfortable carriage.
