语篇研读
五、阅读短文，完成下列任务。
Do you remember some unforgettable things that happened around you? Have you ever seen a fire? What will you do if there is a fire? Will you shout for help? Or will you just stay there and do nothing? Many people are too afraid to do something when there is a fire. But in fact, you must act at once because it is a matter of life and death.
Last Sunday evening my parents went out for a walk with my sister. But I studied alone at home because I would have an English test. Suddenly, I saw bright light coming from my neighbour's kitchen. I thought he was cooking so I went on studying.
Soon, there was a terrible smell in the air and I knew something was wrong. I went out and saw a big fire coming out of my neighbour's kitchen. So I shouted "Fire! Fire!" But no one heard or came out.
I ran quickly back into my house to call 119, and then I rang my neighbour's doorbell and knocked at the door, but there was no response. Seeing a slightly open window, I managed to climb in and found my neighbour sleeping in his bedroom. I woke him up and we rushed out of the house together.
We tried our best to pour water through the kitchen window, but the fire was too big. Luckily, the firemen came and put out the fire quickly. When my parents came back, they found I was dirty and tired. After my neighbour told them the whole story, they were happy and said I was a brave boy.
