22、When my son, Mark, was in the third grade, he saved all his pocket money for over three months to buy holiday presents. The third Saturday in December, Mark said he had made his list and had twenty dollars in his pocket.

I drove him to a nearby supermarket. Mark picked up a hand basket and went in while I waited and watched in the car. It took Mark over 45 minutes to choose his presents. Finally he came to the checkout counter (交款处) and reached into his pocket for his money. It was not there! There was a hole in his pocket, but no money. Mark stood there holding his basket, tears falling down his face.

Then a surprising thing happened. A woman came up to Mark and took him in her arms. “You would help me a lot if you let me pay for you,” said the woman. “It would be the most wonderful gift you could give me. I only ask that one day you will pass it on. When you grow up, I would like you to find someone you can help. When you help others, I know you will feel as good about it as I do now.”

Mark took the money, dried his tears and ran back to the checkout counter as fast as he could. That year we all enjoyed our gifts almost as much as Mark enjoyed giving them to us.

“Boys and girls, today we will take a special kind of trip! We will not leave the school, but we will be able to see a faraway place by taking a tour on the Internet. We call this an online trip because it is on the computer. Today, we will visit Alnwick Castle.” Mr Johnson teaches us geography. After saying that in class, he taught us how to use the computer to visit the castle.

Alnwick Castle is a real castle in England. It is about 250 miles northeast to Oxford, about twenty miles south to Scotland and forty miles north to Newcastle. During our wonderful and special trip, we knew that the castle was first built for military (军事的) use in 1096. Since 1309 it has become a living house. Some modern things were added in the castle gradually. It was even one of the first homes in England to have electricity (电). Now it is a comfortable and large place to live. After Windsor Castle, it is the second largest castle in England that people lived in. The Percy family live in the castle but now they only use a part of it. They open the castle to the public (公众) throughout the summer. This castle is also the place that is popular with directors (导演).

24、   Emergencies（紧急情况）don’t happen very often. But when they do, you want to get help first. No one wants to spend time looking up the phone numbers.

In 1968, the United States government wanted one number that people could call for emergencies. They decided that 911 was easy to remember and people could dial it quickly. The very first 911 call was made on February 16, 1968, in Alabama. Today, 911 is used for emergencies in most parts of the United States and many parts of Canada

Other countries may use other numbers. In Great Britain, it’s 999. If you’re not sure which emergency number is used in your area, check your phone book.

When to call

Never call 911 as a joke or just to see what might happen. The only time you should call 911 is when a person is badly hurt or in danger right now! So call when there is a fire, a car accident, or sudden sickness, etc.

When in an emergency call

When you dial the 911 operator（接线员）, it’s always OK to give out your information. Speak slowly and clearly when you explain what’s happening. What happened? Where are you? Who needs help?

Don’t hang up（挂断）!

If you have to call 911, do not hang up until the operator tells you it’s OK to do so. That way, you can be sure that the operator has all the information to offer help fast.

A dog named Faith dialed 911 when her owner who was in a wheelchair fell and needed help. She had been taught to use a speed-dial function.

【1】The emergency number 911 was first used in ________ in the USA.

A．1958

B．1968

C．1978

D．1999

【2】Why was 911 chosen to be the emergency call?

B．a girl feels bored

C．an old lady falls off the stairs, unable to stand up

D．some people can’t get out of a burning building

【4】Which is the RIGHT thing to do?
