Eric Davis got interested in firefighting when he was in the army. And while

much of his job today is related to EMS (emergency medical services), his first love is

fighting fires.

“I enjoy the job and working with people. I enjoy firefighting,” he says. 外研版高一英语必修一 Module 3 My first ride on a train 单元测试（不含听力和单选）和答案和部分解析

3 / 20 Davis studied in a firefighting school for about three months and took part in

classroom work, physical exercise, and hands-on training such as fighting live fires in

buildings filled with straw (稻草).

Davis says the blindfold (蒙眼的) training prepared him for real fires. “By the

time we get to a fire, if it's going pretty good, the whole house will be filled with

smoke. And anytime you get near the fire, you won't be able to see at all. Zero

visibility (能见性) is the same as darkness. The blindfold works.”

Davis believes his most important duty is “making sure I'm prepared for any

situation I might come across.” To keep physically fit, he runs several times a week

and works out. He takes classes to keep up his skills and trains regularly by fighting

practice fires. Sometimes this includes cutting holes in roofs (房顶), which helps

allow smoke to pass out and improves visibility for firefighters inside the building.

Firefighting means plenty of risks. Besides, Davis says, “You have to be willing

to help any person you come across.” If someone is trapped (使陷入困境), Davis or

another firefighter will put himself at risk to get the person out. Davis says he is not

afraid when he's fighting a fire. He does what's needed.

25. What does Davis say about firefighting?

A. It's his main job.

B. He likes it very much.

C. He learned it in the army.

D. It's unbelievably difficult.

26. Why were learners trained blindfold?

A. To recreate a real fire situation.

B. To experience how the blind feel.

C. To prepare for firefighting at night.

D. To protect their eyes from the smoke.

27. What can we infer about Davis?

A. He is very good at building work.

B. He tries his best to be a good firefighter.

C. He helps improve the working conditions. 外研版高一英语必修一 Module 3 My first ride on a train 单元测试（不含听力和单选）和答案和部分解析

When we are young we are taught that it's wrong to lie and we should always tell

the truth. Unfortunately, most children lie even if they're told not to. Research carried
