A forest fire that burned 55 square kilometers was finally brought under control on Wednesday morning. The fire started on Sunday in Black Bear State Park and quickly spread to nearby areas.

On Monday, police evacuated(疏散) the small town of Lawson and ordered the people to leave their homes. The fire destroyed 20 homes in the area and caused heavy damage to 40 others.

Nobody was hurt. Officials said the damage to homes and cars was between $l million and $2 million. The government declared (宣布) the town a disaster (灾难) area. The fire spread quickly in the hot, dry weather. Fire fighting was difficult because of strong winds. Firemen from 55 fire departments in the state joined the National Fire Service to put out the fire. Some kept fighting for 24 hours. Fire engines and helicopters(直升飞机)dropped water onto the fire. In order to control the fire, firemen cleared a way around the fire.

Police closed King Road to traffic on Tuesday because of heavy smoke. Thousands of tourists had to drive an hour north to Queen Road to pass the fire area.

Some people did not follow the police order. Paul Grayson sent his wife and two children to safety, but he stayed. As the fire came within 50 feet of his house, he started thinking, “Am I foolish?  Did I stay here too long, just for a house?”

66. When and where did the forest fire start?    67. What did the police order the people to do?

68. Why was fire fighting difficult?      69. How did the firemen drop water onto the fire?

70.What kind of person do you think Paul Grayson was?

You speak, write a letter, or make a telephone . Your words carry a message. People

communicate (交流) with words. But do you know people also communicate without

words? A smile on your face shows you are happy or friendly. Tears (眼泪) in your eyes tell others that you are sad.

When you put up your hands in class, the teacher knows you want to say something or ask questions. You shake (摇) your head and people know you are saying "No". You nod(点头) and people know you are saying "Yes". Other things can also carry messages. For example, a sign at the bus  stop helps you to know which bus to take. A sign  on

the door tells you where to go in or out. Have you ever thought that there are a lot of

signs around you and that you receive messages from them all the time? People can

communicate in many other ways. An artist(艺术家) can use his drawings to tell about

beautiful mountains , the blue seas and many other things. Books are written to tell you about all the wonderful things in the world and also about people and their ideas. Books, magazines, TV, radio and films all help us communicate with others. They can help us

to know what is going on in the world and what other people are thinking about.                                Ways of communication
