二、阅读理解
(2020·河北中考)Everyone needs help sometimes. People depend on one another. That's why communities have special people ready to lend a helping hand to anyone who needs it.
For example，what would we do without a community fire station？If a home catches fire, as the Jackson place did last week, it might be burned down and people get hurt... or worse. We're so lucky to have firemen to come to save people and put out the fire, safely. If the fire station hadn't come so fast, the Jacksons might have lost everything.
And what about our local police who protect our families, our homes and valuable things？The police have helped so many families this past year, especially saving people and pets and protecting our houses and other things after the heavy rains.
Think about all the other service workers we have in this community. We have people who collect waste and rubbish and keep our community sanitary. We have road workers who put up and repair traffic signs and fix holes in the streets to protect not just us, but our cars! And where would this community be without the teachers in our school and the doctors, and nurses in our community hospitals
Think again about what we eat every day; think again about what we wear every day. We cannot produce them, but we use them all the time. We get a lot from all these tireless workers who keep our community running. We need these people in the community. We depend on each other. Let's support each other and help each other. Only in this way can we make our community a better place.

四、阅读表达
(2022·原创)It was a dark night. I saw bright light in my neighbor's kitchen. I thought he could be having a midnight snack, so I went back to my bed. Soon, there was a burning smell and I thought something must be wrong. At once, I jumped out of bed and went downstairs to have a look. I saw a fire coming out of my neighbor's kitchen. I shouted “Fire！” But there was no one nearby to hear my shouts for help. I ran quickly into my house and called the Fire Department(消防部门) and went back to my neighbor's house. I knocked(敲) at the door and called my neighbor's name, but there was no answer. I tried to break into the house and saved a cat and a rabbit. I tried to pour water through the kitchen window but it was no use, because the fire was too big. Luckily, a fire engine(消防车) arrived and the firemen put out the fire.
When my neighbor came back, he was sad because his kitchen was burnt down, but he thanked me for calling the Fire Department and saving his pets.
A week later, my neighbor invited me to his home for dinner. At his new kitchen, he took a photo of me. Later on, he gave me the photo as a present. It made me very happy.
