Just like many other parts of Australia, the Lake Tyers region（泰尔斯湖地区）suffers（遭受）from wildfires（野火）. But this part is different from others because of its fire team—the firefighters（消防队员）are all women.

Together they ask the government（政府）to give them firefighter training.
After their fire team is set up（建立）, this well-trained team put out many fires. Their job is not only to protect people and houses, but also to save（拯救） their own history. They help to find hundreds of old artifacts（文物）on their land.
“When we first set up the team, some people call us the Banana Women, ”Charmaine said, “Because we wear bright yellow uniforms（制服）. ”They like the name so much that they keep calling themselves this name. They are the bravest（勇敢）“Banana Women” in Australia!

It was a cold winter afternoon before Christmas. My parents and I sat on the bench in Washington，Union Station, waiting for the train. There were many people inside the waiting hall.
A boy sat nearby. His worn jacket, pale face, dirty hands all seemed to tell me that he was homeless.

The boy thanked them and opened the box with joy and care. Suddenly he stopped. In the direction(方向) to which he looked, I saw an old man in rags(衣衫褴褛的)—in a worn sweater, worn trousers and open shoes, entering the hall.
Putting the meal box aside, the boy stood up and helped the old man to his seat. He took off his jacket and covered it over the old man’s shoulders, saying, "A gentleman brought me this warm meal but I just finished eating. I hate to waste good food. Can you help me out " He put the still-warm meal box in the old man's hands without waiting for an answer.
"Sure, son, but if only you ▲ that sandwich with me. It's too much for a man at my age.

Examples of signal words are “The most important point is …” and “Remember that…”. Be sure to include in your notes information that your teacher repeats and writes on the blackboard. Write quickly so that you can include all the important information in your notes. Do this by writing abbreviations(缩写) such as med for medicine, using symbols such as % for percent, and writing short sentences.
3. After Class

Dear chairperson ，
I would like to join the Wildlife Protection Club. I am a Grade 8 student. I like to see the animal world and I am interested in learning about different kinds of wild animals.
However , people cut down trees and forests to change the living areas of wild animals into farmland. As a result , the number of wild animals is becoming smaller and smaller. So I want to do something to protect them. I think wild animals are useful to people. I can take part in activities from 9 a.m.to 10 a.m. on Sundays. I will be happy if I can become a member of the Wild Animals Club. You can call me on 0519-7088888 or email me at Li Hua @ . (联系方式) I hope I can be a member of the Wildlife Protection Club.
Yours sincerely ，
Li Hua
