In 1568, the Untied 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 Alibama. 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.

My friend Stephen decided to run a marathon. First, he went to a doctor to make sure he didn’t have heart illness. The doctor told him he was fit enough to do it and then he started running every afternoon. Each day he ran a little longer.
The biggest problem during the marathon is the heart exhaustion (耗尽). Experts say that on a hot and wet day we can lose up to four liters of water of our body. When someone suffers from the heart exhaustion, he will feel very tired or even pass out.
An expert advises marathon runners to train in advance (提前). A month before the race, a marathon runner should be able to go for 15 miles without feeling exhausted. I’m happy that Stephen almost reaches it.
I’m proud of him, but I miss our afternoon drinking tea, eating snacks while we were watching the football game on TV. I asked him whether he would give up running if he didn’t do well in marathon. He said he didn’t make it this time, he would keep trying.

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 1568, the Untied 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 Alibama. 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 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(快递拨号)function.
1. The emergency number 911 was first used in ____ in the USA.

My friend Stephen decided to run a marathon. First, he went to a doctor to make sure he didn’t have heart illness. The doctor told him he was fit enough to do it and then he started running every afternoon. Each day he ran a little longer.
The biggest problem during the marathon is the heart exhaustion (耗尽). Experts say that on a hot and wet day we can lose up to four liters of water of our body. When someone suffers from the heart exhaustion, he will feel very tired or even pass out.
An expert advises marathon runners to train in advance (提前). A month before the race, a marathon runner should be able to go for 15 miles without feeling exhausted. I’m happy that Stephen almost reaches it.
I’m proud of him, but I miss our afternoon drinking tea, eating snacks while we were watching the football game on TV. I asked him whether he would give up running if he didn’t do well in marathon. He said he didn’t make it this time, he would keep trying.
