The Hero
"Fire! Fire!" what terrible words to hear when one wakes up in a strange house in the middle of the night! It was a large, old. wooden house--the sort that burns easily--and my room was on the top floor. I jumped out of bed, opened the door and stepped out into the passage. It was full of thick smoke.
I began to run, but as I was still only halfawake, instead of going towards the stairs I went in the opposite direction. The smoke grew thicker and I could see flames all around. The floor became hot under my bare feet. I found an open door and ran into a room to get to the window. But before I could reach it, one of my feet caught in something soft and I fell dom, The thing I had fallen over felt like a bundle of clothes, and I picked it Llp to protect my face from the smoke and heat. Just then the floor gave way under me and I crashed to the floor below with pieces of burning wood all around me.
I saw a flaming doorway in front, put the bundle over my face and ran. My feet burned me terrible, but I got through. As I reached the cold air outside, my bundle of clothes gave a thin cry. I nearly dropped it in my surprise. Then I saw a crowd gathered in the street. A woman in a night dress au d a borrowed man's coat screamed as she saw me and came running madly. 找中小學(xué)生語(yǔ)文題庫(kù)，就搜微信“易優(yōu)閱讀寶”
"My baby! My baby!" she cried. The crowd cheered wildly as she took the smokeblackened bundle out of my arms, I had some difficulty in recognizing her. She was the Mayor's wife and I had saved her baby. I was a hero!
無(wú)意之中成英雄
“著火了！著火了！”當(dāng)我睡在一間陌生的房屋里時(shí)，半夜里傳來(lái)了這種非?？膳碌穆曇?。那是一棟又大又舊的木屋——非常容易燒著的那種，而我的房間在頂層。我跳下床，打開(kāi)門，出來(lái)到了走廊上，那里已經(jīng)是濃煙滾滾了。
我開(kāi)始跑起來(lái)。但因?yàn)槿匀贿€是半睡半醒，我不是朝樓梯而是朝相反的方向跑去。煙霧越來(lái)越濃，四處火舌沖天。我光著腳，感到腳下的地板也熱起來(lái)了。我找到了一扇開(kāi)著的門，就朝房間的窗戶沖去。但還沒(méi)有到窗戶邊，我的一只腳被一個(gè)軟軟的東西絆住，摔倒了。將我絆倒的東西好像是一捆衣服．我把它撿起來(lái)遮住臉，用它擋住煙火和熱氣。正在那時(shí)，我腳底下的地板塌下去了，我和身邊那些一塊快燃燒著的木板一道掉到了下面一層房間的地板上。

我見(jiàn)前面的門口也燒著了，就用那捆衣服擋住臉跑了起來(lái)。我的腳被燙得夠嗆，但是終于沖出來(lái)了。當(dāng)我沖到外面時(shí)，我手里的那捆衣服發(fā)出了微弱的哭聲，我驚訝得幾乎把它扔掉。后來(lái)，我看見(jiàn)一群人聚集在街上。一個(gè)身穿睡衣、外面罩著一件借來(lái)的男大衣的女人看見(jiàn)我時(shí)，尖叫起來(lái)，并發(fā)瘋似的跑了過(guò)來(lái)。
“我的孩子！我的孩子！”她喊道。當(dāng)她從我手中接過(guò)被煙熏黑的那個(gè)包裹時(shí)，人群高興地狂呼起來(lái)。我費(fèi)了點(diǎn)兒勁才認(rèn)出她來(lái)，她是市長(zhǎng)夫人。我救了她的孩子，我成了英雄
