The Southern California (加利福尼亚州)wildfire started on Tuesday morning. By the end of the day, it covered 47 square miles. The fire changed the life in the area, causing hour-long traffic jams, and making the people leave their homes.

The fire travelled really fast. So the governor(州长)Jerry Brown acted quickly and sent a state of emergency(紧急情况) soon after the fire started. Usually the state of emergency comes much later, after a fire has caused serious problems over several days.

The government ordered the evacuation(疏散) of 34,000 homes and 87,000 people. When one family failed to move away, firefighters went to protect their home. Six of the firefighters were once trapped by the fire.“We just sat there and waited for the fire to blow over,”firefighter Cody Anderson says.

The Southern California fire wasn't the only one burning in the state. The Clayton fire in Northern California, burned more than 175 buildings by the end of last week. Now, the firefighters have put out 40% of the fire and some evacuated people are able to return to their homes. But firefighters will have to go on fighting the fire, because many buildings are sill in danger.

Good news is that on Tuesday afternoon the police said they caught the man who set the fire. He was Dam in Anthony Pashilk, a 40-year-old worker. The police believe he set fire in the state many times, including the Clayton fire.

Wednesday's weather will make fighting the Southern California fire difficult. Hot, dry conditions(条件) and strong wind may make the work even harder.

A cup of coffee is a good way for many people to start their day. It can also pass on kindness.

Manyang Kher used to be a Sudanese child refugee(难民). When he was three years old, his village was burnt in the war. He was separated from his parents and never saw them again. He became one of the 20,000 young Sudanese who had to leave their home for Ethiopia’s Gambella area. He lived there as a refugee for 13 years.

When he was 16, Kher went to the United States. While he was in college, he started a program to help the refugees. Now, he owns a coffee company (公司) called 734, which is a part of his program. The company has helped more than 200,000 refugees living in the Gambella area till now. Kher said, “I know the difficulties and pains they face every day. You see kids die from hunger. You see kids dying of illnesses. You see kids running away from the refugee camp to find a place to be home, but die on the way.”

Eighty percent of the money made by the coffee company is used to send more of the children to school. And, as Kher explains, the money helps refugees to help themselves. For example, a cup of 734 coffee can also buy one fishing net(网) for a refugee. They can fish for themselves.

Kher sells the coffee online and to coffee stores. Megan Murphy owns a coffee store in Washington, D.C. She serves 734 coffee in her store and people love it. The coffee tastes delicious, so it’s a win-win on both sides.

1.Kher left his home when he was three years old because ________.

A.his parents opened a store B.his village was burnt in the war

C.he had to move to the US D.he lost his home in an earthquake

2.Kher helps the refugees by ________.

A.making fishing nets B.offering coffee to them

C.starting a program D.sending them back home

3.We can infer from this passage that ________.

A.Kher sells his coffee both online and to coffee stores

B.you’re helping the refugees when enjoying 734 coffee

C.coffee from Megan Murphy’s store tastes delicious

D.Megan Murphy is one of the refugees in Gambella

Father and son

The other day, I was sitting in the study and working on my website, a cup of tea on the table and old songs from my computer. It was a special pleasure to have such a _________ day after weeks of hiking, snowboarding and going crazy.

“Hi dad! Want some orange juice, graybeard?” Coyote yelled (叫喊) to me much louder than_________“No, just bring me some chips!” I shouted back.

One time, when I misheard what he said three times in a row, he ___________that I had become too old and started to hear worse. Since then, yelling at me has become a kind of family joke.

“Control yourself, graybeard,” I said to myself, trying not to yell something like,“Why the hell would you need another tattoo after you already made that huge first one?”

The next moment I realized that my yelling would not _________ anything; the tattoo was already on Coyote's skin.

And then I thought: “Hey, what if I get a tattoo myself?”
