Bob Wallace was 25 minutes from home in Tenne...

Bob Wallace was 25 minutes from home in Tennessee, on a cold December night in 2015 when he got a cell phone call from his mother. “The mountain is on fire,” she screamed, “and Brian’s up there!”

Wallace’s family owned a dozen rental cabins (小屋) on Shields Mountain, and Wallace’s friend and fellow rental-cabin owner, Brian McGee, aged 56, was up there trying to put the fire out by himself. Wallace, 32, lived on the mountain too.

Wallace turned around and headed for a dirt road. He made it about halfway up the steep, winding path before his front-wheel-drive car gave up. He called McGee, who drove down in his pickup so they could fight the fire together.

They headed first to their rental cabins. “I wanted to make sure our guests were gone. They were,” says Wallace. At that point, he had a choice: try to save his cabins or rescue people renting other cabins nearby. “On the moun¬tain, you don’t have many locals. They’re mostly tourists who don’t know their way around,” he says.

Over the next two hours, the two friends drove through the smoky moun¬tain, knocking on doors and leading panicked people to safety. “I know that mountain so well,” Wallace says, “I could drive and know exactly where I am just by time traveled.” Thanks to their brave and immediate action, the two helped 14 people out of the danger.

Fourteen people died that night in Sevier County. But the fire didn’t take away a single life on Shields Mountain. And though his home and business were destroyed, Wallace remains calm. “I wasn’t worried about my loss, not when I saw those families trapped on the mountain,” he says, “I knew I was gonna help them.”

1.Where was Wallace when the fire broke out?

A. On the way to visit his mother.　　 B. Away from his home.

C. On the way to the cabins.　　 D. On a dirt road.

2.What is NOT true according to the passage?

It was a cold winter’s night when I stopped for gas on my way home from work. I was tired and had a slight 36.

I worked in a 37 doctor’s office and this was one of those days when the unexpected happened, making the schedule run 38 than usual. It seemed I was going to be late 39 home and my husband, being the 40 person, would be ready to pronounce me late once again. Maybe 41 I hurried, I could still make it home.

I was heading inside to 42 for my gas when I noticed an older couple at the counter. I heard them asking for 43 to the local hospital. It was the same hospital that I had just 44 a few minutes ago.

The young man at the counter was trying to be 45 in explaining how to get there, with two other people making 46. One of them was 47 trying to give them a whole different route back. It was then that I walked over to the couple and said, “Would you like to follow me to the 48?”

A look of 49 crossed the woman’s face.

“I’m going right by there,” I said, which wasn’t a(an) 50 since I had just made up my mind to do 51 that.

I got in my car and began the journey back. I was trying to watch to be sure they were right 52 me. It took only fifteen minutes to get there as rush hour traffic was beginning to 53. I felt better than I had all day and my headache was nearly gone.

Later, as I arrived home, my husband 54, “So you aren’t ever late any more.”

I said, “Sometimes it’s 55 to be late.”

On a cold November afternoon, my mother and I were walking home from a pizza store. I was feeling a little tired as I was carrying our shopping bags of snacks. They were so heavy that I decided to throw away some things. So I started to walk to the garbage can while I noticed that a poor man was holding a paper bag with his dirty hand. He headed over to another nearby garbage can and started looking for something.

I suddenly felt very guilty because I was going to throw away a new drink just because it was heavy. I walked up to him and handed the drink and some snacks over to him. The man looked up in surprise and took what I gave him.

With a big smile on his face he said, “Wow! You are the first person to give me some sandwiches and drink, and some tasty food. This is my son’s lucky day.”

With that, he thanked me happily. There was a warm feeling inside me and I knew I had done something good. I now understand what the real meaning of “Giving is getting” is.
