Smokejumpers

Every year, wildfires destroy millions of hectares of forest.Homes are damaged, and thousands of people die.Smokejumpers are helping to stop this.

What is the smokejumper?

Smokejumpers are a special type of firefighter.They jump from planes into areas that are difficult to reach by car or on foot, like the middle of a mountain forest.They race to put out fires as fast as they can.

What do smokejumpers do?

At a fire site, smokejumpers first examine the land and decide how to fight the fire.Their main goal is to stop a fire from spreading.Using basic equipment such as shovels and axes, smokejumpers clear land of burnable material like plants and other dry material.They carry water with them too, but only a limited amount.

Who can be a smokejumper?

Although the majority of smokejumpers are men, more women are joining.The most important things are your height and weight.Smokejumpers employed in the US, for example, must be 120 to 200 pounds(54 to 91 kilograms), so they don't get hurt when they land, or get blown by strong winds.Smokejumpers must also be capable of surviving in the wild.

The work is dangerous, and the hours are long.But for these firefighters, smokejumping isn't just an occupation.They love being able to jump out of planes, fight fires, and live in the forest.As a 28-year-old smokejumper Bob Smith says，“This is the best job for tough guys.”

Ⅳ.读后续写

(2023·河北省石家庄市质检一)

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

They'd been planning this forever.From Mya's birth, most likely.Mya's mother, Helena loved hosting parties.And Aunt Beatrice loved birthdays.Together, they'd make her Sweet Sixteen a hundred times bigger, bolder, and brighter than it needed to be.They selected a theme every year and stuck to it.Her fourteenth had been the “Snow White”and her ninth had been the“Frozen”．They never told her what the theme was the day before.She'd just wake up in her birthday morning，a brand new birthday outfit(一套服装) laid neatly on her dresser (an outfit related to the theme, of course) and she would open her door to see the adventure that lay ahead of her that day.

Mya had a few guesses as to what this year's theme would be.A play on the words“Sweet Sixteen”was likely—a candy-themed party, perhaps？But she'd had a baking party a few years ago—and Helena was anything but repetitive.Mya didn't have any interest in cars, so she doubted a sports-car party was on the menu.She'd tried to look through her mother's purchase history online, but her mother had been careful enough to delete everything recent.So the only clue left was the birthday outfit she would receive the next morning.

On the morning of May 1st, Mya woke.The bright sunlight begged her eyes to open and she loved the day that her birthday took place.It was always nice out on May 1st and it never rained.This morning was no different than her previous birthdays.She sat up in her bed and looked at her dresser before slipping out of bed and inspecting the outfit.She unfolded it and held it against her body, seeing how it was like.It reached down, just above the ankle.Mya dressed, eyed herself in the mirror and found it was not so much a pretty outfit as she had received before.It was totally one for blue-collar workers!

注意：续写词数应为150左右。

写作提示：

1．审题：(1)明确故事人物：海伦娜和米娅；(2)厘清主要事件：米娅的妈妈和阿姨喜欢为她办生日派对，而她一直在猜测自己16岁生日派对的主题，可是没有结果，只能期盼着在生日那天早上通过梳妆台上的衣服来判断。那天早上，米娅穿上衣服后，发现自己变成了一位蓝领工人。

2．写作要点：(1)由续写第一段首句“突然，敲门声打断了她的思绪。”可知，第一段可描写米娅的妈妈为米娅的生日派对设计的主题以及派对的过程；(2)由续写第二段首句“一切都做完了，她的脸上露出了甜蜜的微笑。”可知，第二段可描写米娅在生日这天作为蓝领工人劳动后的感受。

参考范文：

Suddenly, her thoughts were interrupted by a knock.Helena walked in.“What's my birthday theme this year, mom？”Mya asked.“Labor！”Helena answered joyously but firmly.Oh, how could she forget she was born on Labor Day！Disappointed about not having a party, Mya unwillingly followed Helena to the van.On arriving at a farm, she noticed the vast land of wheat spreading over the horizon that made a splendid view itself.Their job was to remove the weeds.

With everything done, her face shone with a sweet smile.Several drops of sweat traced a path on her pink cheeks and she turned to Helena：“This is not bad, and I feel I've grown up enough to help you with something.”Helena pulled Mya into her arms and planted a big kiss on her forehead.The sun in May was shining bright like a fire ball.Picturing the good harvest of this year, they hit the road with a happy birthday song echoing in the van.
