Here’s a surprising fact: Of the 1.1 million firefighters in the United States, about 780,000 are volunteers. Roughly a third of the population is ________ by mostly- or all-volunteer fire departments.
Also ________, perhaps. Sometimes they have to pay for their own gear.
I ________ this because I volunteer as a firefighter in Durango, Colorado. I responded to more than 50 calls in 2014, everything from ________ to car accidents. In that period, I spent close to $1,000 on optional gear not supplied by my ________, things like higher-quality flashlights, knives, and better gloves, which make my ________ easier.
Yesterday, a ________ was introduced in Congress that would give a significant tax break to those who volunteer their time as ________ responders. I hope it passes, not because it will put some money in my pocket ________, hey, (that’ll be nice) but because it will ease the financial burden on volunteers and acknowledge their time commitment. I believe it will ________ more people to help.
And we ________ that.
In ________ areas where population density is low and calls for fire and EMS services are relatively rare, it just doesn’t ________ to have career firefighters on the staff 24/7 (全天候). ________, volunteers are used to fill in the ________. We are ready to put our regular lives aside to help someone on what is the ________ day of their life. We have likely never met before, and might never again, but it doesn’t ________ in a crisis. Without volunteers, the whole system would collapse.
There’s a T-shirt that’s popular among us, reading “For Pride, Not ________.” We volunteer because we know our ________ need us. We don’t need a small tax break.

Imagination Stage is a children’s theater in the state of Maryland. A special performance is put on for children with autism (自闭症) each day. People with autism have difficulty communcating and socializing with other people. Children in the theater are allowed to move around during the performance. It’s OK if they shout out or hold their ears when the music is too loud. These special performances are sometimes the only thing that a family can go to the theater together to see if a child has autism.
That is the same idea with Autism on the Seas. This company organizes vacations for families of children with autism, especially vacations on cruise ships. Jamie Grover is director of group development in Autism on the Seas. He said, “With our staff on board, parents know that they are going to be able to relax, enjoy their vacation, and participate in ship activities. They know that their children are well taken care of.”
The benefit of such vacations organized by Autism on the Seas is not waiting in huge lines on departure day. The company has staff to help in the ports. Waiting in long lines or being in the middle of big crowds can cause problem behavior in children with autism. Autism on the Seas helps families avoid situations like that.
Autism on the Seas works with the help of cruise companies like Royal Caribbean. Special times or places are arranged for families to play video games, go skating or rock climbing, or eat dinner. Autism on the Seas also directs families to organizations that can help them pay for these vacations.
Bambi Van Woert from the state of Michigan went on a cruise with her 7-year-old Ben, who has autism. She said, “I would never do something like this myself. I cannot take Ben shopping by myself at this point, so for me to try to do a cruise without help would be absurd.”
1.What makes the children’s theatre Imagination Stage special?
A. That it only allows children with autism to enter.
B. That it puts on plays performed by people with autism.
C. That it mainly puts on plays about people with autism.
D. That it puts on special performances for kids with autism.
2.What do we know about the company Autism on the Seas?
A. It helps families of children with autism pay for vacations.
B. It was started with the help of the cruise company Royal Caribbean.
C. It organizes vacations for families of children with autism.
D. It takes care of kids with autism while their parents are away.
3.The third paragraph mainly tells us ________.
A. some occasions that kids with autism should avoid
B. some behavioural problems of children with autism
C. some activities children with autism can take part in
D. the benefit of vacations organized by Autism on the Seas
4.Bambi Van Woert is mentioned in the last paragraph to show that ________.
A. parents of a child with autism don’t want such trips
B. parents of a child with autism live a very difficult life
C. children with autism don’t like doing anything with their parents
