It was 3:12 a.m.when nine-year-old Glenn Kreamer awoke to the smell of burning.Except for the cracking of flames somewhere below there was not a sound in the two-story house at Baldwin,Long Island.With his father away on night duty at a local factory,Glenn was worried about the safety of his mother,his sister Karen,14 and his 12-year-old brother Todd.He ran downstairs through the smoke-filled house to push and pull Karen and Todd until they sat up.Then he helped each one through the house to the safety of the garden.There,his sister and brother,taking short and quick breaths and coughing,collapsed on the lawn.
The nine-year-old boy raced back into the house and upstairs to his mother's room.He found it impossible to wake her up.Mrs Kreamer,a victim of the smoke,was unconscious,and there was nobody to help Glenn carry her to the garden.But the boy remained calm and,as a fireman said later,“acted with all the self-control of a trained adult”.
On the bedroom telephone,luckily still wording,Glenn called his father and,leaving Mr
Kreamer to telephone the fire brigade and ambulance service,got on with the task of saving his mother.
First he filled a bucket with water from the bathroom and threw water over his mother and her bed.Then,with a wet cloth around his head he went back to the garden.
He could hear the fire engine coming up,but how would the firemen find his mother in the smoke-filled house where flames had almost swallowed up the ground floor?
Grasping firmly a ball of string from the garage,Glenn raced back into the house and dashed upstairs to his mother's room.Tying one end of the string to her hand he ran back,laying out the string as he went,through the hall and back out into the garden.
Minutes later he was telling fire chief John Coughlan,“The string will lead you to mother.” Mrs Kreamer was carried to safety as the flames were breaking through her bedroom floor.
67.Why did Glenn run downstairs first?
A.He wanted to find out what was happening.
B.He was worried about his mother's safety.
C.He wanted to save his sister and brother.
D.He went to see if his father had come back from work.
68.How did Glenn help the firemen to find his mother?
A.By throwing water all over her and her bed.
B.By carrying her to safety with his brother.
C.By pushing and pulling his brother.
D.By tying a string to his brother's hand.
69.What did Glenn do to protect himself in the fire?
A.He put a wet cloth around his head.
B.He threw water all over himself.
C.He hid himself in the bathroom.
D.He rushed out to the lawn.
70.Glenn saved his family because ______.

This morning on my way to school I was deep moved by what I saw outside a bank.An old man was counting his money in the front of the bank.Suddenly a young man came running and knocked him down.To make things bad,his money was lying in all direction.In no time the people around rush to pick the money up while the old man stood there,not know what to do.Surprisingly,everyone gave back the money they had just picked.The old man counted the money again and found that not a single bill was missed.To my great joy,there are now a lot of nice people in your life.It's true what honesty is more important than money.
