11．Bobby Qualls was shopping when he received a text message：Fire on Beechmont，one-story house，child trapped inside．"I was picking out gifts for the family our engine house adopted for Christmas，"remembers Qualls，who has been fighting fires in Memphis for 24years．"I had this sinking feeling as I got in my car and headed over．"
The last time Qualls had been on Beechmont Street was to install smoke detectors （感應(yīng)器） at the Bateman-Tubbs home．He'd been on a secret task to see if they needed extra help during the holidays．There he discovered that the four Bateman-Tubbs children were sleeping on bare mattresses （床墊），and he found two of the boys playing outside in 30-degree weather with no shoes or coats．
Qualls learned that Leonard Tubbs was doing his best to make ends meet laying floors while Kimberly Bateman stayed home with the kids．
"When Bobby told me his team wanted to be Secret Santas and buy my kids toys，at first I thought we didn't need any help，"Bateman recalls．"It really touched me．I told him what the kids really needed was warm clothes．"
That's exactly what Qualls was shopping for on December 9，2010：winter jackets for Christopher，seven； JoJo，four； Madison，one； and two-month-old Charles．While driving over to Beechmont Street，he dialed Bateman's cell phone．She answered on the first ring，screaming，"The house is on fire-JoJo's trapped inside!"
By the time Qualls reached the house，the family had gotten out，but their home was severely damaged．His coworkers had found JoJo hiding under a pile of clothes in a back bedroom．He had stopped breathing and had been given CPR and rushed to the hospital．Qualls learned that JoJo was now on life support and might not make it through the night．He rushed to the hospital with Lt．Mark Eskew，who placed a stuffed teddy bear in a firefighter's suit on JoJo's bed．
"I just kept praying my little boy would open his eyes，"Bateman recalls．"There was nothing else I could do．They were pumping black and thick liquid out of his lungs and stomach for days．"
After a few days，though，JoJo regained consciousness，and the tubes were taken out of his throat．While he began to slowly recover，the local newspaper and TV stations got hold of the story，and the Secret Santa Plan of Qualls and his fellow firefighters snowballed．Before long，the fire station was overflowing with boxes of toys，food，towels，and clothes．People called，wanting to donate furniture and appliances （電器） too．By December 23，Bateman and Tubbs had moved their kids into a new rental home．By Christmas Eve，JoJo was ready to leave the hospital，and the firefighters were ready to deliver the family their very own Christmas miracle．
"These guys aren't just firefighters，"says Bateman，"they're our guardian angels．If they hadn't installed a smoke detector that first day they came to our house，we wouldn't have known when the fire started．Then they went the extra ten miles to give us a Christmas．"

分析 文章內(nèi)容主要講述了一個消防員在收到發(fā)生火災(zāi)信息之后，第一時間趕往現(xiàn)場，救助被困孩子的故事．
解答 67：A細節(jié)題．由第一段最后一句"'I had this sinking feeling as I got in my car and headed over．'"可知，讀完了消息之后我就開車前往了火災(zāi)現(xiàn)場，結(jié)合選項，正確答案為A．
68：D細節(jié)題．由第一段可知 Bobby Qualls 是一個消防員．因此由第六段第二句"His co-workers had found JoJo hiding under a pile of clothes in a back bedroom．"可知拯救 JoJo 的也是消防員，故正確答案為D．
69：B推斷題．由最后一段第二句"If they hadn't installed a smoke detector that first day they came to our house，we wouldn't have known when the fire started．"可知如果他們沒有安裝感應(yīng)器，我們就不會發(fā)現(xiàn)發(fā)生了火災(zāi)．因此正是 smoke detector 發(fā)現(xiàn)了火災(zāi)，因此孩子才在第一時間得救，所以B項正確．70．D 文意題．根據(jù)文章內(nèi)容主要講述了一個消防員在收到發(fā)生火災(zāi)信息之后，第一時間趕往現(xiàn)場，救助被困孩子的故事．結(jié)合選項，D為正確選項，目的在于表揚他的英勇行為．故選D
