Ⅰ．阅读理解 (每小题2．5分，共10分)

(2025·江西宜春一中高二上期中)When Craig Miller moved to the Catskill mountains in New York after retirement, the journalist wanted to get away from traffic jams and wildfires and enjoy a quieter pace of life．Yet, one year into his stay, he became his town's newest volunteer firefighter．

Driving around town and noticing recruitment (招聘) signs, he decided to dig further．“Speaking to fire chiefs, I realized they are in crisis since more than 60% of all firefighters in the US are volunteers, and rural areas can't get young people to join，” he says．“The chief was trying to recruit me, saying that it didn't matter about my age．” Miller realized that volunteering would be a good way to become a part of the community, so he signed up to train as a firefighter．

“The training owned my life for three months, with night classes and Saturday sessions covering everything from operating a pump panel to throwing ladders，” he says．“We started every session with a ‘donning drill’， racing to put 18k of equipment on in under a minute．We sometimes had to do it four or five times and I was staggering (摇晃) by the end．It immediately improved my fitness．”

Averaging 60 callouts a year, Miller has experienced his hair­raising moments．“I've been on car fires and wildfires, which are stubborn and difficult．Cars can also give off some gnarly fumes when they are melting，” he says．“The worst feeling is when you get paged, show up and you're the only one at the station．That happened once when I was early into my training and it was terrifying thinking I would have to lead the callout．”

The greatest impact has come from helping people during some of the worst moments of their lives．“It's massively rewarding to put yourself out there for strangers and they are so grateful for us, too，” he says．Despite initially thinking he would stop volunteering at 70, Miller is now committed to carrying on．“One of the essential things in life is to feel that your efforts have meaning and that you are making a difference．I'll keep going as long as I'm able．It gets in your blood．” he says．
