(沈阳三模)My name is Wang Bing and I'm from Northeast China. I do a special kind of job about fire. People call me a smokejumper. This means that I jump out of airplanes to stop big fires from spreading in the forest!
I live and work in the Daxing'anling Prefecture(地区)in Heilongjiang Province. Thick forests, rich in wildlife, cover the beautiful and wild mountains here. Sadly, fires are quite common at certain times of the year. These fires are very dangerous. They can hurt or even kill people and animals.
When a forest fire starts, my teammates and I act fast. The fires are often difficult to reach, so we fly out in a plane and then jump down with a parachute(降落伞). Once we land, we race to put out the fire. We use simple tools to clear away dead leaves and trees to stop fires from spreading.
It is not easy to be a smokejumper. You have to be very brave, strong and smart. It is also important to be fit. If not, you might hurt yourself when you land. Finally, you need to be able to survive in the wild and know how to find food and a safe place to rest.
My job can be difficult and dangerous. However, I'm very proud of what I do. I love this beautiful land and I will do anything to protect it.

A.A person who jumps out of planes to have a smoke.
B.A person who jumps out of planes to have some fun.
C.A person who jumps out of planes to protect animals.
D.A person who jumps out of planes to fight forest fires.
( )2.Which can best describe Wang Bing's job?
A.Dangerous.
B.Boring.
C.Relaxing.
D.Wellpaid.
( )3.What do Wang Bing and his teammates do when a forest fire starts?
A.They call for more firefighters to come.
B.They wait for help from other firefighters.
