Question

Li Lu’ou thought he did the right thing by calling 110 when he saw his two classmates in trouble on the corner of a dark street.

Li and his classmates from NO.2 Middle School Affiliated to Beijing Normal University spent this year’s Valentine’s Day selling roses on the street.As night approached，they cycled back with over 200 yuan in their pockets.

Suddenly，a gang of robbers jumped out at them.The five robbers were tall and strong，so Li ran away to call the police.He thought it would be the most practical thing to do and he was right.His classmates returned safe and sound.

So，what would you have done in Li’s situation？Would you have got off your bike and fought the robbers to rescue your friends?

A new Beijing student code does not encourage you to risk your life to help them.

The new code was introduced to more than 1.7 million primary and middle school students in the city at the start of the new term.

It has cut words which might encourage youngsters to risk their lives for others dangerous situations.Gone are the old calls，which had been in place since 1987，for students to“fight criminals courageously”and “sacrifice themselves to save others”．

Children’s heroic acts usually left them injured or even dead because they failed to fully foresee the dangers of their actions.

A well­known example was Lai Ning，who was listed among the “top 10 model young pioneers” in 1989 after he lost his life trying to put out a fire at the age of 14.

The deaths connected to teenagers’“heroic acts” started a nation­wide debate about the protection of youngsters.

Wei Lusheng，a parent in Beijing，said schools must first teach children how to protect themselves，before learning from heroes.

But educators thought the spirit of courage should not be thrown away in the new student code.

“Getting rid of the words‘fight criminals courageously’do not mean we deny the spirit of‘fearlessness’and ‘readiness’to help others.”said Li Jing，an official in Beijing.“But，we should be more rational about the spirit of sacrifice.”

Li Lu’ou agreed.“Cherishing life is no reason to be a coward，” he said.“but you need make sure you are able to offer help.For example，it would cause more trouble if I jumped into water to rescue someone drowning，but didn’t know how to swim.In that situation it’s better to call the police or an adult.”

Answer 1

【解析】　从第三段“...The five robbers were tall and strong，so Li ran away to call the police.He thought it would be the most practical thing to do and...”可以得出答案。

【答案】　D

【解析】　一位家长说得好：“...schools must first teach children how to protect themselves，before learning from heroes.”所以现有的student code中就把那些不利于学生自我保护的内容给删除了(Gone are the old calls，...for students to “fight criminals courageously” and “sacrifice themselves to save others”．)。

【答案】　C

【解析】　文中提到孩子们的英雄行为常给他们带来伤害甚至死亡(Children’s heroic acts usually let them injured or even dead...)然后又以赖宁为例进行说明。可以推断如果赖宁按照现有的student code去执行，那他就不会以一人之躯去扑灭大火了。

【答案】　C

【解析】　从倒数第二段可以推断出：摒弃了“勇敢地同犯罪分子作斗争”这些字样，并不意味着就反对“英勇无畏”和“乐于助人”的精神。因此，deny的意思是“反对”。

【答案】　D

【解析】　从最后一段中“But you need make sure you are able to offer help...”可知在帮助别人之前一定要确保自己有这个能力。

【答案】　D
