Forests are large pieces of land covered with big trees. They are found all over the world, especially in places where there is enough sunshine and much rainfall. Many kinds of materials（材料）come from forests. To build a house, we need wood for doors and windows. Beautiful chairs and tables are also made of wood.
Teak（柚木）wood is very useful for ship-building. It is used for all parts of a ship where wood and metal come in contact（接触）, for it has a kind of oil to keep metal away from rust（铁锈）. It can also stop the attack of white ants and other insects. For this, teak wood is an important railway building material.
Forests are no less important than useful. They are the home of wild animals. Without them, those animals would run among the places where we live and work. There would be no peace for man.
Forests are helpful to weather, too. When it is very hot, they can be a good place for people to stay away from the sun. In winter, they can keep us from the cold. Forests can also stop the land from being washed away by heavy rain for the trees hold the soil together. So it would be foolish to cut down trees freely.

to become a volunteer firefighter because her father was one. Sadly, when she was 14, her father died
and she was never able to volunteer with him. Renee's story doesn't end there, however, which is why I
think of her as a true hero. She was strong-minded and never gave up, which makes her a good firefighter.
Some days she must be ready to deal with any emergency, like fighting a fire, dealing with a car
accident or helping someone who's sick. Other days she is in the driver's seat. Sometimes Renee works
nine to eleven days a month on 24-hour shifts. She also has a family to take care of. Her husband is a
firefighter, too.
Renee remembers the first time she fought a fire. She was woken up early in the morning by the alarm
(警报). She said she was very nervous but did what she had to do.
When I asked Renee what the best part of her job is, she replied, "Helping people and saving their lives."
I think that shows she is a true hero. She's always glad to do anything for anyone in need. With 140 people
in her station, Renee is one of the only three women.
I think she's great. We could never live without people like her who is glad to help others. Renee's deed
helps me believe that I can do anything. I hope someday to be just like her, to wake up and help people
every day.
