Question

【题目】 Alice is only 6 years old. She comes from the USA. She is very brave and smart.

Alice woke up at 4 o’clock last Sunday morning. Suddenly, she smelled something strange. She looked around and found that the kitchen was on fire. Her parents were still sleeping. She went to wake them up as quickly as she could. Then, she made a phone call to the fire station. At that time, the smoke became thicker and thicker and they could only stay in the bedroom. Her father tried hard to take some wet towels (毛巾) out of the washroom. And then he asked Alice and her mother to cover their mouths and noses with the wet towels, lie down on the floor and wait for the firefighters (消防员). Several minutes later, the firefighters arrived. They put out the fire in time.

“My daughter did what I taught her. She kept calm (平静的) and was brave when she found the fire. She saved the lives of our family. She is really great. We’re proud of her,” said Alice’s father. Now, Alice is heroine (女英雄) in many people’s heart.
