Read the passage and answer the following questions. ( 根据短文内容完整回答下列问题):

Every child has a dream of what they want to be, right? When Renee Butts was young, her dream was to become a volunteer firefighter because her father was one. Sadly, when she was 14, her father died and was never able to volunteer with her. Renee’s story doesn’t end there. Finally she becomes a good firefighter.

Some days she must be ready to deal with any emergency (紧急事件), like fighting a fire, dealing with a car accident or helping someone who is 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 when she fought a fire. She was awoken early on a winter morning by the alarm. She said she was very nervous but did what she had to do.

When I asked Renee what the best part of her job was, she replied, “Helping people and saving their lives. ” I think that shows signs of being a true hero (英雄). She’s always glad to do anything for anyone in trouble. 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 are glad to help others. Renee’s deed helps me believe that I can do anything. I hope some day to be just like her: always be ready to help people in trouble every day.

Going to the beach at the weekend in Australia is a very popular activity, just as much as going to a shopping centre or doing a sport. The Australian Beach Culture is similar to that in California and the Mediterranean.

Australians live by the sea, so it makes it very convenient for them to spend the weekend on the beach. Besides some places that can have winter weather, most of Australia is sunny throughout the whole year. This also provides a good chance for the development of the Australian Beach Culture.

However, when you go to the beach, there are some things you should consider. You should know that because the ozone layer (臭氧层) above some parts of Australia is thin, there is a great danger from the sunlight. The sun here is very strong and it burns the skin really fast. Australia has one of the highest rates(比率) of skin cancer in the world. So if you go to the beach, take hats and sunglasses.

Besides this, there are some other things that you should know. Sometimes the sea seems to be very peaceful, but the currents(水流) in the water can be very strong. So, if you don't know very much about the sea, you should swim only in the safe area between the flags at the beach. By the way, people are not allowed to sell anything on the beach without an official permission (官方许可证).
