3 . 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

One sentence from the news in Washington     1     (remain) in my mind since a trip last summer: When you see people run against the crowd     2    (escape) from the danger, they are     3     (probable) firefighters, police or journalists.

I think this is most true for the firefighters. Whenever or wherever     4    (disaster) happen-9/11 Attacks in New York 19 years ago or the explosion in Tianjin on August 12, 2015—it is always the firefighters     5     take the lead to run to the very center, saving lives by     6    (risk) their own. I cried today near the explosion site, not because of the smoke from the ongoing fire but because of a short message a firefighter sent to a trusted friend that went viral online. It reads, “If I cannot make it, my father is     7    (you) father;and please remember     8    (sweep) my mother’s tomb.” I was thrilled later to learn that he did make it.

“Eveyone knows it’s     9    (danger) to be a firefighter. But he has always liked it and has done it for 12 years,” his father said, “He survived this time, but no one knows     10     will happen next time.”

8 . Family of a Sydney father sticking to life following a New year’s Eve fireworks explosion (燃放鞭炮) say the incident was an “unexpected accident”.

Adrian was ringing in the new year with a small group of friends on a beach near river-side Drive at Sans Souci. The explosion left him with serious face and head injuries and he was taken to St George Hospital without any delay. His daughter was not with him at the time.
