4 . A few years ago, I took a trip to New York City with my mom and my cousin. It was a girls’ weekend to celebrate my cousin’s upcoming wedding. We spent the morning shopping and stopped in a family-owned Italian restaurant. The woman who greeted us was the cook, and her elderly mother who'd started the restaurant was behind the counter (柜台). There were only five tables in the whole restaurant and we were the only customers.
We were chatting about what we wanted to do that night when my cousin suddenly stood up and pointed behind my mom and me. Black smoke started pouring from a staircase (楼梯) in the hallway that led to the businesses above that one. Thinking the floor above us must be on fire, my mom ran to the back to tell the cook, while we tried to convince the elderly Italian woman, who actually couldn’t speak English, to come outside. She couldn’t see the smoke from her place behind the counter and just scolded (训斥) us in Italian.
Finally, my cousin physically picked the lady up. Thankfully, she was a tiny lady and my cousin was strong. We got her outside and she finally saw the smoke. My mom took her phone out to call the firemen, but someone else must have already done that because we heard the sirens (警报声) coming. The firetruck rounded the corner, nearly hitting the front end of a cab. The passengers in the back of the cab started screaming, but the driver looked calm.
Thankfully, no one was hurt. We didn’t find out what had caused the fire, but at least it didn’t spread beyond the second floor. The cook thanked us for helping them, and her mother kept hugging my cousin. The rest days were peaceful compared to that day, and I’ve always wanted to go back and see if that restaurant was still there.

5 . Michael Surrell was the last person who should have run into a burning building because he had lung disease. But that didn't stop him. He was reading in sofa when his daughter phoned to say, "The house next door is on fire!" He went to investigate, only to see two women unable to control their emotions on their porch.
"The baby girl's on the second floor!" one of the women cried. At the words, Surrell immediately ran inside. It was completely dark there. Yet, because the house had a similar layout to his, he found the stairs and made it to the second floor. He turned to the right and was met by intense heat. He was already out of breath.
His throat and lungs burned as if he'd breathed fire instead of the smoke in the air. All he could hear was the crackling and popping of burning wood. Then he heard a soft but clear moan (呻吟). He knew it was from the direction of the bedroom. Still unable to see, Surrell fell to his knees on the hot wood floor. He crawled toward the sound, feeling around for any sign of the girl.
Finally,he found the girl and caught her into his arms. He felt the heat of the flames on his cheeks. Turning, he fought through the smoke and ran blindly out of the house. Surrell put Tiara down on the porch. "You have to breathe for her," Someone said to him. He started CPR﹣it was the first time that he'd ever done so. The women stood behind him, praying silently. After he gave five breaths, she opened her eyes and took a breath on her own.
Their eyes met. Surrell hugged her tight and said, "Uncle's got you." Soon after, his throat closed off.

There was a big fire in one office buildings in our neighborhood at about nine o'clock last night. Many firemen and fire engines come. In a beginning, we saw flames with thick black smoke coming out from the six floor. We also heard the explosion the gas tank mix with the noisy sounds from the windows. Soon the fire spread one by one to the floors above, but finally reached the top floor. Many people stood outside on the streets watch the fire in horror. Unluckily there was no one in that office building when the fire broke out in.
