Charlotte Heffelmire was home in Vienna,Va.,for Thanksgiving break from the Air Force Academy when she saw that her father had gotten stuck under the pickup truck he'd been working on.

"I was on my back,face up,and I was trying to get some brake lines when apparently the jack（千斤頂）slipped and fell down on me,"her dad,Eric Heffelmire,told WUSA9.Gasoline spilled（溢出）and caught fire,and he knew he was in trouble."I thought they 'd be pulling out a dead body later in the evening."

After his struggling for 10 minutes,his barefoot teenage daughter came running into the garage."I felt the weight shift,and I said,'You almost got it.'and then it was just UGHHHRRR,and suddenly I'm pulled out,"Eric told NBC4.

Even Charlotte,120 pounds and 5-foot-6,isn't sure where her power came from."It was some crazy strength,"she told WUSA9.

Realizing the burning truck could set her house on fire at any moment,Charlotte jumped into the truck and drove it out of the garage."I didn't want the entire house to explode with the truck,so I started the truck,put it in four-wheel drive,and managed to drive it with three wheels,"she said.

Then she went inside the house to grab her baby sister and got her grandmother out of the house too."I just did what I had to do,so I don't feel like a big hero or anything,"Charlotte said.Her local fire department,Fairfax County Fire and Rescue,felt differently,awarding her the Citizen Lifesaving Award.

A. He put out the fire. B. He tried to get out.

C. He shouted for help. D. He waited for his death.

2.Why was Charlotte awarded by the local fire department?

A. Because she remained low-key.

B. Because she was a lifesaving hero.

C. Because she did what they should do.

Looking back on the first twenty years of my life,I feel grateful to have been so healthy and happy.I'm happy because of many key factors（因素）. 1.

Health comes first for me, because without health everything else is meaningless. Imagine starting a career without good health. Imagine achieving anything without good health. 2.

Good health is not enough to be happy. 3. Money obviously pays for the basic necessities of life—food, housing, clothing, etc.—but it is also necessary for other reasons. Money guarantees(保證) we always get good medical treatment when we fall ill. Besides, we can also use money for entertainment that can add to our quality of life.

Family is another important factor in having a happy life because it provides the love, joy, and support that everyone needs. I love my family with all my heart. I get pleasure from their pleasure. I suffer when they suffer. 4. They give me advice when I have misunderstandings with my friends. More importantly, they are always there to share everything with me.

5. As long as I stay healthy, work hard to earn enough money and share both good times and bad times with my family,I will always be the happiest girl in the world.

A. Money is the most important factor which contributes to a happy life.

B. These three factors are all that I need and want in this world.

C. My family help me get through worries, pressures and difficulties.

D. We still need to have money in today's society.

E. Finally, I'm quite thankful that I am healthy, wealthy and happy.

F. Clearly, good health is much more important than any other things of one's life.

G. They include my physical health, healthy finances and my family's happiness.

Happiness is for everyone. You don’t need to care about those people who have beautiful houses with large gardens and swimming pools or those who have nice cars and a lot of money and so on. 1.,and those who have cars may want to walk on the country roads at their free time.

2.. When you are in trouble at school, your friends will help you. When you study hard at your lessons, your parents are always taking good care of your life and your health. When you get success, your friends will say congratulations to you. When you do something wrong, people around you will help you to correct it. 3. .All these are your happiness. If you notice a bit of them, you can see that happiness is always around you.

Happiness is not the same as money. 4., When you are poor, you can also say you are very happy, because you have something else that can’t be bought with money. When you meet with difficulties, you can say loudly you are very happy , because you have more chances to challenge yourself. So you cannot always say you are poor and you have bad luck. As the saying goes, life is like a revolving(旋轉(zhuǎn)的)door. When it closes, it also opens. 5..
