I lived next door to Debbie and her 84-year-old mother, Nan, for about six months. One night last summer, Debbie asked me to check on her mother because she worked the overnight shift (夜班) at a nursing home.
I was glad to help. But I1felt a little funny about it.2, I’ve been blind since I was a baby and out of3for years. In fact, at 54, I came to wonder if I had any4to live.
A bit after 9:00 pm, I heard a sound—over the years my ears have grown super5. It was Nan. “Jim, Jim. The house is6! Help!”
I went as far as I could to Debbie’s. I got to the front door,7for the key and unlocked the door. “Nan! Where are you?” I called.
“Here, Jim. Help!” her voice was8and low.
I felt my9inside. “Nan, where are you? Keep10!” “Here, Jim, here!” sounds as if she’s1112 in the sweet, fresh summer air.
Later the fire truck arrived. Debbie came too. Nan and I heard the sound of the13coming down. Finally, the firefighters14the fire.
I heard Nan crying. She said, “I was so15and got turned around. I couldn’t find the door. You saved my life.”
Now Debbie’s voice quivered (發(fā)抖)， “You’re a hero. You rescued my mom.”
I hardly knew what to say. Two hours earlier I was wondering whether I really mattered to anyone. And now I saved a life. Nan and Debbie were thanking me. Truth was, I wanted to thank them. Nan wasn’t the only one who had been saved that day.

My family and I lived across the street from Southway Park since I was four years old. Then just last year the city put a chain link fence around the park and started bulldozing (用推土機推平) the trees and grass to make way for a new apartment complex. When I saw the fence and bulldozers, I asked myself, “Why don't they just leave it alone?”       

Looking back, I think what sentenced the park to oblivion (被遺忘) was the drought (旱災(zāi)) we had about four years ago. Up until then, Southway Park was a nice green park with plenty of trees and a public swimming pool. My friends and I rollerskated on the sidewalks, climbed the trees, and swam in the pool all the years I was growing up. The park was almost like my own yard. Then the summer I was fifteen the drought came and things changed.

There had been almost no rain at all that year. The city stopped watering the park grass. Within a few weeks I found myself living across the street from a huge brown desert. Leaves fell off the park trees, and pretty soon the trees started dying, too. Next, the park swimming pool was closed. The city cut down on the work force that kept the park, and pretty soon it just got too ugly and dirty to enjoy anymore.

As the drought lasted into the fall, the park got worse every month. The rubbish piled up or blew across the brown grass. Soon the only people in the park were beggars and other people down on their luck. People said drugs were being sold or traded there now. The park had gotten scary, and my mother told us kids not to go there anymore.      

The drought finally ended and things seemed to get back to normal, that is, everything but the park. It had gotten into such bad shape that the city just let it stay that way. Then about six months ago I heard that the city was going to “redevelop” certain worn-out areas of the city. It turned out that the city had planned to get rid of the park, sell the land and let someone build rows of apartment buildings on it.

The chain-link fencing and the bulldozers did their work.  Now we live across the street from six rows of apartment buildings. Each of them is three units high and stretches a block in each direction. The neighborhood has changed without the park. The streets I used to play in are jammed with cars now. Things will never be the same again. Sometimes I wonder, though, what changes another drought would make in the way things are today.

1. How did the writer feel when he saw the fence and bulldozers.'?

A．Scared.             B. Confused.         C. Upset.        D. Curious.

2. Why was the writer told not to go to the park by his mother?

A．It was being rebuilt.                          B. It was dangerous.

C. It became crowded.                            D. It had turned into a desert.

3. According to the writer, what eventually brought about the disappearance of the park?

A. The drought.                                   B. The crime.

C. The beggars and the rubbish.                   D. The decisions of the city.

4. The last sentence of the passage implies that if another drought came,         .

A. the situation would be much worse

B. people would have to desert their homes

C. the city would be fully prepared in advance

D. the city would have to redevelop the neighborhood
