• 2．The other day，my wife and I were in Kent County when we saw smoke on the horizon．We went about our business for a little while，and then curiosity got the better of me，and I decided to go over and check out the fire．It turned out there was a brush fire that got out of control and grew from 25 acres to 100 acres．
      What struck me most about that day was the word "volunteer" written on almost every piece of emergency equipment that I could see．No one was getting paid to fight the fire that day．They were there because they chose to be，not because they had to be．
      How many of us would wake up early one fine Sunday morning，get dressed in hot，bulky（笨重的） clothing and risk our lives for no money and little reward？These folks do that all the time．I live in a densely populated（人口稠密的） area，and our local fire department is volunteer．Most of the time when we see these individuals，they are either on the way to or back from an emergency．We also occasionally see them collecting money on the side of the road．With either boots or helmets in hand，they ask for donations to keep them in the latest life-saving equipment．I think very few people give them the amount that's equal to，say，a basic cable（缆绳） bill．
      As a small business owner，I really can't give these people enough money．And I don't think our communities do enough to honor these people who risk their lives and volunteer．If you ever lose your faith in people，follow one of these trucks to a disaster and watch who jumps off and what they do．I believe you'll be amazed by what total strangers are willing to do to protect you．
  
  （1）When the author was in Kent County the other day，he

  ．
  A．lost his business
  B．had a quarrel with his wife
  C．witnessed a big fire
  D．acted as a volunteer firefighter

  C．Volunteers firefighters often get up earlier than others．
  D．More and more people are ready to be volunteer firefighters．
  （3）How does the author feel about people's donations to volunteer firefighters？

  
  A．Disappointed．
  B．Confident．
