　　A teenager and his family have been praised as heroes after rescuing five children from a fire. Mathew Robinson, 18, his mother and his father rushed to help when a neighbor’s home went up in flames. Jackie Robinson, 40, climbed a ladder to pull 12-year-old Tamara Barlow and her 16-month-old brother from their first-floor bedroom. Mathew went up the ladder and into the smoke-filled room to save two more children after their 16-year-old sister Charlotte climbed down.
　　Last night, fire fighters said one or more of the children would almost certainly have died had it not been for the Robinsons. However, Matthew denied they were heroes. He said, “Anyone would have done the same thing. I was in the right place at the right time.”
　　The fire at the home in Dorset, began around 9:30 p.m. On Sunday night. The Robinsons heard the children’s mother screaming “Get them out”. Matthew rushed through the front door, but was beaten back by flames. After his parents helped three of the children down the ladder, he climbed into the bedroom to get the others.
　　“Being in the room full of smoke, it was impossible to see anything. I had to feel my way round the room, trying to find the two kids and get them to make some noise, so I could find out where they were,” he said. “The boys were in a pretty bad state, and almost passed out. They were unable to say anything.”
　　Steve Isaac, station manager at Weymouth Community Fire Station, said, “There was some very, very quick thinking on the part of Matthew and his father Jackie. They showed great bravery and helped save some lives. Normally we would never encourage people to go into a burning building but, on this occasion, it all wort well.”
　　1. How many children did Matthew’s father save?

　　2. What made the Robinsons aware of the fire?

　　Ho Khanh is a middle-aged farmer, living in a village on the edge of Phong-Nha-Ke Bang National Park in Vietnam. What is special about him is that he has discovered Son Doong, the largest cave in the world.
　　“I first found the cave more than twenty years ago, in 1991,” he says. “I was out collecting firewood [.Com]near the national park. My family were very poor, so I decided to go deeper into the forest to find some aloe (芦荟), which is very valuable. Not many people went that far into the forest because they were afraid of the wild animals.”
　　Soon Khanh lost his way. “I sat down with my back to a huge round rock,” he says. “Then I heard the sound of a strong wind and running water coming from behind me.” He found the entrance to a huge cave, with a wide river coming out of it. Khanh thought he was walking into a great cave. With no ropes or lights, he did not go further into it.
　　Khanh’s story spread like wildfire, but not everyone believed him. “I wanted to prove that I was telling the truth, but I couldn’t remember the way to the cave.” Then one morning early in the winter of 2006, a group of cavers from Britain came to ask Khanh for help, as they had heard about his discovery fifteen years before.
　　Khanh agreed to help the team to find the cave, but after three days in the jungle (丛林) , they lost their way. “I just couldn’t remember where it was,” he says. The team came back twice, but each time they were beaten by the thicngle. Finally the cavers left.
　　In 2009, Khanh headed to the jungle one cold winter’s morning. “I stopped by a big round rock,” he says. “There was the same strong wind, the sound of water running----I knew I’d found the cave at last.” Soon the British cavers returned and followed Khanh on a six-hour trip deep into the jungle. On April 14 they found Son Doong.
　　4.How did Khanh discover Son Doong?
　　A. By accident completely.               B. By following wild animals.
　　C. Through ropes and lights.              D. With the help of British cavers.[.Com]
　　5.How long did it take Khanh to prove he discovered Son Doong?
　　A. About three years.                  B. About fifteen years.
　　C. About eighteen years.               D. About twenty years.
　　6.What did the British cavers think of Khanh’s story?
　　A. Doubtful.     B. Reliable.     C. False.      D. Ridiculous.
