Li Lu’ou thought he did the right thing by calling 110 when he saw his two classmates in trouble on the corner of a dark street.
Li and his classmates from NO.2 Middle School Affiliated to Beijing Normal University spent this year’s Valentine’s Day selling roses on the street.As night approached，they cycled back with over 200 yuan in their pockets.
Suddenly，a gang of robbers jumped out at them.The five robbers were tall and strong，so Li ran away to call the police.He thought it would be the most practical thing to do and he was right.His classmates returned safe and sound.
So，what would you have done in Li’s situation？Would you have got off your bike and fought the robbers to rescue your friends?
A new Beijing student code does not encourage you to risk your life to help them.
The new code was introduced to more than 1.7 million primary and middle school students in the city at the start of the new term.
It has cut words which might encourage youngsters to risk their lives for others dangerous situations.Gone are the old calls，which had been in place since 1987，for students to“fight criminals courageously”and “sacrifice themselves to save others”．
Children’s heroic acts usually left them injured or even dead because they failed to fully foresee the dangers of their actions.
A wellknown example was Lai Ning，who was listed among the “top 10 model young pioneers” in 1989 after he lost his life trying to put out a fire at the age of 14.
The deaths connected to teenagers’“heroic acts” started a nationwide debate about the protection of youngsters.
Wei Lusheng，a parent in Beijing，said schools must first teach children how to protect themselves，before learning from heroes.
But educators thought the spirit of courage should not be thrown away in the new student code.
“Getting rid of the words‘fight criminals courageously’do not mean we deny the spirit of‘fearlessness’and ‘readiness’to help others.”said Li Jing，an official in Beijing.“But，we should be more rational about the spirit of sacrifice.”
Li Lu’ou agreed.“Cherishing life is no reason to be a coward，” he said.“but you need make sure you are able to offer help.For example，it would cause more trouble if I jumped into water to rescue someone drowning，but didn’t know how to swim.In that situation it’s better to call the police or an adult.”
41．Which is true about Li and his classmates?
A．They bought roses for each other on Valentine’s Day.
B．They called 110 immediately when they were held up by a gang of robbers.
C．Li risked his life for his classmates in the dangerous situation.
D．Instead of fighting the robbers Li thought it right for him to call the police.
42．The new student code was introduced in Beijing because______.
A．students are facing more danger than they used to
B．the old student code didn’t include the spirit of courage
C．the old one didn’t tell students how to protect themselves while helping others in trouble
D．the old student code encouraged students to sacrifice themselves to save others.
43．Which can be inferred about Lai Ning?
A．He was one of the top 10 model young pioneers in 1987.
B．If it weren’t him，the forest fire would not have been put out.
C．According to the new code，he shouldn’t have risked his life to put out the fire.
