Moreno, Stanley, and 23 other students from Westfield State College were on vacation in Acapulco, Mexico. This was the last night in the hotel. It was 4 am, Moreno and Stanley came back from a party.

　　Just as Stanley went to sleep, he heard loud noise outside. From the balcony (阳台) of their fourth-floor room, Moreno and Stanley saw black smoke out of one window and heard people shouting.

　　Moreno ran out into the corridor and began knocking on doors and shouting, "Fire!" After that, he went upstairs in a hurry to tell other people. At the same time, Stanley was downstairs helping people get through the smoke-filled room. There he joined forces with Nalewanski, a 21-year-old boy who had a room on the second floor.

　　"Let's go," Nalewanski said. He and Stanley wet their shirts in the bathroom and put them around their mouths and noses so they could breathe. Then they ran up the stairs. On the fourth floor they found Moreno feeling terrible (Moreno had made it up to the eighth floor before turning back). But after making sure he could get back down on his own, they continued upstairs, knocking on the doors on every floor.

　　In the end, no one was seriously hurt. Moreno said, "There were hundreds of people in the hotel. It was our duty to help them."

I’ll remember the first carnival（狂欢节）. 1.. My parents came from Jamaica and they helped to start carnival. We had very little money, but we made costumers from old bits of material and feathers, and colourful masks. We decorated old lorries, so that we could ride on them through the streets. It took us six months to get ready.

But on the big day, all our hard work had been worth it. People of all ages, from babies to grandparents, black and white, danced together in the street. 2.. The music was played on anything made of metal: it was very noisy.

There were people watching from the windows of every house. We ate all our favourite Jamaican food, washed down with beer.3.– but carnival helps you forget the weather!

When the carnival got too big, those old streets became too narrow for such big crowds（人群）. Some people said they felt frightened by the large crowds and the noise. We were worried that carnival would be banned（禁止）. Then we found an answer – everything was moved to a wider and safer street. 4..

If you watch the sky about an hour after the sun goes down, you may see some “moving stars” ．But they’re not real stars．They are man-made satellites．And the biggest of all is the International Space Station（ISS国际空间站）．

From now until July is the best season to watch the ISS flying over the earth, and people can see it just with their eyes．The ISS is the biggest man-made satellite because scientists want to live on it．They think that the best way to learn more about space is to live there．

When the space station is finished, it will be like a city in space．People will stay an study there with many of the things they have at home．Laboratories, living rooms and power stations are being built．The ISS is the most ambitious（雄心勃勃） and expensive space program ever．Billions of dollars are being spent on it every year．

Scientists hope that the ISS will be a stepping-stone（垫脚石） for future space explanation．“The ISS will help us better understand the human body, explore space and study the earth, It can help us make life on the earth better,” said Kathryn Clark , an ISS scientist．

China is not an ISS country, but it has helped with some of the experiments．China sent some rice up to the ISS to find out what space would do to it．

The ISS is not finished yet．More than 100 parts need to be put on．Scientists hope it will be finished as soon as possible．After it’s finished, more than 90%of the world’s population will be able to see the Space Station．So keep looking up, and maybe you’ll see it get bigger．
