A forest fire that burned 55 square kilometres was finally brought under control on Wednesday morning. The fire started on Sunday in Black Bear State Park and quickly spread to nearby areas.
On Monday, police evacuated（疏散） the small town of Lawson and ordered the people to leave their homes. The fire destroyed 20 homes in the area and caused heavy damage to 40 others.
Nobody was hurt. Officials said the damage to homes and cars was between $l million and $2 million. The government declared the town a disaster (災難) area. The fire spread quickly in the hot, dry weather. Fire fighting was difficult because of strong winds. Firemen from 55 fire departments in the state joined the National Fire Service to put out the fire. Some kept fighting for 24 hours. Fire engines and helicopters dropped water onto the fire. In order to control the fire, firemen cleared a way around the fire.
Police closed King Road to traffic on Tuesday because of heavy smoke. Thousands of tourists had to drive an hour north to Queen Road to pass the fire area.
Some people did not follow the police order. Paul Grayson sent his wife and two children to safety, but he stayed. As the fire came within 50 feet of his house, he started thinking, “Am I foolish? Did I stay here too long, just for a house?”

試題分析：這篇短文為我們記敘了一場森林火災。火災發生在星期天，是從Black Bear State Park開始的，因為天氣干燥，所以火災蔓延的很快。又因為風很大，所以給救火帶來了很大的困難。
小題1:根據短文第一段中The fire started on Sunday in Black Bear State Park可知，這場森林火災是在星期天的時候，在Black Bear State Park 開始的。
小題2:根據短文第二段中On Monday, police evacuated（疏散） the small town of Lawson and ordered the people to leave their homes可知，在星期一，警察來疏散Lawson小鎮的人們，命令人們離開家。故本題答案為to leave their homes。
小題3:根據短文第三段中Fire fighting was difficult because of strong winds.可知，滅火的行動很困難因為風很大。
小題4:根據短文第三段中Fire engines and helicopters dropped water onto the fire.可知，消防人們使用滅火機和直升飛機來滅火。故本題答案為They used fire engines and helicopters。
小題5:根據短文最后一段中Paul Grayson sent his wife and two children to safety, but he stayed.可知，Paul Grayson 把妻子和兩個孩子送到了安全的地方，自己卻沒有聽警察的話留了下來，所以在當時那種危急的情況下，他的這種做法是愚蠢的，沒有意識到有多么危險。
