定时训练(3)Ⅰ.阅读理解体裁：记叙文话题：助人为乐时间：5分钟On the way home from his job at a bakery in Wainscott，New York，one August evening，Craing Schum，33，stopped his car at the East Hampton Airport.A group was protesting against airplane noise，and Schum，who had kicked off his shoes，got out of the car.Within seconds，though，Schum saw something astonishing.A small plane dived and crashed into the woods about 100 yards from the runway. “I don't remember making the decision that I should go to help out，”he recalls.“I just started running.”Schum ran across the street barefoot，climbed over a six－foot－high chain－link fence，and dashed about 100 yards toward the woods.When he got there，he discovered 51－year－old pilot Stephen Bochter，his head bleeding，beside the burning plane.Bochter's passenger，his wife，Kim Brillo，was on the ground，unconscious.“She had blood all over her，”says Schum. “I thought she was dead.”Jack Gleeson，17，a high school student working a summer job at the airport，caught up with Schum and，with Bochter's help，lifted the chain－link fence and brought Brillo underneath it out.Moments later，the entire plane exploded.After the rescue team arrived，Bochter and Brillo were airlifted to nearby hospital and treated for cuts，injuries and Brillo's broken arm.Bochter，an experienced pilot，later said that the plane's electrical system had failed shortly after take－off.He had been attempting to land at the East Hampton Airport when the plane began to nosedive．He managed to level the wings before crashing into the woods.“Everything was on fire，and Schum came out of nowhere to save us，”says Bochter.“We're blessed to have lived through it.”【语篇导读】本文叙述了Craig Schum在下班回家途中勇敢地从失事飞机上救人的事迹。
