     Under a very hot sun，some residents used chain saws（鋸） to fell trees to make fire barriers.Others rode motorcycles on newly formed paths to take firefighters and supplies up a mountain，while some volunteers carried food and drinks on their backs by foot.Women and children helped organize supplies and clear the ground，and performed other essential tasks.
     On Thursday night，as wildfires approached a man-made barrier on Jinyun Mountain in Beibei district，a total of more than 1000 firefighters and volunteers stood alongside the barrier with fire extinguishers.Seen from overhead，their lights formed a silver wall against the raging fire.

• 3．Some American states are making money available for high school graduates so they can learn skills to help them get technology jobs without a college degree.
     One example is the northeastern state of Connecticut.It has invested ＄70 million to put young people and adults through short-term training programs that can lead to good paying technology jobs.
     The programs are known as "non-degree skills training."They have helped people like Mohameth Seck，who left college after two years.Seck said he wanted to work in technology but the classes he was offered in a traditional college program "weren't really interesting" to him.He also said traditional college takes too long to finish.
     So Seck decided to enter a one-year computer training program run by a nonprofit organization.Today，the 25-year-old teaches computer coding at a skills training center，or academy，in Stamford，Connecticut.Eck said friends who finished the program also have good jobs.
     Research carried out by Georgetown University's Center on Education and the Workforce showed that people who do get a college degree earn about 84 percent more over their lifetimes.But not everyone can get into，pay for or do well in college.
     David Soo leads an organization called Jobs for the Future.He said the college model that has been in place for the last 40 years does not work for everyone.And this is especially true for students who are Black，Hispanic（拉美裔美國(guó)人）or whose families do not make a lot of money."We need to find a better way to serve those students."Soo said.
     Anthony Carnevale is the leader of Georgetown's Center on Education and the Workforce.He said that while job training is good，it is not 100 percent correct to tell people they cannot benefit from a college degree.
     One reason companies might hire college graduates is because they think they might have better communication and teamwork skills.
  
  （1）What did Seck think of the training program？

  
  A．Boring.
  B．Time-consuming.
  C．Rewarding.
  D．Demanding.
  （2）Which statement is Not true？

  
  A．Some students can't afford to go to college.
  B．Some students are incapable of getting into college.
  C．The programs offer more choices to lead to a good job.
  D．People cannot benefit from a college degree.
  （3）Who will most benefit from the short-term training programs according to David Soo？

  
  A．Minority and poor families.
  B．Everyone in America.
  C．African-American students.
  D．College graduates.
  （4）What can be improved for the short-term training programs according to the last paragraph？

  
  A．Expanding in size.
  B．Being given more financial support.
  C．Including interpersonal skills in the programs.
  D．Teaching how to write code or design websites.
