III.阅读理解

　　A

　　I always wanted to be a firefighter.It seemed exciting to me.I like to be outside，lift heavy things and sleep on the ground!

　　In college.I got a job with the forest service.My first week on the job，they asked if I wanted to get my red card(training for forest fires)，I said yes!

　　The training was a week long.I learned about the different types of fire crews(工作人员)and I remember the instructor saying hotshots were the top dogs.He said they had the most difficult and dangerous job and that you had to really prove yourself in order to be a hotshot.I was sold.I didn't want to do anything else!

　　However，hotshot crews don't hire(雇佣)people without fire experience.I returned home from training to Logan where the Logan Hotshots are based.I walked in and told the boss I wanted to be a hotshot and they should keep me in mind if they needed anyone.

　　The very next day I got a note saying the Hotshots were looking for me！A woman on their crew got injured and they needed a replacement...they were headed to a fire that day.They thought of me because I had just been there the day before.

　　We arrived at the fire near Provo，Utah at about 10 pm that night.We ended up working 40 hours，digging fire lines.I think I fell asleep standing up against my tool at one point.

　　My feet were covered in blisters(水泡)and the helicopter that was supposed to pick us up at the top of the mountain broke down and we had to walk miles!

　　To my delight，the crew liked me and hired me after that.I also met my husband that night！How cool is that!
