Four times a day, they helped her do special exercises for her leg. Amazingly, by the time Wilma was 9 years old, she was able to walk again. Before long, she started playing basketball and running. In high school, she was a track star and then she went to the Olympics.\nWilma stopped being a runner when she was 22 years old. She then became a teacher and track coach.

But it can also be very harmful. Fire can make water hot and house warm, give light and cook food. But fire can burn things, too. It can make trees, houses, animals and other things catch fire . If some people can't run away from fire, it can kill them. This happens in every country every year.\nSometimes big fire can burn forests. A month ago, a large forest fire broke out in Yunnan Province. It lasted nearly half a month. The forest in Heilongjiang Province and the grassland in Inner Mongolia caught fire in May, 2006. After more than ten days' fight, over 30,000 people and soldiers put out the fire at last.\nNobody knows clearly when people began to make fire, but there are many interesting stories about the first time a man or a woman started a fire. One story from Australia tells about a man who went to the sun and brought fire down a long time ago. Today people know how to make a fire with matches . Children sometimes like to play with them. But matches can be very dangerous. The match can burn a piece of paper and then it can burn a house. A small fire can become a big fire, and destroy many things. Fire kills many people every year. So you must be careful with fire.\n,.\n\n<question>:\nThe main idea of the passage is that _ .\n\n<options>:\nA fire is dangerous and harmful\nB forest fire can be easily put out\nC who started a fire the first time\nD every month there is a forest fire in Yunnan Province\n\n<answer>:\n",

He loved him very much. Every day after work the man would come home and play with the little boy.\nWhen the man came home from work one night, he found that he had some extra work to do. And he wasn't able to play with his little son. He wanted to give the boy something to keep him busy. So, looking around his study, he saw a magazine with a large map of the world on the cover. He got an idea. He patiently tore the map up into pieces. Then he led his son into the dining room and spread the pieces on the table. He explained to the boy that it was a map of the world. He told the boy to put it back together and they could play together when he finished. Surely this could keep the child busy for hours, he thought.\nAfter about thirty minutes, the boy came to the man and said, \"Okay, it's finished, Dad. Can we play now?\"\nThe man was surprised, saying, \"That's amazing! How did you do that?\" The boy said, \"It was easy. On the back of the page was a picture of a man.
