John Hydes, who served as a firefighter for 15 years in New Zealand before moving to Australia, is not only new to the neighbourhood, he’s also new to the country.But that didn’t stop him becoming a local hero recently when he pulled two kids from a burning house.
“What he did was fantastic.It was a very brave act.Our family can thank him for our lives.”The moment the kids’mother saw what Mr.Hydes did for her family, tears started welling up in her eyes and falling down her cheeks.
However, Mr.Hydes, who settled here six months ago, said he wasn’t thinking when he saved his neighbour’s son, 5, and daughter, 7, from their PointCook home minutes before the roof fell.
It was said that the children’s mother and the grandfather was occupied in housework outside the gate when the house caught fire.As they saw the thick smoke, they were scared out, unable to say a word.In spite of the phone call, the fire engine could not arrive quickly.The two children were in the bedroom.Desperate and hopeless, the kids’mother knelt down, crying at the top of her voice.Because of excessive shock, the old grandfather was in the hospital for a long time.
“When there are kids in danger you haven’t got time to think, you’ve got to act, ”the father of three said. “I hadn’t met my new neighbours before coming to their help.It’s just a different way of meeting them, ”he laughed.Actually, it was nothing new for Mr.Hydes to jump into a burning building.This time, however, he did it without protective clothing.Later on he recalled the thrilling scene of his fighting the fire.

“Don’t tell anyone”.We hear these words when someone tells a secret to us.1. We’re often tempted to(忍不住的) “spill the beans”, even if we regret it later.
An earlier study, led by Anita E.Kelly, a scientist at the University of Notre Dame, US, suggested that keeping a secret could cause stress. 2. According to Asim Shah, professor in the Menninger Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at Baylor College of Medicine, US, keeping a secret may well “become a burden”.This is because people often have an “obsessive and anxious urge to share it with someone”.
3. Shah explained that people often feel that it will help them keep a person as a Mend.Another reason people share secrets is guilt over keeping it from someone close to them.A sense of distrust can develop when people who are close do not share it with each other. “Keeping or sharing secrets often puts people in a position of either gaining or losing the trust of someone, ”according to Shah.
He added that talkative people could let secrets slip out.4. A quiet person may be someone who keeps everything inside.To tell such a person a secret may cause them stress, and make them talk about the secret.
Shah said that to judge whether to tell someone a secret, you’d better put yourself in their position.Think about how you would feel to be told that you mustn’t give the information away.Shah also recommended that if you accidentally give up someone’s secret you should come clean about it.5.
A.But it can be hard to keep a secret.
B.Everyone intends to keep his own secret.
C.Now you may ask, what secret is that?
D.Let the person know that their secret isn’t so secret anymore.
E.People with secrets can suffer from depression, anxiety, and body aches.
F.But with secrets so often getting out, why do people share them at all?
G.However, this doesn’t mean that it is a good idea only to share secrets with quiet people.
