Ⅱ.阅读理解
CALGARY, CANADA－It was one of the most important phone calls Bruce Burrell has ever received, a call warning that a flood (水灾) was headed Calgary's way.
“I got a phone call about five in the morning on Thursday from Len McCharles, who was on watch at the time, and he said ‘there has been big flooding in Canmore and it's heading this way，’” said Burrell, the head of the Calgary Emergency Management Agency.
“I got up immediately, turned on the morning news, saw the pictures from Canmore and then called McCharles back. I said ‘open the Emergency Operations Centre.’”
Burrell was in the EOC for 48 hours straight and it wasn't until Burrell left the centre for the first time that the disaster hit him.
“Once you step outside and you actually see it and hear it, it paints a
completely different picture from what you thought you would be dealing with.”
Calgary firefighters came to help the Calgarians who were influenced by floodwaters. Keal Prince, captain of the Calgary Fire Department remembers how a young boy lost his finger while helping a woman remove debris (瓦砾) out of her house.
“As his finger got cut off it went into a fully loaded dumpster (装好的垃圾箱)，” Prince said. “People had worked hours to get the dumpster loaded and now they're working tirelessly, quickly, to unload that dumpster, looking for that finger.”
“We had to remove a lot of debris to find that finger. Luckily, the finger was found and it was reattached (重新接上)，” Prince added.
Burrell is proud of what the city had achieved so far. And he says the city couldn't have done it without hundreds of unsung heroes. “There were a lot of unbelievable things that went on during the flood and I think that is what Calgarians need to be proud of.”
