问题     One of the greatest heartbreaks for firefighters occurs when they fail to rescue a child from a burning because the child, frightened by smoke and noise, hides under a bed or in a closet and is later found dead. Saddest of all is when children catch a glimpse of the masked firefighter but hide because they think they have seen a monster.
    To prevent such tragedies, firefighter Eric Velez gives talks to children in his community, explaining that they should never hide during a fire. He displays firefighters’ equipment, including the oxygen mask, which he encourages his listeners to play with and put on. "If you see us, " Velez tells them, "don’t hide! We are not monsters. We have come to rescue you. " Velez gives his presentations in English and Spanish Growing up in San Francisco, he learned Spanish from his immigrant parents. Velez and other firefighters throughout North America, who give similar presentations, will never know how many lives they save through their talks.
    But it’s a fact that informative speaking saves lives. For example, several months after listening to an informative speech, Pete Gentry in North Carolina rescued his brother who was choking on food, by using the method taught by student speaker, Julie Paris.
    In addition to saving lives, informative speakers help people learn new skills, solve problems and acquire fascinating facts about the exciting world in which they live.
What message is the speaker trying to convey?
选项 A、Kids should learn not to be afraid of monsters.
B、Informative speeches can save lives.
C、Carelessness can result in tragedies.
D、Firefighter play an important role in America.
答案B
解析 细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二段第一句“But it’s a fact that informative speaking saves lives. ”以及最后一段的举例可知，知识渊博的演讲者可以拯救生命、帮助人们学习新的技能等。A项“孩子们应该学会不要怕怪物”；B项“知识性演讲可以拯救生命”；C项“粗心会导致悲剧”；D项“在美国，消防员扮演着重要的角色”。文章讲述关于救火的演讲传递了知识，拯救了生命，可知B选项最适合。故选B。
