1. (2023高二上·绵竹月考)  听下面一段独白，回答以下小题。

Good morning everyone. Now I'd like to tell you something about my hometown hero. My hometown<br />hero is someone I always looked up to. He's my brother Giuseppe. He is five years older<br />than me and he will turn twenty next month. He's a volunteer firefighter in his spare<br />time. He also volunteers his time in the largest hospital in our city where my mother<br />works as a nurse. My brother is very nice not only to his family members but also to others.<br />He goes to visit our grandma to make sure she's okay. He also makes care packages for families<br />that are dealing with COVID-19. I haven't seen my brother much since the COVID-19 pandemic<br />started. It's hard to be away from him. But I know other people need him. He is going to study<br />in a police training school later this year because he wants to help more people. I want to be just<br />like my brother in the future. I'm going to follow in his footsteps and help everyone I can.<br />Good morning everyone. Now I'd like to tell you something about my hometown hero.
