"BANG!" the door caused a reverberation (回声). It was just standing there, with Father standing on one side, and I on the other side.

We were both in great anger. "Never set foot in this house again!" stormed Father. With tears welling up in my eyes, I rushed out of the flat and ran along the street.

The street lights were shining, causing rather sad-feeling. I wandered aimlessly.

A young father who held a child in his arms walked past me. I felt as if I saw my childhood from another space: happy and carefree.

But now... I don't know whether it is because I have grown up or because Dad is getting old. We differ in our ways of thinking. He always puts his opinions and codes of behaviour on me. Whenever I do something wrong, he never admits it. We are just like two people coming from two different worlds. It feels like there is an iron door between us that can never be opened.

I wandered in the streets, without a destination in mind. My heart was frozen on this hot summer night. As I walked on there were fewer and fewer people on the streets, until I had only the street lights to keep me company. When I finally reached the high-rise apartment block in which I lived, I saw that the light was still on.

I thought to myself: "Is Father waiting for me, or is he still angry with me?"

In fact, it was nothing. Perhaps, Dad was throwing away some of his old stamps. Perhaps he thought they were useless. I never had the courage to tell him that I liked collecting stamps. I can't stand his outrageous (蛮横的) words: "I can't throw you away, let alone these old papers?"

All the lights were off except Father's.

Dad was always like this. Maybe he didn't know how to express himself. After shouting at me, he never showed any mercy or any moments of regret. After an argument he has the habit of creeping up (悄悄来到) in my sleep and then tucking me underneath the covers.

This was how he always was. He has been a leader for so long that telling everyone else what to do has become his second nature.

The light was still on. "Am I wrong?" I whispered, maybe... With the key in hand, I was as nervous as I had ever been. At last, I decided to open the door. As soon as I opened the door tears ran down my cheeks. I suddenly realized that the iron door that I had imagined between us did not exist (存在) at all. Love---is second to none.

There is a simple way to lose weight (减体重). And you don't even have to give up the food you love or join a sports club. You just follow some habits that thin people have. Keep them, and you will become thin.

(1)Wake-up

When you wake up in the morning, sit up slowly without using your hands. With legs straight out, bend (弯曲)forward until you feel sore in your back. It will bum about 10 calories(卡里路热量)

(2)Start with soup

When you have a meal, order a clear soup, and have it before having the main food. In this way, you'll feel fuller, so you'll eat less when the main food comes.

(3)An apple (or more) a day

Apples are full of fiber (纤维) and water, so your stomach will want less. The study shows that people who eat at least three apples a day lose weight.

(4)Stand up and walk around

Every time you use the mobile phones, stand up and walk around. Heavy people sit two and a half hours more on average (平均) each day than thin people. This skill is very important because standing up and walking around will bum 50 or more calories.

Use the skills, and you will lose weight successfully.

We all know the dangers of fires. It's good and necessary for a family to learn how to prepare for a fire. Here are some suggestions.

Put a smoke alarm(火警)in the house. Smoke from a fire causes the alarm to go off. The alarm makes a loud sound. The sound tells everyone to leave the house at once.

Make escape(逃脱)plans. We should know all the ways out of the house. If there is a fire,everyone follows the plan to get out. Part of the plan is to check all the windows to make sure they can be opened easily.

Buy fire extinguishers(灭火器)in the house. Everyone in the family should know how to use them.

Practice for a fire. We do fire practice because we teach children about fire safety. Everyone in the family should know the following fire rules:

★Don't open a hot door!The fire can grow more quickly if you open the door.

★Stay close to the floor!Smoke can be more dangerous than fire. The best air is near the floor because smoke rises.

★What will you do if your hair or clothes start to burn?First,stop!Don't run!The fire burns faster because of more air. Drop!Fall to the floor. Then roll!Turning over and over will make the fire go out. Put a blanket(毯子)around you to keep air away from the fire that may still be on you.
