Your home is a safe place, right? Think again.

     Many serious accidents happen in people's homes. Could you please prevent these accidents? Yes. Many accidents happen because people are careless. So be careful! Here are some tips about safety.

    ·Don't stand on chairs. Many people may fall off chairs and hurt themselves.

    ·Keep the floor dry, and you won't slip (滑) or fall.

    ·Be away from matches. Even a cigarette (香烟) can easily start a fire. Don't use water to put out fires. Use salt instead.

    ·Be careful with knives! Many people cut themselves in the kitchen. Never touch the broken bottles, doors  or windows. Glass can also cause the most serious cuts.

    ·Never use electrical appliances (电器设备) in the shower. Dry the floor before you use them, or  electricity can hurt you!

In every school there is “top” crowd that sets the pace, while the others follow their lead. For example, if the crowd decides that it is smart to wear bright red sweaters, then very soon everybody is wearing bright red sweaters.

There is nothing wrong with that, except the fact that for some people bright red sweater is really unsuitable.

The situation can even become dangerous, if the top crowd decides that it is smart to drink and to drive cars at seventy miles an hour. Then the people who follow the lead are endangering their lives. They are like the sheep being led to the slaughter(屠杀).

Now it’s possible that you have come across situations like these more than once in your life. In fact you probably did something you knew to be wrong one time or another. You may have excused yourself by saying, “ Gee, the crowd does it.” Well, let the crowd do it, but don’t do it yourself. Learn to say “No”.

Develop your own standards(标准)and your own judgment. If you know the crowd is planning something you disagree to, you’d better take the courage to bow out in a polite way. You’ll have the satisfaction of standing on your own two feet.
