  Sad stories are not very nice to read about, but if we think and talk about them, we may be able to prevent more accidents.

  How can fire or hot things be a danger in the house?Matches, of course, are always dangerous in the hands of young children.A little fire on waste land can easily get out of control.A wind comes, sparks(火花)are blown on to the roof of a house, and the whole building may be burnt to the ground before you can even call the fire brigade.Kerosene(煤油)lamps, too, can be very dangerous.Quite recently there was a bad accident in a village house.The mosquito-net(蚊帐)over a baby’s bed was blown against a lamp and caught fire.The bed-clothes and even the clothes of the baby were burnt before the fire was discovered.

  Long grass rubbish round a house can also lead to a big fire, as most people know.However, not everybody is careful with such things as paper bags and toys; these will burn up in a flash if you hold them near a fire.

  Young children often reach up to a table to take a bottle down by its handle.If the bottle or pot is full of boiling water, you can guess what will happen.Similarly, when a baby’s bath is prepared, cold water should be put in first.If any hot water has to be used, this should be put into the bath after the cold water and not before it.

  Many fireworks(烟花)can lead to blindness or other injuries, especially those which are pushed into bamboo sticks.Wooden spears or swords should be used only by children with sense enough not to injure other people.

  Very young children often have to be watched carefully.They put everything they find into their mouths to see whether it can be eaten, or sucked! Medicines have to be put out of their reach.A pill which might be harmless for an adult can sometimes kill a baby.Older children have to be careful when drinking from a bottle.Some of them walk about as they drink.Tip up the bottle to get the last drop out, then fall over something on the ground.If they are unlucky, they fall in such a way that the broken glass makes a horrible wound in the face or neck.

  This is not a complete list of the dangers in and near a house, but it is enough to remind you to be careful.

  While I was in my 4th month of pregnancy(妊娠期)with my second child, we were preparing for a trip to Louisiana, where Marshall's family live, to celebrate Jane's 2nd birthday.Two days before we were to leave, we got the shocking news that I was going to lose the baby.Not knowing when this would happen, we decided to continue with our trip.

  Since Marshall's family lives on a 600-acre cattle farm, you often find that you have a lot of time to yourself to think when you are there.That is precisely what I did not want to do at this time.I told Marshall that I needed to get a good book to get lost in while I was there.I told him I heard the Harry Potter books were good, so he went out and got the first one for me.

  During that trip, I totally got lost in the book, which was of great help during a time when I needed a distraction to forget about the sadness.In the book, I noticed the name“Seamus”.I vaguely remembered it was pronounced“Shamus”and I liked the sound of that.I mentioned it to Marshall and he liked it too.Toward the end of the trip, I had just 5 chapters left and I knew I was about to finish the first book, which I was pretty excited about.

  Soon after we put Jane down to bed, I had started labor(分娩), so I was unable to read.The labor lasted 5 and 1/2 hours, but Marshall stayed there with me, sitting beside me and reading aloud the last 5 chapters of Harry Potter.I can never fully explain how much that helped me through the experience.And ever since then, Marshall and I both have been fans of the Harry Potter books.We remember how they helped us get through that time of our lives.

  We were sad to have lost the baby, but the name Seamus started our journey toward adoption.And we gave this name to our adopted son.Though our Seamus doesn't have a drop of Irish blood in him, the name fits him perfectly.

  Two dogs, Tank and Muck, joined the extraordinary(非凡的)animals in the history of the RSPCA, along with a donkey who saved an old man in a fire.

  On a quiet afternoon, Tank, Muck and three-year-old Max were thought to be playing in the yard.But later, Max’s mum, Annie, found they had disappeared.

  “I searched everywhere for him, ” she said.“And when I couldn’t find him I jumped into the car.I finally found the dogs.They were running madly around the dam.I called Paul.”

  Michael Beattie from the RSPCA said Annie’s neighbor, Lucy Brown, who lived near the dam, 300 meters away from the Smiths’ house, was the first to hear the dogs’ barking.She came out and found Max and the two dogs.All of them were wet.So she took him inside and gave him a hot shower.

  Paul Smith said, “When I received my wife’s call, I panicked.I couldn’t believe it.I didn’t know what I should do! Then I called the police.”

  Meanwhile Annie was worried to death.“I was running around trying to find Max,” she said.“The lady who found him heard me calling and she brought him out to me.”

  When the police arrived they saw quite clear drag marks(拖的痕迹)-Max was rescued by the two dogs.

  “We felt so lucky, especially when so many kids in Australia drowned(溺死)every year.” Said Paul.

  The RSPCA awarded each dog a medallion, a certificate(证书)and a very large bone.

  Tank and Muck, both were homeless before they were taken home by the Smiths.It was a great leap(跳跃), from rescued dogs to heroes.Maybe it was just their way of saying thanks to the Smiths.

Max’s father.

  Movie magic can defy reality, but actors are inescapably human.They grow and change, and don't necessarily change for the better.

  Harry Potter actors, who are now saying their final goodbyes to their roles, have all become fully-fledged(成熟的)grown-ups, worlds apart from the little kids who began the Hogwarts' adventures in 2001.

  While many fans feel sad that the magical franhise is coming to an end, some feel even sadder to dee how much the actors have changed over the years.

  "Daniel Radciffe(who plays Harry Potter)went from being a really cute kid to a thin, pale-looking guy,"daid Filipino internet User Lealuvy."I kind of wish he stayed a kid forever."

  Radcliffe himself doesn't seem to be bothered by his change of appearance.In an interview with GQ magazine last week, he teased himself:"If people find me sexy or cool, it's because they like short, little, nerdy guys.And we do have our niche(合适的职业)."

  Meanwhile, actors growing up to be handsome have their headaches.

  Harry Melling, who played Potter's cousin Dudley Dursley, told The Telegraph that he was almost recast for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows when producers discovered he' d lost a lot of weight he had as a kid.He was too thin for the part.

  "They(the producers)did this double take, 'Oh my God, we are going to have to do something', and I felt guilty," said Meiling.

  Aside from changes in looks, the gradual personality change of child stars is another big concern of audience and producers.

  Miley Cyrus began her career at 13 in Disney's hit TV series Hannah Montana.

  When Cyrus decided to show her adult personality by releasing "sexy" photos, people began to get uneasy about her.Reports said that furious Disney bosses were considering replacing Cyrus with a more clean-cut teen star.

  Cyrus finally kept her role after public apologies.But some parents banned their children watching the show.

  Remember those highly charged first days? They were full of real-life tests where there was always something new to learn, and not always from a book.One of my first lessons occurred on my first day of kindergarten, when I got on the wrong bus-as my older sister still likes to remind me.

  Life’s minor embarrassments do happen, and I know I can’t protect my own children from them.I just try to teach them to laugh at theirs like I do at mine.

  My daughter Erin started on the wrong foot in the 1st grade, at a new school where she knew no one.All the other 1st graders couldn’t resist opening and closing, closing and opening their new desks.Wouldn't you know Erin would neither open nor close? She came to find out she was sitting on the wrong side!

  Even getting around in a new school can be a challenge.Erin's older sister, Molly, almost missed her first lunch in junior high.The school secretary came to her rescue, arming her with the knowledge that while the gym and flex space were next door to each other, lunch was served only in the latter.

  The first day sometimes has pitfalls for Mom and Dad, too.Once, I managed to stockpile(储备)Molly and Erin's school supplies as they went on sale the previous year.I thought everything was ready for the first day-oh, yeah! My victory dance was short-lived, however.After day one my ladies rushed off the bus, both worried and confused, saying “Mom, we need wide-rule not college-rule paper, and three 2-inch notebooks instead of two 3-inch ones! And for standardized testing, standardized No.2 pencils only, please.”

  Perhaps my favorite first-day memory happened the first time my two daughters went to full-day public school together, when I was understandably emotional.Erin noticed my red eyes and white smile.“You are happy and sad, huh, Mommy?” Such a sensitive girl! She added, “Just like the time when you were crying and laughing after the car stopped running on the ice and we were OK.” Well, at least I could laugh!
