　　After Washington's army took up Boston,　the Second Continental Congress passed certain measures to bring the colonies (殖民地) into a closer union. Yet in all these discussions, the actual word INDEPENDENCE (独立) was never officially used. Many members of the Congress were not yet ready to separate from England. Other members were afraid that if the fighting went against them, they might all be put to death as traitors (叛徒).

　　There was, however, a small group of patriots (爱国者) who fought continuously for independence. They argued that the war was already going on. Furthermore (而且), if the colonies expected to get help from other countries, for example, from France then a complete break with England was necessary. On June 7, 1776, one of their members, Richard Henry Lee of Virginia, presented a resolution (议案) that these united colonies are, and by right ought to be, free and independent states. The resolution was bitterly argued but later accepted by the Congress. A committee of five members was named to draw up such a declaration.

　　To extinguish(熄)different kinds of fires, several types of fire extinguishers(灭火器)have been invented．They must be ready for immediate use when fire breaks out．Most portable(手提式的)kinds operate for less than a minute, so they are useful only on small fires．The law requires ships, trains, buses and planes to carry extinguishers．
