Santi's big brother Len had told him never to push all the remote control buttons at the same time. He said that something terrible would happen if he did. Santi didn't really believe this. While Len was out of the room, Santi jumped down on the sofa with the remote control in his hand. For a while, he changed from channel to channel, looking for something interesting to watch. Bored, Santi decided to see what Len could have meant.

   With a quick glance（扫视） over his shoulder to make sure Len hadn't come back，he pushed all the buttons at once. Santi saw a bright flash，and he dropped the remote control. "I've broken it，"he thought. "Now I'm in trouble！" As he looked around for the remote control，he realized he was in more trouble than he'd thought. He was suddenly only the size of a mouse.

  "Oh，no！"Santi shouted. He had to find his parents quickly. Carefully, he climbed down the side of the huge sofa and hurried across the floor. In the kitchen, Santi could see that the sliding door（滑门） had been left open. “If the door is open, then the cat might be in here,” tiny Santi said.

Just then, Santi and the cat saw each other. Santi ran for the door, the cat closing in quickly behind him. Just as the cat reached out to attack Santi, it slipped（打滑） on some water and slid across the kitchen floor. Out of breath, Santi hid behind a flowerpot in the corridor. He could see his mum far away in the garden. “How will I ever get there?” he wondered. As he looked out from behind the flowerpot, there was the huge cat looking right at him! Santi rushed for the garden and then…, he woke up. “It was only a dream!” he said with a relieved smile. “Thank goodness!”

It’s a good idea for families to talk about what they can do to escape(逃脱)from a fire(火灾) . Do you know what to do if there is a fire in your flat? Here are some tips for you:

1. Shout out. Shout as loudly as you can, because people may be asleep.

2. Call 119. Never try to put out a fire yourself. Tell 119 where you are and what is on fire.

3. Keep down close to the floor. There is less smoke down there, so it’s easier to breathe (呼吸) and see where you are going.

4. Test the door. If the door is cool, open it carefully. If not, do not open it! Try to find a different way out.

5. Get out. Do not stop to pick up anything. A fire can become very big in a few seconds!

6. Don’t use the lift（电梯）. Always use the stairs (楼梯) . The lift may go wrong. It isn’t safe and many keep you inside in a fire.

7. Don’t go back. Even if you leave your pet or favorite toy inside, do not go back for it. Animals have a very good sense of smell. They often get out of buildings before people.

   1  to do in a fire

1.Know the fire exit (消防通道) and plan two ways out.
2.If you hear the smoke alarm or smell smoke, Shout "Fire! Everyone out!" to awaken anyone still asleep and to let others know there is a fire.
3. Feel the door with the back of your hand if there's a fire.
●If it's hot, use the window if possible. A warm door may mean there is a fire outside.
●If the door is cool, open it slowly, then crawl out of the building.
●If heat and smoke come in when you open the door, close it tightly, and find another way out.
4. Don’t hide! Go outside! Never hide under beds when there is a fire.
5. Stay low and crawl below the smoke to safety.  Smoke goes up with the warm air and the air below is fresher.
6. Don't stop to put on your clothes or look for valuables (财物).
7. Don’t go back into a burning house for any reason.
8.Wait for your family at a meeting place outside, such as a big tree or the entrance( 入口) of the housing estate（小区）, to know everyone is safe.
9. If you can’t escape from a room because of a fire outside, put wet clothing, towels, or blankets at the bottom of the door to keep the smoke out.
10.Open your window and ask for help if you can’t escape through the door.
11. Stop, Drop and Roll if your hair or clothes are on fire. Shout for help, but don't run. Running makes fire burn faster. Stop where you are. Drop to the ground while covering your face with your hands to protect it. Roll over and over until the fire is out.

【小题1】Why do you shout "Fire! Everyone out!”?

Most students think my reasons for this rule include negative experiences in the past when students made wrong use of technology. There’s a bit of truth to that. I’ve seldom had students make wrong use of technology in my classes; however, I have been e-mailed by students while they were in other teachers’ classrooms.
Some students think that I am anti-technology. There’s no truth in that at all. As I noted above, I love technology and try to keep up with it.
The real reason why I ask students to leave technology at the door is I think there are very few places in which we can have deep conversations. Interruptions (中断) by technology often break students’ thoughts and make them depend too much on outside information for ideas. I want students to dig deep in themselves for ideas. I want them to push each other to think differently and to make connections between the course material and the class discussion.
I have been teaching my history class in this way for many years and the evaluations (评价) show student satisfaction with the environment that I create. Students realize with deep conversation and difficult tasks, they learn at a deeper level – a level that helps them keep the course material beyond the classroom.
I am not saying that I won’t ever change my mind about technology use in my history class, but until I hear a really good reason for the change, I will continue my plan. A few hours of technology-free dialogue is just too sweet to give up.
【小题1】The writer’s rule for his History Matters class is ____.
