What are you going to do if you are in a burning house? How will you escape? Do you know how to save yourself? Please read the following passage.

Escaping a fire is a serious matter. Knowing what to do during a fire can save your life. It is important to know the ways you can use and show them to everyone in the family, such as stairways and fire escapes, but not lifts.

From the lower floors of the buildings, escaping through windows is possible; learn the best way of leaving by windows with the least chance of serious injury.

The second floor window is usually not very high from the ground. An average (平均高度的) person, hanging by the finger-tips will have a drop of about six feet to the ground. It is about the height of an average man. Of course, it is safer to jump a short way than to stay in a burning building.

Windows are also useful when you are waiting for help. Be sure to keep the door closed. Or smoke and fire may be drawn into the room. Keep your head low at the window to be sure you get fresh air rather than smoke that may have leaked (渗) into the room.

On a second or third floor, the best windows for escape are these which open onto a roof. From the roof a person can drop to the ground more safely. Dropping onto cement (水泥) might end with injury. Bushes and grass can help to break a fall.

1．It is more important to ________.

   A. put out the fire in the burning house        B. Know the ways to escape the fire

   C. jump off a burning house                 D. keep the door closed

2．It is possible to escape through the windows ________.

   A. if you have a long rope                     B. if you are strong enough

   C. if you live on a lower floor                  D. if there are some bushes on the ground

3. Which of the following escaping way is NOT right?

   A. You can escape through stairways.    

B. You can choose fire escapes.

   C. Escape from the windows which open onto a roof.

   D. Use a life to come down at once.

4．Open the window so that ________ if the building is on fire.

   A. you can get fresh air                      B. you can call for help

   C. you can easily jump off                    D. you can be seen first

5．The best title for the passage is ________.

   A. Escaping from the Windows                 B. Save Yourself in the Burning House

   C. Knowledge on Fire                         D. Waiting for Help

  This year, Sichuan schools decide to start morning classes an hour later. This will help students feel less tired. And most junior high schools will begin the first class at about 8:30 am.

   A. Wu Hongli feels the same. She said the new timetable (时间表) was good for her health. “I used to get up at 6:30 am. I had to drink coffee every night, or I would feel too sleepy to finish my homework,” said Wu. “Now I can finish it without coffee. Because I can sleep a little longer.”

  B. The students are happy about the change. Liu Ming told us that his class were excited by the news on the first day of school. “Great! From now on we students at No.4 Middle School don’t have to get up early!” Liu said that he used to get up at 6:40 am. Now he can get up at 7:40 am because class doesn’t start until 8:40 am.

  C. But some parents are worried that more sleep will mean less learning. There used to be five classes in the morning. Now there are only four.

D. Many teachers say the change will help students learn better. “Students used to be sleepy for the first two classes in the morning,” said Huang Shan, an English teacher at Chengdu No.12 Middle School. “But now they are active in class and learn much better than before.”

E. In fact, every coin has two sides. So does the change in the school timetable.

A loud noise suddenly hurts your ears while you enjoy a movie in the cinema. A stranger makes you jump as he shouts at his friend on the other side of the city. Mobile phones are everywhere and sometimes they can be very annoying. Although they are necessary for modern life, it is common to hear people complain about mobile phones.

Most public places have mobile phone rules. So try to keep your phone ringer as low as possible or put it on vibrate mode(震动模式). A good time to leave your phone at home would be at school or when visiting a hospital.

If you need to make or take a call while in a meeting or at a restaurant or a theater, leave the room. If you are waiting for a call, get a seat near the door. It is polite to tell others at the beginning that you are waiting for an important call. When you get a call and you are with friends, keep the call short and speak quietly. A good way to make sure that people don’t interrupt you and others is to tell your friends when it’s a good time to call.
