【解析】这篇文章讲了在防火行业工作的父亲在日常中经常对我们进行的各种防火训练。他常常在家中模拟各种危险的情景让我们想出路，为我们提出实用的建议。

【1】句意：那对一个父亲来说是挺不寻常的。后面说“结果，作为儿童，我们过去常常在家进行消防训练”。这就说明父亲在这一行、参与相关的会议等等这些经历是很不寻常的（unusual），选项A“不寻常的”，选项B“重要的”，选项C“奇怪的”，选项D“完美的”，故选A。

【2】句意：无论我们在做什么，我们都会立刻去房间里，并且站在我父亲面前。这里就是在描述一次训练，我们会“立刻”去房间里。选项A“以这种方法”，选项B“带有极大的关心”，选项C“立刻”，选项D“一直”，故选C。

【3】句意：但是，如果窗户卡住不能动了，你会怎么做？这里是父亲设置的问题，窗户应该是不能动了，卡住了（stuck），不是“坏了”，如果坏了，就能爬出去了。选项A“不能动的”，选项B“坏的”，选项C“打开的”，选项D“干净的”，故选A。

【4】句意：一旦你打破了窗户，你会怎样才能安全地爬出来？“make it …to climb out”是指“让爬出来…”，父亲是想让这种逃生安全的，故“让爬出来这一行为是安全的”，选项A“舒服的”，选项B“愉快的”，选项C“安全的”，选项D“容易的”，故选C。

【5】句意：爬出来，让自己低身，尽可能缩短地面距离。这里介绍的是安全脱离的办法，是让窗户到地面的“距离”（distance）更短一点，这样也就更安全，选项A“道路”，选项B“距离”，选项C“重量”，选项D“绳子”，故选B。

【6】句意：无论何时我们搬了家，他都会相应的改变建议。这里是说每次搬家的时候，父亲都会结合新的环境做出新的建议，也就是“改变”（change）自己的建议，选项A“发现”，选项B“采取，拿”，选项C“提供”，选项D“改变”，故选D。
