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 you 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 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 leaked(渗) into the room.

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

It was the golden season. I could see the leaves falling with the cool wind. For others, it is a harvest season, while for me, it is an annoying season. I was for the Postgraduate Entrance Examination. But so many unhappy things made me so tired, so I decided to have a walk along the Yanjiang Road in my university.

"Autumn is a lonely season and life is uninteresting. The days in this season always get me " I thought when the sound of a guitar flowed(流动)into my ears, like a stream flowing from the mountains. A young girl, sitting on the lawn, was lost in playing her guitar. She was a beautiful girl, when the wind blew her long hair, l had never seen her before. The music was so attractive that I listened quietly.

Lost in the music, I did not that I had been standing for so long. But my existence(存在) did not seem to disturb her. Leaves were still falling. Every day when I passed by the lawn, I saw her playing her guitar.

Autumn was over. One day, when I was listening carefully, the sound suddenly stopped. To my surprise, the girl came over to me.

"You must like the music," she said.

"Yes, you play very well. Why did you stop?" I asked.

Suddenly, a expression appeared on her face.

"I came here just to have a rest because I failed in the college entrance examination. I felt very disappointed. And it was your listening every day that me," she said, "and I have to go tomorrow."

"In fact, it was your playing that gave me a autumn and helped me believe that I have the ability to pass the Postgraduate Entrance Examination." I answered, "I think it was God who gave us the to know each other and we should be good friends."

She smiled and I smiled in that beautiful autumn.
