In the earthquake, a father left his wife safely at home and rushed to the school where his son was supposed
to be, only to discover (发现) that the building was as flat as a pancake.
He was surprised at what he saw, but he suddenly remembered the promise (承诺) he had made to his son:

There is nothing you can do!" But he only replied, "Are you going to help me now?" And then he continued to dig
for his son, stone by stone. The policemen also tried to pull him off and asked him to go home. But he only replied,
"Are you going to help me now?" But everyone was sure it was over. No one helped. He went on alone to see if
his son was still alive, 8 hours… 12 hours… 36 hours… then, in 38th hour, he pulled back a big stone and heard
his son's voice. He screamed, "Armand!" He then heard, "Dad, it's me. I told the other kids not to worry. I told
them if you were alive, you'd save me and when you saved me, they'd be saved! You have promised
no matter what happens, you will always be there for me! You did it, Dad!"
"Come out, boy!"
"No, Dad! Let the other kids out first, because I know you'll get me! No matter
what happens, I know you will always be there for me!"

Do you know why you sleep? You may think it’s because you’re tired. Or perhaps you’ve been told sleep is good for you. Yet no one knows exactly why or how people sleep.
Until the early 1950s, most scientists thought the body and brain rested during sleep. Then a scientist watched people sleep. He noticed that during periods of between 5 and 30 minutes each, sleepers’ eyes made rapid movements, as if they were watching something. He called these periods REM sleep, for Rapid Eye Movement. Periods when sleepers’ eyes did not move he called non-REM sleep.
Whenever the scientist woke people during REM sleep, they were having vivid dreams. Measurements showed that sleepers’ pulses(脉搏)went up quickly during REM sleep. Their breathing, heartbeat, and the blood going to the brain also increased. Far from being a time of rest, REM sleep is a time when the body is hard at work. Scientists still don’t know the reason for this. Some believe REM sleep makes learning easier. Babies spend a lot of time in REM sleep. Because of this, some scientists believe that REM sleep helps the brain grow. Others think REM sleep is a time for the brain to empty the day’s garbage.
One thing all the scientists agree on is that sleep is necessary. Without enough sleep, people make mistakes. Most major car accidents happen during the early morning hours, when people are sleepiest.

We all know the dangers of fires. It’s good and necessary for a family to learn how to prepare for a fire. Here are some suggestions.![]()
Put a smoke alarm(火警) in the house. Smoke from a fire causes the alarm to go off. The alarm makes a loud sound. The sound tells everyone to leave the house at once.
Make escape(逃脱) plans. We should know all the ways out of the house. If there is a fire, everyone follows the plan to get out. Part of the plan is to check all the windows to make sure they can be opened easily.
Buy fire extinguishers(灭火器) in the house. Everyone in the family should know how to use them.
Practise for a fire. We do fire practice because we teach children about fire safety. Everyone in the family should know the following fire rules:
★ Don’t open a hot door! The fire can grow more quickly if you open the door.
★ Stay close to the floor! Smoke can be more dangerous than fire. The best air is near the floor because smoke rises.
★ What will you do if your hair or clothes start to burn? First, stop! Don’t run! The fire burns faster because of more air. Drop! Fall to the floor. Then roll! Turning over and over will make the fire go out. Put a blanket(毯子) around you to keep air away from the fire that may still be on you.
There are many possible causes for fires. A wise family is ready all the time. If there is a fire, don’t forget to call 119 for help.
