IN    THE    BEDROOM

Don’t smoke in bed ------it causes 1000 fires a year, many with fatal (致命的)results.

Don’t overload your electrical points: the right way is “one appliance（电器）, one socket”（插座）.

Don’t use an electric underblanket over you or an overblanket under you. An underblanket , unless of the low- voltage type, MUST be switched off before you get into bed.

Never let furniture or clothing get close to a lighted fire. Make sure that there is a suitable guard for the room heater.

Keep aerosol-type containers （喷雾器）away from heat and NEVER burn or puncture（刺穿）them.

Don’t dim a table lamp by covering it: buy a low-wattage bulb（灯泡）.

Pajamas （睡衣）and nightdresses, especially for children and elderly people, should be made from flame- resistant material.

IF  CUT   OFF　BY  FIRE

Close the door of the room and any fanlight or other opening and block up any cracks （缝隙）with bedding, etc.

Go to the window and try to attract attention.

If the room fills with smoke, lean out of the window unless prevented by smoke and flame coming from a room below or nearby. If you cannot lean out of the window, lie close to the floor where the air is clearer until you hear the fire brigade（队）.

If you have to escape before the fire brigade arrives, make a rope by knotting together sheets or similar materials and tie it to a bed or another heavy piece of furniture.

If you cannot make a rope and the situation becomes intolerable（难耐的），drop cushions or bedding from the window to break your fall, get through the window feet first, lower yourself to the full extent of your arms and drop.

If possible drop from a position above soft earth. If above the first floor, drop only as a last resort.

Lao Yang was born in a small town. He liked reading when he studied at school. He thought the writers were respected and could get a lot of money. He wrote a lot of stories and posted them to the editorial departments but didn't receive any answers.
　　Now he works in a factory. He's busy at work. When he's free, he always reads something. He always remembers he hoped to be a writer when he was young. One day, Xiao Ping, his ten-year-old daughter, came back. She looked worried and didn't eat anything. She said Miss GAO, her Chinese teacher, told them to write a solicit article "My Father" that evening. But she did not know what to write.
　　"That's easy," said Lao Yang. "Let me help you."
　　Then he sat down to write the solicit article at once. He easily finished it on time. He was sure Miss GAO would like it. But one afternoon he asked his daughter if the article had been chosen to post to the editorial department.
　　"My teacher said your article digressed from the subject," said the girl.
　　"I don't think so," Lao Yang shouted angrily. "I described just my father!"

I Passed My Drive Test!

I’d been 16 for six days and was already prepared to deal with failure.

    I remember that, when my mum    1    me that morning, her voice wasn’t as screaming as it usually was. She had been    2    for more than one hour getting everything ready, and I could feel she was   3    me at the same time.

    I stayed in bed for a few minutes. I was    4   to leave its warmth and    5   to face the suffering that I’d rather let myself forget for the past months. Finally, I dragged myself    6   .

    The first thing I thought of after getting up was to    7   . I went to the kitchen and prepared a breakfast that was fairly    8   , but was still too big for my appetite(食欲，胃口) that day. I kept telling myself that I    9    eat. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, and this wasn’t a(n)    10    day. Besides maybe it would    11    me a little. But I doubted it. I left the kitchen because even the    12    made me feel sick.

    I finished getting ready and tried to settle down. It didn’t    13   , so I decided that my mum and I should go. We had    14    time, so I thought we could practise parking. I   15   , with the wheel hitting the pavement(人行道). After that, the little bit of confidence I had was    16   . I tried two more times, but did not improve much. Then we went towards the driving    17    site (地点).

    I waited twenty minutes---just enough time to make myself believe that I was going to fail. Then, finally, it was my    18   . I wasn’t sure of myself at all. I just wanted to get it over and make sure that I had to come back next Thursday.

    The first thing I had to do was parking, which I did quite well. The   19   that came with it hit me like a wave. The rest of the test went well and I passed it.

    The    20    of my mum made her face softer. I knew her worry was gone and she was happy for me.
