What if there is a fire where you live? Here are some tips.
If you’re in a room with the door closed and you can’t see any smoke around the door, you can open the door carefully and slowly. 16 . If there is no smoke or heat, go toward your escape route exit.
If you can see smoke in the house, stay low to the ground as you make your way to the exit. 17 Smoke naturally rises. You’ll breathe less smoke if you stay close to the ground.
18 Also ask your parents if windows would be possible escape routes. Learn how to unlock the windows, open them and remove the screen if necessary. 19 Lots of kids are injured because they fall out windows.
20 But if there is a fire, you have to leave them behind. The most important thing is that you get out safely. It’s also important to know that you shouldn’t stay in the house any longer. Someone else can make the fire alarm call from outside. Once you’re out, do not go back in for the things, even pets. You can tell the fire rescue people about the pets that were left behind and they may be able to help.
A. Make sure you do this only in an emergency!
B. It’s normal to worry about your pets or favorite toys.
C. Never be too concerned about your pets or favorite toys.
D. Leaving the room for the outside should be your first choice when there is a fire.
E. In a fire, smoke and poisonous gases hurt more people than the actual flames do.
F. Exiting through a door that leads outside should be your first choice as an escape route.
G. If you feel a burst of heat or smoke pours into the room when opening the door, quickly shut it.

Mr. Harris said he did not want to quarrel with the policeman, so everyone went home. They were sorry to have to go.

February 14th is Valentine’s Day! In China, it is only a day for young boyfriends and girlfriends. But my teacher and friends in America told me that Valentine’s Day is a public day.
This was my first Valentine’s Day in America. I didn’t understand the customs(风俗) clearly. Maybe I didn’t need to send any gifts. I watched others to see what they did, so next time I can understand.
On that day, when we began the reading class, Mr. Peters gave every student some chocolates and said, “Happy Valentine’s Day!” I was very happy the teacher gave his students gifts and blessings. I never saw that in China. Maybe American teachers are very different. I didn’t buy a gift for the teacher, so I owed(欠) a gift to the teacher. Anyway, I want to say, ”Thank you, Mr. Peters, and I’m sorry.”
When we had a break, one of my classmates gave me a Pokemon card. It was very funny and I felt thankful, but I thought I owed a gift again.
When we were coming to our grammar class, suddenly I heard someone calling me. ”Shelly!” I stopped. Another classmate who had only been in our class one day gave me some chocolates. She said, “These are for you and your friends. Have a good day!” I was looking at her leaving and thinking that we were in the same class only one day, but now we are friends. That’s very great, but I owed a gift again.
When I came home, my Chinese friend sent some roses and chocolates. I was surprised and happy because I had never received roses in my past life, but I hoped it was the last gift. I didn’t want to owe more gifts.

You may spend most of the days walking around these places. This can be very tiring. Do not ask your body to do too much. A tired body means a weak body. A weak body gets dick easily.

Sleep is also important. If you want to stay healthy, you need to get enough sleep. Your hotel room may be noisy, or the bed may be too hard. Or you may want to stay out late at night. Then you should plan to sleep for an hour during the day. The extra hour can make a big difference.
Finally, if you want to stay healthy, you must eat well. That means eating the right kinds of food. Your body needs fresh fruit, vegetables, mean, milk and cheese.
So, remember this: if you want to enjoy your vacation, take good care of yourself. Give your body some rest. Get enough sleep and eat healthy food.

Today most Chinese teenagers are happy to be favored by two parents and four
grandparents in their families. But have you ever thought about how to take care of four to twelve old people when you grow up and get married? This could be a problem for most Chinese youths as China is entering a new stage of an aging society.
An aging society refers to one where 10 percent or more of its population is over 60. By the end of 2007, Chinese over 60 years old have made up 11.7 percent of the nation’s total population. “China is getting old before becoming rich,” said Cai Chuang, a professor at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences. The population increase that has powered Chinese growth for three decades will give way over the next ten years to a rapid aging of the society. This will lead to weaker economic growth, because of a lack of labor resources.
As a result of the family planning policy, it is expected that the country's total workin population will decrease after 2015.China is not the only country getting old. More than 60 countries have become aging societies and one in three people in the European Union is a senior citizen. However, experts said that China doesn't have a highly developed social security network to support the old. Social security is an insurance program protecting those in need, including the old, the disabled and others.
5. An aging society is a society that ___________.
A. less than 10% of its population is over 60
B. 10% or more of its population is over 60C. there are four old people in a family
D. most of its population is over 60
6. If China enters an aging society, ___________.
A. there will not be enough labor resources
B. the family planning policy will be ended
C. everyone needs to take care of four to twelve o ld people
D. China will have a highly developed social security network
7. The passage mainly talks about ___________.
A. an aging society B. Chinese social problems
C. family planning policy D. aging problem in China

Ways to Create Quality Time with Your Kids
Children are a reward from the Lord according to the Bible. I have certainly found that to be true. ___36___ In spite of a tight schedule, I do several things to develop my relationships with my kids.
1. Take one child along on a short trip.

2. ___38___
I try to have regular dates with each of my children. Like my wife, they deserve to have my attention every once in a while. I build the time around them, doing things they enjoy and just walking together.
3. Eat one meal together each day.
In our home breakfast is chaos, and by lunchtime we are not at home. But as much as possible we try to have dinner as a family. ___39___ It's our chance to celebrate victories, and to help each other through the tough things.
___40___I picture myself taking aim, pulling back the bow and sending them into the world. The target that they hit depends largely on the amount that I put in them today. Does it make effort? Yes. Are there tough choices sometimes？Yes. Is it worth it? Certainly!

Margie was the best hostess. She greeted everyone at the door, and she 41 candies and offered drinks. Margie 42 that everyone had a good time and that absolutely everything was 43 . But this was not Margie’s party. She was a 44 at the party like everyone else, and yet she acted as if she owned the 45 . She wants to be 46 and needs to be in control. I used to be like Margie, 47 to control the uncontrollable. I felt 48 the feelings and actions of the people around me. My body ached due to the weight I put on my own 49 .
One day while I was out with a friend, I realized how far my desire for 50 had gotten. As I Liked to my friend, a stranger’s towel was blown away. I 51 in vain for the towel. My friend called me on it and I 52 realized the extent (程度) my sense of responsibility had gotten. Realizing I was 53 living my life, I had to make a(n) 54 .
If we turn to 55 ,we see that it does not fight for control. A stream does not try to 56 its own course; water simply flows the path of least resistance (阻力). A 57 does not create an exact flight plan; a plane trusts its inner guidance system and adapts 58 to new wind currents (气流).
Next time you try to control the uncontrollable, take a breath. 59 and wait. You will find things can be better, with less effort, and in 60 ways you could not have imagined. And you will find a love of life again.
