What if there is a
fire in your house? Would you know what to do? Here are several suggestions
which might help you escape (逃生) from the fire.
Leaving the house through a door should be your first choice as an escape route. Windows on a higher floor may be a safe escape route if you could get help from another person.
If you can see smoke in the house, stay low to the ground as you go to the door. In a fire, smoke and poisonous air hurt more people. You’ll breathe less smoke if you stay close to the ground.
If fire or smoke is blocking (阻塞) an escape route, you do this, firefighters (消防队员) will have difficulty finding you. The sooner they find you, the sooner you can get out.
Meanwhile, keep heat and smoke from getting through the door by blocking the cracks (缝隙) around the door with blankets, or clothing. If there is a window, open it all the way and stand in front of it. If you can get a piece of clothing, cover your mouth to keep from breathing in the smoke. This works even better if you wet the cloth first.

When this story happened, they were working around a very large house. Their job was to do the cleaning.

Often these workmen dropped something from the top of the house many meters high to the ground.
One morning Joe was working near the house with a cigarette behind one of his ears. Suddenly somebody on the top shouted, "Look out!" But Joe did not "look out". He looked up. And as he did so, a long knife missed Joe's head, but it cut off one of his ears. At once he put his hand to one side of his head and cried out, "I've lost an ear. Help! Help!"
Jeff ran up to help his friend. "Look for my ear," Joe told him. "It must be on the ground somewhere." Jeff looked everywhere for the missing ear. At last he found an ear on the ground.

How old is “old”? The answer has changed over the years. Two Hundred years ago, you were old at 35. At the beginning of the 20th century, the average life span (平均寿命) was 45. In 1950, 70-year-olds were really old. Today, a healthy 70-year-old is still thought young.

Sometimes, older minds can be as bright as young minds. Alice Brophy once said, “It makes me unhappy when people say, ‘You look young for your age.’ What does that mean? You know you can die old at 30 and live young at 80.”
