Keeping Safe in your House During a Fire...

Keeping Safe in your House During a Fire

Though you may not think you’ll ever fall victim to a house fire, it’s better to be prepared to avoid panicking. To increase your chances of survival, just follow these steps.

1. React as soon as you hear your smoke alarm goes off. On hearing your smoke detector or alarm going off and seeing a fire, exit your home as safely as possible.  1.

2. Safely exit through doors. If you don’t see smoke at the door, open it slowly and pass through it after making sure the door feels cool. If there is a fire preventing you from exiting the room, close the door.

3. Protect yourself from smoke inhalation(吸入). Get low to the floor and crouch or crawl on your hands and knees to avoid the smoke. 2. Cover your nose and mouth if you have to walk by or through a heavily smoke-filled room.

4. 3. If your clothes catch fire, immediately stop what you’re doing, drop flat to the ground, and roll around until you put the fire out.

5. Prevent the smoke if you can’t get out. 4. Close your door and cover all vents(通风口)and cracks(缝隙)around it with cloth or tape to keep the smoke out.

6. Call for help from a second story window. 5. You can take a sheet or something else—white preferably—and hang it out of the window to signify that you need help when the first res-ponders get there.

A. If you can’t escape your home, don’t panic.

B. Stop, drop, and roll if your clothes catch fire.

C. You are probably a lot safer by closing doors.

D. Escape from a second story window if you can.

E. Smoke inhalation causes people to become unconscious.

F. Do not try to get your phone, valuables, or your other important possessions.

G. If you are trapped in your second story room, get to an area where people can find you.

 

1. F 2. E 3. B 4. A 5. G 【解析】 这是一篇说明文。本文主要介绍了如果失火的时候我们该如何自救。 1.根据前文 React as soon as you hear your smoke alarm go off 可知一旦你听到烟雾报警器响了就立即做出反应,立刻撤离或者是立刻找个安全的地方。所以下文是嘱咐不要去拿一些自认为重要的东西,所以答案选F。 2.根据句子“Protect yourself from smoke inhalation”防止吸入烟雾。根据这些信息可推测是因为吸入烟雾会使人失去知觉,所以答案选E。 3.根据下文:If your clothes catch fire,immediately stop what you're doing,drop flat to the ground,and roll around until you put the fire out 如果你的衣服着火了,立即停止你正在做的事,平躺到地上,然后翻滚直到你把火扑灭。一系列动词“stop,drop,roll”可对应到B选项,所以答案选B。 4.Prevent the smoke if you can't get out.(如果你不能出来阻止烟雾。)Close your door and cover all vents(通风口)and cracks(缝隙)around it with cloth or tape to keep the smoke out.(关上你的门,覆盖住所有的通风口和用布或胶带封住裂缝周围,让烟雾进不来)从这些信息可以看出答案是A,指你如果无法从家里逃出来的情况,应该采取的措施。 5.根据前文Call for help from a second story window从第二层窗户求救的信息,可推测是指如果被困在二楼的房间,找到一个人们可以看到你的地方进行求救。故答案选G。

    Each time Chinese New Year is approaching, preparations are underway around the world. Here are some Chinatowns for those outside of China wishing to mark the day.

London

Although it may not be as large or as long-built as others, having only become a center for the Chinese community during the 1950s, London’s Chinatown is perfectly formed little firework that knows how to see in the year with a bang. Decorated with red lanterns, previous years have seen shows with acrobatics(杂技), martial arts(武术),dance and opera nearby.

San Francisco

San Francisco’s Chinatown is perhaps the most famous in the United States. The city was the main entry-point for Chinese who had crossed the Pacific to the USA during the early 19th century. Between the Grant Avenue and the Stockton Street, this historic area is a local treasure, attracting more visitors per year than the Golden Gate Bridge.

Bangkok

With an about100-year-old history, the Thai capital’s Chinatown contains complex streets offering all kinds of tasty treats, clothes, toys and antiques. Sunday market days are such a good time to get the full atmosphere of the neighborhood. The area is also known for its gold dealers, whose shops line the road.

Mauritius

Found in Port Louis, this Mauritian Chinatown shows the island nation’s rich multicultural diversity. Established in the early years of the 20th century by settlers from China, its tiny shops and restaurants serve locals and visitors. During the Chinese Spring Festival, the most exciting sight is the Dragon Dances on Rue Royale when Chinese musicians and dancers perform the traditional lion dances through the streets.

    “Mum, what does it mean when someone tells you that they have a skeleton(骨骼)in the closet(衣橱)?” Jessica asked. “A skeleton in the closet?” her mother paused thoughtfully, “Well, it’s something that you would rather not have anyone else know about. For example, if in the past, someone in Dad’s family had been arrested for stealing a horse, It would be ‘a skeleton in his family’s closet’. He really wouldn’t want any neighbor to know about it.”

“Why pick on my family?” Jessica’s father said with anger. “Your family history isn’t so good, you know. Wasn’t your great-great-grandfather a prisoner who was transported to Australia for his crimes?” “Yes, but people these days say that you are not a real Australian unless your ancestors arrived as prisoners.” Gosh, sorry I asked. I think I understand now,” Jessica cut in before things grew worse.

After dinner, the house was very quite. Jessica’s parents were still quite angry with each other. Her mother was ironing clothes and every now and then she glared at her husband, who hid behind his newspaper pretending to read. When she finished, she gathered the freshly pressed clothes in her arms and walked to Jessica’s closet. Just as she opened the door and reached in to hang a skirt, a bony arm stuck out from the dark depths and a bundle of white bones fell to the floor, Jessica’s mother sank into a faint(晕倒), walking only when Jessica put a cold, wet cloth on her forehead. She looked up to see the worried faces of her husband and daughter.

“What happened? Where am I?” she asked. “You just destroyed the school’s skeleton, Mum,” explained Jessica, “ I brought it home to help me with my health project. I meant to tell you, but it seemed that as soon as I mentioned skeletons and closets, it caused a problem between you and Dad.” Jessica looked in amazement as her parents began to laugh madly. “They are both crazy,” she thought.

1.According to Jessica’s mother, “a skeleton in the clothes” means ______.

A. a family honor    B. a family secret

C. a family story    D. a family treasure

2.What can we learn about some Australian’s ancestors from Paragraph 2?

A. They were brought to Australia as prisoners.

B. They were the earliest people living in Australia.

3.Jessica’s mother fell down into a faint ______.

A. because she was knocked    B. because she was frightened

C. because she was injured    D. because she was surprised

4.Jessica’s parents laughed madly at the end of the story probably because ______.

    It is not only praise or punishment that determines a child’s level of confidence. There are some other important ways we shape our kids—particularly by giving instructions and commands in a negative or positive choice of words. For example, we can say to a child “Don’t run into traffic!” or “Stay on the footpath close to me.” In using the latter, you will be helping your kids to think and act positively, and to feel competent in a wide range of situation, because they know what to do, and aren’t scaring themselves about what not to do.

Actually, it is all in the way the human mind works. What we think, we automatically rehearse. For example, if someone offered you a million dollars not to think of a blue monkey for two minutes, you wouldn’t be able to do it. When a child is told “Don’t fall off the tree,” he will think of two things: “don’t” and “fall off the tree”. That is, he will automatically create the picture of falling off the tree in his mind. A child who is vividly imagining falling off the tree is much more likely to fall off. So it is far better to use “Hold on to the tree carefully.”

Clearly, positive instructions help kids to understand the right way to do things. Kids do not always know how to be safe, or how to react to the warning of the danger in negative words. So parents should make their commands positive. “Sam, hold on firm to the side of the boat” is much more useful than “Don’t you dare to fall out of the boat?” or worse still “How do you think I’ll feel if you drown?” The changes are small but difference is obvious.

Children learn how to guide and organize themselves from the way we guide them with our words, so it pays to be positive.

1.Positive choice of words helps kids to ______.

A. do things carefully    B. learn in different situations

C. improve their imagination    D. build up their confidence

2.What can we infer from Paragraph 2?

A. One can’t help imagining what is heard.

B. A child will act on what is instructed.

C. A child will fall off the tree when told not to.

D. One won’t think of a blue monkey when given money.

3.Which of the following commands helps kids to be safe?

A. Fasten your seat belt.

B. Don’t play by the lake.

C. How do you think I’ll feel if you get hurt?

D. Don’t you dare to walk through the red light?

4.The main idea of the passage is that ______.

A. praise makes kids confident    B. right instructions keep kids safe

C. positive instructions guide kids    D. clear commands make kids different

    My wife, daughter, and I moved into our home nine years ago and we spent a lot of time and energy in the yard to get it looking like the way it does today. We live on a corner, higher than street level, and the entire side of the yard is surrounded by a professionally built rock wall. The front of the house though is another story because instead of a wall along the sidewalk, the rocks appear to be just thrown up onto the dirt as if someone were in a hurry to finish.

We did the best we could with what we had to work with and called this area our “rock garden”. Whenever we had leftover flowers or plants, Denise or I would stick them out front, just to bring some color to the area. We would do all of the yard work on our own, even the tiring weed-pulling.

Last summer I had reached the end of the rock garden and found a tiny little plant that I could not immediately identify, I knew I didn’t plant it and Denise claimed that she didn’t either. We decided to let it continue growing until we could figure out what it was.

Weeks passed and as I made my way back to the mystery plant, it appeared to be a Sunflower with a tall skinny stalk(茎,杆)and only one head on it. I decided to baby it along and weed around it. As I pulled rocks from the area to get to the weeds, I noticed something unusual. The Sunflower had not started where I saw the stalk begin. It actually had begun under a big rock and grown under and around it to reach the sun.

That’s when I realized that if a tiny little Sunflower didn’t let a big rock stand in its way of developing, we too have the ability of doing the same thing. Once our environment begins to see that we believe in ourselves like that little Sunflower, we can attain the same nourishment(营养)and growth as well.

Stand tall like the Sunflower and be proud of who and what you are and the environment will begin to support you. You will find a way to go under or around your big obstacle in order to reach your desires.

1.We can know from the first paragraph that ______.

A. the author finished building his home hurriedly

B. the author’s family have lived in this home for nine years

C. the author’s home is made of rock walls

D. there is a wall along the sidewalk

2.The author found it unusual that ______.

A. the mystery plant turned out to be a Sunflower

B. the Sunflower had a tall stalk and only one head

C. the Sunflower grew under and around a big rock

D. the Sunflower had started where the stalk was seen

3.Which of the following best describes the Sunflower?

A. Brave and stubborn    B. Confident and persistent

C. Optimistic and modest    D. Mysterious and devoted

4.What can be inferred from this passage?

A. Human beings are able to remove obstacles

B. The universal truth made the sunflower survive

C. A big rock blocked out the sunlight of the sunflower

D. We can achieve success as long as we are self-confident
