• 1．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 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 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（滅火器） 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 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.

• 3．When you put down your pens at the end of college entrance exam，12 hard years of study will have come to an end.Forget your studies for a while.It's time to enjoy yourselves!

     Sometimes teachers and parents also go to the party.But others like to go with friends，to whom they are soon going to say good-bye.

• 9．Robert and Henry were two friends in the same class.They always played together and went home together.One day，Robert and Henry were going home from school，when，on turning a corner，Robert cried out， "A fight!Let's go and see!"
      "No" said Henry. "Let us go quietly home and not meddle with（插手） this quarrel.We have nothing to do with it and may get into trouble.Also our parents are expecting to have dinner with us together at home and I don't want them to worry about me. "
      "You are a coward（懦夫），and afraid to go， " said Robert，and off he ran.Henry went straight（直接） home，and in the afternoon went to school as usual.
      But Robert had told all the boys that Henry was a coward，and they laughed at him a great deal.From then on，they looked down upon（看不起） Henry and didn't want to play with him together.
      Henry was sad but he wasn't angry with Robert for his rude behavior，because he knew that they misunderstood（誤解） him，and that he ought to be afraid of nothing but doing wrong.Thus，he just ignored the other boys' laughter（笑） and continued to go to school and study as well.However，Robert didn't invite Henry to go home with him anymore.Instead，he had some other boys who also thought Henry was a coward.Every day after school，they didn't go straight home but went to the river or somewhere to play games and had a lot of fun.
      A few days later，Robert was bathing（戲水） with his new friends in a river，and got out of his depth.He struggled and cried for help，but he failed.The boys who had called Henry a coward got out of the water as fast as they could，but they did nothing to help him.
