By teaching your children fire safety rules you can ensure they know what to do when a house fire occurs. Making sure your children know exactly what is required of them cuts down the chaos of the emergency situation and helps keep your family safe and secure.
All children should know about important fire safety procedures. For example, tell your children to stay low to the ground in a smoky room, which keeps them from breathing smoke, as smoke always rises towards the ceiling. Also tell them that they can put a damp towel or a piece of clothing over their faces and breathe in through it to cut down the effects of breathing smoke even more.
In addition, make sure your children know how to correctly stop, drop and roll when their clothes catch fire. Because it results in loss of oxygen, which puts out the flames. Also your children should know to touch door handles before opening the doors to see if they’re hot. If they are, it means there’s a fire in the next room, and they should leave the door closed and find another route out of the house.
Make sure your children never play with lighters or matches. Usually, many children are attracted by lighters and matches and want to experiment with setting things on fire to see what happens. So hide lighters and matches in some place your children can’t reach.
Do regular fire drills to act out and improve your evacuation（疏散）plan. Make sure everyone knows all the possible exits of the house they can use, and that all members of your family know your evacuation plan well enough so that they don’t have to waste time thinking if a fire starts. Quick, determined response to a fire will save your family members’ lives.

There were a thousand reasons not to stop.I was running late for a very important...well，whatever it was that I was running late for that day.Surely the Highway Patrol would be along soon，and it's their job to help stranded (搁浅) motorists，isn't it?
That made 1,004 reasons not to stop.And here was 1,005：I was the world's worst auto mechanic.The first time I tried to change my car's oil myself I did fine—until I forgot to put the new oil in.The boys down at the garage had a big laugh over that.
I'm not sure how much it would have helped that lady who was stranded by the side of the freeway if I had pulled over.So I drove on by，just like hundreds of other drivers on the freeway that day.Then suddenly I turned off at the next exit and made my way back to see if I could at least give her a lift or something.But by the time I got back to her，a Hispanic (西班牙的) gentleman had pulled in behind her，and was tinkering (修补) with her car's engine.
“Is there anything I can do to help？” I asked.
“No，thank you，”the lady replied.“This nice man says he can fix it.” After the man repaired it，the woman tried to give him some money，but he declined and waved as she drove off.It wasn't until we started walking toward our cars that I noticed he had five more reasons not to stop than I did；his family was sitting in the station wagon，waiting patiently.“Do you stop and help people like this often？”I asked.
“Somebody has to，”he said.“What's she going to do if nobody helps？”And for him，that was enough.By telling the story，the author intends to tell us ________.
| A．we must help someone in trouble even if we have every reason not to do so |
| B．if we don't have the necessary skills or knowledge，we can't help a person much |
| C．what the person in trouble needs most is kindness rather than practical skills |
| D．we much thank the person who has helped us when we are in trouble |
What can we learn from the first two paragraphs?
| A．The author once helped a person who was in trouble but was laughed at by a boy. |
| B．The author just wanted to find an excuse to stop to help the stranded lady. |
| C．The author doubted whether he had the ability to give the lady some necessary help. |
| D．What the author was running late for made him very angry. |
Why did the author make his way back at the next exit?
| A．Because he wanted to see if anybody else had helped the lady out. |
| B．Because he felt guilty about not helping the lady. |
| C．Because he wanted to help the Hispanic gentleman fix the lady's car. |
| D．Because he had thought of a way to help the lady. |
Money Matters for Students
GETTING A GRANT(补助)

When people think of the unique characteristics of Beijing the hutong style always comes to mind.It is no exaggeration(夸张) to say within hutong lives the city's history.
The word hutong was borrowed from the Mongolian word to mean “water well” about 700 years ago.Later it referred to a place where people live.Hutong we see today are made up of small lanes formed by walls of siheyuan.They were built during the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties.
When the People's Republic of China was founded in 1949, there were more than 3,000 hutong.Most of the city's population lived in this traditional housing.But with the modernization of the city in the 1980s and early 1990s, many hutong were pulled down to build roads, skyscrapers and modern houses.
The government has recognized the importance of hutong to Chinese cultural heritage(文化遗产)．In 2002, Beijing listed 40 protected historical zones and increased its efforts to restore some key relics and older streets in the city.Nearly 500 hutong have survived.
Hutong that still exist are like oases(绿洲) of calm surrounded by the noisy city.Walking through them, it's common to see groups of elderly citizens sitting together playing cards, mahjong or Chinese chess.In the early mornings and evenings, they gather to practice traditional forms of exercise such as taijiquan as well as dancing and singing folk songs or Peking Opera.Hutong have become a museum of Beijing's folk customs and history.What is the original meaning of the word hutong?
| A．Small lanes. | B．Water well. |
| C．Siheyuan. | D．A traditional house. |
What does the phrase “pull down” mean in Paragraph 3?
| A．Replace. | B．Destroy. |
| C．Restore. | D．Establish. |

As researchers learn more about how children's intelligence develops, they are increasingly surprised by the power of parents.The power of the school has been replaced by the home.To begin with, all the factors which are part of intelligence—the child's understanding of language，learning patterns, curiosity—are established well before the child enters school at the age of six.Study after study has shown that even after school begins, children's achievements have been far more influenced by parents than by teachers.This is particularly true about learning that is languagerelated.The school rather than the home is given credit for variations in achievement in subjects such as science.
In view of their power, it's sad to see so many parents not making the most of their child's intelligence.Until recently parents had been warned by educators who asked them not to educate their children.Many teachers now realize that children cannot be educated only at school and parents are being asked to contribute both before and after the child enters school.
Parents have been particularly afraid to teach reading at home.Of course，children shouldn't be pushed to read by their parents, but educators have discovered that reading is best taught individually—and the easiest place to do this is at home.Many fourand fiveyearolds who have been shown a few letters and taught their sounds will compose single words of their own with them even before they have been taught to read.What have researchers found out about the influence of parents and the school on children's intelligence?
| A．Parents have greater influence than the school. |
| B．The school plays a greater role than parents. |
| C．Parents and the school have the equal power. |
| D．Neither parents nor the school has any influence. |
Researchers conclude that________.
| A．it is with the help of the teachers that children have an understanding of language |
| B．curiosity is formed after the children enter school |
| C．children's learning patterns are developed at the early age |
| D．only the school can give children the opportunity to make achievements |
According to the text, in which area may school play a more important role?
| A．Moral education. | B．Language education. |
| C．Physical education. | D．Science education. |
Many parents fail to make the most of their children's intelligence because
________.
| A．they usually push the children to read at home |
| B．they only teach them after they enter school |
| C．they teach them in a wrong way at home |
| D．they were told by educators not to teach their children |
When several different people look at the same person，it's not unusual for each of them to see different things；when you alone observe one behavior or one person at two different times，you may see different things.The following are but some of the factors that lead to these changing perceptions(感知认可)．
(1)Each person's perceptions of others are formed by his or her own cultural conditioning education，and personal experiences.
(2)Sometimes perceptions differ because of what we choose to observe and how we deal with what we've observed.It is not necessarily true that person's perception is based on observations of a particular person.Your observations may be totally controlled by what others have told you about this person；or you may focus (聚集)primarily on the situation or role relationship.Most people do not use the same yardstick(标准)to measure their parents，their friends and strangers.
(3)Sometimes we see only what we want to see or don't see what may be obvious to others because of our own needs，desires，or temporary emotional states.This is a process known as selective perception.Selective perception is obviously more difficult when contradictory (矛盾的)information is particularly obvious，but it can be done.We can ignore(忽视)the “stimulus”．He's basically a good boy so what I saw was not shoplifting.
We can reduce the importance of the contradictory information—All kids(孩子)get into mischief(顽皮)．Taking a book from the bookstore isn't such a big deal.“We can change the meaning of the contradictory information.” It wasn't shoplifting because he was going to pay for it later.The first factor given by the author that affects our perception is ________.
| A．the abilities of one's auditory (听觉的)and visual (视觉的)sensors |
| B．cultural background and personal experiences |
| C．experiences one learns from others |
| D．critical measures taken by other people |
While observing a particular person，________.
| A．one is likely to take all aspects(方面)to consideration |
| B．one pays more attention to his/her advantages |
| C．children often differ from grownups in perception |
| D．one tends to choose certain cues(提示)to look for |
Observation of the same person by two people at the same time may differ because ________.
| A．their measuring yardsticks are not the same |
| B．either of them may be slow to catch information |
| C．the time for observation is not long enough |
| D．each of them uses different language to express his/her impressions |
