House fires often happened． So it appears necessary to learn something useful to protect family from them． The following poster in the neighbourhood will tell you how to do it．
Fire Safety
Put a smoke alarm in your house and test it every month． Half of all house fire deaths happen between 11 pm and 7 am． The risk of dying in a house fire is cut in half with working smoke alarms．
Make sure your hearing aid， wheelchair or eyeglasses are next to your bed． Fire can spread throuh a house soon． You may have as little as two minutes to escape（逃离） safely． Be ready to act at once．
Create a fire escape plan． 77% of families don't have a house fire escape plan to follow． That's one of the reasons why at least one child dies and 293 children are injured in a house fire every day．
Don't call 119 until you are safely outside． During a fire， the first thing to do is to get out of house as fast as you can．

We all know that his name is Harry Potter．
And we all know that Harry Potter written by J．K． Rowling has influenced the lives of its readers．
Here are some fans' stories about the influence of the books on them．
Melanie Martin
I was lonely， and Harry Potter helped me get better．
When I was 16， my family moved away to a foreign country． I lived with my uncle and his family． At that time， I was lonely． Times were grey， but Harry Potter always gave me something to look forward to． The books helped me understand that I could talk to my friends， depend on them． And the books have taught us to care about others． Thanks to J．K． Rowling． How I wish to get her autograph（亲笔签名） !
Krystal Sim
Like Harry， I'd lost my mother． Harry Potter helped me face it．
My mother had been dead by the time I read Harry Potter． Though I was an 11﹣year﹣old girl， I understood a little of how Harry felt， I remember staying up to read it through the night and ending up crying as Lily Potter， Harry's mother， said to him﹣"You've been so brave．" Those are the kind of words you want to hear when you've lost a parent． They hit your heart sometimes， in the most beautiful way． I think I can be a lot stronger than before．
Matthew Lawrence
I didn't want to read， until my friends told me about a wizard （魔法师） called Harry．
I didn't like reading until I heard a lot of my friends reading Harry Potter． I read it from the first page to the last page． As Harry， Hermione and Ron grew up， I grew up， too． Harry Potter showed me that reading could be enjoyable． It changed my life because it led me to love reading．

Imagine a perfect day： the weather is good and everything seems fine． When， suddenly， your mobile phone loses its signal， the television has no programs， and you can't get online with your computer．
What has happened？ These are just the types of problems a solar storm（太阳风 暴）might cause． You may not think of storms as putting our society in danger． But today， a solar storm is as serious as other bad events， such as earthquakes．
A solar storm is caused by solar flares（太阳耀斑）： large explosions（爆炸）near the sun that can give off lots of energy． The strong energy can stop the satellite systems（卫星系统）that control our computers， telecom networks and so on． These storms can even cause the power to go out for weeks or months．
In the past few months， scientists have recorded some of the strongest sun flares in years． The most recent one happened around Valentine's Day， 2011． It caused radio and satellite signals to go down in some northern cities in China．
"Solar flare activity is going to be much worse than what we've seen in the past． We're not talking about a few cities losing power， it could be half of the country， maybe more．" SolarStorm Warning．com， a US website about space weather， warned．
Scientists say that little can be done to predict such a storm． Governments around the world are trying to work together before the next storm， although they are not sure when that may happen．

Once there was a famine（饥荒）．A rich cook sent for twenty of the poorest children in the town and said to them， "In this basket there is a piece of bread for each of you．Take it and come back to me every day at this hour for more．"
In a hurry the hungry children got together around the basket，and fought over the bread because each wanted the largest piece．At last they went away without even thanking the good cook． Mary， a poorly﹣dressed girl， did not fight with the other children，but stood quietly in distance．When the badly﹣behaved children had left，Mary took the smallest piece，which was all left in the basket．She kissed the cook's hand and went home．
The next day the children were as badly﹣behaved as before． Mary got a piece of bread almost half the size of the one she got the first day．When she came home，her mother cut the bread open． Many new， shining pieces of silver fell out of it．
Her mother was very worried ，and said， "Take the money back to the cook at once．The silver must have fallen into the dough（面团）by accident． Hurry up， Mary．"
When the little girl gave the rich man her mother 's message， he said， "It was no mistake．I had the silver pieces put into the smallest bread for you as a prize． Always be as satisfied， peaceable and thankful as you now are． Go home now， and tell your mother that the money is yours．"
