Get out of the room as     as possible. Don’t try to take anything with you. A fire can become very dangerous in a few seconds. If there is a lot of smoke in your room, keep your head and body close    the floor. There is less smoke lower down, so it’s easier to breathe and see where you are going. Test the door    you open it. If it’s too hot, do not open it. Try to find a different way out.    use the lift during a fire. Always use the stairs. A lift may stop working. Don’t go back to the burning house for your pet or anything else you have left behind. The pet animals can often get out of the room on their own before you do.
What if you can’t get out of your room? Close the door and put a quilt (被子) at the foot of the door. It can stop the    from coming in. Open the window and shout for help. Let people know that you are still inside the building. Don’t stay     the bed. It’s hard for others to find you. So stay by the window on the floor. Keep these tips in mind, they will be  if you are caught in a fire.

Do you often think of your parents? You may say, “Of course, I    . I buy a gift for my mother on Mother’s Day and on Father’s Day I give my father a gift,   .” But what about the other days of the year?
I have a friend. She  in Shanghai and her parents live in another city. One day I went to see her. We talked with each other happily. Then she wanted to    her parents. So she dialed（拨号）the number, but then she put down the phone. After about fifteen   , she dialed the number again. “Hi, Mom…”
Later I asked, “  did you dial the number twice?” She said, “My parents are old and slow(慢) . They   get to the telephone quickly. I always do so when I call them   I want to give them enough time to answer the call.”
My friend is a    girl. She is always thinking about her parents. You also want to be a good child, right? Please always remember   think of your parents, not just on some important days.
