But if there is a fire in our building, should we do? Pour some water your clothes. What’s more, put a towel (毛巾) over your mouth and your nose to keep the out. You’d better run away from the fire as as you can. But you mustn’t rush! Or you may fall over and hurt yourself or others. Of course you should also call .

About a week ago, when I was playing basketball at our city park, I noticed a small group of boys picking on(作弄) a smaller boy. They were calling his names and even pushed him to the ground and kicked something in his face. When I saw that, I walked over to the group.
I stepped them and the smaller boy, and asked them politely what this boy had done . One of the boys replied, “He’s weird.” Then I asked one of the boys if he thought his friend was weird, and the was “No.” So, I asked another boy what the word “weird” , and he said, “Different.” That was my cue(暗示). I told them that everyone was , and that they all looked just as different to the other boy as he did to them. They all stood for a moment, and then the most amazing thing happened. One of the boys helped the small boy off the ground and then said sorry to him. He even him to play with them.
I thanked the boy for being so brave. As I looked around, I realized that there were many other people at the park no one else had stopped to help this boy. I felt happy that the boy was to stand up against his friends to help someone in need, but I felt sad that else had even taken a second look.

They said they always felt that the color was boring and dull.
“Could we paint the classroom a different color?” one of the students asked. The other students nodded eagerly in agreement. Mr. Garza replied that they would have to ask the headmaster for permission. He assigned the students the task of meeting with the headmaster, in order that they could persuade(说服) him to them to repaint the classroom.
The students were excited when the headmaster agreed. They discussed colors for the classroom walls and finally decided on a soft yellow. The parents’ club donated the paint, rollers, brushes, and other equipment.
