If you are in bed, hold firmly onto your bed and make use of a pillow to safeguard your head. You may use a doorway but only when it is close to you. It should also be considered whether it is strong enough to deal with the load.

If you are running out, do not use lifts, even if they work. Electricity may go out at any time. Many injuries happen when people try to rush out. This means you ought to stay in your house or perhaps wherever you are.

If you want to become a better reader, what should you know about the speed of reading? Some people read very quickly, while others read very slowly. But which one is better?

The quick reader may be a good reader when he reads a storybook for fun. But he may not be able to slow down enough to read directions (说明书) carefully. He may read so quickly that he does not take time to understand fully the ideas and information which are important to remember.

The slow reader may be a good reader when he reads directions for making something. But he may spend too much time in reading a simple story which is meant to be enjoyed but is not important enough to be remembered.

So, you see, either a quick reader or a slow reader is not really a good one. If you wish to become a better reader, here are four important things to remember about the speed of reading.

First, knowing why you are reading will often help you to know whether to read quickly or slowly.

Second, some things should be read slowly throughout. Examples are directions for making or doing, something, science and history books, and math problems. You must read such things slowly or remember each important step and understand each important idea.

Third, some things should be read quickly throughout. Examples are simple stories for enjoyment, letters from friends and bits of news from hometown papers.

Finally, in some of your reading, you must change your speed from fast to slow and slow to fast, as you go along. You will need to read certain pages quickly and then slow down and do more careful reading when you come to important ideas.

No matter where you are, knowing how to protect yourself and your family during an earthquake is necessary. Here are some tips for you.

Duck, Drop, Cover and Hold

Duck under a strong piece of furniture, if possible. Most earthquake injuries are the result of being hit by something falling on you. Drop to the floor to avoid falling or being thrown down. And protect you from flying glass. Use clothes,blankets, cushions or furniture for covering. Hold on to whatever you're using, as the ground motion may be violent. Get away from glass, bookcases or anything heavy that could fall over on you.

Stay away from the doors

Doorways used to be recommended but most experts now say: stay away from them. Doors can suddenly shut with bone crushing force. Anyway, the experts say that in modern construction a doorway is no stronger than any other location along the wall.

Try to run outside

While the ground is moving, the greatest danger is of being injured by taking a fall or being hit by a falling piece of building as you exit. If you smell gas or when the shaking stops, calmly, carefully make your way out and get clear of the building. Before you leave, get shoes on because you will be walking on broken glass. If you're in a crowd, stay calm, and take what can cover you and find where you are. In a crowd the greatest dangers are panic and the rush for an exit.

1.Which of the following is TRUE about earthquakes?

A. Floors cause most injuries.

B. Doors should be shut at all times.

C. Clothes can be used for protection.

D. Following a crowd is always right.

2.Which of the following best explains"recommended"underlined in this text?

A. Introduced.

B. Realized.

Would you know what to do if a fire started in your home? Take the time now to review the following safety tips, and your family will be prepared in time of a fire in your home:

1.

An escape plan can help every member of a family get out of a burning house. The idea is to get outside quickly and safely. 2. So it is important to learn and remember the different ways out of your home.

Stay low

If you can see smoke in the house, stay low to the ground as you make your way to the exit.　 3. You will breathe less smoke if you stay to the ground. Smoke naturally rises, so if there is smoke while you are using your escape route，staying low means you can crawl (爬) under most of it.

What if you can’t get out right away?

If you can’t get out fast because fire or smoke is stopping an escape route, you will want to yell for help. You can do this from an open window or call 911 if you have a phone with you. 4. Then, firefighters will have a hard time finding you. The sooner they find you, the sooner you both can get out.

If your clothes catch fire, what should you do?

Your clothes could catch fire during a fire or by accident if you step too close to a candle. If this happens, don’t run! Instead, stop, drop to the ground, cover your face with your hands, and roll. This will cut off the air and put out the flames. 5.

A. An easy way to remember this is: Stop, Drop, and Roll!

B. Smoke from a fire can make it hard to see where things are.

C. Preventing fires is in the first place!

D. Know your way out

E. They will help prepare you for what you need to do in case of a fire.

F. Even if you are scared, never hide under the bed or in a closet.

G. In a fire, smoke and poisonous (有毒的) air hurt more people, than the actual flames (火焰) do.
