Escaping a fire is a serious matter: knowing what to do during a fire can save life. It is important to know the way you can use and show them to everyone in the family, such as stairs and fire escapes, but not lifts. From the lower floors of building, escape through windows is possible. Learn the best way of leaving by window with the least chance of serious injury.

The second floor window is usually not very high from the ground. A person of average height, hanging by the fingertips will have a drop of about 6 feet to the ground. It is about the height of an average man. Of course, it is safer to jump a short way than to stay in a burning building.

Windows are also very useful when you are waiting for help. Be sure to keep the door closed before opening the window. Otherwise, smoke and fire may be drawn into the room. Keep your head low at the window to be sure you get enough fresh air rather than smoke that may have leaked into the room.

On a second or third floor, the best windows for escape are those which open onto a roof. From the roof a person can drop to the ground more safely. Dropping onto the cement might end in injury. Bushes and grass can help to break a fall.

69. Which of the following people seldom use when trying to escape a fire?

A. Windows.                        B. Doors.                                   C. Fire escapes.             D. Lifts.

70. How far from the ground to the second floor window?

A. About 12 feet.                                                           B. About 3 feet.

C. Nearly 10 feet.                                                           D. About height of an average man.

71. The writer tells us that ______.

breathing in smoke might not be harmful

smoke will enter the room by an open window

fresh air can’t reach the second floor

to keep your head low will help you escape a fire

Role models are powerful. No matter what stage of life you’re at, it’s good to have someone who encourages you to be the best version of yourself. Recent winners of national commendations mean we have a wider range of possible role models.

As part of the celebration of the 70th anniversary of the founding of the People’s Republic of China (PRC), President Xi Jinping signed a presidential decree (主席令) on Sept 17 to award 42 people the Medal of the Republic, the Friendship Medal and national honorary titles, China Daily reported. Recipients come from various backgrounds, including scientists, lawmakers, educators, artists, model workers and six non-Chinese individuals. All have made big contributions to the nation’s construction and development.

Chinese scientist Tu Youyou is one of the eight who were awarded the Medal of the Republic. Tu, who won the 2015 Nobel Prize for her discovery of the malaria drug artemisinin (抗疟药物青蒿素), is the first Chinese citizen to win a Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine. She has saved millions of lives worldwide. She has also made important scientific innovation in traditional Chinese medicine.

“It is my dream that Chinese medicine will help us conquer life-threatening diseases worldwide and that people across the globe will enjoy its benefits,” Tu once wrote in the science journal Nature Medicine.

Tu is not the only one who has given her life to the country’s development. Nan Rendong, before his death in 2017, led the research and development of China’s Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical Telescope, the world’s largest radio telescope. He worked on the project for more than 20 years. The facility he designed helps humans search for extraterrestrial civilizations (外星文明) and marked a Chinese technological milestone. His contributions to Chinese astronomy earned him the title, “the people’s Scientist.”

Also receiving awards are six foreign friends who have lent their hands to assist with China’s prosperity. Former French Prime Minister Jean-Pierre Raffarin, an honoree of the Friendship Medal, is an advocate of the Belt and Road Initiative. Having worked to strengthen the friendship between French and Chinese people in the past decades, he told Xinhua that he is “sincerely pleased” with the honor. “To work for this friendship is to work for peace,” Raffarin said.

Thanks to the great efforts made by these heroic figures, we can live in a prosperous and peaceful country. Hopefully these role models can also light the way for future nation buildings.

1.What’s the main purpose of the article?

A.To express thanks to national heroes.

B.To tell readers what makes a good role model.

C.To describe the national honorary titles awarded recently.

D.To introduce some of the people who won national awards.

2.What do we know about Tu Youyou?

A.She is the only woman to be awarded the Medal of the Republic.

B.She won a Nobel Prize for her discovery of artemisinin 2017.

C.She has helped millions of people around the world defeat malaria.

D.She has helped traditional Chinese medicine gain popularity worldwide.

3.Nan Rendong was awarded for his contributions in the field of________.

A.Medicine B.agriculture

C.astronomy D.education

4.Why did Jean-Pierre Raffarin receive an award?

A.He introduced Chinese education To France.

B.He has helped improve China-France relations.

C.He has organized many cultural activities in China.

D.He has devoted himself to China’s economic development.
