Fires can cover a home in 60seconds! Are you prepared with a quick and safe method of fire escape? While most of us are within a few steps of a window in most of our homes, the upper floor presents unique challenges. The key to survival is planning ahead for the upper floor escape.
The two- and three-story fire escape ladders are the most common types, and can be purchased locally at hardware stores. While doing an Internet research, I found fire escape ladders for four- and five-and six-story homes. Fortunately, the majority of Livingston County homes can easily get by with the two- and three-story models.
The first task in planning an upper floor escape is taking the time to look out of each window and see where it leads you. Sometimes a straight drop is best for hanging a ladder on. Other windows will drop you to a lower roof, where you can wait for another ladder from outside the home to reach you.
Escape ladders usually come in a box that will easily slide under a bed or in a closet. When needed, you just slide it out, and place it near the window. Open the window as you have determined by now that a door escape from the room is not practical due to heat, smoke and fire conditions,. Make sure the hanger(挂钩) will fit in with the window, for which it is intended. It usually has a J-shaped hook, which hangs over the window edge.
Once you decide a room to store the escape ladder in, make sure the family members know where it is. If the stairs leading down are blocked due to the fire, head into the room with the escape ladder and close the door behind you. Fix it out of the window and begin climbing down. Have a stronger person go down first, who can then assist others.
Do as much planning and preparation well in advance of ever needing to use these fire safety skills and you and your family will remain safe.

There are plenty of things you can do right now to prepare if you live in an area where earthquakes often happen.
① Make sure each member of your family knows what to do no matter where they are when earthquakes happen:
Agree on a meeting place where you can all reunite afterward.
Find out about earthquake plans developed by children’s school or day care.
Remember transportation may be affected, so keep some emergency supplies--food, liquids, and comfortable shoes, for example—at work.
② Make sure all family members know where your gas, electric and water main shutoffs are and how to turn them off if there is a leak or electrical short.
③ Find the exact position of your nearest fire and police stations and emergency medical places.
④ Talk to your neighbors--how could they help you, or you them after an earthquake?
⑤ Take Red Cross First Aid and CPR Training Course.
⑥ Make your disaster supply bag. Beyond the usual flashlights, batteries and radios, include a first-aid bag; work gloves; shoes or boots; a week’s supply of medicine you or your family might need; credit card and cash; personal identification; extra set of keys; matches in a waterproof container; map of your area; phone numbers of family and other important people; copies of insurance policies and other important documents; a certain amount of water per person; three-day supply of food per person; hand tools; something for joy (toys, books, coloring books and crayons, playing cards)
⑦ Make sure bookcases, cupboards, tall furniture, and etc. stand well. Move the items which are heavy or easy to break to lower shelves. Fasten drawers and cabinet doors with latches or locks. Look for other steps you can take in your home and workplace to reduce your chances for injury and loss.

If you are a TV addict, you can't have missed the popular sitcom(情景喜剧) Home With Kids. The lead characters, 17-year-old Xiao Xue and 14-year-old Liu Xing can remind us of our own behavior or our classmates. We love the two teenagers, but are they good students? And what makes a good student?
“Being a student is a kind of occupation, so a good student should have good grades. Based on their school reports, clever and diligent, Xiao Xue is a much better student than her brother, Liu Xing,” says Wu Hao, 16, Chifeng in Inner Mongolia. “The boy should work harder at studying since our duty as students is to study well.”
It is generally accepted that getting good scores is crucial for a student. So to some, being a good student means ranking high in your class or even your school. However, Wu also admits that a student's personality is more important in being a role model student.
“Honesty and kindness make you admirable. But Xiao Xue can be selfish, dishonest and arrogant, which make others feel uncomfortable to be around her. So she has a lot yet to improve on,” Wu said.
Many teenagers do not think it is fair to judge students by their grades. Take Liu Xing for example. He is bright, good at computers and does everything else well like any other 14-year-old student except studying.
“He is smart, humorous and always has fancy ideas which makes him popular. I guess he could be an excellent student if he attended school in the United States, where high grades are not so important and creativity is hailed,” says Jia Xiaoxu, 17, Hefei, Anhui.
From the US hit movie High School Musical, Jia discovers her role model.
“Gabriella in the movie is an ideal student. She is ranked top but is not seen as a bookworm. She is sweet and sociable. Most importantly, Gabriella is always 'hungry' to try new things and actively participates in different kinds of activities,” she said.
1.What is the passage mainly about?
A.A discussion about what makes a good student.
B.Two lovely middle school students.
C.How to get high rank in study.
D.Study and personality.
2.Which statement is NOT true according to Wu Hao?
A.A student's personality is more important for a role model student.
B.A good grade is the most important for a good student.
C.Xiao Xue still has some shortcomings which need to be improved.
D.Xiao Xue is much better in study than her brother Liu Xing.
3.Which of the following is NOT the advantage of Liu Xing according to the passage?
A.He is smart and humorous.
B.He does everything well except study.
C.He gets on well with Xiao Xue.
D.He is good at computer and creative.
4.What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A.To be good students, we should be eager to learn and take part in different activities.
B.To be good students, we should work hard.
C.To be good students, we should not be addicted to books.
D.To be good students, we should only concern about social issues.

Sports can help you keep fit and get in touch with nature .However, whether you are on the mountains, in the waves, or on the grassland, you should be aware that your sport of choice might have great influence on the environment.
Some sports are resource-hungry. Golf, as you may know, eats up not only large areas of countryside, but also tons of water. Besides, all sorts of chemicals and huge amounts of energy are used to keep its courses(球场) in good condition. This causes major environmental effects. For example, in the dry regions of Portugal and Spain, golf is often held responsible for serious water shortage in some local areas.
There are many environment-friendly sports. Power walking is one of them that you could take up today. You don’t need any special equipment except a good pair of shoes; and you don’t have to worry about resources and your purse. Simple and free, power walking can also keep you fit. If you walk regularly, it will be good for your heart and bones. Experts say that 20 minutes of power walking daily can make you feel less anxious, sleep well and have better weight control.
Whatever sport you take up, you can make it greener by using environment-friendly equipment and buying products made from recycled materials. But the final goal should be “green gyms”. They are better replacements for traditional health clubs and modern sports centers. Members of green gyms play sports outdoors, in the countryside or other open spaces. There is no special requirement for you to start your membership. And best of all, it’s free.
1.Which of the following is the author most probably in favor of?
A. Cycling around a lake. B. Motor racing in the desert.
C. Playing basketball in a gym. D. Swimming in a sports center.
2.What do we know about golf from the passage?
A. It is popular in Portugal and Spain.
B. It causes water shortages around the world.
C. It pollutes the earth with chemicals and wastes.
D. It needs water and electricity to keep its courses green.
3.The author uses power walking as an example mainly because______.
A. it is an outdoor sport B. it improves our health
C. it uses fewer resources D. it is recommended by experts
4.The author writes the passage to_______.
A. show us the function of major sports
