It was a beautiful sunny day in a small village in Africa. I was playing with the children outside. A little boy, about 7 years old, gestured to me to follow him. He had a shy smile on his small face and said something to me.
"You want me to go to your home?" I asked. He nodded. So we went hand in hand to his home.
We went to the place where the cabbages were growing. "Piga picha" he said … "Take a picture". Then, I took a photo and showed him the photo on the camera, and he nodded.
We walked closer to the house and the little boy stood by the coffee tree. There his younger brother was picking coffee berries（咖啡豆）. "Piga picha" he said again. I took a picture quickly for his younger brother.
He then pulled me by the hand to his mother's grave（墓地）around the back of the house. "Mama Sue," he said almost in tears, "Piga picha." It was my turn to nod. I silently obeyed his simple request. "Piga picha."
A picture of a little boy at his mother's grave! That reminded me: 40 years ago, when I was 7 years old, I was also standing at my own mother's grave.

Fire accidents often happen in our daily life. So, as middle school students, it is very important for us to learn what to do when a fire breaks out. Here are some tips, and please keep in mind.
Put a smoke alarm in the house. Smoke from a fire causes the alarm to go off. The alarm makes a loud sound. The sound tells us to leave the house at once.
Make escape plans. We should know all the ways out of the house. If there is a fire, everyone follows the plan to get out. Part of the plan is to check all the windows to make sure they can be opened easily.
Prepare fire extinguishers (灭火器) in the house. Everyone in the family should know how to use them. Practice for a fire. We should do fire practice because they teach us about fire safety. Everyone should know the following fire rules:
Don't open a hot door! The fire can grow more quickly if you open the door.
Stay close to the floor! Smoke can be more dangerous than fire.
The best air is near the floor because smoke rises.
What will you do if your hair or clothes start to burn? First, stop! Don't run! The fire burns faster because of more air. Drop! Fall to the floor. Then roll! Turning over and over will make the fire go out. Put a blanket around you to keep air away from the fire that may still be on you.
There are many possible causes for fires. A wise family is ready all the time. If there is a fire, don't forget to call 119 for help.

Do you know the boy in the picture? He is Kuang Heng. Kuang Heng lived in more than 2,000     46     (year) ago in China.
From the picture we can see: at that time, he was in worn clothes, and sitting at     47     wooden table with a pile of books on it. A little weak light came     48     through a small hole in the wall. He was reading carefully.
This is the well-known story from the ancient Chinese idiom.
