Every year thousands of people get hurt or die when they are crossing the road. Most of these people are old people and children.     1    . Children usually meet with accidents because of their carelessness.     2    .

How can we lessen traffic accidents? All of us must obey the traffic rules. For the drivers, they shouldn’t drive too fast.     3    . For the pedestrians(行人), it’s very important to be careful when they are walking on the road. Therefore when we walk across the road, we must try to walk along the pavements(人行道). We must stop and look both ways before crossing the road. Look left first, next look right, then look left again only when we are sure that the road is clear, we can cross it. The right way to cross the road is to walk quickly. It’s not safe to run.     4    . Teens should try to help children, old people or blind people to cross the road, and never play in the street.     5    .

It includes self-help and home care. The knowledge of first aid can be of great help in serious situations. Here is something important about common treatment for heatstroke (中暑) and burns.

【推荐3】Accidents happen more often than you think. Every year in China, 3,200,000 people die in accidents. Experts say that the 10 minutes after an accident can make the difference between life and death. This is why learning first aid (急救) is so necessary.

The second Saturday of September is World First Aid Day. First aid mentions the first steps taken to help those who are hurt. They include keeping the person safe from harm, paying attention to their pain, and getting help either by telling other people or calling 120. Basic first aid training teaches you how to deal with emergencies, treat things like burns, bleeding and broken bones. It takes as little as two hours to learn these skills.

You can learn first aid by visiting the official website of China First Aid Training (http://www.chrctc.org.cn/). You can read books or watch videos that can be found on free apps like First Aid Guide. Some hospitals also give courses or even hold first aid camps for kids.

"Learning first aid is good for everyone and it is better to start young," said Wang Jiangshan, a doctor in the hospital's emergency room. It can be good for oneself and others for the rest of one's life.

【推荐1】What are you going to do if you are in a burning house? How will you escape? Do you know how to save yourself? Please read the following passage.

Escaping from a fire is a serious matter. Knowing what to do during a fire can save your life. It is important to know the ways you can use and show them to everyone in the family, such as stairways and fire escapes, but not lifts.

From the lower floors of the buildings, escaping through windows is possible. Learn the best way of leaving through windows with the least chance of serious injury.

The second floor window is usually not very high from the ground. An average（普通的）person, hanging by the fingertips, will have a drop of about six 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 useful when you are waiting for help. Be sure to keep the door closed. Or smoke and fire may be drawn into the room. Keep your head low at the window to be sure you get fresh air rather than smoke that may leak（渗）into the room.

On the second or third floor, the best windows for escape are those that open onto a roof. From the roof a person can drop to the ground more safely.

Dropping onto cement（水泥）ground might end in injury. Bushes（灌木丛）and grass can help to break a fall.
