Do you know what to do when a fire happens?
If you can see smoke in the house, stay low to the ground. You’ll breathe less smoke if you stay close to the ground. Running out through a door should be your first choice, and ask your parents about windows if they would be possible escape routes. Even windows on a higher floor could be safe if you had help, like from a firefighter.
Ask your parents to teach you how to open the windows. Make sure you only do this in special time! Lots of kids are hurt because they fall out of windows. Sometimes, families have ladders(梯子). If you have one, ask your mom or dad to show you how to use it.
It’s common to worry about your pets or a favourite toy, but if there is a fire, you have to leave them behind. Once you’re out, do not go back in for anything—even pets. You can tell the firefighters about the pets and they may help you.

【推荐1】I am on the road a lot for my job and have seen a lot of accidents.
One day, I was heading to a far-away town. To get there, I had to take a busy road that had a lot of blind curves (弯道) and hills. I made my way around a curve and down a hill when I saw a car in my lane (车道) suddenly move into the other lane. It caused the cars in the other lane to slam on their brakes. In return, the cars behind them slammed their brakes as well. Still, some of the cars hit each other and caused accidents on the road.
After a while, things were almost cleaned up. All the cars drove away. Still, I saw a big rock in the road. I thought I’d move it to stop another accident from happening again. And just as I got out of my car to pick it up (捡起), I saw a guy on the other side of the road running along the highway (公路) to pick up the same rock. I watched him put it in the bed of his truck (卡车). The rock wasn’t in his lane and he still picked it up.
I guess it was just nice to see someone else go out of their way to do something for other people, knowing he wouldn’t get thanks.
So thanks, man, whoever you are.

【推荐2】It was the perfect(完美的) weather for leaf watching, and my housemate Julie and I planned to spend the weekend with our friends in the North Georgia mountains.
“Don’t you want to come along?” Julie asked her 15-year-old son Mark. “Enjoy the leaves by yourselves.” he told her. “I’ll be fine staying home by myself.”
Julie and I drove there in my car after work on Friday. On Saturday morning we hiked along the mountainside and enjoyed the beautiful colors. All of a sudden, I had a terrible feeling. “Go home” a voice seemed to shout to me. I couldn’t explain it, but I didn’t want to be there anymore. I just wanted to go home. “Carol, calm down. You’re being silly.” Julie said. But the voice just got louder. “I’ve got to leave” I said. “If you want to stay, you can get a ride back with someone else tomorrow.” Julie stood up. “No, I’ll go with you,” she said. We almost didn’t talk during the two-hour trip back. I felt very guilty(内疚的).
Finally, we pulled in. The lights were on in the house, but something was strange. The windows seemed to be fogged up(被烟雾笼罩). Julie opened the door and smoke poured out. “Mark!” she shouted. “Mark!” We rushed inside and found him asleep on the sofa. Julie shook him awake. I quickly found the source(根源) of the smoke — a pillow(枕头) too close to the fireplace. I then took it outside and threw water on it.

Greenland is the largest island in the world but has a small population of 56,000. Many of these “Greenlanders” live close to the coastline because a large part of the country is covered with ice and glaciers (冰川). Since the 1960s, the country has had economic (经济) difficulties and social problems. Its traditional industry (产业)—and its biggest—is fishing, but the country still needs to buy much more from other countries. Now, however, life is about to change greatly for many Greenlanders—and all because of the weather.
Most scientists agree that the world is getting warmer and you can already see the difference in Greenland. For example, small icebergs—about the size of city buses—are going to the coast. They have broken off from much larger areas of ice further out in the sea because of the change in temperature. Furthermore, the huge sheet of ice covering Greenland is getting smaller by about 75 cubic kilometres each year. If all of Greenland’s ice melted (融化), sea levels across the world would rise by 7.5 metres.
One industry taking advantage of the melting ice is the oil industry. Nowadays, the sea around the west coast of Greenland has no ice for six months of the year. Oil companies plan to drill for oil there in the next few years. Greenlanders have mixed (混合的) feelings about it. The country’s prime minister, Kuupik Kleist, describes the dilemma: “Greenlanders are the ones most exposed (受影响) to climate change, but we need a strong economy and we have to make good use of the chance that oil could bring us …”
Farming will also change. The growing season is longer with springs arriving earlier and summers ending later. On the one hand, if the country produced more of its own food, it wouldn’t need to buy so much from other countries. On the other hand, some farmers are worried that the drier summers might bring new problems.
For example, last year, it was so dry that farmers produced half the normal amount of food. Farming families usually celebrate the beginning of summer by singing a traditional song. The song is about the importance of summer in a place where, in the past, the winters were long and the summers were short. As nature and the weather changes in Greenland, they might not sing this song in a hundred years’ time. Summer, summer, how wonderful! How incredibly good!
The cold is gone,

【推荐3】Have you ever had an experience where you meet someone new, learn their name and think to yourself, “Wow, they really look just like their names!” What does this mean, exactly? Scientists are suggesting that humans perhaps are able to connect people’s names with their appearance, and can even guess someone’s name based on how they look.
Researchers at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem in Israel collected thousands of photos of people’s faces. They provided each photo with four names. Then, they asked volunteers to guess which of the four names was correct.
The volunteers were able to guess the right name 38 percent of the time. It seems that humans are able to know certain characteristics of faces that can give them useful information about someone’s name, Reader’s Digest reported.
However, this only works when we’re looking at names within our own culture. In addition, the volunteers were not as good at guessing the real names of people who use nicknames ( 昵 称 ) more often than their real names. This shows that a person’s appearance is influenced by their name only if they use it often.
This kind of face-name matching happens “because of a process of self-fulfilling prediction, as we become what other people expect us to become,” Ruth Mayo from the university told science news website Eurek Alert.
Some scientists studies have shown that gender and race (种族) stereotypes (刻板印象) can influence a person’s appearance. The researchers believe there are also similar stereotypes about names. For example, people are able to think that men named Bob should have rounder faces because the word itself looks round. People may think that women named Rose are beautiful. They expect them to be delicate (娇弱的) and to be what women are like, just like the flower they are named for.
1. From Paragraph 1, we can guess someone’s name based on their________ .| A．experience | B．appearance | C．characteristics | D．faces |
| A．the result of the research | B．the reason of face-name matching |
| C．the plan of the research | D．the history of face-name matching |
| A．have big eyes | B．wear glasses |
| C．look beautiful | D．have round faces |
| A．Earlier studies about stereotypes are not good. |
| B．Stereotypes about names can bring good results. |
| C．Stereotypes about names can influence people’s looks. |
| D．It’s always bad to be influenced by others’ expectations. |
| A．To learn how names influence personality. |
| B．To find out today’s most popular English names. |
| C．To find out whether names connect with their looks. |
| D．To show how men’s names are different from women’s. |
