When a person is hurt or suddenly(突然)becomes ill, people give him immediate(立即的)care. We call it first aid.
Everyone should know something about how to care for a person with a sudden illness. Even a small injury(损伤)can be very dangerous.
When first aiders face a sudden situation, they must be able to keep calm(镇静的)and organize other people to help. He or she must know how to control blood and take care of injuries.

The Importance of First Aid
First aid is the immediate care given to a person who has been injured or suddenly ill, including self-help and home care if medical help is not available or delayed. First aid knowledge means life or death during an emergency situation, so it is very important for everyone to learn first aid.
General Treatment to Burns
●Move the injured away from the heat.
●Check the breathing as well as the size and depth of burns.
●Wash the burnt area with water to reduce pain.
●Cover the wound with a sterilized (消毒的) dressing.
●For burns on the face, use sheet or something else to cover the burnt area.
Heatstroke
To avoid heatstroke, you should stop tiring activities in hot weather. If you still go outdoors, you should:
●wear light loose-fitting(宽松的)clothing;
●rest in a cool place as often as possible;
●drink boiled water or fruit juice;
●avoid drink such as milk, wine and beer.
First Aid training
Some people go through specific training in order to provide first aid in public or at home, or other places where people get together. People performing a first aid role are often expected to have a high level of first aid training and are often uniformed. There are some organizations giving first aid courses recognized by the local government, such as the Red Cross.

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 (楼梯) and fire escapes, but not lifts.
From the lower floors of the buildings, escaping through windows is possible. Learn the best way of leaving by windows with the least chance of serious injury(受伤).
The second floor window is usually not very high from the ground. 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 a 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 hard ground might end in injury. Bushes (灌木丛) and grass can help to break a fall(使势头减弱).

8 . We all know the dangers of fires. It's good and necessary for a family to learn how to prepare for a fire. Here are some suggestions.
Put a smoke alarm(火警)in the house. Smoke from a fire causes the alarm to go off. The alarm makes a loud sound. The sound tells everyone to leave the house at once.
Make escape(逃脱)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.
Buy fire extinguishers(灭火器)in the house. Everyone in the family should know how to use them.
Practice for a fire. We do fire practice because we teach children about fire safety. Everyone in the family 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(毯子)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.

From the lower floors of the buildings, escaping through windows is possible, learn the best way of leaving by windows with the least chance of serious injury.
The second floor window is usually not very high from the ground. An average person, hanging by the finger-tips 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 leaked(渗) into the room.

The trouble started when Mrs. Cady lost control of her car on a mountain road. The car fell down thirty feet from the road into the water. It rolled(滚动) over once and landed right side up in the rushing water. All three people, Mrs. Cady, and her two daughters, were wearing their seatbelts. Luckily, nobody was hurt; however, they couldn’t leave the car.
The rescue(救援) started almost at once. Another driver told the police about the trouble. The police called rescue workers and a truck to pull the car out. The driver of the truck, Paul, arrived first. Immediatedly (立刻) he took a rope from his truck and began to walk through the rushing water to the car. Then he got caught in the ropes. He went under the water. Mrs. Cady saw him and pulled as hard as she could and brought him to the car door.
Next the other rescue workers arrived. They put on special suits to keep warm. They brought safety ropes, life jackets, and warm blankets(毯子). First they pulled the people out of the back window onto the top of the car. Then they swam with each person to the shore(岸). They saved Paul, Mrs. Cady, and the little girls.
