Fire can help people in many ways. But it can be very dangerous. Fire can heat water, warm houses, give light and cook. But fire can burn things, too. It can burn trees, houses, animals or people. Sometimes big fires can burn forests.
Nobody knows for sure how people began to use fire. But there are many interesting stories about the first time a man or a woman started a fire. One story from Australia tells about a man very, very long time ago. He went up to the sun by a rope (绳子) and brought fire down.
Today people know how to make a fire with matches (火柴). Children sometimes like to play with them. But matches can be very dangerous. One match can burn a piece of paper, and then it might burn a house. A small fire can become a big fire very fast. Fire kills many people every year. So you must be careful with matches. You should also learn to put out fires. Fires need oxygen (氧气). Without oxygen they will die. Cover a fire with water, sand or sometimes with your coat. This keeps the air away from a fire and kills it. Be careful with fire, and it will help you. Be careless with fire, or it will burn you.
【主旨大意】本文讲了火的好处和坏处。火可以在很多方面帮助人们，但它也可能非常危险，因此，我们应该学会如何灭火。

The Resolution Made Me Better
I've made many resolutions in the past three years.There's no doubt that if I never give up, the resolutions can make me better.
One of my most unforgettable resolutions was in my Grade 8.In my final examination, I received a terrible score.I was so afraid of facing my parents.It reminded me that I used to play with my phone while doing my homework.It made me feel shame.When parents talked with me in the evening, I made a silent resolution.I decided to hand the phone over to mom.At the beginning, it was hard to control myself.Gradually, I got used to doing my homework without the phone.
Now, I fall in love with basketball instead.When I finish studying, I like to play it with my friends.I got to know, as long as I stick to my resolution, everything is possible.

Now, I fall in love with basketball instead.When I finish studying, I like to play it with my friends.I got to know, as long as I stick to my resolution, everything is possible.
