People know the dangers of fires. It’s good for a family to learn how to prepare for a fire. Here are some suggestions:
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 everyone to leave the house at once.
Make escape plans. They 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. They do fire practice because they they 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.

Some children think writers are great and they can tell people a lot. So they also wish to be writers some day. They mean that they want to write stories or books which many persons will read. I would like to remind[1] them that they will need to be good readers and to read a lot in order to[2] be good writers.
Nearly all great writers read too long before they started to school, and read for hours and hours every day since they became good readers. Instead of watching TV in the evening, they spend much of their spare[3] time reading books.
If you are a good reader, it won’t take you long to do the reading homework your teacher asks you to do. Then you will have time to read other books for fun. Because you read so well, you keep looking for more books to read.
While making up your mind[4] to become a good writer, you had better say to yourself,“I must read more and more if I am really to become a good writer."

The Speed of Light
Light travels at a speed which is about a million times faster than the speed of sound.
In one second, light travels about 300,000 kilometres.
But sound travels only 0.344 kilometres .You can get some idea of this difference by watching the start of a race. If you
Stand some distance(距离) away from the starter, you can see smoke come from his gun
(枪) before the sound reaches your ears.
This great speed of light produces some strange facts. Sunlight takes about 8 minutes to
reach us. If you look at the light of the moon tonight, remember that the light left the moon 1.3 second before they reached you. The nearest star is far away from the earth. The light which you can see from it tonight started to travel towards you four years ago at a speed of nearly 2 million kilometers one minute. In some cases(情况) the light from one of tonight’s starts started on its journey to you before you were born.
If we want to be honest(诚实), we can not say “The stars are shining tonight.” We have to say, “The stars look pretty(漂亮). They were shining four years ago. But their light has only just reached the earth.. ”
判断正误:
( )1.Light speed is about a million times faster than sound speed.
( )2.If you stand 100 metres away from a starter, you can hear the gun before you see the smoke.
( )3. The moon must be about two million kilometers away from the earth.
( )4. The sun must be about 480 times300,000 kilometres away from the earth..
( )5. The moonlight we see tonight started to travel towards us four years ago.

The Day, the night and the Stars
Have you ever seen the day begin? The dark sky starts to look brighter. Then suddenly the sky is all pink(淡红色的) and red and gold(金色的) even a little green.
The earth has turned until the sun is shining on the place where you are. This is what makes it day.
The sun is always shining. But it can only shine on one side of the earth at a time. It can’t light the side that is turned away from it. When the sun is shining on the other side of the world, it is night where you are. At night, you can see the stars.
All day the stars are in the sky, but the light from the sun is so bright that you can’t see them. When the sun is gone, the stars are bright enough to see. Stars look as tiny(微小的) as pinheads(针头),but some are even bigger than the sun. Big things look little when they are far away. In the sky, planes look like toys(玩具), but on the ground you can see that they are big. Stars are millions of times bigger than planes. They look very small because they are so far away. The sun is closer than the other stars. So it looks bigger.
