Home fires can happen quickly, destroying lives and property, but unlike other disasters, most home fires can be prevented. Read on to learn 4 unexpected home fire dangers.
Having old smoke alarms
An effective smoke alarm can make much difference when it comes to surviving a house fire. It's not enough to change the batteries twice a year, you also need to replace your alarms every decade. “You should test your smoke alarms every month，” says Lorraine Carli, vice president of the National Fire Protection Association. “But also don't forget to check the dates and replace an alarm that is more than 10 years old.”
Leaving the kitchen while you cook
One in five Americans admitted leaving food cooking unattended on the stove, found an American Red Cross survey. Walking away from food cooking in the kitchen is a serious fire risk. “The leading cause of home fires is cooking and the leading cause of those fires is unattended cooking，” says Carli. “If you need to use the stove or oven, be sure to keep an eye on it.”
Turning the heat too high when you cook
Turning up the heat too high can be deadly, even if you're in the kitchen while you cook. Kevin Kelley, senior director of the American Red Cross, recommends paying close attention and turning off the burner if you see smoke or grease(油脂) starting to boil while frying food.
Having a dirty stove while you cook
If your stove is covered with grease, a small kitchen fire can get out of hand quickly. Clean and clear the area around the stove before turning on the heat, or the result will be dangerous.
1. How long should you have a new smoke alarm?
A. 2 years.　　　　　　 B. 10 years.
C. 12 years. D. 8 years.
2. What is the leading cause of fires from kitchen?
A. Clearing a dirty stove. B. Turning off the burner.
C. Replacing an alarm. D. Unattended cooking.
3. Which of the following is NOT true?
A. Unexpected home fire dangers can be prevented.
B. It is advisable to change the batteries twice a year.
C. Kevin Kelley suggests paying close attention to fried food.
D. Having a dirty stove is dangerous while you cook.

My First Marathon(马拉松)
A month before my first marathon, one of my ankles was injured and this meant not running for two weeks, leaving me only two weeks to train. Yet, I was determined to go ahead.
I remember back to my 7th year in school. In my first P．E. class, the teacher required us to run laps(圈) and then hit a softball. I didn't do either well. He later informed me that I was “not athletic”．
The idea that I was “not athletic” stuck with me for years. When I started running in my 30s, I realized running was a battle against myself, not about competition or whether or not I was athletic. It was all about the battle against my own body and mind. A test of wills!
The night before my marathon, I dreamt that I couldn't even find the finish line. I woke up sweating and nervous, but ready to prove something to myself.
Shortly after crossing the start line, my shoe laces(鞋带) became untied. So I stopped to readjust. Not the start I wanted!
At mile 3, I passed a sign：“GO FOR IT, RUNNERS！”
By mile 17, I became out of breath and the once injured ankle hurt badly. Despite the pain, I stayed the course walking a bit and then running again.
By mile 21, I was starving!
As I approached mile 23, I could see my wife waving a sign. She is my biggest fan. She never minded the alarm clock sounding at 4 a．m. or questioned my expenses on running.
I was one of the final runners to finish. But I finished! And I got a medal. In fact, I got the same medal as the one that the guy who came in first place had.
Determined to be myself, move forward, free of shame and worldly labels(世俗标签), I can now call myself a “marathon winner”．
4. A month before the marathon, the author ________．
A. was well trained B. felt scared
C. made up his mind to run D. lost hope
5. Why did the author mention the P．E. class in his 7th year?
A. To acknowledge the support of his teacher.
B. To amuse the readers with a funny story.
C. To show he was not talented in sports.
D. To share a precious memory.
6. How was the author's first marathon?
A. He made it. B. He quit halfway.
C. He got the first prize. D. He walked to the end.
7. What does the story mainly tell us?
A. A man owes his success to his family support.
B. A winner is one with a great effort of will.
C. Failure is the mother of success.
D. One is never too old to learn.
C
Bumblebees(大黄蜂) are clever: when pollen(花粉) is short and plants near the nest are not yet flowering, they have learned to force them to bloom. Research published on Thursday in Science shows that the insects puncture the plants' leaves, which causes them to flower about 30 days earlier than they otherwise would. How the technique developed and why the plants react by blooming remain unclear.
Consuelo De Moraes, a chemical ecologist at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, says she and her teammates were observing one kind of bumblebee in an unrelated experiment when they noticed the insects were damaging plant leaves and wondered why. “At first we thought they might be feeding on the plants，” she says. And because previous research had shown stress could cause plants to flower, they also wondered whether the bees might be creating blooms on purpose.
To find out, the team placed bumblebees together with tomato plants in cages. The bees soon cut several holes in the leaves of each plant. As a test, the researchers tried to copy the bumblebee damage in additional plants with a knife. Both sets of plants with injured leaves bloomed faster, but the ones punctured by the bees flowered weeks earlier, suggesting that chemicals in the insects' saliva(唾液) may be involved as well.
Next, the researchers moved out of the laboratory to see whether bumblebees would continue to damage nonflowering plants near their nest even if blooming plants were available farther away. They did so. The findings suggest the bees' behavior is an adaptation that improves food?hunting efficiency.
In the future, scientists could test how the behavior may have developed and how widespread it is among other wild bumblebees, as well as what is happening in plants after a bee bite. Understanding those questions could help us better face the climate change.
8. What does the underlined word “puncture” in Paragraph 1 probably mean?
A. Bite.　　　　　　 B. Touch. C. Kiss. D. Eat.
9. What inspired Consuelo and her team to do the present research?
A. The stress causing plants to flower.
B. The difference in plants' flowering time.
C. The bumblebees' feeding on the plants.
D. The bumblebees' damaging plants' leaves.
10. Why did the researchers copy what the bumblebees did?
A. To prove a knife cut can work as a bee bite.
B. To figure out what helps plants flower faster.
C. To find out why bumblebees damage plants.
D. To show bumblebees' saliva helps plants bloom.
11. What have the researchers made clear?
A. What happens in plants after a bee bite.
B. How bumblebees have learned the technique.
C. Whether bumblebees are clever in finding food.
D. Whether all the bumblebees have learned the skill.
D
The worst outbreak of desert locusts(蝗虫) in decades is presently underway in the Horn of Africa. It is the biggest of its kind in 25 years for Ethiopia and Somalia—and the worst Kenya has seen for 70 years.
What we are seeing in East Africa today is unlike anything we've seen in a very long time. Its destructive potential is enormous, and it's taking place in a region where farmers need every gram of food to feed themselves and their families. Most of the countries' hardest hits are those where millions of people are already vulnerable(脆弱的) or in serious humanitarian need, as they endure the impact of violence, drought, and floods.
We have acted quickly to respond to this outbreak. The primary method of battling locusts is the aerial spraying of pesticides(杀虫剂). FAO's “Locust Watch” service explains that “although giant nets, flamethrowers, lasers, and huge vacuums have been proposed in the past, these are not in use for locust control. People and birds often eat locusts but usually not enough to significantly reduce population levels over large areas.”
The UN's Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs has released $10 million from its Central Emergency Relief Fund to fund a huge scale?up in aerial operations to manage the outbreak.
But the window to contain this crisis is closing fast. We only have until the beginning of March to bring this infestation under control as that is when the rain and planting season begins. If left unchecked—and with expected additional rains—locust numbers in East Africa could increase 500 times by June.
We must act now to avoid a full?blown catastrophe. And we will. At the same time, we need to pay attention to a bigger picture. This is not the first time the Greater Horn of Africa has seen locust outbreak approach this scale, but the current situation is the worst in decades. This is linked to climate change. Warmer seas mean more tropical storms, generating the perfect breeding conditions for locusts.
12. What is implied in Paragraph 2?
A. People in East Africa are suffering drought.
B. People in East Africa are going through floods.
C. The locust outbreak will cause crop failure.
D. The locust outbreak is worsening locals' life.
13. What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A. We need a bigger picture to study the disaster.
B. It is the second outbreak of locusts in East Africa.
C. It is the largest outbreak of locusts ever in history.
D. The outbreak of locusts is fueled by global warming.
14. What is the purpose of the text?
A. To analyse and compare. B. To inform and call for.
C. To argue and discuss. D. To introduce and assess.
15. Where does the text probably come from?
A. A guidebook. B. A health magazine. C. A news report. D. A chemistry paper.

Protection of Wild Animals
At present, as a consequence of human activities, many wild animals are endangered. Worse still, some of them may disappear forever.
There is no doubt that hunting wild animals has a bad influence. For one thing, it causes the imbalance of our ecosystem. For another, it leads to the spread of infectious diseases from animals to us human beings, such as SARS and novel coronavirus.
As far as I am concerned, something must be done to stop this illegal act. Nature reserves ought to be built so as to offer more living space to wildlife. What's more, we should never have wild animals for food, as they are part of the environment.
