Imagine the situation．You are driving along a desert or on a mountain．You have no idea where you are．You passed the last house two hours ago．Then your car breaks down．It is night and it is cold．You have no mobile phone．What do you do? Well, next time take a GPS with you．This invention may be able to help you．It is a device which uses satellites to find the user’s position．It can find your position to within 20 metres．A GPS cannot start your car, but at least you will know where you are．
GPS, which means Global Positioning System, is a small radio receiver．It looks like a mobile phone．You can hold it in your hand, or put in your pocket．It is sometimes put into a watch or a telephone．We also find GPS devices in cars, planes, or boats．Some of these devices have electronic maps, so you know where you are．For example, in a city they can tell you the name of the street.
There are three parts to the Global Positioning System．The first part is the receiver．You can hold it in your hand, or have it fixed into your car, plane, etc．The second part is a group of satellites orbiting the Earth．The receiver contacts at least four of the satellites and calculates （计算） its position．The third part of the system is a network of ground stations．They are all over the world．They control the satellites and make sure they are working well.
Some people think that in the future the GPS will be as common as the mobile．They are becoming cheaper and more and more accurate （精确的）．There are also new uses for the GPS．Perhaps they will become like watches. Everyone will have one and you will never be lost again.

What are you going to do if you are in a burning house? How will you escape? Do you know how to save yourself? Please read the following passage.
Escaping a fire is a serious matter．Knowing what to do during a fire can save yourself．It is important to know the ways you can use and to show them to everyone in the family, such as stairways （楼梯） and fire escapes, but not lifts．
From the lower floors of the building, escaping through windows is possible, learn the best way of leaving through windows with the least chance of serious injury （伤害）.
The second floor windows are usually not very high from the ground．An average （普通的） 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 have leaked （渗入） into the room.
