People know the dangers of fires. It’s good for a family to learn how to prepare for a fire. Here are some suggestions:
1.. 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.
2.. 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.
3.. They do fire practice because they teach children about fire safety. Everyone in the family should know the following fire rules:
4.. 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.
5.. 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.
A wise family is ready all the time. If there is a fire, don’t forget to call 119 for help.
Parents should stop blaming(责备） themselves because there’s not a lot they can do about it. I mean the teenager problem. Whatever you do or however you choose to deal with it, at certain times a wonderful, reasonable and helpful child will turn into a terrible animal.
I’ve seen friends deal with it in all kinds of different ways. One strict mother insisted that her son, right from a child, should stand up whenever anyone entered the room, open doors and shake hands like a gentleman. I saw him last week when I called round. Sprawling(懒散地躺) himself on the sofa in full length, he made no attempt to turn off the loud TV he was watching as I walked in, and his greeting was no more than a quick glance at me. His mother was ashamed. “I don't know what to do with him these days,” she said. “He’s forgotten all the manners we taught him.”
He hasn’t forgotten them. He’s just decided that he’s not going to use them. She said that she would like to come up behind him and throw him down from the sofa onto the floor.
Another good friend of mine let her two daughters climb all over the furniture, reach across the table, stare at me and say, “I don’t like your dress. It’s ugly.” One of the daughters has recently been driven out of school. The other has left home.
“Where did we go wrong?” her parents are now very sad. Probably nowhere much. At least, no more than the rest of that unfortunate race, parents.

Different weather makes people feel different. It influences health, intelligence(智力) and feelings.
In August, it is very hot and wet in the southern part of the United States. People there have heart trouble and other kinds of health problems during this month. In the Northeast and the Middle West, it is very hot at some times and very cold at other times. People in these states have more heart trouble after the weather changes in February or March.
The weather can also influence intelligence. For example, in a 1983 report by scientists, IQ of a group of students was very high when a very strong wind came, but after the strong wind, their IQ was 10% lower. The wind can help people have more intelligence. Very hot weather, on the other hand, can make it lower. Students in many schools of the United States often get worse on exams in the hot months of the year (July and August).
Weather also has a strong influence on people’s feelings. Winter may be a bad time for thin people. They usually feel cold during these months. They might feel unhappy during cold weather. But fat people may have a hard time in hot summer. At about 18℃, people become stronger.
Low air pressure(气压) may make people forgetful. People leave more bags on buses and in shops on low-pressure days. People feel best at a temperature of about 18℃.
Are you feeling sad, tired, forgetful, or unhappy today? It may be the weather’s problem.

C. IQ changes when weather changes
D. people feel good on low pressure days
5.Which is the best title(标题) for this passage？

任务型阅读
Writing a thank-you letter can be a great way to express thanks for a favor (帮助；恩惠) someone did for you. Consider (考虑) the following steps when writing your letter, which will help make your thank-you letter more meaningful and sincere(真诚的).
Before you start, buy some special stationery, such as nice paper or easy cards. The stationery doesn’t have to be expensive, since even one-dollar card can be very nice. And you must decide whether you prefer to type your letter or (是..还是...) write it by yourself. Handwriting has a more personal feeling, while a printed（打印的） thank-you letter looks more professional (专业的).
Now, you can start writing. You should express your purpose from the beginning. Start your letter by thanking the person for the gift or service he or she provided. Then you should explain how you plan to use the gift or service, or explain how the gift or service has already been used. What’s more, you can also express your feelings on the gift or service by saying that “It was a wonderful birthday present…” It also helps to mention a personal feeling such as “I was just so happy with the party.” In the end, you should mention that you want to see or talk to the person again soon. For close relatives and friends, you can also tell them how much you miss them and express regret(遗憾) that their visit was short.
Sign your thank-you letter personally and with a heart. Try “Love”, “Yours truly”, or “Take care” instead (代替) of “Sincerely” as it is more for business.
In this way, you will always maintain (维持) a pleasant relationship(关系) with your friends and relatives.
Title: How to Write a 1. Letter
Purpose | To write a 2. and sincere letter to show your thanks. |
Suggestions (建议)
| Before 3. ： Buy some stationery that is nice and 4. . Decide whether to type the letter or to write it 5. . |

Signature： “Sincerely” is not proper because it is usually used in 9. letters. | |
Result | Your relationship with others will stay 10. . |
