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 (逃脱) plan. 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 teach children about fire safety. Ever yone 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 the 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.

Have you ever been to the beautiful country of Holland and its capital Amsterdam? Anyone who has traveled to Amsterdam would probably agree on one thing: Amsterdam"s story is a tale of two cities-one during the day and a completely different one at night. During the day, the largest city in the Netherlands sits quietly on the Amstel River. You can rent a bicycle, visit the Van Gogh or Anne Frank museum, or take a water taxi. But when the sun goes down, the partying begins. In the big clubs and in coffee shops, tourists gather to hang out, talk politics and smoke. Several areas of the city clearly show the two worlds that rule Amsterdam. And they"re all within a short cab ride of each other. For example, Dam Square attracts daytime sightseers to its festivals, open markets, concerts and other events. Several beautiful and very popular hotels can be found there. And there"s the Royal Palace and the Magna Plaza shopping mall. But at night party-seekers come to the square. Hip hop or funk music is heard there. So if you come, be ready to dance. The clubs don"t shut down until 4 am. And while you"re there, check out the various inexpensive ways to tour the city. Don"t worry about getting lost. Although Dutch is the official language, most people in Amsterdam speak English and are happy to help you with directions. And you"ll notice that half the people in the streets are on bicycles they rent. Amsterdam also has a well-planned canal system. For about 10 dollars, you can use the canal bus or a water taxi to cruise (巡游) the "Venice of the North". The city has a historic past. One impressive place to visit is the Anne Frank House on Nine Streets. It was there that the young Jewish girl wrote her famous diary during World War II. Visitors can view Anne"s original diary and climb behind the bookcase to the room where she and her family hid from the Nazis for two years. |

2. When getting lost, a visitor can ask natives for directions in _______. |
A. only Dutch B. Dutch or English C. only English D. Spanish and English |
3. What can you learn about by visiting the Anne Frank House? |
A. The experience of a beautiful girl survivor. B. The glorious past of Amsterdam. C. The life of Jewish during World War Ⅱ. D. The suffering of the Dutch in wars. |
4. The passage is intended to _______. |
A. call up people"s memories of World War Ⅱ B. tell readers what A Tale of Two Cities is about C. instruct visitors what to do and see in Holland D. offer readers some information about Amsterdam |

Members of the working class have blue-collar jobs. They are construction workers, truck drivers, mechanics, steel workers, electricians, and the like. What makes this class differ from the lower class is, first, longer periods of employment-and therefore, more fixed incomes -and, second, employment in skilled or semiskilled (半熟练的 ) occupations, not unskilled ones. Although unemployment hits all levels of the American economy, including those of skilled and semi-skilled workers, it is most common at the bottom of the class structure and increasingly less common at each level upward. They consider themselves to be respectable and hard working and they look down upon members of the"lower" class, whom they often consider to be lazy, dis-honest, and too ready to exploit public assistance. Most people in the working class have at least high school education. Many have some experi-ence of college ( especially community college), though few are college graduates. Unionization has helped the working class, but a rapidly changing economy and frequent periods of high unem-ployment make it difficult for most of its members to be able to increase their savings great-ly. Purchasing a house for people in this class is extremely difficult, although a certain percentage may receive houses from their parents. (Home-owning rises with social class. ) A greater number of the members of the working class take relatively little satisfaction in their jobs, because much of their work is ordinary and boring. As a result, many seek their main satis-faction in recreational ( 娱乐的) activities. Many members of this class would like to earn enough money to leave their jobs and start their own businesses, though few make it. Many place their expectations on their children, hoping that they at least will rise in the ladder of success, American style. |
1. Which of the following is true about the working class.? |
A. They are often employed as skilled and semi-skilled workers. B. They are often offered jobs with high incomes. C. They are often considered lazy and dishonest. D. They are often exploited by the public. |
2. The underlined word "hit" (paragraph 1 ) roughly means _____. |
A. strike with a blow B. have bad effects on C. break up |
3. Most people in the working class _____. |
A. have difficulty increasing their savings greatly B. have at least some experience of college C. receive houses from their parents D. buy houses by themselves |
4. Many members from the working class are not satisfied with their jobs because _____. |
A. they could not rise in the ladder of success B. they are not interested in their jobs C. they could not earn much money D. they are not their own bosses |

Every January, Breckenridge hosts the International Snow Sculpture Championships. Fourteen teams travel from all over the world to Switzerland to compete. Teams sculpt for sixty-five hours over five days. Each team hopes that when the time is up, its sculpture will be judged the best. As the championship begins, the fourteen teams are faced with huge blocks of snow that weigh twenty tons each. The sculptors bring out their favorite tools that work best on the hard iced snow, but they are not allowed to employ tools that use electricity. Most teams are inspired by what they have seen in daily life. For example, one team carved a teapot with tea pouring out. Another team sculpted a little cat on its hind feet (后脚) reaching into a fish bowl complete with water ripples (涟漪) and a crab (螃蟹) trying to attack the cat. In 2006, Team USA sculpted a golden dog looking at its image reflected in a mirror. To create the effect that the little dog saw its reflection in the glass, the artists carved two dogs facing each other with their paws (脚爪) touching. As the final hours of the competition tick by, exhausted team members add last-minute detail. They use small brooms to brush off snow caught in tiny holes. One team member counts down the last five minutes while others are busy cleaning up the tools. If they leave any tools behind, they will be out. When the whistle bows, everyone must step away from the sculpture. The judges then vote on creativity, technical skills, and visual impact (视觉效果)of the designs. In 200, Team USA took first place for their golden dog sculpture titled"Discovery". But the competition is not just about medals and ribbons. "It"s not about the prize," said Rob Neyland, Team USA"s captain."It"s about touching the audience." Every year, as the championship ends, each team is already dreaming of the next masterpiece it will design. |

The best thing you can say about the roofs of most city buildings is that you don"t have to look at them. That"s very good, since an urban landscape viewed from above can be an unlovely thing-block after block of tarred (铺有沥青的) black rooftops, sticky in summer, ugly year-round. Or at least that"s the way it used to be. But urban roofs are going green. Environmental designers have begun to realize that the tops of buildings don"t have to be wastelands. Indeed, they can be gardens, planted with grasses, flowers and bushes. A planted roof usually comes in one of two varieties: extensive or intensive. The extensive type is wide and shallow, with a soil depth of less than 8 inches, able to support smaller plants. The intensive type may be smaller, but it"s relatively deeper and home to larger plants. Whatever the design, green roofs are not so simple as ordinary gardens. The have multiple layers beneath the soil, including a drainage layer, waterproofing, structural support, and so on. But this system can do a great deal of good. A recent paper in the journal Bio Science tells that green roofs can control temperature, contain water and clean the air. And most impressively, they can cut heat loss from a building by 50%, lower air-conditioning costs by 25%, and reduce the urban-heated-island effect by 2℃. Of course, apart from the square feet greened and heat reduced, green roofs are even more valued since people can gain some psychological comfort simply by having a quiet place to go. as so often happens, what"s good for the planet can also be good for the spirit.

Critics say Microsoft Windows 95 must be able to do what the company has said or sales will fall sharply. This could mean the public would reject future Microsoft products. The public would lose trust in the company. Some people say this will not happen.
