Step 2. Let’s do reading comprehension. (阅读理解) （一）Fire Safety 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 your life. It is important to know the ways you can use and show them to everyone in the family, such as stairways and fire escapes, but not lifts. From the lower floors of the buildings, escaping through windows is possible, learn the best way of leaving by windows with the least chance of serious injury. The second floor window is usually not very high

from the ground. An average（平均高度的）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 leaked（渗）into the room. On a second or third floor, the best windows for escape are those that open onto a roof. From the roof a person can drop to the ground more safely. Dropping onto cement（水泥）might end in injury. Bushes（灌木丛）and grass can help to break a fall.

The new rules also say that school buses must never be overloaded (超载). There are many other rules as well. A school bus must have more than seven seats.

Step 3. Let’s read and write. (读写综合) Food Safety Last Tuesday, a little girl died after eating some fried chicken. Her father bought the chicken for her from a street seller in Fenzhuang Village, Fengtai, Beijing. After testing the girl, the doctor said she was poisoned（中毒）by nitrites（亚硝酸盐）. Some experts suggest that we should buy foods with QS signs. They are safer. After hearing about the accident, many people feel more worried about the food safety because there have been many food safety problems in our country these years. For example, poisonous（有毒的）rice, oil, milk and so on have been found out recently. People feel quite afraid because these poisonous foods are rather bad for their health and even kill them. They want the government to do something to stop such poisonous foods and drinks appearing again so that they can have safe and healthy foods and drinks.

B．书面表达： 为了进一步增强中学生的安全意识，提高自我保护能力，某校开展了以“安全”为主题的英语演讲比赛。请你根据以下要点提示写一篇演讲稿。 注意：内容必须包括所给的全部要点，可适当发挥。

As teenagers, we should always keep safety in mind As teenagers, we should always keep safety in mind. But how can we keep safe? Here are some of my suggestions. First, we should be careful when we make friends, especially on line. Second, if we are in danger, we must call the police for help in time so that we can keep ourselves safe. Third, we should eat healthily and safely. Eating food that goes bad will do harm to our health. Last but not least, summer is coming, and we must remember it’s dangerous to swim in the river. In short, safety must come first!
