A good book can be satisfying, can improve your knowledge and can teach you a lot. There are several ways to develop a lifetime reading habit.

    Set times. You should have a few set times every day when you'll read for at least 5—10 minutes, no matter what happens. For example, make it a habit to read during breakfast and lunch (and even dinner if you eat alone).

    Always carry a book. No matter where you go, take a book with you. When you leave the house, make sure to have at least one book. You may keep the book in the car, or into the office or to anywhere you go, unless you' re sure you won't have time to read.

    Make a list. Keep a list of all the great books you want to read. You can keep this in a pocket notebook. Be sure to add to it whenever you hear about a good book. Keep a running list, and cross out the ones you have read.

    Find a quiet place. Find a place in your home where you can sit in a comfortable chair without television or computer near the chair. There should be no music or noisy family members.

    Set a high aim. For example. Tell yourself that you want to read 50 books this year. Your best to finish reading them. Just be sure you're still enjoying the reading.

    Fire is useful and important to us. You use it to cook meals every day. But if you are not careful, the fire may take place anytime. Many people get hurt or die in fires. So knowing how to①/prə'tekt/          yourself in the fire is very important.

    When the fire happens, the first thing you must do is to find safe routes(路线) to get away quickly. ②If you are in the taller floors of the building, you can't use the lift. You should run out along the stairs. From the lower floors of the building, you can jump out through the window if it is ③/'nesəsəri/         .

    If you can't get out of the room, you must be careful of the smoke. ④事实上，大部分人在火灾中都死于浓烟。Find something wet to cover your nose and mouth. Keep low to the ground, and you will take in(吸入) less smoke. And you can also open the window, keep your head outside to get fresh air and shout for help.

    Remember: Nothing is more important than your life. You must leave everything behind, your money, your pets and so on. After you're out, don't go back for anything. ⑤        .

Once upon a time, there was no tea at all in England. People there used {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (drink) a light beer (啤酒). No coffee or milk but large glasses of beer {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (stand) on the breakfast table!

When tea was {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (one) brought to England, an old couple got some as a special treat. {#blank#}4{#/blank#}they did not know how it should be used. They cooked the{#blank#}5{#/blank#}  (leaf) in hot water, and spread them on a piece of bacon (熏肉) which they were going to have for dinner. They ate the leaves, and threw the tea away! However, tea is becoming{#blank#}6{#/blank#} popular as coffee and milk in England today.

Tea is the leaf of a plant which grows {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (wide) in China, Japan and some other countries. Tea farmers usually grow a great many tea plants on a large piece of land. When the tea leaves {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (pick), it is the busiest time for tea farmers in a year. They pull off the leaves and dry {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (they). In their spare time, they pick out the {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (good) leaves and get them ready for market. In China, whenever a visitor comes into a house, he is served with a cup of tea.

Both Mr and Mrs Liu are teachers at a high school in Hangzhou. They are always so 1  that they almost have no chance to travel. National Day is coming. They  2  to take their children to Beijing. But3 ? By car, by high- speed (高速的) train or by plane?

"We can drive there. It is the 4  because highways are toll- free (免付费的) during National Day holidays, "Mr Liu says. "But Beijing is 5 Hangzhou. A long drive will make you very 6 ," Mrs Liu disagrees. "And there is always too much traffic on the road."

7  daughter Liu Fang says, "How about taking a high- speed train? I looked for some information online last night. We can 8  take a taxi to Hangzhou East Railway Station, and then take a train to Beijing South Railway Station. The lowest price of a ticket 9  about 560 yuan. If you all think it is OK, I can 10  the tickets on my phone now."

"Sounds 11  a nice choice, my girl! I think maybe Liu Wei wants to say something. Let's 12  him," Mr Liu says. 

Liu Wei is Liu Fang's brother and he is five years younger than her. "I have no  13 which is the best way to Beijing. I just hope to 14  Beijing Daxing Airport. I saw it on TV. It is really beautiful and large," Liu Wei says. 

"I also want to visit the airport,15  it is the most expensive," his sister says. 

Finally, they decide to take a plane to Beijing.
