House fires cause many deaths each year and a large number of these fires are unfortunately set by children.{#blank#}1{#/blank#}Kids must understand that they'd better not play with fire. You should keep matches and lighters out of their reach.

{#blank#}2{#/blank#} The main job of such an alarm is to protect you while you're asleep. You should have a smoke alarm outside each bedroom and on each floor of your home. You ought to have two plans for getting out of your house if there is a fire and practise these plans in the dark with your family.

A smoke alarm warns you of the danger. {#blank#}3{#/blank#}Take action immediately. When you come to a closed door, check it with the back of your hand. If it feels hot, there may be smoke or fire behind the door, so take care. Once you are out of your house, call the fire department from a neighbor's house. If a family member or a pet is caught inside, you shouldn't go back in. Firemen know how to perform rescues safely.

{#blank#}4{#/blank#} Change the batteries at least once a year. You should use the test button each month to see if the alarm and batteries are still working. A smoke alarm lasts about ten years. You ought to change it even if it seems to be working.

With the development of Chinese and Western cultures, more and more people go to different countries  for  exchanging  and  learning.  So  knowing  more  about the differences becomes so

necessary.

First, Western people express themselves directly, while Chinese act oppositely ( 相 反 地 ). Chinese are implicative (含蓄的) most of the time. When Chinese get angry or unsatisfied (不满的), most of them will say nothing. But if you are unsatisfied with a foreigner, you need to speak it out. Don't hide your feelings because he or she doesn't like it or can't understand your thoughts.

Second, the value about things is different between Chinese and Western people. Chinese seem to be more worried about tomorrow, while Western people like to spend tomorrow's money in advance. Western people believe that they should enjoy themselves at the moment and tomorrow is another day. So they enjoy everything they have now, having no clear plans for the future.

But remember, there is no judgement (评判) about which one is better.When    in    Rome,    do    asthe    Romans    do. We just need to know the differences and learn to understand each other. Every country's culture has its own special meaning. What we need to do is to respect (尊重) each other's

culture and gel along with each other peacefully.

The train No 5609/5610 in Southwest China, which runs between Chongqing and Xiushan, is a public-welfare (公益) "slow train". This slow train with its own creative study room {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (attract) much attention in the past two months. A huge number of people show their interest online in experiencing such {#blank#}2{#/blank#} special wonderful trip.

Some seats on the train have been replaced {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (careful) with desks and chairs close to windows for passengers in need. They can complete {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (they) homework on the train while travelling. The Chinese characters "Yu Yue" appear on the train, which means quite a lot, like reading and travelling happily. Together with other {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (meaning) words or sentences, it can remind people of school corridors (过道).

Also, other "slow trains" {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (change) into "study trains" in March, 2023, including No 5619/5620 and 5633/5634. Now the two trains both run {#blank#}7{#/blank#} the Chengdu-Kunming Railway and are mainly aimed at serving student groups. Students from nearby schools often take the train between school and home.

①On Sept 7, 2023. famous Chinese archaeologist (考古学家) Fan Jinshi, 85, was awarded by UNESCO(联合国教科文组织) for her protection of the Mogao Caves in Dunhuang.

②Called the "daughter of Dunhuang", her story with the caves started in 1963. At that time, Fan finished her studies in Peking University and had the chance to work at the Mogao Caves.

③"Seeing Dunhuang for the first time was very exciting. But only when truly staying here did I realize that inside the caves is a world of divine (神圣的) beauty while outside is a land of blowing sand and yellow earth," Fan told Gansu Daily.

④Back in those days, it wasn't easy to work in Dunhuang. Fan and her coworkers had to live in mud houses and drink salty water. They stayed inside the caves to do research, copy murals (壁画), and do whatever they could to protect them.

⑤As time passed, Fan found a serious problem. The increasing number of tourists visiting

Dunhuang might harm (伤害) the caves. A solution needed to be found.

⑥In the late 1980s, Fan discovered computer technology by chance. She realized that this might preserve the Mogao Caves forever. After over 30 years, the Dunhuang Academy built a digital database (电子数据库) to protect cultural relics there, allowing Dunhuang's art to live forever and people to visit the Mogao Caves online.

⑦"In my whole life, I've only done one thing: protect the world cultural treasure of the Mogao Caves,"she told People's Daily. "My heart belongs to Dunhuang."

Last week, Alice made a survey about supermarkets, movie theaters and schools in her city. Here are the results.

……

Very cold weather and lots of snow caused problems in many parts of Britain this spring. The snow made it hard to travel on roads and more than one hundred schools had to close. Even as far south as in Bristol，planes couldn't fly because of the snow. Some people say that spring starts in March，but it is still snowy. 

At Christmas time，many people want to see snow. There are often pictures of snow on cards and calendars （日历）. But do you know that you are more likely to see snow at Easter （复活节），4. 2 days in March，and 2. 3 days in April. But when Easter is early

The cold and snow are common in the UK. Even in spring，it is important to be ready for different spring in the UK.
