Everyone needs to know how to prevent a fire. It is also important to know what to do when it {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (break)out.

    Every year, over 11，000 people {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (kill)or injured in house fires. These fires could have been avoided. Smokers who are {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (care)cause about 200 deaths and over 6,000 fires. More than of those {#blank#}4{#/blank#}  die in fires are poisoned or harmed by smoke.

    If fire happens, do not attempt to fight the fire unless it is small. Try putting out a small fire with water. If {#blank#}5{#/blank#} fire has spread or if the flames are more than 20 inches high, shut the door on it. Warn everyone else in the building and tell them to get out. You should leave and dial 911 for the fire department.

    Before {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (go)into a room，check the door. If the handle or the door is hot, do not open it! Instead, put clothing or a wet towel at the bottom of it to keep smoke out. If the door is not hot, open it  {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (slow)．If there is a rush of smoke heat, close it again and shout to warn {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (other)inside.

    Now open the window and shout “Fire!”. See whether you can drop safely to the ground. Use this {#blank#}9{#/blank#} your escape course if you can. If you are not on ground level, break your fall by pushing a mat out first. Lower yourself at arm's {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (long) before dropping. Once outside, stay out outside and make sure the fire department is called.

    Dear Sir or Madam,

    I've learned that an art exhibition is {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(hold) and that you're collecting suggestions on its location. I'm writing this letter to share{#blank#}2{#/blank#} you my opinions.

    In my opinion,{#blank#}3{#/blank#} is more advisable to hold the art exhibition in Shanghai Museum than in community libraries. My reasons are as follows.

    On one hand, it is {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(convenient) for people to get to Shanghai Museum{#blank#}5{#/blank#}is located in the center of the city. Besides, the museum is much larger than commuity libraries, which {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(provide)visitors with more comfortable environment for{#blank#}7{#/blank#}(appreciate) art.

    On the other hand, as a well-known museum, Shanghai Museum is more professional and {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(experience)in holding art exhibitions. Its professional security guards and advanced facilities can better protect those famous {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(paint)from being damaged {#blank#}10{#/blank#}stolen.

    Therefore, I suggest the exhibition should be held in Shanghai Museum.

Mike: Hey, Jack. How are you doing?

Jack: Just fine. I'm trying to make friends. Could you give me some {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (suggest)?

Mike: I'd love to. As we know, a true friend is someone who is always {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (concern) about you.

Jack: Yes. And he can also cheer me up when I'm upset and calm me {#blank#}3{#/blank#} when I'm angry.

Mike: I {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (entire) agree with you.

Jack: I have one more question, though.

Mike: Go ahead. I'd be happy {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (show) you how to make new friends.

Jack: I wonder {#blank#}6{#/blank#} I can make friends with people of all ages.

Mike: Yes, of course. I {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (become) a friend to an old lady and to a young kid a few years ago.

Jack: Wow, that's surprising. I didn't know {#blank#}8{#/blank#} you could have such friends. I'm sure I can be friends with many people because I am outgoing.

Mike: I think so. Friends are people who understand you and enjoy {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (be) around you. I think you're a person who is easy to get along {#blank#}10{#/blank#}. People usually like to make friends with someone like you.

Jack: Thank you for giving me such useful advice.

Mike: You are welcome.

    Red Nose Day is one of Britain's most successful {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (event) to raise money for good causes. It {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (organize) by Comic Relief and takes place in March. Many well-known comedians take part, as well as actors, musicians and other famous people. All these people in the public eye {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (brave) take on usual challenges, from learning to sing to {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (sit) in a bath full of cold beans.

    In addition to a great evening's entertainment(娱乐)on TV on the day itself, there are {#blank#}5{#/blank#}great number of programmes and live events in the weeks leading up to Red Nose Day. At schools and colleges, students do silly things for cash and many workplaces organize similar money-raising stunts (噱头). Shops and supermarkets sell the famous red noses and other products.

    Through short documentary films, TV viewers learn how the money {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (collect) in previous years has helped Comic Relief to make a real {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (different) to people in need, both in Britain and in Africa. Some of the stories {#blank#}8{#/blank#} are shown are shocking. It is extremely moving to see {#blank#}9{#/blank#} people's lives can be changed. Comic Relief has been able to achieve a great deal {#blank#}10{#/blank#} making people laugh.

    Being overweight can cause depression even when no other health problems exist, according to a study released Tuesday by the University of Exeter.

    A team {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (lead) by researchers from the University of Exeter analyzed UK Biobank data (基因数据库) from more {#blank#}2{#/blank#} 48,000 people with depression and {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (compare) them to another group of more than 290,000 people.

    While {#blank#}4{#/blank#} has long been known that depression is more common in obesity, the team concluded {#blank#}5{#/blank#} higher body mass index(体重指数) can cause depression in itself, even in the obese {#blank#}6{#/blank#} other health problems.

    Our genetic analysis concludes that the psychological impact of being obese is likely {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(cause) depression. This is important to help target efforts to reduce depression, {#blank#}8{#/blank#} makes it much harder for people to adopt {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (health) lifestyle habits, said Dr Jess Tyrrell. The team tested their results in many people and they reached {#blank#}10{#/blank#} same conclusion, verifying their results.

    The study has been published in the International Journal of Epidemiology.

    Senior citizens are the first to come to our mind when you think of hearing loss, but in a recent report, hearing professionals worry teenagers will soon outnumber aging adults {#blank#}1{#/blank#} it comes to living with hearing loss.

    The rise in popularity of personal audio devices from iPods to smart phones has had dangerous effect on the ears of those who use them most, teenagers! A research {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (conduct) by the World Health Organization finds that nearly 50% of teens {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (fall) into the habit of exposing themselves to unsafe levels of sound so far.

    A sound is considered unsafe when it goes beyond 85 decibels (分贝). At that level, it takes just 8 hours of listening over your lifetime to cause damage. The louder the sound is, the {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (little) time it takes to cause damage. Because hearing loss is {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (typical) considered a health problem for the elderly, it is difficult to convince already stubborn teenagers that they really are doing damage {#blank#}6{#/blank#} their ears.

    Young adults {#blank#}7{#/blank#} have been exposed to loud noise over a period of time may have some hearing loss symptoms. Their {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (able) to learn is compromised, and they may have difficulty developing social skills.

    In an effort to help teens better protect their hearing, we suggest {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (set) volume limits on personal audio devices. {#blank#}10{#/blank#} is also good to limit the amount of time exposed to noise and to take listening breaks to give the ears a rest.
