My name is Robinson Crusoe, and I was born in the city of York in 1632. My father was a successful businessman. I had two elder brothers. One of them worked in the army(军队) and was killed during the war against Spain. The other was missing one day, and we never knew what had happened to him. My father gave me a good education and wanted me to be a lawyer(律师). 

However, I wanted to be a sailor(海员) and go to sea. My father was very angry with me. He didn't understand why I wanted to leave his house, where I would have an easy and comfortable life.

"Two kinds of people go to sea, " he said. "They are the very poor people and the very rich people. The poor are foolish, having no other ways to live. The rich own ships and can make money with them. You are neither too poor nor too rich, so you should stay at home with your mother and me. Your elder brother didn't listen to me, and now he is dead. If you do not listen to me, you will have a difficult life!"

I tried to do what he wanted me to do, but I couldn't. I spoke to my mother.

"Please ask Dad if he will let me have one voyage(航行) by sea, " I asked her. "When I return, I will live the life he wants me to live. "

Mum was angry. "Your father will not let you go. I don't want you to go to sea either. It's dangerous. "

I argued(争吵) with my parents for another year. Then, I went to Hull with a friend who was going to London by ship. He invited me to go with him, and I agreed. I didn't even tell my parents before leaving. I just went. That was how all my bad luck began.

People know the dangers of fires. It's good for a family to learn how to prepare for a fire. {#blank#}1{#/blank#}.

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 plans. They should know all the ways out of the house. {#blank#}2{#/blank#}. 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. Everyone 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 fire. {#blank#}3{#/blank#}.

{#blank#}4{#/blank#}. 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.

{#blank#}5{#/blank#}. If there is a fire, don't forget to call 119 for help.
 

No.5 Middle School asked the students to make a survey(调查). The question was" What is your dream job?" There were 200 students taking part in the survey. Here are the results.

An old woman has an old cat. The cat can't run quickly or bite（咬）. The old woman doesn't take the old cat out for a walk or give it good food. The old cat always lies under the chair and doesn't want to move. 

Suddenly the cat sees a mouse（老鼠）in the house. So it jumps and catches the mouse. But it can't kill（杀死）the mouse because its teeth are bad. So the mouse runs away quickly. The old woman sees that and becomes angry. She begins to hit the cat and shouts，"Get out!Get out!"The cat doesn't go away but says to the old woman"Don't hit me. I have worked for you for many years. Now I still work for you. But I'm old and can't kill the mouse like before. Don't be rude（粗鲁的）to the old. Think about how much I did for you when I was young. "
