He went downstairs quickly to investigate. When he opened the door to the basement (地下室), flames exploded out.Donald fled back upstairs to call 911 but the phone didnt work. When he tried to go downstairs, he was stopped by a wall of flames. He had to use a towel to cover his mouth. His house was three miles off the main road and so well hidden by trees that Donald knew calling for help would be useless. Actually, he didnt even try to do that. About one mile away lived Donalds closest neighbor, Jeremie. When he heard some sounds, Jeremie jumped out of bed, holding a phone and a flashlight, and went towards the noise. He dialed 911 the instant he saw the flames. When he came close to the house, Jeremie knew hed better wait until rescuers came. But he didnt want Donald to die in the fire. Without hesitation (犹豫), he rushed into the house. He shouted, “Donald, where are you?” Then he had to run outside to catch his breath.

So when the Red Cross put on a special child-centered course for older carers, he couldnt wait to apply for (申请) it.Irving, who has six grandchildren aged under 12, was just one of many grandparents attending the busy first aid session（讲习会） in Royal Wootton Bassett, Wiltshire. He said, “My wife is a nurse, so Ive always relied on her to act in an emergency. But there are occasions when shes out and Im left looking after the kids by myself. Having some first aid skills means Ill know what to do if anything bad happens.”The everyday first aid course covered basic skills such as dealing with burns, fractures (骨折) and bleeding injuries. It also covered what to do if a child or baby started choking. Irving said, “Recently, my youngest grandson, whos just 12 months old, swallowed a small part of a toy. Luckily, he didnt choke and was still able to breathe, but he couldnt eat and had a strange cough for a while. Finally, the doctors removed it. However, it made me think what if that had happened when I was looking after him and he had started to choke? Before taking this course I wouldnt have known what to do.”Jo Riches, a first aid trainer, said, “We felt it was important to hold a course specifically for grandparents as more and more are responsible for caring for their grandchildren while parents return to work.” Irving said, “I took a first aid course many years ago, but the techniques have changed over the years. This one was so easy and made it simple to master the key skills. I feel I could respond to an emergency now if I have to.”63.

On Mothers Day the one day a year that is truly about “mom”, dont take her out to a crowded, noisy and overpriced restaurant. Show your mom that you really put some thought into her special day and host brunch (早午餐) in her honor.Theres no need for your hands to start sweating from fear of standing near a hot stove, your face covered in flour and smoke alarms going off in the distance. Brunch can be as easy as youd like it to be.The beauty of brunch is that you can offer both breakfast and lunch selections (可供挑选的东西), so theres usually something for everyone. Popular brunch selections include coffee cakes or quick bread such as banana bread.

Food is obviously the major part of brunch, but there are nice decorative things you can add to help make the occasion more memorable.
