Escaping a fire is a serious matter. Knowing what to do during a fire can save you life. It is important to know the ways you can use and show them to everyone in the family， such as stairways and fire escapes， but not lifts. From the lower floors of the buildings， escaping through windows is possible， learn the best way of leaving by windows with the least chance of serious injury. The second floor window is usually not very high from the ground. An average（平均高度的） person， hanging by the finger-tips will have a drop of about six feet to the ground. It is about the height of an average man. Of course， it is safer to jump a short way than to stay in a burning building. Windows are also useful when you are waiting for help. Be sure to keep the door closed. Or smoke and fire may be drawn into the room. Keep your head low at the window to be sure you get fresh air rather than smoke that may leaked（渗） into the room. On a second or third floor， the best windows for escape are those that open onto a roof. From the roof a person can drop to the ground more safely.Dropping onto cement（水泥） might end in injury. Bushes（灌木丛） and grass can help to break a fall. 根据以上短文内容，然后从每题所给的四个选项中选择最佳选项。 1. It is important to _.

It is hard for her family to get clean water. Every morning， she leaves home at half past five to get clean water for her family in a village far away. It takes her six hours to get enough clean water for daily（日常） cooking and drinking. She has no time to go to school or to play with her friends. Millions of people in the world are like Napoga. They cant get enough clean water to keep healthy. Earth Day is April 22. But on all other days， we must also remember it. The water we use is the most important natural resource（自然资源） on the earth. Water covers 70% of the earths surface（表面）。 But most of that is sea water. We cant use it for very many things. Fresh water covers only 1% of the earths surface. You probably feel lucky that your life isnt as hard as Napogas. But that doesnt mean you dont have to worry about water. We all face serious water problems. One of them is water pollution. All kinds of things from cars， factories， farms and homes make our rivers， lakes， and oceans dirty. Polluted water is very bad for people to drink. And dirty water is bad for fish， too. Now， 34% of all kinds of fish are dying out. How do cars and factories make our water dirty？ First， they pollute the air. Then， when it rains， the rain water comes down and makes our drinking water dirty. Dirty rain， called acid rain（酸雨）， is also bad for plants， animals and buildings. Scientists say that in 30 years， more than half of the people in the world wont have enough clean water. We have to learn how to save more water for ourselves and our children. Here is some advice for saving water： Turn off the water while you brush your teeth. You can save as much as 450 liters（升） each month. Leaky taps（漏水的龙头） waste a lot of water. Fix them right away！ You can easily cut your 10-minute showers（沐浴） in halfand youll be just as clean. When you wash dishes， dont let the water run. Only wash clothes when you have a lot to wash.

So how much does a miracle cost？” “We dont sell a miracle here， child. Im sorry，” the salesman said with a smile. “Listen， if it isnt enough， I can try and get some more. Just tell me how much it costs.” A well-dressed man heard it and asked， “What kind of a miracle does your brother need？” “I dont know，” she answered with her eyes full of tears. “Hes really sick and mum says he needs an opera-tion. But my daddy cant pay for it， so I have brought all my money.” “How much do you have？” asked the man. “$ 1.11， but I can try and get some more，” she answered. “Well， what luck，” smiled the man. “$ 1.11， the price of a miracle for little brothers.” He took up the girls hand and said， “Take me to where you live.
