    What are you going to do if you are in a burning house? How will you escape（逃脱）? Do you know how to save yourself? Please read the following passage.

    Escaping a fire is a serious matter. Knowing what to do during a fire can save your life. It is important to know about the ways you can use, such as stairways or fire escapes but not lifts. And more importantly, show them to everyone in your family.

    From the lower floors of the buildings, escaping through windows is possible. So learning the best way of leaving by windows with the least chance of serious injury is quite necessary.

    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 the smoke and fire may spread into the room. Keep your head low at the window to be sure you get the fresh air rather than the 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 and grass can help to break a fall.

44. If you’re in a burning house, it is important to __________.

A. put out the fire on your own B. know the ways to escape

C. jump off the burning house D. keep the door open to get fresh air

45. It is possible to escape through the windows __________.

A. if there are some bushes on the ground B. if you are strong enough

C. if you live on a lower floor D. if you have a long rope

46. The second floor window might be a good choice to escape from because __________.

A. it’s not too high from the ground B. others can see you clearly and save you

C. you’re able to get the fresh air there D. sometimes the stairways cannot be used

47. Which of the following escaping way is NOT right?

A. You can escape through stairways B. You can choose fire escapes

C. Escape from the windows that open onto a roof D. Use a lift to come down at once

C

      In the United States, sometimes when one becomes rich, he wants everyone to know it. And even if he does not become very rich, he wants people to think that he is. That is what “keeping up with the Joneses” is about. It is a story of someone who tried to look as rich as his neighbors.

      The expression was first used in1913 by a young American called Arthur Momand. He told this story about himself. He began earning $125 a week at the age of 23, and that was a lot of money in those days. He got married and moved with his wife to a very wealthy neighborhood outside New York City. When he saw rich people riding horses, Momand went horse-riding every day. When he saw that the rich had servants, Momand and his wife also hired a servant and gave big parties for their new neighbors.It was like a race, but one could never finish this race because another one was always trying to keep up. The race ended when Momand and his wife finally found that they could no longer pay for their new way of life and had to move back to an old apartment in New York City.

      Momand looked around him and noticed that many people do such things just to keep up with rich lifestyle of their neighbors. He saw the funny side of it and started to write a series（系列）of short novels, and he called it “Keeping up with the Joneses” because “Jones” is a very common name in the United States. “Keeping up with the Joneses” came to mean keeping up with rich lifestyle of the people around you. Since then, Momand’s series came out in different newspapers across the country for over 28 years.

    People never seem to get tired of keeping up with the Joneses. And there are “Joneses” in every city of the world. But one must get tired of trying to keep up with the Joneses because no matter what he does, a Mr. Jones always seems to be ahead.

48. Some people want to keep up with the Joneses because they __________.
