It helps students learn more about how to keep themselves safe. What are the accidents at school? Let’s take a look. Stampedes, earthquakes and fires are the main accidents at school. A stampede always happens in crowded (拥挤的) places. When students around you begin to push, just stand there and try to hold onto something. If you fall down in the crowd, move to one side and protect your head with your hands around. When earthquakes happen, you can get under a desk quickly and hold on. It will protect you from falling things. If you are outside, find a place away from buildings, trees, and power lines. When there’s a fire, leave the classroom quickly. It’s better to put something wet over your mouth and nose. In this way, you won’t breathe (呼吸) in smoke. Many people die in a fire, not because of the fire but smoke. It makes them cough and they can’t breathe. That’s very dangerous! So when you want to get out, you should make yourself close to the floor. Then you can breathe some fresh air. 61.

Safety Education （C） There was once a man called Mr. Flower, and flowers were his only joy in life. He spent all his free time in one of his four glass-houses and grew flowers of every color, with long and difficult names, for competitions (竞赛). He tried to grow a rose of a new color to win the silver (银) cup for the Rose of the Year. Mr. Flower’s glass-houses were very near to a middle school. Boys of around thirteen often threw a stone at one of Mr. Flower’s glass-houses. So Mr. Flower did his best to be in or near his glass-house at the beginning and end of the school day. But it was not always possible to be on watch at those times. Mr. Flower had tried in many ways to protect his glass, but nothing that he had done had been useful. He had been to school to report to the headmaster; but this had not done any good. He had tried to drive away the boys that threw stones into his garden, but the boys could run faster than he could, and they laughed at him from far away. He had even picked up all the stones that he could find around his garden, so that the boys would have nothing to throw but they soon found others. At last Mr. Flower had a good idea. He put up a large notice made of good, strong wood, some meters away from the glass-houses. On it he had written the words: DO NOT THROW STONES AT THIS NOTICE. After this, Mr. Flower had no further trouble, the boys were much more willing to throw stones at the notice than at the glass-houses. 66. It was Mr. Flowers’ hope to ________. A. build glass-houses in his free time B. grow the most beautiful roses all over the city C. grow a rose with the longest name D. win a silver cup for growing a rose of a new color 67. Boys often ________.

A. at times when school-boys were walking near them B. all the school day when there were no boys around C. where he could not be seen by the passing boys D. in his free time at the beginning and end of the school day 69. Mr. Flower had tried to ________ to protect his glass. A. be on watch in his free time B. ask the headmaster for help C. pick up all the stones around his garden D. do all the above 70.
