How will you run away? Do you know how to save yourself? Please read the following passage. Running away from a fire is a serious matter. Knowing what to do during a fire can save your life.

From the lower floors of the buildings, escaping through windows is possible. Learn the best way of leaving through windows with the least chance of getting serious injury (受伤).

On the second or third floor, the best windows for running away are those that open onto a roof (屋顶). From the roof a person can drop to the ground more safely.

Running away from a fire is a serious matter. Knowing what to do during a fire can save your life. It is important to know the ways you can use and show them to everyone in the family, such as stairways (楼梯), but not lifts (电梯). From the lower floors of the buildings, escaping through windows is possible. Learn the best way of leaving through windows with the least chance of getting serious injury (受伤). The second floor window is usually not very high from the ground. An average (普通的) person, hanging by the fingertips, 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 (更安全的) 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 (烟) 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. On the second or third floor, the best windows for running away are those that open onto a roof (屋顶). From the roof a person can drop to the ground more safely. Dropping onto cement ground (水泥地面) might end in injury. Bushes (灌木丛) and grass can help to break a fall (减轻下降的力量). 1．What does the underlined word “escaping” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?

This is what to do in a fire: 1. Shout out. Shout as loudly as you can, because people may be asleep. 2. Call 119. Never try to put out a fire yourself. Tell 119 where you are and what is on fire. 3. Keep down close to the floor. There is less smoke down there, so it’s easier to breathe (呼吸) and see where you are going. 4. Test (检查) the door. If the door is cool, open it carefully. If the door is hot, do not open it! Try to find a different way out. 5. Get out. Do not stop to pick up anything. A fire can become very big in a few seconds! 6. Don’t use the lift. Always use the stairs (楼梯). The lift may go wrong and keep you inside. 7. Don’t go back. Even if you have left your pet or favorite toy inside, do not go back for it.
