A famous teacher was speaking to the students at our school. He began his lesson by holding up a $100 bill. Then he said to the three hundred students， “Who would like this $100 bill？” The students began to put up their hands at once.
Then he said， “I am going to give this $100 to one of you， but first， let me do this.” He then made the bill into a ball. Then he said， “Who wants it now？” The hands went back into the air.
“Well，” he said， “what if I do this？” And he dropped it on the floor and stepped on it. He picked up the dirty， crumpled bill and said， “Who still wants it？” Hands went back into the air.

Do you know how to play a game called “Musical Chairs”？ It is easy to play and most people enjoy it. All you need are some chairs， some people and some ways of making music. You may use a piano or any other musical instrument， if someone can play it. You may use a tape recorder. You can even use a radio.
Put the chairs in a row. The chairs may be put in twos， back to back. A better way is to have the chairs in one row with each chair facing in the opposite direction to the chair next to it.
The game is easy. When the music starts， the players walk round the chairs. Everyone goes in the same direction， and of course， they should walk in time to the music. If the music is fast they should walk quickly. If the music is slow， they should walk slowly.
The person playing music cannot see the people in the game. When the music stops， the players try to sit on the chairs. If a person cannot find a chair to sit on， he drops out. Then， before the music starts again， one chair must be taken away. When the music stops again， one more player will be out.
At last， there will be two players and one chair. The one who sits on the chair when the music stops is the winner.

What are you going to do if you are in a burning house？ How will you escape？ Do you know how to save yourself？
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 get 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.
（ ） 11. It is important to ___ .
A. keep the door open
B. jump off a burning house
C. know the ways to escape the fire
D. put out the fire in the burning house
（ ） 12. It is possible to escape through the windows ___ .
A. if there is grass on the ground
B. if you live on a lower floor

The tiger is the largest wild cat in the world. The big cat weighs about 363 kilograms and is about two meters long.
Tigers wait until it is dark； then they go out to find their food. When a tiger sees an animal， it moves very quietly， and then jumps on the animal to kill it. Sometimes it can take several days for a tiger to finish eating its kill. The tiger eats until it’s had enough， and then it covers the dead animal with leaves. Later， when the tiger is hungry again， it comes back to eat some more.
Tigers are different from others in the family： they like water， and they often jump into rivers to swim.
Some tigers live in very cold places—in parts of North Korea， eastern Russia， and Northeast China. Other tigers live in warmer places—in India and parts of Southeast Asia.
All tigers are in danger. People kill them to use their skins for clothes， and their bodies for medicine. In addition， there is also less and less land for tigers to live on. But now people know that tigers are in danger and have made plans to protect them.

A famous teacher was speaking to the students at our school. He began his lesson by holding up a $100 bill. Then he said to the three hundred students， “Who would like this $100 bill？” The students began to put up their hands at once.
Then he said， “I am going to give this $100 to one of you， but first， let me do this.” He then made the bill into a ball. Then he said， “Who wants it now？” The hands went back into the air.
“Well，” he said， “what if I do this？” And he dropped it on the floor and stepped on it. He picked up the dirty， crumpled bill and said， “Who still wants it？” Hands went back into the air.
“My friends，” he said， “you have learned a valuable lesson today. No matter what I did to the money， you still wanted it because it did not go down in value （价值）. It was still worth $ l00！”
Many times in our lives， we are dropped， crumpled， and stepped on by the chances we take and the things that happen to us. We feel as if we are worth nothing.

Do you know how to play a game called “Musical Chairs”？ It is easy to play and most people enjoy it. All you need are some chairs， some people and some ways of making music. You may use a piano or any other musical instrument， if someone can play it. You may use a tape recorder. You can even use a radio.
Put the chairs in a row. The chairs may be put in twos， back to back. A better way is to have the chairs in one row with each chair facing in the opposite direction to the chair next to it.
The game is easy. When the music starts， the players walk round the chairs. Everyone goes in the same direction， and of course， they should walk in time to the music. If the music is fast they should walk quickly. If the music is slow， they should walk slowly.
The person playing music cannot see the people in the game. When the music stops， the players try to sit on the chairs. If a person cannot find a chair to sit on， he drops out. Then， before the music starts again， one chair must be taken away. When the music stops again， one more player will be out.
At last， there will be two players and one chair. The one who sits on the chair when the music stops is the winner.

What are you going to do if you are in a burning house？ How will you escape？ Do you know how to save yourself？
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 get 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.

The tiger is the largest wild cat in the world. The big cat weighs about 363 kilograms and is about two meters long.
Tigers wait until it is dark； then they go out to find their food. When a tiger sees an animal， it moves very quietly， and then jumps on the animal to kill it. Sometimes it can take several days for a tiger to finish eating its kill. The tiger eats until it’s had enough， and then it covers the dead animal with leaves. Later， when the tiger is hungry again， it comes back to eat some more.
Tigers are different from others in the family： they like water， and they often jump into rivers to swim.
Some tigers live in very cold places—in parts of North Korea， eastern Russia， and Northeast China. Other tigers live in warmer places—in India and parts of Southeast Asia.
All tigers are in danger. People kill them to use their skins for clothes， and their bodies for medicine. In addition， there is also less and less land for tigers to live on. But now people know that tigers are in danger and have made plans to protect them.
