What if there is a fire where you live? Here are some tips.

If you’re in a room with the door closed and you can’t see any smoke around the door, you can open the door carefully and slowly.   71  .  If there is no smoke or heat, go toward your escape route exit.

If you can see smoke in the house, stay low to the ground as you make your way to the exit.   72      Smoke naturally rises. You’ll breathe less smoke if you stay close to the ground.

73    Also ask your parents if windows would be possible escape routes. Learn how to unlock the windows, open them and remove the screen if necessary.    74   Lots of kids are injured because they fall out windows.

75   But if there is a fire, you have to leave them behind. The most important thing is that you get out safely. It’s also important to know that you shouldn’t stay in the house any longer. Someone else can make the fire alarm call from outside. Once you’re out, do not go back in for the things, even pets. You can tell the fire rescue people about the pets that were left behind and they may be able to help.

A. Make sure you do this only in an emergency!

B. It’s normal to worry about your pets or favorite toys.

C. Never be too concerned about your pets or favorite toys.

D. Leaving the room for the outside should be your first choice when there is a fire.

E. In a fire, smoke and poisonous gases hurt more people than the actual flames do.

F. Exiting through a door that leads outside should be your first choice as an escape route.

G. If you feel a burst of heat or smoke pours into the room when opening the door, quickly shut it.

When Beethoven was in his twenties, he began to deaf. The deafness changed his behavior(举止). He became withdrawn(沉默寡言) and bad-tempered. His friends found him hard to be around. But he kept composing even when he lost all his hearing. The music he heard was in his head.

As 1809 drew to its close, Beethoven gave several main works. On the 22^nd of December, he gave a concert which included the Fifth Symphony and the Piano Concerto（协奏曲）. In May 1890 Haydn died. There was no one to challenge Beethoven’s right to be the musical king of Vienna.
