A

    Blaze is three years old. He is brown all over except for a white mark on his face. That mark is called a blaze（火焰）, and that’s why his name is Blaze.

    Blaze is a wonderful young horse who will soon work for the New York City police. But first he must learn all the things he needs to know to be a police horse. That’s why his trainer is teaching him to jump over obstacles（障碍），to stand very still, to run like the wind. He is also learning to keep calm（镇静）in traffic, or when children are close to him.

    One day, during all this training, Blaze showed that he was the best pupil in the training school. He was in Central Park with his trainer, Mac, when suddenly people began shouting and pointing to the lake. A little girl was in the water. She was crying.

    “Let’s go, Blaze, ”said Mac, and Blaze ran across the grass, jumped into the water and swam as fast as he could. Mac caught the little girl by her dress and lifted her out of water and onto Blaze’s back. A few minutes later, Mac gave the little girl back to her happy mother.

    The people crowded around Blaze. Someone even gave him an apple. A photographer（摄影师）was there, and that night Blaze and Mac’s picture was in all the newspapers.

    A. his owner

    B. the mark on his face

    Fires at home can be very dangerous. Sometimes they can be deadly. Each year in the United States more than 4,000 people die from fires and burns. Not all of these fires happen at home, but many do. A fire at home can start without warning.

    Most fires at home start in the kitchen. Food can catch fires in just a few seconds. Sometimes oil and bits of food on the stove （火炉）get too hot and catch fire. There are other causes of fires at home. Sometimes a fire starts when someone throws a hot match into a wastepaper basket. Sometimes fires at home are caused by flammable （＝easily burning）materials, such as paper, wood and some chemical materials. Faulty electrical wiring（不合格电线）can sometimes cause fires in the home. So something is done to make sure a fire doesn’t start, such as, keep the stove clean; put matches in water or make sure they are cool before they are thrown away; never let small children play with matches or lighters; and store these flammable materials outside your home if possible. Even with the most careful planning, not all fires can be prevented. When a fire starts in your home, it is very frightening. When you’re frightened, you don’t think clearly. So, the best time to plan what to do when a fire happens is before one starts.

    If a fire starts in your home, you need to know how to get everyone out safely and quickly. During the daytime, a fire may be noticed more quickly. Then you will have time to leave through a door－an easy escape route（路线）. At night when everyone in your home is sleeping, you’ll all need to know two ways to get out of your bedrooms. The first choice is through the door. But if you are stopped by fire or smoke outside the doors, you need to have another escape route. One escape route could be through a window. Once you have planned your escape routes, make a diagram of your home. Clearly mark the escape routes on the diagram.

    If you live in a two－story house, make sure to have a fire ladder upstairs. A fire ladder is a rope or metal ladder that can be hung out a window if the stairway is full of smoke or fire. Make sure everyone knows where to find the ladder and how to use it.

    If you live in a tall building, never get in a lift when there is a fire. Lifts can become fixed during a fire. Instead, you’ll need to know where the fire escapes or fire stairs are in your building.

    Fire escapes are stairs that are connected to the outside of buildings. Fire stairs are stairways in many buildings that keep fire and smoke away. Always close the door behind you after entering the fire stairway. Also, know what the fire alarm（警铃）in your building sounds like and how to leave your home if you hear the alarm.

    One last thing you need to do is to agree on a place to meet once you leave your home. The place should be nearby, such as a neighbor’s home, a school, or a store.

  59. ______ can easily cause fires at home.

    A. Burnt matches in the wastepaper basket

    B. Chemical materials close to hot places

    C. A pan filled with fat and hot oily food

    D. Wood and newspapers piled in the corner

  60. Which of the following is correct according to the passage?

    A. Escaping through doors is always the easiest and safest way.

    B. Planning as carefully as possible helps to keep off the fires.

    C. Fires happening at home often start suddenly and unexpectedly.

    D. No matter where you live, a fire ladder is fully needed.

  61. Which do you think is the best title of the passage?

    A. Fire Safety          B. Fire Prevention

    C. Fire Escape          D. Fire Warning

    The pilot（飞行员）is bored to hear the argument （争论）once a year, and he says, “I’ll give you a chance. I’ll take you both up for a ride. If you can stay quiet for the whole ride and not say one word, I won’t ask you to pay for it, but if you say one word, it’s ten dollars. ”

    George and Marge agree and up they go. The pilot does all kinds of twists （旋转）and turns, rolls and dives, but not a word is heard. He does all this over again, but still not a word. They land and the pilot turns to George, “I did everything I could think of to get you to call out, but you didn’t. ”
