On average (平均), firefighters get a fire call every 24 second s in the US. Every 87 seconds, a home fire

happens. Just between January 1st, 2019 and January 1st, 2024, there were 11,180 home fire deaths in the country. But the best escape time for a fire is just three minutes or less. So everyone should pay attention to fire safety at home.
To avoid starting a fire, we must know common causes. Cooking tools are the number-one cause of home fires. Be especially careful when using them. Never leave the kitchen while cooking and make sure the tools are completely off after cooking. Electrical appliances (电器) can lead to a fire, so check them often to make sure they are working properly. Smoking is another common cause of house fires. It’s never a good idea to smoke indoors, so take a few steps to go out. Last, don’t forget little kids. They usually find fire exciting and think of fire as a toy. So keep them away from fire and teach them about dangers of fire.
How can we prevent home fires? The following tips may help
Get smoke alarms
The first step is to install (安装) enough smoke alarms through your home. Get one in every room.
Prepare fire extinguishers
Keep fire extinguishers (灭火器) available at home. They can put out small fires. Check them often to make sure they work properly.
Create a plan for escape
A good plan should start with two escape ways from every room. Then know how fast your family can run, tell kids when and how to get out, and make a house map with all doors and windows. At last, choose a meeting place outside. And don't forget to practice it often with every family member.
You might think that these fire safety tips are common sense. However, it's difficult to think of them especially when you're in a life-and-death moment. Take action with the tips and never take fire safety lightly at home.

A. By asking a question. B. By introducing the causes.
C. By telling a story. D. By listing some numbers.
5. What cause(s) the most home fires?

C. Smoking indoors. D. Not having smoke alarms.
6. For a good escape plan, what should people do in step 4?

A. Talk with every family member
B. Teach family members how to call 119
C. Make a house map with all doors and windows
D. Think about special needs for older family members

What subject do you worry about the most at school? Many students worry about math. Some students can’t sleep well the day before a math exam. Others may feel very nervous during the exam itself. But there might be a way to make the subject less stressful.
“For students who are worried about math, posture (姿势) makes a big difference,” Erik Peper, a researcher from a university told Daily Mail. That’s right—sitting up straight can help you do better in math exams.
Researchers tested 125 college students. They asked them to do a math exam while sitting in a slumped-over (趴倒的) position, or sitting up straight. After the test, 56% of the students said the exam was easier to do if they were sitting up straight.
Slumping over is a defensive (防备的) posture. It can bring out negative (消极的) memories in the body and brain. This can stop you from thinking clearly, Peper said.
Students who were not nervous about taking the math exam didn’t necessarily benefit (受益) from better posture. But they did find that doing math in a slumped-over position was more difficult, Science Daily reported.
Good posture isn’t just helpful for taking math exams. Musicians, sports players and public speakers can all benefit from it. When you feel stressed out, you can also try to sit up straight or stand tall. It can help you feel more positive (积极的) and focus better.
8. According to the passage, how do many students feel when they face math?
A. Calm. B. Sleepy. C. Stressed. D. Relaxed.

9. How many students found it easier to do the math exam when sitting up straight?
A. 125. B. 70. C. 60. D. 56.
10. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 6 refer to?
A. Good posture. B. Taking math exams. C. Defensive posture. D. Science Daily.
11. What is the passage mainly about?
A. The benefits of positive posture. B. A good way to relax in an exam.
C. The benefits of a slumped-over position. D. A good way to have math tests.
D
Which is more important in your mind, looking fashionable or feeling comfortable? You may find many people choose style over comfort and some even go to extremes (极端) to follow fashion. But we should remember: being fashionable isn’t everything. It’s more important to be healthy.
Some people believe that they need to be a certain size to look good. So, they start extreme diets that are not good for their health. They might not eat meals or eat too little, which can make them feel sick. Is it a healthy way to live?
Also, many girls wear shoes with very high heels. They might think high heels make them look taller. But these shoes can actually hurt their feet and make it hard to walk comfortably, and they can increase the risks of falls. Some even wear tight clothes that influence blood circulation (循环), making it hard to breathe. Should we put fashion over comfort and physical health?
Besides, some boys and girls spend a lot of time and money changing their hair color. The material they use is usually harmful to their health. To make their hair straight or curly, they also use tools that are hot enough to burn their hair. But using these tools too often or at very high temperatures can make the hair dry or even burnt. Is it really worth it to risk our health, spending so much time and money?
So, let’s think again what’s really important. Is it fashion or is it our well-being? Clothes or hairstyles don’t tell us anything about a person’s character. Instead of spending a lot of time choosing clothes, we could use that time to do fun things with friends. And instead of following extreme diets, let’s eat properly and exercise regularly. Remember, the value of you is not decided by your appearance, but by who you are as a person.
12. Why do some people go on extreme diets according to the passage?
A. Because the diets are healthy. B. Because they just want to look good.
C. Because they want to save time. D. Because they want to save money.
13. What is the writer’s purpose of using a question in each paragraph?
A. To ask for help from readers. B. To tell how to spend time and money.

C. To introduce the latest fashion. D. To lead readers to think about the topic.
14. What does the underlined word “well-being” mean in the last paragraph?
A. Growth. B. Health. C. Warmth. D. Wealth.
15. Which of the following is the structure of the passage?
（①=Paragraph 1;②=Paragraph2……）
A. B. C. D.
