There are many kinds of heroes. Even animals can be heroes. This passage tells about three amazing animals. Each one is a hero!
Thumper, the Dog

Thumper was a dog that lived with a family which had a three-year-old son named Benjamin. One day Benjamin wandered(閑逛) into a large field. The grass in the field was taller than he was, so he could not find his way out. Hundreds of people began to search for Benjamin. When they found him, they saw Thumper stayed with Benjamin and kept him warm. So Benjamin had stayed safe.
Lulu, the Pig

The Altsmans had a pet pig named Lulu. One summer the couple went camping and took Lulu with them. The husband went fishing one morning. The wife didn’t feel well, so she and Lulu stayed in the camper. Suddenly Mrs. Altsman fell to the floor. Lulu pushed the camper door open and climbed out for help. When a car came by, she lay down in front of it. When the driver got out, Lulu led him back to the camper. The man called for help and Mrs. Altsman was taken to hospital.
Sugar, the Cat

Sugar was a beautiful cat. Three years ago she wandered onto the Woods’ farm in California and Mrs. Woods began feeding her. Mrs. Woods noticed something wrong with the cat’s left leg, but this didn’t make Sugar any less special. Mrs. Woods loved Sugar. Later the couple moved to a new farm in Oklahoma. They gave Sugar to a neighbor who would take good care of her, because they knew she wouldn’t like riding in cars for days. However, Sugar walked across deserts and mountains and traveled more than 1,500 miles to the Woods’ new farm! Mr. and Mrs. Woods could hardly believe their eyes. No one knows how Sugar found her way to Oklahoma.

Stay as safe as possible during an earthquake.  Be aware that some earthquakes are actually foreshocks (前震) and a larger earthquake might occur.  Reduce your movements to a few steps to a nearby safe place.
If you are indoors,  do “duck，cover and hold”.  Duck or drop down to the floor, under something strong,  such as a table or a desk，cover your head and face with your arms and hands and hold on to that table or desk so that it does not move away from you as the ground shakes.  Do this until the shaking stops and it is safe to move.  Stay inside to avoid being injured by falling glass or building parts.  If there isn’t a table or desk near you, cover your face and head with your arms and crouch(捲縮）in an inside comer of the building.
Stay clear of windows，fireplaces, and heavy furniture that may fall over.  Stay inside until the shaking stops and it is safe to go outside.  Research has shown that most injuries occur when people inside buildings attempt to move to a different  location inside the building or try to leave.
If you are outside, get into the open and stay there.  Move away from trees，buildings, signs and power lines.  Once in the open, stay there until the shaking stops. The greatest danger exists directly outside buildings,  at exits  and alongside exterior walls. Ground movement during an earthquake is seldom the direct cause of death or injury.  Most earthquake-related casualties (傷亡) result from collapsing walls,  flying glasses, and falling objects.
If you are driving, you may not realize what is going on at first because the car may feel like it is going to blow up.  Stop the car in as clear and open an area as possible and stay in it until the shaking stops.  If it is a really bad quake, turn on the radio to find an emergency channel to get information.  Follow the directions of people directing traffic.
If you are in a mountainous area,  watch out for falling rock and other debris that could be loosened by the earthquake.
If you are at the beach,  move quickly to higher ground or several hundred yards inland.
【小題1】Which of the following pictures means “duck，cover and hold”？

【小題2】Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the text?

A．Ground movement during an earthquake is the main reason of death.
B．You should keep your windows, fireplaces and heavy furniture clear.
C．Stop your car in the clear area and get out of it if an earthquake happens.
D．Run away from the beach as quickly as possible if an earthquake happens.
【小題3】The passage is mainly about________ during the earthquake.
A．ways of keeping you safe
B．the importance of keeping safe
C．ways of finding safe places
D．researches on how to keep safe

People know the dangers of fires. It’s good for a family to learn how to prepare for a fire. There are some suggestions:
Put a smoke alarm in the house. Smoke from a fire causes the alarm to go off. The alarm makes a loud sound. The sound tells everyone to leave the house at once.
Make escape plans. Everyone should know all the ways out of the house. If there is a fire, everyone should know all the ways out of the house. If there is a fire, everyone follows the plan to get out. Part of the plan is to check all the windows to make sure they can be opened easily.
Buy fire extinguishers(滅火器) in the house. Everyone in the family should know how to use them. Practice for a fire. We do fire practice because we teach children about fire safety. Everyone in the family should know the following fire rules:
*Don’t open a hot door. The fire can grow more quickly if you open the door.
*Stay close to the floor. Smoke can be more dangerous than fire. The best air is near the floor because smoke rises.
*What should you do if your hair or clothes start to burn? First, stop. Don’t run! The fire burns faster because of more air. Drop1 Fall to the floor. Then roll! Turning over and over will make the fire go out. Put a blanket around you to keep air away from the fire that may still be on you.
There are many possible causes for fires. A wise family is ready all the time. If there is a fire, don’t forget to call 119 for help.
