1、Passage 9What are you going to do if you are in a burning house? How will you escape? Do you know
how to save yourself? Please read the following passage.
Escaping a fire is a serious matter. Knowing what to do during a fire can save your 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 last chance of serious injury.
The second floor window is usually not very high from the ground. An average 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 leak 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 might end in injury.
Bushes and grass can help to break a fall.3. Which of the following escaping way is NOT right?

1、Passage 1
The secret of being born lucky is a summer birthday, with May babies most likely to enjoy a lifetime‘s good fortune, according to a study of more than 40,000 people. The time of year at which you are born has an enduring influence on levels of optimism and self-reported luck, according to a research by British and Swedish scientists. May was the luckiest month in which to be born, with 50 percent of those born then considering themselves lucky, while October was the least lucky month, with just 43 percent claiming good fortune.
The findings add to growing evidence that the phenomenon of luck is not all down to chance, but is affected by a person‘s general disposition. Other research has shown that whether people think themselves fortunate depends less on objective success than on having a ―glass half-full‖ or“half-empty‖ approach to life. ―What we are seeing suggests that something is influencing how people perceive their luckiness. My hypothesis is that people create their own luck by traits such as optimism, that luck is a psychological phenomenon rather than a matter of blind chance,‖ said Professor Richard Wiseman, who led the research.
The pattern of the result, with those born in spring and in summer reporting themselves luckier than those born in autumn or winter, could have two potential explanations, Professor Wiseman said.3.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
