31、What 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 least chance of serious injury.
The second floor window is usually
not very high from the ground. An average (平均高度的) 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 have leaked (滲) into the room.
On a second or third floor, the
best windows for escape are these which open onto a roof. From the roof a
person can drop to the ground more safely. Dropping onto cement (水泥) might end with injury. Bushes and
grass can help to break a fall.
