Question

What are you going to do if you are in a burning house? How will you escape a fire? Do you know how to save your life? Please read the following passage.

Escaping a fire is a serious matter. Knowing what to do during a fire can keep you safe or even save your life. It is important to know the ways to escape(逃脫) a fire. When a fire happens, we can use the stairways, windows or fire escapes, but not lifts.

From the lower floors of the buildings, escaping through windows is possible. It is the best way of escaping through windows with the least chance of serious injury. Of course, dropping onto the soft earth or grass is safer than that onto cement(水泥). It can help to break a fall.

The second floor window is usually not very high from the ground. A middle build(中等身材) person, hanging by the fingers will have a drop of about six feet to the ground, it is about the height of a middle build 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 go into the room. Keep our head low at the window to be sure you get fresh air rather than smoke.
