A report in a newspaper says that school accidents, such as food poisoning(食物中毒), fires, electricity and traffic, kill more primary and middle school students than any other things. So we must learn how to protect ourselves better. Here are some tips for keeping safety in mind every day.

When we're on our way home or to school . Wait for the green traffic light, and look left and right before we cross the road. We'd better wear bright-color clothes, so the drivers can see us easily. Don't believe the people we don't know in the street.

When we're in the school activity . When students around us begin to push each other, it's necessary for us to stand still and try to hold onto something, or stay in a corner until the crowd leaves. If we fall down in a moving crowd, use our hands to cover the head. Lean to one side, curl up(蜷縮)our body and bend(使彎曲)the legs.

When we meet a fire. Stay calm. Leave the classroom quickly with the help of the teachers. Smoke can be more dangerous than fire, so we should use a piece of wet cloth to cover our mouth and nose. What will we do if the clothes burn? Remember not to run! Drop and fall to the ground.

Then roll! It will make the fire go out.

When we eat . Wash fruits carefully before eating them. Check the expiration dates(保質(zhì)期)on the packages of the snacks, and if it looks or smells bad, don't eat it.

Answer the questions(根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容回答下列問(wèn)題)

There was once a boy who was afraid of the dark. He thought that his bedroom was filled up with monsters when it was dark. But there came a time when he was too old to be allowed to keep sleeping with the light on .

That first night he was filled with fear, his mind full of monsters. Therefore, he went over to his wardrobe to get a torch. But when he opened the wardrobe door, he saw a monster, face to face, and he let out the loudest scream in the world.

The monster took a step backwards, grabbed his colourful hair, stared at the boy with his single red eye, and …started crying! The monster cried for so long that the boy’s shock and fear disappeared. He calmed the monster as much as he could, and started talking to him, asking him why he was crying, and what he was doing there.

The monster told him he lived in the wardrobe, but almost never went out, because he was afraid of the boy. When the boy asked him why, the monster told him the boy’s face seemed to him the most horrible thing he’d ever seen with eyes, ears and a nose. The boy felt the similar way about the monster with a huge head full of mouths and hair.

The two of them talked so much that they became quite friendly , and they came to know that both of them had been afraid of the thing :the unknown . To lose their fear, all they had to do was to get to know each other. Together they travelled around the world, seeing lions, tigers, crocodiles and dragons. It was the first time either of them had seen such creatures, but they made the effort to get to know them. In the end, they ___________and __________.

And, although his parents weren’t too happy, because they thought he was too old to still believe in monsters, the truth of it was that all kinds of creatures visited the boy’s bedroom each night. And , instead of fearing them, he had learned to get to know them and be friends with them.

1.What was the boy afraid of when he was sleeping at night?

2.Why did the boy go to the wardrobe that night?

3.How did the monster in the wardrobe feel at first when he saw the boy?

4.What did the monster look like?
