“You have no flying skills at all!” He said to the swans, “All you can do is to move your wings. Can you turn over in the air? No, that’s beyond you. Let’s have a flying competition. I’ll show you what real flying is!”

One of the swans, a strong young male, accepted the challenge. The crow flew up and began to show his skills. He flew in circles, performed other flying tricks, and then came down and looked proudly at the swan.

Now it was the swan’s turn. He flew up, and began flying over the sea. The crow flew after him, making all kinds of comments about his flying. They flew on and on till they couldn’t see the land and there was nothing but water on all sides. The crow was making fewer and fewer comments. He was now so exhausted that he found it hard to stay in the air, and had to struggle(努力)to keep himself from falling into the water.

The swan pretended not to notice, and said, “Why do you keep touching the water，brother？

Is that another trick?”

“No,” said the crow. He knew he had lost the competition, “I’m in trouble because of my pride! If you don’t help me, I’ll lose my life…”

The swan took pity on him, and took him on his shoulders and flew back to the beach.

In a fire

Escaping (逃) from 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. For example, you can use stairways(樓梯), roofs and fire escapes, but no lifts. From the lower floors of buildings, to escape through windows is possible. The second floor window is usually not very high from the ground.It is safer to jump a short way than to stay in a burning building.Windows are also useful while you are waiting for help. Be sure to keep the door closed, before opening the window. Otherwise（否則）, smoke and fire may be drawn into the room. Keep your head low next to the window to be sure you get fresh air.

In earthquakes

Here are some tips on how to stay safe in earthquakes. Get under a desk or table, or stand in a corner or under a doorway. Cover your head and neck with your arms. Stay in your seat if in a cinema or a theater. Get below the level of the back of the sea and cover your head and neck with your arms. Try to stay away from kitchens, where there are often many objects that might fall or get hurt.

When the red light is on, please stop and wait until the green light is on. It is important to let the children know that playing on the road is very dangerous.

有兩項(xiàng)為多余選項(xiàng)。

Many of you may know that Jakarta is the capital city of Indonesia.【1】Last month, Indonesia said that the country would move its capital from Jakarta to Kalimantan. This is big news for Indonesia.

The word capital comes from the Latin word "caput", meaning "head". It is no doubt the "head" of a country. The central government and important institutions (機(jī)構(gòu))are put there. 【2】 In English -language news reports, when you read "relations between Beijing and Moscow" ,it actually means "relations between China and Russia".【3】 Therefore, it is important to choose a good place for one's capital. In many countries, the capital is the richest city. This is because when a city becomes an important business center, it takes on a more important place around the world.

London, for example, has been the economic(經(jīng)濟(jì))center of Britain for nearly 2,000 years, so people naturally chose it as the capital. 【4】For example, Brazil's capital used to be Rio de Janeiro, which is a coastal city. Later the capital moved to the island city of Brasilia, partly because coastal cities can be attacked( 攻擊) more easily.

In the case of Indonesia, the new capital was chosen in order to achieve development in different areas. 【5】 By becoming the new capital, it can expect faster economic growth.

A. But this will change soon.

B. That is how important the capital is.

C. Some countries have several capitals.

D. Kalimantan is an underdeveloped area.

E. Maybe we got the right ideas because of that.

F. Sometimes, capitals are chosen for safety reasons.

G. The leaders of a country usually work and live in the capital as well.
