Question

What are you going to do if you are in a burning house? How will you escape（逃脱）? 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 about the ways you can use, such as stairways or fire escapes but not lifts. And more importantly, show them to everyone in your family.

From the lower floors of the buildings, escaping through windows is possible. So learning the best way of leaving by windows with the least chance of serious injury is quite necessary.

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 the smoke and fire may spread into the room. Keep your head low at the window to be sure you get the fresh air rather than the smoke that may leaked（渗）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（水泥）might end in injury. Bushes and grass can help to break a fall.
