A
People know the dangers of fires. It’s good for a family to know some knowledge about fire prevention. Here are some suggestions:
Put a smoke alarm in the house. Smoke from a fire causes the alarm to go off. The alarm makes a loud sound. The sound tells everyone to leave the house at once.
Make escape plans. They should know all the ways out of the house. If there is fire, everyone follows the plan to get out. Part of the plan is to check all the windows to make sure they can be opened easily.
Buy fire extinguishers(灭火器) and put them in the house. Everyone in the family should know how to use them.
Practice for a fire. They do fire practice because they teach children about fire safety. Everyone in the family should know the following fire rules:
*Don’t open a hot door! The fire can get bigger if you open the door.
*Stay close to the floor! Smoke can be more dangerous than fire. The best air is near the floor because smoke rises.
*What will you do if your hair or clothes start to burn? First, stop! Don’t run! The fire burns faster because of more air. Drop! Fall to the floor. Then roll! Turning over and over will make the fire go out. Put a blanket around you to put out any flames still burning on you. The blanket stops air feeding the fire.
There are many possible causes of fires. A wise family is ready all the time. If there is a fire, don’t forget to call 119 for help.

Efron didn’t begin in a show business family—far from it.
“I lived a normal childhood in a middle-class family. When I was younger, I didn’t even know this business existed.”
It was Efron’s dad who first found his son’s talent in the acting world and encouraged him to do school musicals like many other kids. For a while, it was like any normal scenario（剧本）where the talented son impresses family and friends with his accomplishments(成就). But later on, some of the professionals started noticing the nice young man. Agents crowded in to make the kid a worldwide star.
The successful comedy Hairspray (2007) put Efron in the public eye. There is no doubt that his early performance in High School Musical made him a great star to begin with.
“We made the movie with low expectations,” he now admits. “And at first, there was no phenomenon (轰动). But then, suddenly, there we were, on all kinds of American programmes.”
Today, High School Musical 2 has turned out to be one of the hottest sequels(续集) that came out this summer.
Right now, Efron admits “I am one lucky guy to have landed in such great projects.” But he is also happy about the success of the High School Musical series and Hairspray for another reason, “They tell kids that what’s really important in life is following your dreams and truly being yourself.”
“If it happens to me, then, it can happen to anybody.” Efron said.
60. What does the underlined sentence mean?
A. Efron’s family didn’t do business.
B. None of Efron’s family was ever an actor.
C. Efron’s work had nothing to do with show business.
D. Efron didn’t want to be an actor.
61. Who first discovered Efron’s talent in acting?
A. His father. B. His mother. C. His teacher. D. His agent.
62. What do we know about High School Musical according to the passage?
A. It’s a comedy. B. It made Efron famous.
C. It was expected to be a hit. D. Its sequel (续集) will come out next year.

AAH! The Generation 90s is coming!
Wearing earphones, using complex Net language and constantly text messaging friends, the Gen-90s following the Gen-80s begin to make their world debut (初次露面).

Earphones
These little devices seem to grow on the heads of the Gen-90s. They might lead to MP3, MP4 or MP101 players, giving these young people a plugged-in, cool and perhaps self-addicted look, of course, life is not always music to the ears.
Martian (火星的) language
They have created their own code-like online language. It’s a mixture of English, Japanese and Chinese that perhaps only Martians can understand. This is an imaginative generation, though they need to be careful to keep it out of their term papers.
Self-Portrait（肖像）
Saying “cheese” to their own digital cameras is common for this generation. A little bit of narcissism (自恋) never hurts anyone. It helps them reflect a little on their own lives. But be aware of the risks of posting private photos online.
Text-messaging
