Now we are always hearing about road accidents and when we are in a car we try to drive carefully, })ut how many of tls take the same degree of care in our homes? Any large hospital will tell you the number of accidents that happen in the home is almost the same as those on the road. I don't pretend to be an expert, but I've thought a lot alx)ut how and why these accidents happen and what we can do to prevent them.

   One of the commonest and most dangerous causes of home accidents is wrong and careless use of electrical equipment. People will continue to use a loose plug or pull out a plug (插頭) without first turning off the power. In spite of warnings, one will carry an electric heater (電爐) into the bathroom when be is going to have a bath. Sometimes one forgets to cut off the power before repairing a lamp or something else. All this will cause accidents. So the rule about anything that works by electricity is: Switch off before your touch anything and don' t pretend you know when you actually don't.

   If you've got children in the house, it' s always best to keep medicines of any kind out of their reach. Otherwise, they may be taken for candies or a new kind of drink. When there are older people living with you, you have to take particular care in a number of ways in order to make them safe and happy.

    Fire, of course, is always a risk. So, remember not to dry clothes in front of fires, or leave  stoves in the middle of rooms where they can easily be knocked over. And don' t forget to keep  the children away from fire. Smoking, tm, may cause fire. So you'd better give it up.

   Safety first may mean a little more time and care, but it may save you a lot of trouble.

59. The writer thinks the reason why there are so many accidents in our homes is that we are .

   A. less careful in our homes than in a car

   B. more careful in our homes than in a car

   C. as careful in our homes as in a car

   D. not so careful in a car as in our homes

60. The writer advises you ......... about the use of electrical equipment.

   A. to appear as if you know everything

   B. to pretend that you don't know anything

   C. to pretend that you know everything.

   D. not to think you know everything

61. It's best to keep medicines in places that children ca't ............

   A. get on       B. get to       C. get in      I). get over

62. One way to) prevent fires at home is to ......... .

  A. leave stoves in the middle of the rooms

  B. dry clothes near stoves

  C. tell children to stay away from fire

D. smoke away from fires

完形填空

  Many people see a person who can't read or spell as disabled, but what does disabled really mean? Well, with Andrew Mertzit of Maryland it meant he would not be 1 to attend his school any more. Andrew's 2 is that whenever he is reading, he sees the letters p, d, q and b as a 3 and stick. Since Andrew's teachers couldn't 4 him much, Suzanne, Andrew's mother decided to take 5 in her own hands. She decided to home school Andrew. In ten months, Suzanne, a trained reading specialist tried many different 6 to help Andrew with his disability. She helped Andrew with making letters out of sand, rice and shaving cream. Now, about nine years later Andrew is 7 having some problems with reading, but certainly a lot better than before.

  Lately researchers have been finding many different ways to help learning disabled students by 8 things like rice and shaving cream or even to get little computers. Also, nowadays there are schools all over that have programs to help disabled kids, unlike back in 1995 when Andrew had to be 9 schooled by his mother. But to help disabled students it takes about $ 8.12 billion. You probably think that's a lot of money, but if you 10 that in 1996 there were about 2.6 million kids who were disabled, it may not seem all that 11 . Even though a person may have a learning disability at a certain subject, like reading, it does not mean that he or she doesn't have a talent(才能)at something else. For example, 15 years ago when Joey Hollingsworth entered kindergarten, teachers said that Joey was very clever. Once Joey started getting 12 , his grades got lower. Lots of people just thought he was 13 and had discipline(紀(jì)律)problems. Many years later he finally was 14 for learning disabilities and found out he really did have a disability.

  Still many people believe kids like Joey who can't read or write are lazy. It's hard to understand that 15 a person doesn't look disabled, he can have problems with learning, and it's even harder for the 16 . But now they are getting close to understanding how learning disabilities start. Brain researchers have some new equipment. These machines 17 pictures of the brain while in 18 . They're learning a lot already by examining the brains of the people who have been 19 and who have learning disabilities. It is reported that some of these damaged brain cases are 20

like the picture we see all the time on the learning-disabled cases where we don't know the cause.
