Your home is a safe place, right? Think again.

     Many serious accidents happen in people's homes. Could you please prevent these accidents? Yes. Many accidents happen because people are careless. So be careful! Here are some tips about safety.

    ·Don't stand on chairs. Many people may fall off chairs and hurt themselves.

    ·Keep the floor dry, and you won't slip (滑) or fall.

    ·Be away from matches. Even a cigarette (香煙) can easily start a fire. Don't use water to put out fires. Use salt instead.

    ·Be careful with knives! Many people cut themselves in the kitchen. Never touch the broken bottles, doors  or windows. Glass can also cause the most serious cuts.

    ·Don't keep poisons (毒藥) in the kitchen.

    ·Never use electrical appliances (電器設(shè)備) in the shower. Dry the floor before you use them, or  electricity can hurt you!

    ·Keep children away from hot water and hot drinks. They can be dangerous. But adults often forget it.

    ·Look through the peephole (門鏡) when you hear the knock on the door. Don't let strangers in.

Once a small boy lived on a farm which seemed so far away from everywhere.
He needed to get up before sunrise every morning to help his father on the farm. During sunrise he would .a break and climb up on the fence(籬笆)along the side of the farm. He could see a house with golden windows. “If they could afford golden windows, then there must be other nice things inside the house.” He imagined how great it would be to live there. Then he promised himself, “Some day 1 will go there and see this wonderful place.”
One morning, his father would go to the town and told him to stay at home for a rest. Knowing that this was his chance, he took a sandwich and headed across the field towards the house with the golden windows.
As the afternoon went on, he began to know how wrong he was. The house was much farther than he had expected. As he went near the house, he saw no golden windows but instead a place in bad need of a painting. A small girl very close to his age came out of the poor house and stood by the broken fence. He asked her if she had seen the house with the golden windows. The girl said, “Sure, I know.” and invited him to sit on the porch (門廊).As he sat there, he looked back from where he just came. There he saw the sunset turned the windows of his house to gold! Now he understood that everyone had his own house with golden windows.
