I live on the twelfth floor of a building. One afternoon I was coming home from a friend’s house. It was just after four o’clock. I got quickly into the lift and pressed Button(按钮) 12.
The lift started to go up, but very slowly. And then, half way up, it suddenly stopped between two floors. I couldn’t understand it. I pressed all the buttons from 1 to 14. I called for help very loudly. But nobody answered.
Then suddenly the lights went out, and I was alone in the dark. I started to cry and beat the walls of the lift. I cried and cried until I had no voice left. Then, I felt hopeless, and pressed all the buttons with my open hands. And all at the same time, there was a bell far away. It rang and rang. It was the fire alarm(火灾警报). I thought the whole building was on fire. I said to the God quietly, “ Just get me out of here. I’ll never be bad again.”
Just then, I realized the lift was moving very slowly. On the ground floor it stopped, and the door opened. A man was standing there. “ How long have you been there? It is good that you pressed the alarm bell. But haven’t you learned to read at your school ?” He pointed at a small piece of paper on the wall beside the lift. It said: “Attention:This lift will be stopped for repairs between 4 pm and 5 pm on Thursday, March 13.”What happened to the lift?
| A．It had a fire accident. | B．It stopped half way. |
| C． It was turned off by the writer. | D．It moved fast up to the top floor. |
As the situation went on, the writer became ________.

Why did a bell ring from far away?

| C．The building was on fire. | D．The writer pressed the fire alarm bell. |
Who most probably made the lift move again and go down to the ground floor?

Accidents often happen. It's necessary for us to remember these tips.
On your way home or to school: Wait for the green traffic light, and look left and right before you cross the road. If you see a car coming, don't cross until it really stops.
At school: Never run around too fast at school. When students around you begin to push, try to hold something. If you fall down in a crowed (拥挤的) place, cover your head with both hands.
When there's a fire: Keep quiet and leave quickly. Use a piece of wet cloth to cover your mouth and nose so that you don't breathe in smoke. If your clothes catch fire, drop to the ground and roll (滚动) from side to side to put out the fire.
For eating: Wash fruit like apples or pears carefully before you eat it. And if your food looks or smells bad, don't eat it.
