　　People know the danger of fires．It’s good for a family to learn how to prepare for a fire．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(逃脫)plans．They should know all the ways out of the house．If there is a 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(滅火器)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 grow more quickly if you open the door．

　�。猄tay close to the floor! Smoke can be more dangerous than fire; the best air is near the floor because smoke rises．

　�。猈hat will you do if you hair or clothes start to burn? First, stop! Don’t run! The fire burns faster because of more air．Drop! Fall to the floor．They roll! Turning over and over will make the fire go out．Put a blanket(毯子)around you to keep air away from the fire that may still be on you．

　　There are many possible causes for firs．A wise family is ready all the time．If there is a fire, don’t forget to call 119 for help．

　　For many years I had a good life．My illness was reasonably(適度的)under control, I had a nice relationship with my husband, I did work, I didn't hate．It was, as I said, a good life．

　　But there's a saying that the good is the enemy of the best．I finally realized this one day, and began making my best life．I changed doctors and tried a new way that could relieve(減輕)my symptoms(癥狀), rather than just making them easier to deal with．I started talking more with my husband and listening to what he had to say．And I quit(辭掉)my job and started working for myself．

　　I have the best life I've ever had．I'd call it great．It is possible there's a better life for me, which would then be my "best life", but for now I don't think so．I've started a business I love．My husband and kids are wonderful．I have a good friend and I'm close to my older sister who lives in town．Could it get better? I suppose so．But for me I think this is the best life I can have right now．

　　Think more about your life．Where are you living? Are you in a job you just don't mind? What makes your life "good"? Why isn't it great? What's the enemy of the best and what can you do about it?

　　Enjoy your best life．We're only here for a short while, and we all need to have the best possible time we can．It's like going to Disney World．If you spend too much time standing in line waiting for the ride, pretty soon your time's up．Get out of the "good" line and have your best life．

　　Online shopping has become something very common for young people, however, it's not easy for the old people to buy things on the internet．Therefore, offline Daigou stores, or buy-for-you stores, are becoming popular among the old．

　　64-year-old man Li Hui'an is searching for his favorite CD in an offline Daigou shop．He says, "It's very convenient to buy things online, however, I can't use the internet．After I happened to find this buy-for-you shop, I decided to try, as I wanted to buy an opera CD．Finally I got one I'd searched for for several years．I was so happy．I have become crazy about offline shopping．"

　　The store owner Liu Min says in order to meet the need of people who want to buy things online but can't use the internet, she started the business of offline buy-for-you．In only about ten days since the start of the business, she has received more than 20 orders from customers(顧客)．Liu Min is not the only one who finds the large need of offline buy-for-you business in the market．In Dalian city, northeast China, more than 300 such stores opened their doors only in April．

　　In order to attract more customers, they have opened their shops in residential communities(居民區(qū))．And they charge a suitable service fee．For example, when buying things that cost less than 200 yuan for customers, they usually charge 5 yuan as service fee．

　　Though the offline buy-for-you service makes it easier for certain people to shop online, what if there is any problem with the ordered thing, let's say, like a quality problem? The shop owners say they will deal with any quality problems that may happen when using their Daigou service．

The best way of learning a language is using it．The best way of learning English is talking in English as much as possible．Sometimes you’ll get your words mixed up and people will not understand you．Sometimes people will say things to quickly and you can’t understand them．But　if you keep your sense of humor(幽默感), you can always have a good laugh at the mistakes you make．Don’t be unhappy if people seem t be laughing at your mistakes．It’s better for people to laugh at your mistakes than to be angry with you, because they don't understand what you are saying．The most important thing for learning English is, “Don’t be afraid of making mistakes because everyone makes mistakes．”
