【第一篇】

A fire drill is, to put it mildly, an inconvenient exercise at the best of times. A fire drill at 2: 00 in the morning in terrible weather conditions, like the one we had on Thursday night and Friday morning last, is incomparably more inconvenient. This is why writing this note to thank you all most sincerely for your excellent co-operation and the spirit with which you endured the inconvenience.

A fire drill is not an idle exercise. It is an extremely serious one and can, in fact, save lives in the long run. Last week fire drill has already reyealed a number of important things regarding fire precautions in the Hall. For instance, there seem to exit a number of "deaf spots" in the Hall, namely, the two rooms in Purser House and some rooms in the Bottom corridor. I have no reason to doubt that residents from these areas could not hear the alarm. I shall request an immediate examination of this problem.

I should, also, remind you that it is a requirement that fire drills should be regularly carried out (at least two in every one year.and each resident should be made fully aware of this and obliged to take part. All residents must take fire precautions with the seriousness they deserve. Failure to do so can result bin fines and expulsion(驅(qū)逐.from the Hall. Thank you again for your co-operation.

【第二篇】

Accidents are caused; they don't just happen. The reason may be easy to see: a shelf out of reach, a patch of ice on the misfortune—frustration, tiredness or just bad temper—that show what the accident really is, a sort of attack on oneself.

Road accidents, for example, happen frequently after a family quarrel, and we all know people who are accident-prone, so often at odds with themselves and the world that they seem to cause accidents for themselves and others.

By definition, an accident is something you can not predict or avoid, and the idea which used to be current, that the majority of road accidents are caused by a minority of criminally careless drivers, is not supported by insurance statistics. These show that most accidents involve ordinary motorists in a moments of carelessness or thoughtlessness.

It is not always clear, either, what sort of conditions make people more likely to have an accident. For instance, the law requires all factories to take safety precautions and most companies have safety committees to make sure the regulations are observed, but still, every day in Britain, some fifty thousand men and women are injured from work due to accidents. These accidents are largely the result of human error or misjudgment—noise and fatigue, boredom or worry are possible factors which contribute to this. Doctors who work in factories have found that those who drink too much, usually people who have a high anxiety level, run three times the normal risk of accidents at work.

16. The passage suggests that________.

A.Accidents are usually caused by psychological factors.

B.Accidents mostly result from slippery roads.

C.Drinkers run three times the normal risk of accidents in factories.

D.About 50 000people lose their lives at work in Britain every day.

答案：A

17.Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a factor of accidents?

A.Mood.

B.Tiredness.

C.Carelessness

D.Weather

答案：D

18. The word “accidents-prone”(L.2 Para.2)means________.

A.likely to have accidents

B.injured in accidents

C.possible to die in accidents

D.responsible for road accidents

答案：A

19. What can we infer about the author opinion of accidents?

A.Safety precautions are of little use in accidents.

B.Many accidents can and should be avoided.

C.Factory accidents , unlike road accidents, are inevitable.

D.Most road accidents are caused by just a few careless drivers.

答案：B

20. The best title for the passage would be __________.

A.Accidents and Anxiety

B.How to Deal with Accidents on Road and in Factories

C.Human Factors in Accidents

Packaging is, very important form of advertising., package can sometimes motivate people to buy products.

Pictures for children to color or cut out, games printed on, package, or, small gift inside, box also motivate many children to buy products, or to ask their parents to buy for them.

Some packages suggest that, buyer will get something for nothing. Food products sold in reusable containers are examples of this. Although, similar product in plain container might cost less, people often prefer to buy the product in, reusable glass or dish, because they believe the container is free. However, the cost of the container is added to the cost of the product.

The size of, package also motivates, buyer. Maybe the package has"Economy Size" or "Family Size" printed on it. This suggests that the larger size has the most product for the least money. But that is not always true. To find it out,, buyer has to know how the product is sold and the price of the basic unit.

The information on the package should provide some answers. But the important thing for any buyer to remember is that, package is often an advertisement. The words and pictures do not tell the whole story. Only the product inside can do that.
