Maggie opened her eyes and looked around to 4 that her dog was all right. Then she felt a great pain in her left leg. And she realized that the car was filled with thick black smoke. She pushed the car door open and tried to get out, but her trousers were caught in 5. That's when Patches proved (证明是) to be a 6 dog hero.
It started biting her trousers until Maggie could pull her leg. Unluckily, that wasn't enough because Maggie 7 couldn't move. Patches grabbed(抓住) her jacket with its teeth and bravely pulled her out of the car. She 8 to the ground, but Patches kept pulling until it made Maggie far away from the car. After a while, the car blew up (爆炸).
Finally, the emergency services 9 and they took Maggie to a hospital.

Being safe in your everyday life needs knowledge(知识). If you remember the following information, your life will be much safer.
Always notice the environment around you. You shouldn't walk
alone outside. Make sure where the public phones are. If anything dangerous
happens 
you can find them easily.
Your bag should be carried towards the front of your body instead of putting it on your back. When a bus is full of people, it is easy enough for a thief to take away the things in the bag on your back.
If you are followed by someone whom you don't know, cross the street and go to the other way, let the person understand that you know he or she is after you. Next, don't go home at once. You are safer in the street than you are alone in your home or in a lift.
If you have to take a bus to a place far away, try to get to the stop a few minutes earlier before the bus leaves. This stops other people from studying you. On the bus, don't sit alone. Sit behind the driver or with other people. Don't sleep.
I used to think courtesy (礼貌) was a thing of the past. However, I changed my mind when I met a courteous man.
Last Saturday, I went to a cafe with my daughters. It was crowded with the usual loud crowd and we had to climb up the stairs to find an empty table. After enjoying coffee and snacks, we were ready to come down the stairs, where the narrow space made climbing down only possible in a single line, with hardly any space for another person to either climb up or come down.
Just as I was in the middle of my descent (下去), a man got to the main entrance (入口) of the cafe which was right in front of the staircase. I was sure I would be pushed by the man who would want to go up in a hurry. Anyway, I kept coming down as fast as I could. My daughters were already down, looking up at me worriedly, hoping I would get down before the stranger went up the stairs.
Nearly getting down, I noticed the man still standing near the door. Later, I passed him at the entrance door which he kept holding open. I looked back thinking he was still at the door, deciding whether to go in or find another less crowded place. However, I saw him going up the stairs, two at a time.
I told my daughters about it and all of us felt bad for we did not even thank the courteous gentleman.

This is not a diet. It's a simple way to lose weight. And you don't have to give up your favorite t food or join a gym. You just follow some habits that thin people have. Keep them, and you'll become thin.
⑴ Wake up
When you wake up in the morning, sit up slowly without using your hands. With legs straight out, bend (弯曲) forward until you feel sore (酸痛) in your back. It will burn about 10 calories (卡路里).
⑵ Start with soup
When you have a meal, order a clear soup, and have it before having the main food. In this way, you'll feel fuller, so you eat less when the main food comes.
⑶ An apple (or more) a day
Apples are full of fiber (纤维) and water, so your stomach will want less. The study shows that people who eat at least three apples a day lose weight.
⑷ Stand up and walk around
Every time you use the mobile phone, stand up and walk around. Heavy people sit on average two and a half hours more than thin people each day. This skill is very important as standing up and walking around will burn 50 or more calories.
Use these skills, and you will have a big weight loss.
In order to deal with the shortage (短缺) of women's restrooms in public places, unisex (不分性别的) public toilets have been introduced into many cities. Will you feel comfortable using such a public toilet? You're welcome to share your ideas.
Cathy (China)
Toilets should be separated into men's and women's. As a woman, I don't want to share the same toilet with men which will make me feel embarrassed. I don't think that making all the toilets unisex can solve this problem.
Mark (Australia)
I think increasing the number of women's toilets is the best choice. I always feel sorry for the ladies as there never seems to be enough toilets and they always have to wait in line.
Roger (the US)
In the United States, there are lots of public unisex toilets. The toilet here is a one-room toilet, so each person can be alone with a locked door. When a woman leaves, a man can go in. In my opinion, it is silly and very ________ for men and women (and kids) to mix together in the same room!
Nick (the UK)
There have been unisex toilets all over London for years. This just isn't a big deal. If the doors offer enough safety and protection, I don't have a problem with it in most situations. In France unisex toilets are also common, and they have been around for years.
When you were young, who (ride) you around on the back of his bike? Who played football and flew kites with you in the park? Who helped you with your (one) difficult maths problems? Who taught you the difference right and wrong? Your dad. Now it is your turn to do something for him. This year, June 16, is Father's Day. So why not do something (thank) your dad?
The idea of Father's Day came from an American lady (call) Sonora Smart Dodd in 1909. She wanted a special day to honor (纪念) her father. He raised (抚养) six children after his wife's (die). Dodd thought there needed to be day to honor great and loving dads. Her father was born in June, she chose to hold the first Father's Day celebration on his birthday in 1910. In 1924, US president Calvin Coolidge liked the idea of a national Father's Day. (final), in 1966, the third Sunday in June was made Father's Day.
There are many ways to show your love and thanks to your father. Sending him a (greet) card or a small present can make him happy. Or you can just say "I love you, Dad."
