Usually when people still have some grapes in their mouths，they look at each other and start to laugh．This tradition started in Spain long ago．One year，when there were a lot of grapes，the king of Spain decided to give grapes to everybody to eat on New Year’s Eve．

    C．Angela from Brazil

    In all cities in Brazil，we have a big party on New Year’s Eve，especially in Rio de Janeiro．People in this city go to the beaches to watch fireworks（焰火）．We put flowers in the sea and think about things we want for ourselves or others．We usually wear white clothes for good luck during the New Year．

    What are you going to do if you are in a burning house? How will you escape? Do you know how to save yourself? Please read the following passage．

    Escaping from a fire is a serious matter．Knowing what to do during a fire can save your life．It is important to know the ways you can use and show them to everyone in the family，such as stairways（楼梯）and fire escapes，but not lifts．

    From the lower floors of the buildings，escaping through windows is possible．Learn the best way of leaving by windows with the least chance of serious injury（受伤）．

    The second floor window is usually not very high from the ground．Of course，it is safer to jump a short way than to stay in a burning building．

    Windows are also useful when you are waiting for help．Be sure to keep the door closed．Or smoke and fire may be drawn into the room．Keep your head low at the window to be sure you get fresh air rather than smoke that may leak（渗）into the room．

    On a second or third floor，the best windows for escape are those that open onto a roof．From the roof a person can drop to the ground more safely．Dropping onto hard ground might end in injury．Bushes（灌木丛）and grass can help to break a fall（使势头减弱）．

61．It is important to ________．

     A．put out the big fire in the burning house     B．jump off a high burning house

     C．know the ways to escape from the fire          D．keep the door open

     A．if there are no bushes on the ground      B．if you live on a lower floor

     C．if you live on a higher floor  D．if you have no rope
