The salmon (大馬哈魚) is a very strange fish. It is born in a river. But the young salmon takes 2 years to swim down the rivers towards the Pacific Ocean. For another 2 years it lives in the sea and becomes full grown. Then it returns to the river where it was born.

  A grownup salmon weighs about 25 pounds and is nearly three feet long. The female salmon will not lay the eggs (產(chǎn)卵) in the Pacific Ocean. When it is almost time to lay them,both male and female salmon begin a great journey. Each salmon is heading for the river where it was born. A salmon may be a thousand miles from where its life began,yet it is able to return to that place.

  As the salmon swim,larger fish attack (襲擊) them. The salmon are food for some other fish. Some are caught by fishermen. The salmon that are left keep swimming.

  After they enter the rivers,they head upstream (向上游) .If rocks and waterfalls (瀑布) are in their way,the salmon leap (^) over them. A salmon can leap up a fall as high as ten feet. It leaps by swimming at full speed under water,then rising to the surface. Almost the whole body of a salmon is made of muscle (肌肉) .It is these powerful muscles that make the salmon fit for fast swimming,turning quickly,and leaping high out of the water.

  Some reach their river in summer,others in the early autumn. They have come hundreds,even thousands of miles and it has taken them weeks and months.

  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 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 and fire escapes,but not lifts.

  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 leaked (滲) 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 cement (水泥) might end in injury. Bushes (灌木叢) and grass can help to break a fall.
