( A )
A crow(乌鸦) is about twenty inches(英寸) long and black all over. Crows are dirty birds because they live on bad food. Crows eat a lot of waste food. In this way they are more useful to us than any birds. They clean up the dirty things in our streets. Crows are always hungry. They look for food all day, and in the evening you can see them in large numbers flying back to their nests(巢) in the trees. They sleep there at night.
Crows are much noisier than other birds. Very often a large number of crows will get together on one house and talk. Sometimes they talk together, and sometimes they do it by turns(轮流) like human beings(人类). It is easy to tell(判断) from crow’s sound if they are pleased or angry. Perhaps crows talk a lot because they are friendly birds. A pair of crows will live together all their lives, and if one of them dies, the other one becomes very sad and quiet for the rest of its life and some time later it dies too.

People know the danger of fires. It is good for a family to learn how to prepare for a fire. Here are some suggestions (建议).
Put a smoke alarm(警报) in the house. The alarm makes a loud sound when there is too much smoke in the house. The sound tells everyone to leave the house at once.
Make escape (逃脱) plans. They should know all the way out of the house. If there is a fire, everyone follows the plan to get out. One part of the plan is to check all the windows to make sure they can be opened easily.
Buy fire extinguishers(灭火器) in the house. Everyone in the family should know how to use them. Practise for a fire. Parents do fire practice because they teach children about fire safety. Everyone in the family should know the following fire rules.
