A full-time staff of fire prevention 【小题1】 (professional) are employed by the University of Adelaide. They inspect all campus buildings and test all the fire units 【小题2】 (make) sure they are in good condition. They also teach the students how to maintain and use the fire units【小题3】 case a fire happens.

There are two kinds of fire alarm systems: manual and automatic. For the 【小题4】 (safe) of everyone, these systems shouldn’t 【小题5】 (touch) casually. False fire alarms are 【小题6】 (legal) and may lead to imprisonment.

Fire drills must be treated 【小题7】 (serious) and all students must know how to escape a fire safely and quickly.

Another common device is fire extinguishers, 【小题8】 are located on each floor and in each apartment. They must be used correctly 【小题9】 else will result in damage to others. Smoke detectors and heat detectors, 【小题10】 (fix) on the ceilings, are also familiar to us. Students must watch out for the red light on each of them and inform the hall staff if the red light is out.

It is sad but true that people die in earthquakes from falling furniture and bricks. Earthquake【小题1】(safe) is very important and there is more to it than just prevent buildings【小题2】falling down. So if your home is in【小题3】earthquake area, you should prepare carefully before the earthquake comes.

First, make sure you buy a house which is earthquake safe. All pipes should【小题4】(fix) to the wall and all walls should be especially thick and strong. You also have to make sure that there are bolts (螺栓) underneath your house. They are one of the most important ways of protecting a house.

Second, look at the objects in your house. 【小题5】are most likely to hurt us are appliances in the living room, such as computers, televisions. They can be tied to tables or stuck to them so they won’t【小题6】(easy) move around. When【小题7】(decorate) the kitchen, you must ensure all the cupboards have strong doors. This is the place【小题8】many small things are stored that might fall down. Windows are a special problem. When they breaks glass can cause many accidents. It is better【小题9】(use) earthquake-safe glass if you can.

Remember, it is better to be safe【小题10】sorry.

Kilauea has been erupting almost without stopping since 1983. It is one of the world’s most 【小题1】 (close) observed volcanoes. Most of these observations took place at the Hawaiian Volcano Observatory on Kilauea’s highest point, from 【小题2】 researchers now have to withdraw. But the 【小题3】 (late) eruption is one of the biggest and could provide scientists 【小题4】 a lot of new information.

Scientists from the Hawaiian Volcano Observatory and University of Hawaii are studying 【小题5】 the molten (熔化的) rock beneath the earth flows through a series of cracks (缝隙) under Kilauea before 【小题6】 (send) flying into the air. They want to learn what warning signs may exist for future eruptions to better protect Hawaii’s 【小题7】 (community).

Hundreds of small earthquakes caused by the eruptions have damaged the structure of the Hawaiian Volcano Observatory. So the scientists were forced 【小题8】 (take) the equipment and records out of the building and moved 【小题9】 (they) to the University of Hawaii. The records include 【小题10】 (science) information and photos that are more than 100 years old.
