Section III. Read the following passage and choose the suitable word to fill in the blank
easily happen drops sweets shock themselves with way
because accidents anything dangerous catches control them children
Many thousands of children have accidents in their homes. As a result, some children die. The most common accidents (1) are with fire and hot water. Small children often touch pots of boiling water on the stove. The pots fall over and the hot water falls on the children and burns them. (2) Some children like to play with (3) fire. They enjoy striking matches or throwing things on a fire to make it burn brightly. If a fire gets too big, it gets out of control (4). Then the house catches (5) fire. It is very dangerous (6) to play with matches. When a child strikes a match, the flame soon burns near his fingers. Then he drops (7) the match on the floor. Many houses catch fire in this way. (8)
Some kinds of clothing burn very easily (9). Many children (10) have been badly burned because they have stood near a fire and their clothing has suddenly caught fire.
Although fire and hot water cause most accidents in the home, many children cut themselves (11) with knives. Others get an electric shock (12). Some children are made very ill from taking their parents’ medicine. Many small children have to go to hospital every year because they thought a box of medicine was a box of sweets (13).
There is only one good way to see to it so that accidents do not happen (14) in the home: do not touch anything (15) that is dangerous.
Read the passage then answer the following questions:
"I will think of it."It is easy to say this; but do you know what great things have come from thinking? We can not see our thouhts, or hear, or taste, or feel them;and yet what mighty power they have! Sir Isac Newton was seated in his garden on a summer's evning, when he saw an appe fall from a tree. He began to think, and, in trying to find out why the apple fell, discoveed how the earth, sun, moon, and stars are kept in their places. A boy named James Watt sat quitly by the firside, watching the lid of the tea kette as it moved up and down. He began to think; he wanted to find out why the steam in the kettle moved the heavy lid. From that time he went on thinking and thinking; and when he became a man, he improved the steam engine so much that it could, with the greatest ease, do the work of many horses. When you see a steamboat, a steam mill, or alocomotive, remember that it would never have been built if it had not been for the hard thinking of someone. A man named Galileo was once standing in the cathedral of Pisa, when he saw a chandelier swaying to and fro. This set him thinking, and it led to the invention of thependulum. James Ferguson was a poor Scotch shepherd boy. Once, seeing the inside of a watch, he was filled with wonder. "Why should I not make a watch?" thought he. But how was he to get the materials out of which to make the wheels and the mainspring? He soon found how to get them: he made the mainspring out of a piece of whalebone. He then made a wooden clock which kept good time. He began, also, to copy pictures with a pen, and portraits with oil colors. In a few years, while still a small boy, he earned money enough to support his father. When he became a man, he went to London to live. Some of the wisest men in England, and the king himself, used to attend his lectures. His motto was, "I will think of it;" and he made his thoughts useful to himself and the world.When you have a difficult lesson to learn, don't feel discouraged, and ask someone to help you before helping yourselves.Think, and by thinking you will learn how to think to some purpose.
