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 yourself. It is important to know the ways you can use and to 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 through windows with the least chance of serious injury (伤害).
The second floor window is usually not very high from the ground. An average person, hanging by the finger-tips (手指尖) will have a drop of about six feet to the ground. It is about the height of an average man. 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 have leaked (泄露) into the room.
On a second or third floor, the best windows for escape are those which open onto a roof (屋顶). From the roof a person can drop to the ground more safely. Dropping onto cement (水泥) might end in injury. Bushes and grass can help to break a fall.

解析：
【小题1】A。从句子It is important to know the ways you can use and show them to everyone in the family,…可知，当房子着火后，最重要的是你要知道the ways to escape the fire(逃生方式)，故答案选A。
【小题1】C。在短文的第2段说到…from the lower floors of building escaping through windows is possible。故选C。
【小题1】B。在短文中特别强调在大火发生时，人们可以从 stairways 和 fire escapes逃生, but not lifts(但不能从电梯)，因为那是相当危险的。
【小题1】A。在短文的第5段提到了可…keep your head low at the window to be sure you get fresh air…可知。
【小题1】B。通读全文后，短文的大意很明显，在着火的大楼中自救的方法应是短文的主题，故选B。
