Jack was a skilled artist with a wife and two sons. One night, his elder son had a stomachache(肚子疼) . Thinking it was only some common intestinal(肠的) disorders, neither Jack nor his wife took it seriously. But the boy died suddenly that night.

Knowing the death could have been avoided if he had only realized the seriousness of the situation, Jack always felt guilty.

Parents are busy today. Sometimes they have to leave their children at home alone. For children, it is important to know how to keep themselves safe when they are at home alone. If you are one of them,what should you do? Let me give you some advice.

If everything appears normal,you should go inside and lock the door quickly. If something seems strange inside, you should ask your neighbour for help and call the police.

If someone knocks at the door, you should identify the visitor before you open the door. This can be done by saying, "Yes, who is it?" You can also look through the peephole to see if you know the visitor. If you don't know the person very well, don't open the door.

You should not allow strangers to enter the house or give out any information about your family. You should be polite when you talk with the stranger, but remain behind the closed door.
