By Five-year-old Pepper has learned to open windows and let himself out every night by hopping onto a kitchen worktop and using his paws to turn the latch.
So when a fire broke out while his owners were Christmas shopping,the quickthinking puss leapt into action and opened the window to allow the acrid smoke to escape.
The billowing cloud of ash alerted neighbours,and firefighters rushed to the scene and ex?tinguished the blaze before it spread to the rest of the house.
Owner Sharon White said, "He first did it (opened the window) at a dinner party,and everyone was applauding him. I think it spurred him on. He can climb back in through the win?dow by jumping diagonally onto the ledge as well,so he really does come and go as he pleases."
Sharon and her husband Phil were handed Pepper over four years ago after a neighbour could no longer look after it. Pepper developed a "fierce independent streak" and would often leave the house for days on end.
The dramatic fire started at 4p. m. on Saturday after the couple nipped to the shops and left their microwave on a ten minute timer,which then caught fire.
Sharon said , " We put something in the microwave for ten minutes and then popped out to do our Christmas shopping in the local town. I discovered on the way that I had left my purse at home but decided not to turn around. It was my sister-in-law who lives next door that rang us about two hours into our trip and said , ' You had better get home as there is quite a lot of smoke coming out of your house and the fire brigade are here. ' We are thankful our neighbours did not just dismiss the smoke as a bonfire."
Firefighters rushed to their £ 350,000 house and extinguished the flames before they could spread,and the kitchen suffered only smoke damage. There was some damage to the kitchen,but it was isolated,so nothing serious happened compared to what it could have been.
"He's got a real mind of his own and is usually a bit of a pain. But on this occasion we're grateful,as without him and our neighbours,the fire could have been so much worse."

Onions make you cry,add flavor to food and are praised for their medical benefits. Now the vegetable has another use―powering up green energy.
A new system was first used on Friday that converted onion juice into electricity at Gills Onions,the largest fresh onion processor in the United States.
The Oxnard,Californiabased company expects its new onionfueled power to reduce its electric bill by $700,000 a year and cut its annual greenhouse gas emissions by up to 30 ,000 tons.
The happy ending to this green energy tale,however,started with another question：how to get rid of onion waste.
"When we peel an onion,35 to 40 percent of the onion comes off before we have a usable onion. That's the top,tail and skin around the onion before you get to the meat," said Steven Gill,coowner of the 25-year-old company.
They used to put the waste into the fields for composting,but that became a problem. Ten years ago,Gill started looking at technology for a solution.
"We ended up cutting up the skins as they come out of the plant and extracting all the juice,which is very high in sugars,and bacteria love that stuff," Gill said.
In the new system,bacteria produce methane gas from the juice. The gas then goes to two 300-kilowatt fuel cells,creating enough power for 460 homes. The company expects to get 35-40 percent of its electricity from the onsite generator.
The company invested $9. 5 million in the project and will receive $ 2. 7 million from Southern California Gas Co.，as part of a state program to encourage selfcontained generation by businesses. In addition to cutting its electric bill,the company will save $400,000 in trans?port expense and expects payback in six years.

D. The juice extracted from onion is low in sugar.

A. the researchers are trying to get rid of bacteria in onion
B. Steven Gill is 25 years old
C. it is the bacteria that helps to produce energy from the juice

Next week,I will travel to Europe to attend the G8 summit. At this meeting,the leaders of industrialized nations will discuss ways to advance trade,fight disease,promote development that works,increase access to education,and address the longterm challenge of global climate change.
When we help lift societies out of poverty,we create new markets for American goods and new jobs for American workers. When we help reduce disorder and suffering,we make America safer,because prosperous nations are less likely to breed (繁殖) violence and export terror.
On Tuesday,America took new action to address the ongoing genocide (种族大屠杀) in Darfur. On my orders,the Department of Treasury tightened our existing economic sanctions (制裁) against Sudan and imposed additional ones. The people of Darfur have suffered long enough. We will not ignore a crisis that challenges the conscience of the world.
On Wednesday,the United States demonstrated leadership on another crisis affecting Africa . HIV/AIDS. In2003,my Administration launched a$15 billion Emergency Plan for AIDS relief,and I've asked Congress to double our plan for HIV/AIDS prevention to$30 billion over the next five years.
On Thursday,I announced three new initiatives (措施) that will help the developing world. The first initiative is a new project called the Africa Financial Sector Initiative. This initiative will help bring African nations the technical assistance they need and it will encourage the international financial community to promote up to$1 billion of new private investment in Africa.
The second initiative is to help more of the world's poorest children get an education. My Administration has provided about$300 million to improve educational opportunities throughout that continent. Now,with the support of Congress,we will devote$525 million over the next five years to help provide a quality basic education for up to four million children in poor nations.
The third initiative is a proposal to help developing nations meet their growing energy needs while protecting the environment and addressing the challenge of global climate change.
In all these endeavors,the American people can be proud of our global leadership and generosity. Our Nation is delivering aid and comfort to those in need. We're helping expand opportunity across the world. We're laying the foundation for a more peaceful and hopeful future for all our citizens.
