Li Lu’ou thought he did the right thing by calling 110 when he saw his two classmates in trouble on the corner of a dark street.

Li and his classmates from No.2 Middle School affiliated to Beijing Normal University spent this year’s Valentine’s Day(情人节) selling roses on the street. As night approached, they cycled back with over 200 yuan in their pockets.

Suddenly, a gang of robbers jumped out at them. The five robbers were tall and strong, so Li ran away to call the police. He thought it would be the most practical thing to do and he was right. His classmates returned safe and sound.

So, what would you have done in Li’s situation? Would you have got off your bike and fought the robbers to rescue your friends?

A new Beijing student code(守则) does not encourage you to risk(冒险) your life to help them.

The new code was introduced to more than 1.7 million primary and middle school students in the city at the start of the new term.

It has cut words which might encourage youngsters to risk their lives for others in dangerous situations. Gone are the old calls, which had been in place since 1987, for students to “fight criminals(犯罪分子) courageously” and “sacrifice themselves to save other”. Children’s heroic acts usually left them injured or even dead because they failed to fully foresee the dangers of their actions.

A well-known example was Lai Ning, who was listed among the “top 10 model young pioneers” in 1989 after he lost his life trying to put out a fire at the age of 14.

The deaths connected to teenagers “heroic acts” started a national wide debate(争论) about the protection of youngsters.

Wei Lusheng, a parent in Beijing, said schools must first teach children how to protect themselves, before learning from heroes.

But educators thought the spirit of courage should not be thrown away in the new student code.

“Getting rid of the ‘fight criminals courageously’ words do not mean we deny the spirit of ‘fearlessness’ and ‘readiness’ to help others”, said Li Jing, an official in Beijing. “But, we should be more rational(理智的) about the spirit of sacrifice.”

Li Lu’ou agreed. “Cherishing life is no reason to be a coward,” he said. “But you need to おmake sure you are able to offer help. For example, it would cause more trouble if I jumped into water to rescue someone drowning, but didn’t know how to swim. In that situation it’s better to call the police or an adult.”

　　Fire can help people in many ways. But it can also be very harmful. Fire can heat water, warm your houses, give light, and cook food. But fire can burn things too. It can burn trees, houses, animals, or people. Sometimes big fires can burn forests.

　　Nobody knows for sure how people began to use fire. But there are many interesting, old stories about the first time a man or woman started a fire. One story from Australia tells about a man a very, very long time ago. He went up to the sun by a rope and brought fire down.

　　Today people know how to make a fire with matches. Children sometimes like to play with them. But matches can be very dangerous. One match can burn a piece of paper, and then it might burn a house. A small fire can become a big fire very fast.

　　Fires kill many people every year. So you must be careful with matches. You should also learn to put out fires. Fires need oxygen. Without oxygen they die. There is oxygen in the air.
