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.
