2. children of all ages fall and hurt themselves from time to time. luckily most falls aren’t serious, but some can cause severe injuries, such as head injuries.
for babies, the danger is rolling off the edge of something like a bed, chair, table or kitchen worktop.
toddlers(初學走路的孩子) soon learn to climb and explore. to them, climbing on furniture(家具) doesn’t seem dangerous. it’s just fun. but it is very easy for a toddler to fall off a piece of furniture, or down the stairs, or even out of a window or off a balcony.
with older children, adventure (冒險) accidents are a problem. climbing trees, high walls, or fences can be dangerous.
3. every year children die in house fires and many more are badly burnt. a cigarette, for example, can easily start a fire. and many fires are started by children playing with matches.
but of course it’s not only fires that cause burns. there are things in every home that can burn a child badly－a hot iron (熨斗), for example, or an electric fire.
4. children love playing with water. whether it’s in the bath at bed time or in the garden pond or in the sea, water is fun. but it is also dangerous. a baby or toddler can drown in every shallow water－far less than you put in the bath.
5. glass causes the most serious cuts. few people realize just how serious glass cuts are. yet every year about 7,000 children end up in hospital because of accidents with glass. these are not only accidents with things like broken bottles. more often the children have fallen through a glass door or window and are badly hurt.
a. burns
b. fires
c. scalds
d. drowning
e. falls
f. cuts
