新语篇 操作指南 Changing a light bulb can be dangerous. With some lights you cannot be sure whether the power is on or off. Before changing a light bulb, follow these tips.
You will need:
• A replacement light bulb. Know beforehand if the fitting needs a screw-mount(螺口) or a bayonet-mount(插口) bulb.
• A ladder or a strong object to stand on, such as a wooden box, if the bulb is in a high ceiling.
• An assistant, if the light bulb has to be removed from a high-ceiling fitting.
Note: Change the bulb during daylight so that you can clearly see what you are doing.
Step 1 Make sure to turn off the light or lamp on the wall. You then know that the light will not be turned on—it can be surprising and dangerous if the light comes on in your hands as you plug(插入) the new bulb in!
Step 2 If you are replacing a working bulb with another type of bulb, allow a hot bulb to cool before touching it.
Step 3 If you have to use a ladder for an overhead light, have an assistant hold the ladder steady. The assistant can take the removed bulb and pass up the replacement bulb, which saves unnecessary messing around while you are on the ladder.
Step 4 For bayonet-fitting bulbs: Using your hand, put a little upward pressure on the glass bulb, and turn it anticlockwise(逆时针旋转) (as you look up at it). It will unlock the bulb shank from the metal frame. The bulb will come out downwards.
For screw-fitting bulbs: Grasp the bulb firmly and turn anticlockwise until it is freed from the socket.
Step 5 Insert a replacement bulb lightly
and firmly into the socket, and turn it clockwise until it's snug. It is the opposite process to removing a bulb.
Step 6 Turn the light on to check that the bulb works and it has been correctly installed.
Step 7 Deal with the used bulb properly. Old bulbs are not recycled with other glass.
1. What is the main reason for following these instructions?
A. Safety.
B. Convenience.
C. Speed.
D. Quality.
2. To change a light bulb in a high ceiling, a second person is required to .
A. make sure to turn off the power before starting
B. test the new bulb after the old bulb has been replaced
C. be sure of the safety and effectiveness of the person on the ladder
D. get medical help in case of an accident or emergency
3. To remove a bayonet-type light bulb, you first have to .
A. unlock the bulb shank from the metal frame
B. apply upward pressure on the bulb
C. turn the bulb in an anticlockwise direction
D. turn the bulb firmly in a clockwise direction
4. What is the best title for this passage?
A. How to Change a Light Bulb
B. How to Climb a Ladder
C. How to Recycle an Old Bulb
D. How to Hold a Ladder

The Lantern Festival, also known as Yuanxiao Festival, is a Chinese festival with a long history. It falls on the fifteenth day of the first month of the Chinese lunar calendar. How do you usually celebrate it? Some of you might go to Yuyuan Garden Lantern Fair in Shanghai. In 2025, the Nine-Turn Bridge was lined with lanterns of the dragon and its animal friends. It was crowded with people. Everyone wanted to take pictures.
Do you know how these colourful lanterns are made? He Weifu has the answer. He is a skilled lantern maker in Shanghai. To make a lantern, he first straightens some iron wires(铁丝) and covers them with coloured paper. Then, he uses them to make the skeleton(骨架) for an animal lantern. This, according to He, is the most difficult step. He often spends a long time studying the animal. After making the skeleton, he puts paste(糨糊) on silk cloth to stiffen(使变得硬挺) it. The last step is to glue the cloth on the skeleton and draw patterns.
His family has been making lanterns for 100 years. His grandfather, He Keming, was the "King of Lanterns" in the Jiangnan area. He started making lanterns at the age of 13. One day, he went to see a Lantern Festival show. A dragon lantern caught the boy's eye. He looked at it carefully and tried to make one for himself. He practised this craft all his life. His lanterns were very popular. Some of them were given as national gifts to visitors from other countries.
Which lantern at 2025's Yuyuan Garden Lantern Fair do you like the best? While you look at it next time, why not try to learn more about the craft of lantern making? Think about how you can help to keep this cultural heritage alive.
