What do different countries do to keep students safe?
Japan
At public primary schools in Japan, earthquake training are held once a month. They teach students safety tips for earthquakes. Regular training helps students escape from earthquake-stricken areas without causing any stampedes (踩踏).
Australia
Most students in Australia take first-aid courses at school. They learn basic first-aid knowledge in the class, such as how to call an ambulance (救护车) and what to do when someone is hurt. The government is trying to make all kids take such courses.
US
Most US school buildings have fire escapes. A fire escape has platforms (平台) with stairs and ladders (梯子) at each floor of a building. They are usually made of steel and built outside of the building. People can get to the fire escape through a special fire-exit door or through a window. It is not a good idea to jump out of a window from higher than two floors. You may hurt yourself.

【推荐1】A tornado(龙卷风)is a kind of strong storm with air which moves in a circle quickly. They can move over 200 miles per hour and cause a lot of damage(损坏). As they move across the land, they can easily pick up cars, trucks, and even houses, and then throw them very far. It is important to find a safe place if a tornado gets close.
A safe place could be a basement(地下室)or the lowest floor. If you are in a home without a basement, try to find a first-floor bathroom or a small room without windows in the middle of your house. You should curl up(蜷缩)into a ball and cover your head and neck with your hands.
But there are some people who actually want to get close to tornadoes. They are scientists who want to learn more about tornadoes. One of the best ways to do this is to get as close as possible to the tornado. They use special tools to measure (测量) what is happening in and around a tornado.
One special tool is called a tornado probe(探测仪). Inside the tornado probe, there are sensors(传感器)to measure wind speed, temperature, pressure, and direction. Some probes even have cameras, so the scientists can see and understand what it’s like to be in a tornado.
To be able to get these measurements, the scientists have to get a tornado probe near or into a tornado. Scientists will try to guess where a tornado will go next. Then they drive to that location and put down the probe. If they do not guess correctly, they pick up their probe and try another place. If they are right, the tornado will go near or even right over the probe. Then they take all of the measurements from the probe and use them to predict where future tornadoes may form(形成)and travel. And they can give people some warning to keep away from a dangerous tornado.

Earthquakes happen very often in Tokyo, but Tokyo is not an unlucky city. Many special parks have been built in Tokyo to keep people safe during earthquakes. These parks look nothing different from the other parks, but when earthquakes happen, they become life-saving places.
Many useful things in those special parks can meet people’s basic needs.
For example, it is usually hard for people to get water after earthquakes. In the special parks, people can get drinking water from the water pump (泵). If people need to use toilets (厕所), they can choose special toilets that can be used without water. Also, the helicopter ( 直 升 机 ) can land on squares or baseball fields and bring food or other things to people. What’s more, if people need to cook in the parks, some special benches can become cooking things.
However, those useful things are not enough for people to face earthquakes. The most important part lies in training people. The parks, together with fire stations and the police, will train with local people at the usual time. This will let people think and move faster during real earthquakes and let them protect themselves better.
So, what can we do to protect ourselves from getting hurt in earthquakes? First, we need to check our furniture and make sure they won’t fall down easily. Second, when an earthquake happens, we need to stay under tables or desks and protect our head. Third, we can keep our door open and wear comfortable shoes during small earthquakes in order to get out safely.

D.People can be safer in the special parks during earthquakes. |

【推荐3】An earthquake is dangerous. But this doesn’t mean you can’t do anything about it. Your choices could help you save your life.
※
※If you are inside a room during an earthquake, hide under a table or a desk.
※If you smell gas(煤气), open a window and get out of the building as quickly as you can. A broken gas line is very dangerous.
※If you are outside, move away from buildings and street lights.
※If you are in a store and far away from the door, do not rush to the door. You will find too many people trying to get out at the same time. You’d better keep calm and find an emergency exit (紧急出口).
※If you are buried in debris(残骸), try to free your hands and legs. You may make noises by clicking rocks. Shouting will use up your energy.

【推荐1】In spring of 2020, schools were closed all over the country because of the coronavirus (冠状病毒). Many teachers and students moved to distance learning (远程学习). This was a big change. During those months, you may miss your friends, teachers and regular parts of the school day. You may even miss the school schedule (时间表).
A school schedule, or routine, is helpful. It tells us when the day begins and when the day ends and how to spend all the hours in between. A schedule has time for learning, playing, eating and taking breaks. Without a routine, a day at home can feel long. So how to make a new schedule for yourself?
First, write down a list of what needs to get done in a day. Next, take note of how much time you need for each activity. Then, decide what time of a day is best to do each thing on your list. Your new routine should make time for work, play and rest.
Write your routine down on paper. Post it somewhere so your family can see it. It helps them know your plan for the day. Look at the paper from time to time. It will keep you on track (未偏离目标). It may take time to know what works best for you. That’s OK. You don’t have to follow your routine minute by minute. You can change things as you go.

“Your victory is not yours alone, but the example of all the girls who don’t want to face pots and pans all their lives.”
—From the movie Dangal
The movie Dangal is popular in China. Everybody likes this movie and many Chinese people are fans of Admir Khan. In this film, he was a wonderful father, Mahavira Singh Pere.
Mahavira was once the champion (冠军) of the Indian national wrestling (摔跤), but forced to give up wrestling because of life pressure. He hoped that his son could help his dreams come true and win gold medals in top-level competitions. Bad news was that his wife gave birth to four girls. When he thought his dream was broken, luckily he found the amazing talents of his daughters. Then he began to train two of his daughters.
The two girls changed the skirts and cut off the long hair. Every day two girls woke up at 5:00 a.m., and it was pretty early for such two young girls. What’s more, they did plenty of exercises, such as running, jumping, skipping, doing wrestling skills and so on. In India, especially in a small village, training girls like this means fighting against the whole world. But Mahavira didn't mind what people thought, he just went ahead.
In the end, both of the two girls became world-class wrestlers.

【推荐3】Soon computers and other machines will be able to remember you by looking at your eyes! The program works because everyone’s eyes are different. So in the future you won’t have to remember a number when you want to use a machine or take money out of a bank. You’ll just have to look at the machine and it will be able to tell who you are.
The eye-recognition (眼睛识别) program has already been tested in shops and banks in the USA, Britain, Spain, Italy and Turkey. Soon this technology (技术) will take the place of all other ways of finding out who people are.
However, scientists are also working on other systems (系统). Machines will soon be able to know you from the shape of your face or hand or even your smell! We already have machines that can tell who you are from your voice or the mark made by your finger.
Eye-recognition is better than other kinds because your eyes don’t change as you get older, or get dirty like hands or fingers. And even twins have different eyes. So the eye-recognition program can be up to 94% correct, depending on how good the technology is. However, some other programs may only be 51% correct at present. In Britain, it was found that 91% of people who had tried it said that they liked the idea of eye-recognition.
In the future your computer will be looking at you in the eye. So smile!
