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.

1. If a tornado gets close, what should people do to keep safe?
A.Go to a basement.B.Find a small room.
C.Stay in a bathroom.D.Curl the legs up.
2. What can the sensor in a probe NOT do?
A.Measure wind speed and temperature.B.Take photos and videos.
C.Measure wind temperature and pressure.D.Measure wind speed and direction.
3. Which statement about the scientists is TRUE?
A.They risk their lives studying tornadoes.
B.They can easily put the probe in the right place.
C.They get close to a tornado to admire it.
D.With the help of the measurements, they can prevent the tornado forming.
4. The passage mainly tells us ________.
A.what a tornado is
B.how dangerous a tornado is
C.where a tornado may form and travel
D.how scientists do research work on tornadoes
5. You may find this passage in ________.
A.a novelB.a storybookC.a guidebookD.a science magazine

文章大意:本文主要讲述了东京的一些很特殊的公园可以在地震时让人们避难,并满足人们的基本需求,此外还介绍了一些在地震中保护自己的方法。
【推荐2】

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.

1. What can we learn about the special parks from Paragraph 1?
A.The special parks can stop earthquakes.
B.There aren’t enough special parks in Tokyo.
C.The special parks look different from the common ones.
D.People can be safer in the special parks during earthquakes.
2. During earthquakes, people can find ________ in these special parks.
① drinking water   ② traditional toilets   ③ personal planes   ④ cooking things
A.①③B.③④C.①④D.②④
3. Why are useful things “not enough” for people?
A.Because they can’t work well.
B.Because self-help is more important.
C.Because the government doesn’t have enough money.
D.Because it’s hard for people to find them during earthquakes.
4. What is the last paragraph mainly about?
A.How to stay safe during earthquakes.B.Why people should check their furniture.
C.How to prepare for danger before it comes.D.What would happen in an earthquake.
5. Where does this reading probably come from?
A.Sports report.B.Nature magazine.C.Science research.D.Travel guidebook.

※If you are outside, move away from buildings and street lights.     3    

※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).     4     Because you will be trapped (使....陷入困境) in it once the power is cut off.
