【推荐1】You may hear about earthquakes, but do you know what to do before, during and after an earthquake? Here is some advice for you:
Before an earthquake. It is necessary to prepare yourself and your family. All family members should know how to turn off gas, water and electricity (电) and know useful telephone numbers (doctor, hospital, police and 119 etc.). Never put heavy things over beds.
During an earthquake. It is important for each of you to stay calm. If you are indoors, quickly move to a safe place in the room such as under a strong desk or table. The purpose is to protect yourself from falling things. Stay away from windows, large mirrors, heavy furniture and so on. If you are cooking, turn off the gas. If you are outdoors, move to an open area like a playground. Move away from buildings, bridges and trees. If you are driving, stop the car as soon as possible, staying away from bridges and tall buildings, stay in your car.
After an earthquake. Once the shaking has stopped, DO NOT run out of the building at once. It is better to wait and leave when it is safe. Check around you and help the people who are in trouble. If your building is badly broken, you should leave it. If you smell or hear gas, get everyone outside and open windows and doors. If you can do it safely, turn off the gas. Report it to the gas company.

【推荐2】Locusts are grasshoppers（蚂蚱）. Normally grasshoppers do little harm. But when there are lots of them, their bodies and behaviors will change. As locusts, they travel in huge groups, eating all the plants in an area and moving on. In a single day, a small swarm of locusts can eat as much food as 35, 000 people. Along the way, they lay more eggs, producing greater swarms（一大群）of locusts. Billions of locusts arrived in Pakistan last June from Iran, which has resulted in Pakistan’s worst locust problem in many years. In early February, Pakistan’s Prime Minister, Imran Khan, called a state of emergency（紧急）.
One unusual solution was suggested to deal with the locusts: it was reported that China had plans to send 100, 000 ducks to Pakistan. In China, ducks have helped fight locusts in the past. A single duck can eat over 200 locusts a day.
But soon after the idea was reported, it was canceled. A team of experts pointed out that most of Pakistan does not provide a good environment for ducks, which require lots of water, like rivers and lakes. China has sent a team of experts to Pakistan to help find out how to deal with the emergency so that the locusts don’t wind up becoming a problem for China, too.
Pakistan is now planning to buy more pesticides（杀虫剂）from India so that they can do more spraying from airplanes to control the locusts. But no one knows whether this will work or not.
