A report in a newspaper says that school accidents, such as food poisoning (中毒), fires, electricity and traffic, kill more primary and middle school students than anything else. So we must learn how to protect ourselves better. Here are some tips for keeping safety in mind every day.
On our way home or to school: Wait for the green traffic light, and look left and right before we cross the road. We’d better wear bright-color clothes, so the drivers can see us easily. Don’t believe strange people in the street.
At school: When students around us begin to push each other, we need to stand still and try to hold onto something, or stay in a corner until the crowd leaves. If we fall down in a moving crowd, use both hands to cover the head. Lean to one side, curl up (蜷缩) our body and bend (使弯曲) the legs.
In a fire: Stay calm. Leave the classroom quickly under the directions of the teachers. Smoke can be more dangerous than fire, so use a piece of cloth to cover our mouth and nose. What will we do if the clothes burn? Remember not to run! Drop and fall to the ground. Then roll! It will make the fire go out.
For eating: Wash fruits carefully before eating them. Check the expiration dates (保质期) on the packages of the snacks, and if it looks or smells bad, don’t eat it.

We do want help our family, friends and classmates when they’re having a hard time. But how can we help our people out in right ways?
Rachel Miller is a writer and she mentions some ways about that in her book How to Be There for Yourself and Your People.
Keep your focus on your friend.
When a friend comes to you, it’s a good idea to help them forget their terrible experience. But if you want to tell them a similar experience, it’s not always welcome.
If you do feel that your experience might be helpful to hear, Miller’s advice is to let your friend know that you went through something similar, but allow them to decide if they want to hear about it at the moment.
Ask how you can best help your friend.
You may not know what kind of help your friend wants. Just ask! Miller advises to try these questions:
“What’s the best way I can help you right now?”
“Do you need someone to talk to?”
“Would you like my advice?”
“How are you feeling about the hard experience you’re going through?”
A heartfelt “I’m sorry” is a great help.
People may shy away from saying “I’m sorry” to the people in trouble, because you cannot feel the same way as them. But Miller says a real, honest “I’m sorry” can help to make your friend feel heard and accepted. “Sometimes there isn’t a perfect way to make people feel better,” she says. “But what you need to do is to say ‘You’re not alone. I’m with you. I’m so sorry it’s happening to you.’”

Do you long to have garden-fresh vegetables on your plate every night? Read on for information on how to take care of a garden.
Never let the soil in your garden dry out. If it doesn’t rain for a few days and the soil feels dry, water your garden. Be sure the water gets all the way down to the roots (the parts that grow down into the soil) of the plants, but don’t water too much. You could drown(淹死) your plants!
You may see some plants in your garden that you didn’t put there. These are weeds. Pull them out when the ground is soft and wet. Be sure you pull out the roots, or the weeds(野草) will grow back.
Tall plants such as tomatoes need sticks to hold them up. Without sticks, they’ll fall over. When your tomato plants get to be about two feet tall, it’s time to tie them to a stake(桩). Push a long stick into the ground next to each plant. Tie the plant to the stick with a string. As each plant grows taller, you’ll have to tie it up again.
If you’ve planted seeds, you can expect too many plants to come out. You have to clear some away so that the plants left will have room to grow. This is called thinning. If you’ve planted lettuce(生菜) seeds, wait until the baby plants are about 1.5 inches tall. Then pull some of the plants out so that you can leave about 8 inches between plants.
Now that you’ve done all the work to make a vegetable garden, it’s time to enjoy what you’ve finished. Pick a red, ripe and juicy tomato. Eat it while it’s still warm from the sun. If you have more vegetables from your garden than your family can eat, give them to friends and neighbors. It’s fun to have the joy you get from your garden together with others.

According to a new survey, students’ safety has become a big problem. They have to face different safety problems, such as traffic accidents, drowning, fire, electric shock, animal bites, and even robbery. Nearly 50% of students say they are worried about robbery on the way to and from school. Now some schools have taught an unusual lesson: self-protection. Students like this lesson because there are no exams or boring classes. And they can learn how to save lives and know how to stop danger before it really happens. Chen Haoyu, a teacher at Beijing No. 25 Middle School, gives young students advice on how they should deal with danger.
If you are robbed
Keep calm. If you cannot cry for help or run away, give the robber your money. Try to remember what the robber looks like and tell the police later.
If you are in a traffic accident
If a car hurts you, you should remember the car number. If it is a bicycle, try to call your parents before you let the rider go. This is because you don’t know how seriously you are hurt.
If it is raining hard and there is lightning
Don’t stay in high places and stay away from trees.
When there is a fire
Get away as fast as you can. Put wet things on your body and try to find an exit. Do not take the lift.
If someone is drowning
If you can’t swim, don’t get into the water. Cry out for help.
Remember that danger is never as far away as you think. Take care of yourself at all times!

After school, it’s very difficult for Vishal Singh to make a choice. He knows he should really go on with his homework, but the Internet is so attractive that he can’t really pay much attention to his study.
“Students have always faced distractions(分心) and time-wasters,” writes Matt Richtel in the New York Times. He says that computers are a real challenge for students. They need to pay more attention to their learning.
Students say that their parents are worried about the distractions and try to control their computer time. But it is still difficult to manage the time of using computers.
Teachers at Woodside commonly think technology makes students difficult to concentrate(集中精力) in class, but they are divided over whether computer and the Internet are the solutions.
In Richtel’s article, English teacher Marcia Blondel feels disappointed with her students. She isn’t able to get them to read 30 pages of a book for homework. In order to solve this problem, she asks them to take part in a read-aloud of the book in class.
But as some teachers express their worries over students’ digital diets, seeing it as a way, they are trying to use technology in the classroom to draw the attention of these 21st-century students. The headmaster of Woodside High School, David Reilly, asks teachers to build websites to communicate with students. The students are allowed to use computers., smart phones or other new technology to interact(互动) with their teachers. It’s convenient for them to search for some useful materials that they need before class. With the help of the new technology, the students have more chances to share their ideas with each other and spend less time on video games. So, they pay more attention to their study and they don’t show up with bleary-eyes(睡眼朦胧的) any more. Mr. Reilly also spends a large amount of money building up a multimedia(多媒体) centre and introduce new courses like the digital audio recording(数码录像) class.
“We try our best to take back their attention and make them concentrate on their study,” he says. “To a degree, we’re using technology to do it.”
Some schools are looking to use the Internet to encourage students to study.
