【推荐1】If you get into a forest with your friends, always stay with them. If you don’t, you may get lost. If you really get lost, this is what you should do. Sit down and stay where you are. Don’t try to find your friends—let them find you by staying in one place.

There is another way to help your friends or other nearby people to find you. Give them a signal (信号) by shouting or whistling (吹口哨) three times. Any signal given three times is a call for help.

Keep up shouting or whistling always three times together. When people hear you, they will know that you are not just making noise for fun. They will let you know that they have heard your signal. They will give you two shouts or two whistles.

When someone gives you a signal, it is an answer to a call for help.

If you don’t think that you will get help before night comes, try to make a little house with branches (树枝) with lots of leaves. Make yourself a soft bed with leaves and grass.

What should you do if you get hungry or need drinking water? You would have to leave your little house to look for a river. Don’t just walk away. Pick off small branches and drop them as you walk so that you can find your way back. The most important thing to do when you are lost is—stay in one place.

Do you know there is an earthquake every thirty seconds in the world? Many earthquakes happen in China, too. Do you know how to keep safe in an earthquake?     1    .

When the earthquake happens, protect yourself first.     2     because where there is life, there is hope. Don’t go back to get your money or computers.

If you are at home, hide under a desk. Stay away from windows because anything may fall on you.

If you are outdoors, try to move away from buildings and streetlights. They may fall on you. If you are in a shop and far from the door, don’t run outside.     3    . Hide under a desk. Don’t get into a lift during an earthquake.

If you are in a moving car, drive to the side of the road, stop as quickly as possible, and stay in the car.     4    . It’s dangerous.

When an earthquake has ended, be careful because aftershocks (余震) may still happen. They are just as dangerous as the earthquakes, so stay under the desk until you think it is really safe to get out. Make sure you wear shoes after an earthquake. There may be broken glass on the ground.     5    . We should always hope for the best but be ready for the worst.

【推荐3】March 25 is called the National Day of Education on the Safety of Elementary and Middle School Students(NDESEMSS全国中小学生安全教育日). The theme of the day this year is to give students more knowledge about safety and make sure that their lives are safe.

A survey done by the China Youth and Children Research Center showed that school accidents kill more elementary and middle school students than anything else. The main accidents come from stampedes(踩踏), earthquakes, fires and sports injuries(伤害).

What can we do to keep ourselves safe? Staying calm is the first and most important rule when facing accidents. But different incidents have different self-protection advice.

A stampede is possible anywhere. The larger a human crowd gets, the more likely stampedes become. When students around you begin to push, stand still and try to hold onto something, or stay in a corner until the crowd leaves. If you fall down in a moving crowd, cover your head with both hands.

Earthquakes are common natural disasters(灾害). When you feel the ground shake, drop down, take cover under a desk and hold on. You should stay indoors until the shaking stops. If you are outdoors, don’t stay near buildings, trees or power lines.

When there’s a fire, follow the teachers’ instructions, leave the classroom quickly and use a piece of wet cloth to cover your mouth and nose so that you don’t breathe in smoke.

【推荐1】Rich Americans want to spend many dollars flying into space, according to a recent survey.

Many rich Americans got bored of the things on earth. The survey said 19 per cent would like to pay $100,000 for a 15-minute trip into space.

Derek Webber said, "We made this survey in order to find out what rich people think of the space trip. " He added, "We will say these trips will cost much, but it's exciting for you to feel space weightlessness and see the world from up there.”

Webber also said if the price was $50,000, 16% more of rich people would be interested in these space trips. However, the tourists must have a strong and healthy body and get some space training first.

【推荐1】No matter where a video game is played, on a handheld device(装置), the Internet or the television, too much gaming is a bad thing. Playing too many video games is a problem for kids and there are many signs that show the negative(消极的) influences.

If young people are always thinking about when they can play a video game, that is a sign that they have lost themselves in it. If they give up other hobbies that they used to love, that is also a problem. Many kids who choose to spend all their free time playing video games will make up ways to play the game instead of communicating with others. Leaving sports teams or clubs, refusing to go outside to play with friends, and choosing to stay home from birthday parties are all signs that video games have taken over the child’s attention.

In addition to negative behaviours, there are health problems from playing too many video games. If video game players skip meals or lose sleep because they stayed up too late playing games, this can negatively influence their health. Sitting in front of a game for more than two hours a day instead of getting up and being active can result in childhood obesity(肥胖症). Moreover, backaches, headaches and strained(紧张的) eyes can be caused by playing too many video games.

【推荐2】Are you a shy person? Do you want to become outgoing? Being outgoing can help a lot in your life. In fact, being outgoing is not so hard as you think. Here is some advice on how to become outgoing:

You can start to try becoming outgoing when you stay with your friends. But the real challenge comes when you meet strangers or new friends. Smile at them and usually they will smile at you, too. You may find it easy to start talking in this way.

Start a talk firstly. Try to speak first. Simple greetings such as “Hello!” “How is it going?” and “It’s a little cloudy today, isn’t it?” are a good start. After that, you can talk more. For example, you can talk about the latest news. But you’d better read some news in newspapers and have your own ideas first. Or you may find that you won’t have much to say.

The best way to become outgoing is to go out. It is also a very important step. Usually those who like to do the same things can communicate better. If you like playing sports, go to a sports club. You may make many new friends there if you get over your shyness (怯).

【推荐3】I have 3 questions for you: Do you often see the blue sky above our city? Is the air in our city fresh?     1       The answers to these questions are all “no”! My grandfather often tells many interesting stories about his childhood. At that time, the sky was blue, the air was fresh and the water was clean.     2     When they swam in the river, they could see many fish. It was happy at that time.

    3     The air and water are becoming dirtier today. And people are doing bad things to animals and plants. Some animals and plants are disappearing now. I want you to join us to protect the environment. We can start out small. Do not throw any rubbish onto the ground.     4     Stop using plastic (塑料的) bags for shopping.

This is our world.     5
