What should you do if there’s an earthquake (地震) at school? How can you save yourself when you are caught in a stampede (踩踏)? March 25 this year provides you with something about safety.
This day 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 topic of the day this year is to help students learn more about safety and make sure their lives safe. A survey showed that school accidents kill more students than anything else. The main accidents come from stampedes, 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 we have different advice on different accidents.
A stampede is possible anywhere. The more people get together, the more likely stampedes are to come. When students around you begin to push, you should 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. 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 outdoor, don’t stay near buildings, trees or power lines.
When there’s a fire, follow the teachers’ words, leave the classroom quickly and use a piece of cloth to cover your mouth and nose so that you don’t breathe in smoke.

Zhang Heng, born in Nanyang City in 78 AD, was the world-known scientist and inventor at the time of the Eastern Han dynasty. He died in 139 AD. Known as “the sage of science”, he made great contributions (贡献) to science and human society.
Zhang Heng invented the earthquake instrument in 132 AD. It is reported that it’s the first instrument in the world that could tell the earthquake and its direction far away. There are 8 dragons in 8 directions. There is a big ball in each dragon’s mouth, under which sits a toad (蟾蜍) with its mouth open wide. If the earthquake happens in any direction, the ball will fall into the mouth of the toad below, and make a loud noise. It is recorded that the instrument told a huge earthquake which happened several thousand kilometers away in China’s west. Though this instrument has been lost, it is still regarded as a man-made creation.
Zhang Heng was interested in everything around him and loved to think. It was not always easy to make other people accept new ideas. When Zhang Heng introduced his inventions, people laughed at him. However, he didn’t give up. Instead, he went on to make new inventions. He believed in what he did even when others did not.
Later in 1970, scientists named a circle-shaped mountain on the moon as “Zhang Heng Mountain” and No. 1802 small planet in the solar system as “Zhang Heng Star” in 1977. In 2003, No.9092 small planet was named “Nanyang Star” to honor him.

【推荐2】The late president of South Africa, Nelson Mandela, once said: “If you talk to a man in a language he understands, that goes to his head. If you talk to a man in his own language, that goes to his heart. ”
Mandela understood that our mother language is a very intimate（亲近的）thing to us. For people who speak an ancient language as their mother language, it helps them keep their traditions. Their language is their main link（联系）with their ancestors. And it is also how they imagine in the future.
So it's a serious thing that a language disappears. Over the last century, more than 400 languages have died out. Some languages are now spoken only by a few dozen people, like Yagan in Chile. Africa and South America are also places where many languages are dying.
Why are humans speaking fewer languages than we once did？The answer has to do with globalization（全球化）. Now, it's more useful to speak certain languages—English is one example rather than others. This has killed some languages, usually ones spoken by fewer or less influential people.
But some people aren't prepared to accept a planet with fewer and fewer languages. The United Nations has set Feb, 21 as International Mother Language Day.
The organization wants people to pay more attention to dying languages.
This work is very important. As US writer Ria Mae Brown wrote, “Language is the roadmap（路线图）of a culture. It tells where its people come from and where they are going. ”
