Wildfires are uncontrolled (不可控制的) fires. They usually happen in areas where few people live. They are most common in wooded areas in the US, Canada and Australia. They are also known as forest fires or grass fires, or as bushfires in Australia.
Lightning (闪电) strikes and volcanic eruptions (火山爆发) can cause wildfires. However, 90 percent of wildfires are caused by humans, according to the US National Park Service. Dry and hot weather, as well as wind, creates perfect wildfire conditions. They help wildfires spread quickly and last for weeks.
Wildfires can burn at over 900℃ and reach heights of more than 50 meters. Wildfires can move at speeds of up to 23 kilometers an hour, burning everything – trees, brush, homes, even people – in their path.
The fires are also dangerous to animals. In Australia, koalas can’t get enough water from tree leaves because of wildfires. They have to leave their trees and find water somewhere else.
But sometimes, fires can be good for some plants. People can find more of them in the wild after a fire.

【推荐2】Earthquakes happen without warning（前兆）. They can happen any time of a day, at any point during the year. But don’t worry because most earthquakes are so weak that they cannot be felt. Only a few big ones hurt people. However, it’s important to know what to do when an earthquake is happening.
Do NOT go outside. You could get injured from falling glass or parts of buildings. If you are outside, stay away from buildings and power lines （输电线）.
Stay under a desk, table, or other strong furniture. Hold on to it. Or stay in a corner of the building. Cover your face and head with your arms and cover your mouth with a towel or clothing. Stay inside until shaking stops and it is safe to go outside.
Keep away from windows, pictures or advertisements on the wall or the building, and anything else that could fall and hurt you. Most people get injured by falling things during an earthquake, not by the shaking itself.
Also keep away from a fire. You could fall down and burn yourself on the fire.
If you are driving when an earthquake happens, stop the car if it’s safe. Stay inside your car until the earthquake stops, and don’t drive near bridges. Try not to stop by power lines or trees. These could fall and hurt you.
