2 . To prepare for-real-life emergencies, rescue teams must practice. They practice putting on ice suits, working with ropes, and using hand signals to communicate. And once the lake freezes, then practice ice rescue.
On a training day, a firefighter puts on his ice suit. He then pushes air out of the ice suit. If not, the trapped air bubble could make him float. He walks out onto frozen lake to play the role of the “victim (受害者)”. He shakes, not from cold, but worries about not knowing when he’ll fall through! His first several steps feel solid. The ice seems thick. But 28 steps in: Crack! Water begins to come in through the ice. He slows down. At 31 steps-Plunk! He falls through the ice. He keeps him mouth shut so he doesn’t swallow any water. It’s time for him to pretend to be a victim, calling for help and struggling in the lake.
Two more firefighters, attached to the onshore team with ropes, walk onto the lake. They stay on different parts of the ice in case it breaks, both carrying protective equipment like a belt or a board. Meanwhile, onshore team members, wearing life vests, talk to the “victim” to keep him calm. Near the ice hole, a rescuer drops to her belly and moves slowly. The second rescuer rolls. Both methods spread out the weight so they don’t also fall through the ice.
The firefighter with the board explains that they’re there to help. She hands the board to the victim and tells him to catch it. The second firefighter enters the water and ties the belt securely to the victim. He gives a signal and the onshore members pulls the rope. As the rope tightens, the rescuer lifts the victim’s legs so he’s on his belly. Together, they sail across the ice.
Once they’re on land, firefighters exchange roles. When every firefighter has had a turn at rescuing and playing “victim”, they all put on warm, dry clothes and head back to the station for hot chocolate.

It was the Easter holidays, and school was closed for two weeks. For me, the Easter holidays were so boring that it was impossible to find something fun to do. My mom had suggested that I do some studies since the promotion test was coming up. However, I didn’t follow my mother’s suggestion. Instead, I went outside to seek out my friends to play with. When I had successfully contacted some of my friends, none of them seemed to be much in a playful mood, but one friend Jimmy agreed to play with me. He suggested we go down to the river and just relax there. The river was not far from my home, and we arrived there quickly.
Just relaxing on the river bank with nothing but some waste logs, it wasn’t fun for us at first. Clearly what was on our minds was to jump into the river and just take a swim in the clear cool water. So we took off our clothes down to our underwear and walked into the shallow part of the water. The water was truly cool and refreshing and we were starting to have fun then, playing and laughing, as we splashed the cool water onto each other’s faces.
Then we started to chase each other around on the river bank and then we ran straight into the river. We were having so much fun that we didn’t notice danger was around the corner. Before Jimmy could know it, and before he could do anything to keep his balance, he lost his footing on a tree branch, which was in the shallow part of the water, and slipped, bringing his whole entire body into the deep water. He tried to resurface from the water but found it extremely hard to keep his head above the water.

One night the earth quaked, reducing the villages to ruins and causing hundreds of deaths.
It happened that I was away that night. I had gone to the town to buy my school books. I stayed the night at my uncle’s house. We spent the entire night outside.
I came back to my village. My uncle accompanied me. Every single house, every wall, every roof had been flattened. Our house was a two-storeyed stone building. My father had died of an illness, just fourteen months before. My mother took care of us. I was the oldest. My brother John was ten. Jane, my two-year-old sister, was the baby of the family.
When the soldiers began to clear the debris (废墟), my uncle led me away. “They have taken the bodies to the river bank,” he said gently. “Come, you must perform the last rites (仪式) to the dead before sunset. Tomorrow, we will go back to the town.”
I had last seen my family while leaving for the town. They stood at the doorway and waved. John and Jane. That is the way I will always remember them — smiling and waving at me.
Jane? She was not at the river bank. “They have not found her,” my uncle said. “She is dead…” “But we must find her,” I shouted. I ran back to the village, to the spot where my house had stood, searching, crying, searching on my knees…
“Boy, it is no use!” a voice said. I looked up. The speaker was the Army officer in charge of the relief operation. “Whom are you looking for?” “My sister,” I said, fighting to control my tears.
He looked dirty and exhausted as if he had not slept for days. “My men have been on their feet for days,” he said softly. “They have done all they could here. Tomorrow, at daybreak, we go to another village just like this, then another…”
