A big earthquake happened in Japan a few months ago. It was 9.0 on the Richter scale(里氏).It caused a tsunami(海啸) and a nuclear leak(核泄漏).Thousands of people died and millions of Japanese lost their homes.
However, the disaster did n’t cause panic(恐慌) among Japanese people. When the ear thquake happened, people left dangerous places in an orderly way. After the shock, they waited in line for food and water. There was no robbing or stampeding(惊逃).
The Japanese are ready for an earthquake at any time. Almost every family has a survival kit(救生包),which has a flashlight, a radio, water and enough food for a few days. It can keep people alive(活着) after an earthquake.
Many earthquakes happen in China, too. Are you ready for the next earthquake?
When an earthquake happens, protect yourself first. The life is the most important because where there is a life there is hope. Don’t go back to get your money or computers. When an earthquake has ended, be careful because aftershocks(余震) may still happen. Make sure you wear shoes after an earthquake. There may be broken glass on the ground.
We should always hope for the best but prepare for the worst.

What are you going to do if you are in a burning house? How will you escape（逃走）? Do you know how to save yourself? Please read the following passage.
Escaping a fire（火灾逃生）is a serious matter. Knowing what to do during a fire can save your life. It is important to know the ways you can use and show them to everyone in the family, such as stairways and fire escapes, but not lifts.
From the lower floors of the buildings, escaping through windows is possible. You have to learn the best way of leaving by windows with the least chance of serious injury（受伤）.
The second floor window is usually not very high from the ground. It is about the height of an average man. Of course, it is safer to jump a short way than to stay in a burning building.
Windows are also useful when you are waiting for help. Be sure to keep the door closed, or smoke and fire may be drawn into the room. Keep your head low at the window to be sure you get fresh air rather than smoke that may leak(渗) into the room.
On a second or third floor, the best windows for escape are tho se that open onto a roof. From the roof a person can drop to the ground more safely. Dropping onto cement(水泥) might end in injury. Bushes(灌木丛) and grass can help to break a fall.
