An earthquake is one of the most common natural disasters. It may cause great damage. So it is wise to learn some simple safety tips to protect yourself or your family members.Fragile items like those made of glass should usually be placed on a lower surface, near the ground instead of being placed on cupboards higher up①. Never place them near your beds, sofas and other furniture where you would be sitting or lying.②When there is a strong movement these items will fall on the floor directly and not on you .There is a good chance of short circuits(短路) and fires breaking out during an earthquake. Make sure you turn off electrical connections and gas immediately when an earthquake happens.During an earthquake, stay beneath an object that is not easily damaged. Do not go near objects that could directly fall on you. Never take the elevator to go down. Stay inside until the shaking stops and it is safe to go outside. Research has shown that most injuries happen when people inside buildings are trying to go out. ③Use the staircases at all times.If you are in the open air, do not take shelter under trees streetlights, electric poles or tall buildings. If you are driving, stop your car and stay in a safe place. Do not park your car under trees or any tall objects.If trapped in debris, cover your mouth and nose with a handkerchief or clothing.

Before the 1830s, most newspapers were sold through annual subscriptions in America, usually $ 8 to $ 10 a year. Today $ 8 or $ 10 seems a small amount of money, but at that time these amounts were forbidding to most citizens. Accordingly，newspapers were read almost only by rich people in politics or the trades. In addition, most newspapers had little in them that would appeal to a mass audience. They were dull and visually forbidding. But the revolution that was taking place in the 1830s would change all that.The trend, then, was toward the “penny paper”—a term referring to papers made widely available to the public. It meant any inexpensive newspaper；perhaps more importantly it meant newspapers that could be bought in single copies on the street.This development did not take place overnight. It had been possible (but not easy) to buy single copies of newspapers before 1830，but this usually meant the reader had to go down to the printer’s office to purchase a copy. Street sales were almost unknown. However, within a few years, street sales of newspapers would be commonplace in eastern cities. At first the price of single copies was seldom a penny—usually two or three cents was charged—and some of the older well-known papers charged five or six cents. But the phrase “penny paper” caught the public’s fancy, and soon there would be papers that did indeed sell for only a penny.This new trend of newspapers for “the man on the street ”did not begin well. Some of the early ventures (企业)were immediate failures. Publishers already in business, people who were owners of successful papers, had little desire to change the tradition. It took a few youthful and daring businessmen to get the ball rolling.。
