In American schools there is something called Homecoming Day. Many high schools and

colleges with a football team have a homecoming game. This can be the most important event

of the year except graduation or commencement (毕业典礼)Day. Students plan Homecoming

Day many weeks in advance.

Several days before Homecoming, students start to decorate the school. There are signs to

wish luck to the team, and many other signs to welcome all the graduates. Many people still

come to Homecoming twenty or thirty years after their graduation.

The members of school clubs build booths(售货棚) and sell lemonade(柠檬汽水)，apples and

sandwiches. Some clubs help to welcome visitors.

During the day alumni and their wives will gather at the school. They like to look for teachers

that they remember. Often they see old friends and they talk together about those happy years

in school.

Everyone soon comes to watch the football game. When the game is half over, the band

comes onto the field and plays school songs. Another important moment is when the

Homecoming Queen or King appears. All the students vote the most popular student

Homecoming Queen or King. It is a great honor to be chosen.

Homecoming is a happy day, but it is not perfect unless the football team wins the game.

Even if the game loses, the students still enjoy Homecoming. Some stay at the school to

dance, and others go to a party. For everyone it is a day worth remembering.

If you are in a crowd, a first and most important thing is to make yourself familiar with your

surroundings(周围的事物) and mentally notice alternate exits. No matter where you are,

make sure you always know how to get out.

Make sure you know the type of ground you are standing on. For example, in a crowd of

moving people wet ground can be dangerous, causing you to fall. You should know the

general atmosphere of the event, as panic situations can often be predicted. When in danger, a

few seconds can make all the difference, giving you the possibility of taking advantage of

your escape route. Always stay closer to the escape route

If you find yourself in the middle of a moving crowd, do not fight against the pressure, do not

stand still or sit down, because you could easily get injured or even be killed by being stepped

on by other people. Instead, move in the same direction of the crowd; take advantage of any

space that may open up to move sideways to the crowd movement where the flow is weaker.

Keep your hands up by your chest, which will protect your chest during the movement.

If you fall, get up quickly. If you can’t get up because you are injured, get someone to pull

you back up. If you fall and can not get up, keep moving by crawling(爬行)in the same

direction of the crowd. Do not lie on your stomach or back, as this is dangerous for your

body.

The worst situation is to be pushed by the crowd against an immovable object. Try to shun

High walls, as the crowd pressure can build up rapidly. After you’re pushed forward, the way

you move is on a diagonal(斜线). There’s always space between people. You work your way

out that way till you get out of the crowd.
