阅读理解

A

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 are easily broken and should usually be

placed on a lower surface, near the ground instead of placing them on the cupboards

higher up. Never place them near your bed, sofas and other furniture where you would

be sitting or lying down. When there is a strong movement, these pieces will fall

on the floor directly and not on you.

There is a strong chance of short circuits (短路) and fire during an earthquake.
