What should you do if there’s an earthquake at school? How can you protect yourself when you are caught in a stampede(踩踏)? March 25 this year provides you with a good chance to learn about safety.

This day is called the National Day of Education on the Safety of Elementary and Middle School Students(NDESEMSS) (全国中小学生安全教育日). The theme of the day this year is to give students more knowledge about safety and make sure their lives safe.

A survey done by the China Youth and Children Research Center showed that school accidents kill more elementary and middle school students than anything else. The main accidents come from stampedes, earthquakes, fires and sports injuries.

What can we do to keep ourselves safe? Staying calm is the first and most important rule when facing accidents. But different accidents have different self-protection advice.

A stampede is possible anywhere. The larger a human crowd gets, the more likely stampedes become. When students around you begin to push, stand still and try to hold onto something, or stay in a corner until the crowd leaves. If you fall down in a moving crowd, cover your head with both hands. Lean to one side, curl up your body and bend your legs.

Earthquakes are common natural disasters. When you feel the ground shake, drop down, take cover under a desk and hold on. You should stay indoors until the shaking stops. If you are out-doors, don’t stay near buildings, trees or power lines.

When there’s a fire, follow the teachers’ instructions, leave the classroom quickly and use a piece of cloth to cover your mouth and nose so that you don’t breathe in smoke.

1. What should you do first when accidents happen according to this passage?

A. Run away. B. Stand there.

C. Keep calm. D. Cry loudly.

2. According to this passage, which of the following is TRUE?

A. Car accidents kill the most elementary and middle school students of all accidents.

B. When there’s a fire, you should use cloth to cover your mouth and nose.

C. If you fall down in a moving crowd, you can do nothing but wait there.

D. When an earthquake happens, you should stay near buildings or trees.

3. What’s the best title for this passage?

A. Be afraid of accidents

B. An earthquake is coming

C. Run away from accidents

D. How to protect yourself

4. If the writer continues to write this passage, what will be followed?

A. The changes of fires.

B. The reasons of accidents.

C. Sports injuries.

D. Smoking disadvantages.

B

For many Canadian families, summer includes activities such as boating and swimming. But each year, tragic and avoidable water-related deaths occur across Canada. A Canadian Red Cross report examining these deaths over 10 years revealed many common factors: 1. Young children aged 1 to 4 and adults aged 15 to 44 are at the greatest risk of drowning; 2. Drowning is one of the leading causes of unintentional death for children aged 1 to 4.

Small children are more likely to drown. A small child can disappear in seconds and can drown in only a few centimetres of water — enough to cover the mouth and nose. Typically, these drownings occur in backyard pools, the bathtub, or at the beach. For every death, there are an estimated four to five additional near-drowning incidents, which often result in varying degrees of brain damage.

Babies drowned mainly in bathtubs and pools, while older children and youth drowned mainly in large bodies of water.

Other factors for adults in water-related deaths includes current and alcohol consumption.

Water Safety

Though important, swimming skills alone aren’t always enough to save a life. Many drowning incidents involve other factors that swimming skills alone cannot prepare an individual for. Learning water safety — such as how to prepare for an emergency, and what to do if one should occur is the key to preventing an emergency in or on the water. It’s swimming skills combined with safety knowledge that save lives.

Prevention

The absence of adult company is a factor in most child drownings. Whether it’s a pool, a bathtub, a water park, or a beach, always watch children actively around water — even if they can swim.

Consider requiring all non-swimmers to wear a life jacket to keep them at the surface.

When bathing a baby in a bathtub, an adult should always remain with the child. Never leave to answer the phone or for any other distractions in case of emergency.

5. Small children can drown easily mainly because ____________.

A. they are not aware of the danger

B. they are too short and small

C. they can’t express themselves

D. they lack enough safety knowledge

6. What can we learn from the passage?

A. Children shouldn’t swim in the pools.

B. Near-drowning won’t do any damage to brain.

C. It is dangerous to swim after drinking alcohol.

D. It is enough for children to have swimming skills.

7. What should a mother do when bathing her baby according to the passage?

A. Tell a story to the baby. B. Sing a song for the baby.

C. Teach the baby safety skills. D. Stay with the baby all the time.

8. What is the passage mainly about?

A. Summer water safety.

B. Swimming skills for adults.

C. Swimming skills for children.

D. Ways to avoid water-related deaths.

IV. 书面表达

The students of our school had a discussion about whether listening test in the College Entrance Examination should be kept or canceled.

Some students think that listening test should not be canceled. They insist listening is among the four basic skills. We therefore can not ignore it. Besides, listening is one of the important channels for us to get information from the outside world. So it should be strengthened today when international cooperation is becoming more and more frequent.

But others don’t agree. They think not everyone has to communicate with foreigners in the future. Moreover, listening test is unfair to the students in the areas where radio signals cannot be picked up effectively. And for certain reasons, there is a big difference in teachers and equipment between the countryside and the city.
