Because earthquakes happen without warning, it’s important to take steps now to prepare．Because you don’t know where you will be when an earthquake happens， prepare some supplies for your home， workplace， and car．
1．Water．
A person need at least 1/2 gallon of water daily just for drinking．Store at least 1 gallon of water per person per day and be prepared for a 72-hour period．It is suggested that you buy bottled water．Keep bottled water in its original container and do not open it until you need to use it．Also， do check the “use by” date．

Keep a flashlight beside your bed, at your place of work, and in your car．Do not use matches or candles after an earthquake until you are sure that no gas leaks．

A teacher from a western country visited a school in an eastern country.In one class，she watched sixty children learn to draw a cat.The teacher drew a big circle on the blackboard, and sixty children copied it on their paper.The teacher drew a small one on the top of the big one and then put two small triangles(三角形)on the top of it.The children drew in the same way.The lesson wept on until there were sixty-one cats in the classroom.Each student’s cat looked exactly the same as that on the blackboard.
The visiting teacher watched the lesson and was surprised because the teaching methods were different from those in her country.A children’s art lesson in her country produced a lot of pictures，and each one is quite different from the others.Why? What makes this difference in educational methods? In a classroom in any country, a teacher teaches more than art or history or language.
In a country such as the United States or Canada，students are asked to work and find answers by themselves.The students are helped to learn to have their own ideas.In countries such as China and Japan，students often work together and help each other in the classroom，but the teachers teach，and the students listen.The students are asked to memorize a lot.They have to learn the same textbook；do the same homework and give the same answer.

Mrs. Smith is an unusual teacher. Once she told each student to bring along a few potatoes in plastic bag. On each potato the students had to write a name of a person that they hated And the next day, every child brought some potatoes. Some had two potatoes；some three；some up to five.
Mrs. Smith then told the children to carry the bags everywhere they went, even to the toilet, for two weeks. As day after day passed, the children started to complain(抱怨)about the awful smell of the rotten（腐烂的）potatoes.

As a volunteer teacher, I traveled a long way to a small village school in Longzhou, Guangxi. On my way there, I thought about the village, the school, and the children there. However, my heart sank when I arrived there. It wasn't what I expected. It didn't look like a school at all! The school had only three rooms, one for Grades 1, 2 and 3, and another one for Grades 4, 5 and 6. The third one was for me.
The children welcomed me warmly on my first day. They asked me a lot of questions, and I told them stories about myself and my life in Shanghai. The next day, I gave them a test to find out their level. Though the test was very easy, over half of the students failed it, yet they all wanted to learn new things. I knew they needed me.
I was busy preparing lessons, reading test papers every night. I enjoyed teaching these lovely and hardworking children, and I could see that they were making progress with my help. I have also learned a lot from them. I understand their lives better, and we are now good friends.

It’s not WASTE until it is WASTED! With the World Environment Day coming, our school is now requiring every student to form a habit of sorting the waste. Here in our schoolyard we lay four different colors of rubbish bins for different kinds of rubbish. The red is for harmful waste; the blue is for waste that can be recycled(循环再用); the green is for kitchen waste; the yellow is for other waste. The followings are some instructions for you. Glass: Empty bottles without caps can be recycled to make new glass bottles. Warning: Mirrors and light bulbs must not be included in the glass waste.  Paper: Newspapers, magazines, boxes must be clean enough to be recycled. Warning: Paper tissues and wallpaper are not recyclable as paper and should be kept separately. PMD waste: Packaging made of Plastic or Metal and Drink boxes are used to make new packaging. Warning: Plastic pots (e.g. yogurt pots), plastic bags must not be included with the PMD waste. Harmful waste: out-of-date drugs, used batteries(电池), paint and oil … Besides, if you don’t need your old bikes at all, our school volunteers will collect them. We’re going to fix them up and then give them away to kids who don’t have enough money for a bike. To find out more about recycling, you can visit our school website. |
