Put a frog in the water and start heating the water． As the temperature of the water rises， the frog is able to adjust its body temperature． The frog keeps on adjusting with the increase in temperature．
Just when the water is about to reach the boiling point， the frog is not able to adjust anymore．
At that point the frog decides to jump out．
The frog tries to jump but is unable to do so． because it loses all its strength in adjusting to the water temperature．
Very soon the frog dies． What kills the frog？
Many of us would say the boiling water．
But in fact， what kills the frog is its own inability to decide when it has to jump out．
We all need to adjust to people and situations， but we need to be sure when we need to adjust and when we need to face．
There are times when we need to face the situation and take the proper action．
If we allow people to exploit us in body， mirid， emotion or money， they will continue to do so． We have to decide when to jump． Let us jump while we still have the strength!
So， we must think of danger in times of safety and always be prepared for the worst．

Earthquakes may happen anywhere on the earth. When some plates(板块) of the earth move suddenly, an earthquake happens. Many earthquakes begin under the sea. They often happen near the mountains (山脉), too.
During an earthquake, the shakings make rocks rise suddenly and even crack(断裂) open. Houses fall, people are killed or hurt, and sometimes the whole villages or cities are destroyed(破坏).
Can we do something to keep ourselves safe from earthquakes? Scientists have studied earthquakes and made maps that show the “earthquake belts”. In areas in these belts, it’s possible for earthquakes to happen. In these areas we should build strong houses to fight against (对抗) earthquakes.
In the future, scientists will be able to tell when and where an earthquake will be before they happen. They can also tell people what to do and how to do it.
