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 28, 2016 provided you with a good chance to learn about safety.
This day was 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 was to give students more knowledge about safety and make sure their lives are 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(伤害).
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 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(偏向) one side, curl up(蜷缩) your body and bend your legs.
Earthquakes are common natural disasters(灾难). 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 outdoors, 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 wet cloth to cover your mouth and nose so that you don't breathe in smoke.
Once upon a time, there was a wild donkey and a tame donkey.
The wild donkey was thin and small. He spent his life outdoors. The grass on the hill was his food all year round. Sometimes, he had to walk miles to find fresh water and at night there was always danger from wolves. The tame donkey was fat and strong. During summer he ate the rich grass while in winter he had corn and hay(干草)to eat. There was always freshwater for him to drink and at night he stayed safely in a stable(马).
The wild donkey always wished he could live like the tame donkey.
One day, the wild donkey was looking for grass on the hill. Looking down, he saw the tame donkey walking slowly along the road, carrying lots of wood. As he watched, the tame donkey stopped to eat some grass by the roadside. Suddenly, his owner began to beat him with a stick.
"I've changed my mind about your way of life," thought the wild donkey. "I see that you have to pay heavily for the food they give you."

Liu Wei is very famous in China because he can play the piano with his toes(脚趾).
One day when Liu Wei was only 10 years old, he played a game with some friends. He lost both his arms because of electricity.
Liu Wei was very sad when both his arms were cut off after the accident. But soon he had to make a choice.
