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.
