According to a new survey, students' safety has become a big problem. Nearly 50% of students say they are worried about robbery on the way to and from school. Now in main big cities in China, some schools have taught an unusual lesson: self-protection. Students like this lesson because there are no exams or boring classes. And they can learn how to save lives and know how to stop danger before it really happens.

      Chen Haoyu, a teacher at Beijing No. 25 Middle School, gives young students advice on how to deal with danger.

★If you are robbed

     Keep calm. lf you can not cry for help or run away. Give the robber your money. Try to remember what the robber looks like and tell the police later.

★If you are in a traffic accident

     If a car hits you. You should remember the car number. If it is a bicycle, try to call your parents before you let the rider go. This is because you don't know how seriously you are hurt

★If it is raining hard and there is lighting

    Don't stay in high places and stay away from trees.

★When there is a fire

    Get away as fast as yon can. Put wet things on your body and try to find an exit. Do not take the lift.

★If someone is drowning

     If you can't swim, don't get into the water. Cry out for help.

      Remember that danger is never as far away as you think. Take care of yourself at all time!

    April will bring a new product– the Apple Watch into the market. Last week, the watch was firstly introduced by Tim Cook, Apple's CEO. The price of the watch is from $349 to $1,099, depending on its size and whether it is a sports or regular one. Apple engineers and designers have put in a lot of thought and hard work into creating this small screen on your wrist. The sensor(传感器)on the screen not only finds your finger, but also knows the difference between when you are tapping(轻触), and when you are pressing harder.

    The watch also has haptic feedback(触觉反馈). You can send personal messages to your friend —such as drawing a star or a special sign with your fingers, or tapping the watch, say 3 times, and your friend will receive those taps on their wrist.

    Besides telling the time, the watch will use 'Bluetooth' to connect with your iPhone and show calls or text messages that come in.

    According to Tim Cook, the watch may open up a whole new area of applications（应用） that we had never thought of. Some car factories like BMW have developed an app that allows its car owners to open their cars with the watch. A 'Hotels' app may allow you to open the door to your hotel room without worrying about losing the smart-card. And finally, even at the airport—passengers may be able to simply wave their wrist to check into their flight.

    The biggest use of the watch, however, is as your personal fitness coach. The watch can show your pulse (heartbeat) using a sensor at the bottom of the watch. It also has the same sensor as your iPhone, so it knows when you are moving, and also how much you are walking or running. It will remind you if you have been sitting for too long without taking exercise.

Dear friends,

    I am writing this letter to draw your attention to the disasters（灾难）these days. Too much rain destroyed the crops and washed the earth away. Sometimes it was too little and made plants dead. Also there was too much dust in the air. All these did great damage to our life.

    However, we made them! So it is time for us to try our best to save the Earth.

    The most important thing is to plant trees as many as possible. At the same time, we should stop cutting down trees and protect the forests. And we can save our planet through many other ways, such as saving water and using both sides of paper. Besides, don't keep TVs or computers on when you are not using them. When you leave a room, turn off the lights.

    A small action is very helpful to our planet. Please join us in the action of protecting the Earth. Let's start from the little things right around us.

    Thousands of years ago, people couldn't live for long. Most people only lived to be twenty-five or thirty years old. 20% of people died before they were twelvemonths old and another 30% could not live to be five years old.

    Today, people can live much longer. One reason is that the water we drink is cleaner. Clean water does not cause diseases（疾病）. Besides, medical treatment is better today. More and more people live to be over eighty.

    Women often live longer than men. For example, in Japan, women usually can live to be eighty-five, but men can only live to be eighty.

    In the future, people will probably live longer than today. Here are many things we can do to help people live longer. For example, we can make sure that everyone has enough medicine to fight against diseases. Also, it is necessary for everyone to have enough to eat. Today many people die because they do not have enough food.

In most parts of the world, many students help their schools make less pollution.  They join the Environment Club.  In the club, people work together to protect the environment. 

No-rubbish lunches.  How much do you throw after lunch? The Environment Club asks students to bring their lunches in bags that can be recycled.  The students try their best to make less rubbish. 

No-car days.  No-car days were started by 35 cities in France on 22nd September, 1998.  They were started to protect the environment.  By now, more than 1,000 cities around the world have had a no-car day.  In China, more and more people are taking part in the activity.  On a no-car day, nobody comes to school in a car—not the students and not the teachers! Cars give pollution to our air, so remember: Walk, jump, bike or run! Use your legs! It's lots of fun!

Turn off water! Do you know that some broken toilets could waste 20 to 40 ml of water an hour? In a year, that will fill a small river! In the Environment Club, the members mend those broken toilets. 

We have only one Earth.  Let's work hard together to make our world cleaner and more beautiful.
