There are many different kinds of disasters around the world. As an adult you know what to do during a disaster, but what about the children? Some adults think it would probably never happen to them, so they don't teach their children what to do. Before it's too late, here are ways to help you prepare your child for a disaster:

    Educate: It is always good to let your child know about possible disasters. This doesn't mean children have to live in fear. When teaching them about disasters, keep the conversation positive（积极的）by telling them there is a solution（解决办法）to the disaster. Keep the conversations short, allow for questions and answer honestly.

    Prepare: Always be prepared, that is the best advice for children. For example, when preparing for bad weather, get the tools you need, like candles, radios, food, water and medicine. Teach your child what is needed in certain disasters so that they know what is available for them, if ever needed.

    Plan: You should always have a plan for you and your child for any dangerous situation. Write out a simple list that they can read. The plan could start with “listen to an adult's advice and/or call 119”.

    Practice: Once you have got the correct safety tools and worked out the right plan, practice every few months. Practicing what to do during a disaster with your child will help them if the time comes.

    Disasters can't be avoidedbut they can be lessened（减轻）once you areprepared and ready for one.

     With the development of the Internet, many people use it very often, including some teenagers. But many parents are worried about that their children may meet with something unhealthy online. To solve this problem, a new search engine for children named Kiddle has appeared.

     Search results are filtered, so only safe website are shown and descriptions are written in simple language. Searches with bad words are shut off, too. Kiddles uses the same color as Google in its logo and a similar design on its homepage, too— with an extra robot picture. The top three Kiddle research show safe websites and pages written specially for kids and those websites and pages are well chosen and checked by Kiddle developers. The fourth to seventh results will be safe and trusted websites that are not written for adults. They provide expert content, but are harder for kids to understand.

     Unlike on Google, most results appear along with large thumbnail pictures(缩略图) to make it easier for children to find what they are looking for. For example, when you search for “meow meow”. Google produces pages for information about a drug(毒品)，but Kiddle lists information only about cats. The company explained, “Websites which appear in Kiddle search results satisfy family–friendly requirements, as we filter websites with unhealthy content.”

The seasons on Earth

    The Earth that we live on is moving all the time. The Earth turns around itself once every 24 hours. This gives us day and night. The Earth also travels around the Sun once every year. This gives us the four seasons. We have spring and summer when our part of the Earth leans (倾斜) towards the Sun. We have autumn and winter when our part of the Earth leans away from the Sun.

    In many places on Earth, there are four seasons in a year. But in some places there are only two seasons. For example, near the North Pole (北极) there are only winter and summer. The winter nights are long. For more than two months you can't see the Sun, even at noon. The summer days are long. For more than two months the Sun never sets, and there is no night. In the tropics (热带地区) there are also two seasons: a rainy season (wet season) and a dry season.
