    The digital(数字的)A report in a newspaper says that school accidents, such as food poisoning(食物中毒) fires, electricity and traffic, kill more primary and middle school students than anything else. So we must learn how to protect ourselves better. Here are some tips for keeping safety in mind every day.

    On our way home or to school Wait for the green traffic light, and look left and right before we cross the road, we'd better war bright-color clothes, so the divers can see us easily. Don't believe in strange people in the street.

    At school: When students around us begin to push other, we need to stand sill and try to hold onto something, or stay in a comer until the crowd(人群) leaves. If we fall down in crowd use both hands to cover the head. Lean(斜靠)to one side, curl up(蜷缩)our body and bend(弯曲)the legs.

    In a fire: Stay calm. Leave the classroom quickly under the directions or the teachers. Smoke can be more dangerous than fire, so use a piece of cloth to cover our mouth and nose. What will we do if the clothes burn? Remember not to run! Drop and fall to the ground. Then roll! It will make the fire go out.

    For eating: Wash fruits carefully before eating them. Check the expiration dates (保质期)on the packages of the snacks, and if it looks or smells bad, don't eat it.

    What will happen if you don't eat your breakfast? A short time age, A. test was given in the United States. People of different ages, from 12 to 83, were asked to have A. test. During the test, these people were given all kinds of breakfast and sometimes they got no breakfast at al. Scientists wanted to see how well their bodies worked when they had different kinds of breakfast.

    The results show that if a person eats a right breakfast, he or she will work better than if he or she has no, breakfast. If a student has fruit, eggs, bread and milk before going to school, he will learn more quickly and listen more carefully in class.

    The results also show that having no breakfast will not help you lose weight. This is because people become so hungry at noon that they eat too much for lunch. So they will gain (增加)weight instead of losing weight.
