Lan Lan, a student of Grade Seven in Lushan, was taking a drawing class in a tent on April 23. Guess what she drew—a house with wings. When the teacher asked why she did so, Lan said if her house could f{#blank#}1{#/blank#} , it wouldn't fall down in an earthquake.

    Lan's hometown was hit by a s{#blank#}2{#/blank#}earthquake on April 20. At least 196 people were killed and more than 11,000 were injured. Many people became homeless. Soldiers and doctors q{#blank#}3{#/blank#}arrived in the area, saving people and rebuilding homes. Lots of money was sent there to help all those in need.

    Although we can't prevent (阻止) an earthquake from happening, we can use some methods to r{#blank#}4{#/blank#}harm. During an earthquake, do not jump out of high buildings because it is very d{#blank#}5{#/blank#}. Another method is to cover your head and neck u{#blank#}6{#/blank#}a strong table or desk. If there is no shelter (躲避处) nearby, you can also stay by a wall, and cover your head and neck with your arms and hands. And then you must keep calm and stay there u{#blank#}7{#/blank#} the shaking stops.

    Japan is a c{#blank#}8{#/blank#} which lies on the earthquake belt (地震带) and it is very good at dealing with earthquakes. From a very young age, the Japanese are already taught how to survive (幸存) them. Students often receive earthquake training. Almost in every Japanese family you can find a survival kit (救生装备) with a flash-light, a radio, water and enough food for several days. This helps people to stay a{#blank#}9{#/blank#}after an earthquake.

    "There should be more safety t{#blank#}10{#/blank#}at schools in our country," said Xu Jiannong, an education expert in Beijing. There is no more truth than this when one's life is the most important of all.

    In 1955 in Montgomery, Alabama, only white people were {#blank#}1{#/blank#} to sit in the first four rows of public buses. African-American people had to use the seats towards the {#blank#}2{#/blank#} of the bus.

    If someone {#blank#}3{#/blank#} was African-American sat in the white part, he or she would be asked to move.

    One day, an African-American named Rosa Parks was {#blank#}4{#/blank#} in a “whites only” part of the bus.

    The bus was {#blank#}5{#/blank#} and some white people needed a seat, so the driver asked Rosa Parks to give {#blank#}6{#/blank#} her seat.

    But she refused. She was {#blank#}7{#/blank#} after a long day working in a store and she felt she should have the right to sit {#blank#}8{#/blank#} she wanted, so she told the driver “no”.

    For that, she was arrested (逮捕). She was tried for just 30 minutes and fined (罚款) $10—a lot of money in those days.

    She also {#blank#}9{#/blank#} her job because of that.

    Today, in the United States, December 1 is a {#blank#}10{#/blank#} called Rosa Parks Day. Rosa Parks is celebrated for her action and bravery.
