Because earthquakes happen without warning, it’s important to take steps now to prepare. Because you don’t know where you will be when an earthquake happens, prepare some supplies(急需品) for your home, work place, and car.
1．Water
A person needs at least 1/2 gallon(加侖，容量單位) of water daily just for drinking. Store at least 1 gallon of water per(每一個) person per day and be prepared for a 72 hour period. It is suggested that you buy bottled water. Keep bottled water in its original container(容器) and do not open it until you need to use it. Also, do check the “use by” date.
2．Food
It’s always a practical idea to keep a supply of non perishable(不易腐爛的) food on hand. Have an enough supply of canned(灌裝的) food, powdered milk(奶粉), dried fruits, non salted nuts and canned juices for at least 72 hours.
3．Flashlights(手電筒) and spare batteries(備用電池)
Keep a flashlight beside your bed, at your place of work, and in your car. Do not use matches or candles after an earthquake until you are sure that no gas leaks(泄漏).
Prepare a battery powered(裝電池的) radio and spare batteries. Most telephones will be out of order(發(fā)生故障), so radios will be your best source of information.
4．Clothes
If you live in a cold place, you must think about warmth. You might not have heat after an earthquake. Think about your clothing and bedding supplies.

If you want to find out a piece of information about anything , the best place to search for it is Wikepedia. This online encyclopedia is written by thousands of people around the world. Anyone can add or change the information if he or she finds it not correct or not well written. In this way, people who know a lot about a certain subject can write about it even if they are not university professors.
What is more, Wikepedia includes articles written in about 235 languages. This fact makes it one of the few websites (網(wǎng)站)on the Internet that are truly international. It was started in 2001 by Larry Sanger and Jimmy Wales, as a free online English-language encyclopedia project. By April 2008, over 10 million articles had been put on Wikipedia. A quarter of the articles are in English. Wikipedia is also a place where people can find the latest news.
However, Wikipedia has its own problems. There have been many complaints that some of the information on Wikipedia is not accurate and some important subjects are not included. This has led to arguments between the writers of articles. The people running Wikipedia say that the accuracy of the information is improving and that it is one of the top 20 visited websites on the Internet.

If the child has been brought up in a loving, openly communicative environment, the relationship with parents would be a strong one．It is only when there are ongoing troubles in the relationship between parents and the child that there is a breakdown in communication．
When parents are going through difficulties in their own relationship, the child sometimes develops guilt．The child can hold himself or herself responsible for the breakdown in relationship between the parents．This needs to be explained to the child, who won’t speak out this guilt．
