A．How Earthquakes Happen

B．How to Drive a Car

C．What We Should Do in Earthquakes

D．Why Earthquakes Happen

Earthquakes can be very scary（嚇人的）. But you need to keep your mind stable (堅(jiān)定的) in order to make sure you are safe. Be calm and try not to run here and there.
If you manage to come out of your house, go to an open space like a garden or a park where you will be a lot safer. If you live quite some floors above in your building, try to find a place near a bulky(堅(jiān)固的) object such as a bed. Curl up (蜷縮) and sit on the floor and make sure you are not near a window, fireplace, gas stove and so on. Remember don’t use lifts or escalators.
Some people say you should stand on a doorway. That is not true. If the doorway jambs (側(cè)壁) are weak, they might fall on you. Also if people want to pass through that door, you may stop them. Leave all doorways free.
Another important thing to keep in mind is that you mustn’t climb down the stairs during an Earthquake. If the tremors (震動(dòng)) stop, after a few seconds, just climb down the stairs as quickly as you can and move out of the building, but don’t run.
Earthquakes usually destroy gas pipes and electrical wires. Turn off the main gas. And don’t light candles or lighters and create an even bigger disaster.
If you’re driving and feel a shake, stop your car at the side of the road and get out. Make sure you are not on a bridge. Bridges and overhead roads (高架路) have the biggest danger of falling.

Making friend is a skill. Like most skills, it improves with practice. If you want to meet people and make friends, you must be willing（樂(lè)意） to take some action. You must first go where there are people. You won’t make friends staying home alone.

Join a club or group, talking with those who like the same things you do is much easier. Or join someone in some activity.

Many people are nervous when talking to new people. After all, meeting strangers means facing the unknown. And it’s human nature to feel a bit uncomfortable about the unknown.

Most of our fears about dealing with new people come from doubts about ourselves. We imagine other people are giving an opinion about us-finding us too tall or too short, too this or too that. But don’t forget that they must be feeling the same away. Try to accept(接受)yourself as you are, and try to put the other person at ease(不拘束). You’ll both feel more comfortable.

Try to keep self-confident(自信)even when you don’t feel that way when you enter a room full of strangers, such as a new classroom, walk tall(趾高氣揚(yáng))and straight, look directly at other people and smile.

If you see someone you’d like to speak to, say something. Don’t wait for the other person to start a conversation.

Just meeting someone new does not mean that you will make friends with that person-friendship is based on each other’s liking and “give and take”. They take time and efforts to develop. And there are things that keep a new friendship from growing.

1.If you want to meet people and make friends, what should you do?

   A. Join a club or group.      B. Talk with those who like the same things.

   C. Join someone in some activity.      D. All of the above(上面)

2.In the sentence “After all, meeting strangers means facing the unknown.”, the word “unknown” means _____.

   A. without somebody knowing      B. without somebody liking

   C. unfriendly                    D. unpleasant

3.How do you feel more comfortable when you are with new people?

A. Shake hands with others

B. Accept yourself as you are, and put the other as ease

   C. Don’t talk with those who don’t like.

D. Walk tall and straight.

4.If you’d like to speak to someone, what should you do?

    A. You should wait until the person says something.

  B. You should stay home alone.

    C. You should cough until the person notices you.

 D. You should say something at first.

5.Friendship is based on______

    A. meeting for the first time    B. each other’s liking and “give and take”

    C. keeping self-confident      D. facing the unknown
