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 wear bright-color clothes，so the drivers can see us easily．Don't believe strange people in the street．
At school: When students around us begin to push each other，we need to stand still and try to hold onto something，or stay in a corner until the crowd leaves．If we fall down in a moving crowd，use both hands to cover the head．Lean to one side，curl up（蜷缩） our body and bend（使弯曲） the legs．
In a fire：Stay calm．Leave the classroom quickly under the directions of 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 rum 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 look or smell bad，don’t eat it．

Have you ever dreamed about sending a letter to yourself or your friends in the future? While express mail represents high speed，there is another type of mail appearing in China as a new business--future mail．
"The letter should be sent next ' Mother's Day’ and not a day earlier!" Lin Xiaofan，a senior high school student in Hefei，instructs one of the companies offering the service．
Lin Xiaofan wrote the letter to her mother in advance to express her love to her mother for next Mother's Day．
"Offering this service makes people slow down and let them understand the meaning of 'time' in another way，" said Zheng Zhimin，manager at a "future mail" company in Hefei． Zheng thinks "future mail" letters are "reminders of care，friendship and love"．
While "future mail" is becoming more and more popular，some people are wondering what will happen if the postal address changes or if the company goes broken before the letters arrive．
Zheng said customers are glad to complete an acceptance form and make an assessment（评估） so they can be compensated（赔偿） if their letters or goods are lost or damaged．
Most of the business' customers are college students and young white-collar workers．Psychologists said young Chinese might have a new way to express their feelings through this service．
"Most people put their hopes and wishes in the letter so they can experience the connection between the past and the present while they receive the letter．It can help people re-understand the meaning of 'time' ，" said Wang Kaiyu，a sociologist in Anhui Province．

Water pollution happens when waste things from many areas are thrown into rivers，lakes and seas．
Agriculture
To get more food，farmers use large amounts of chemicals（化学制品）．When the chemicals are not completely used by the plants，they are washed away by the rainwater into rivers， lakes and seas， which pollute both surface water and underground water．
Factories and industries often release poisonous chemicals into seas，rivers or lakes，which is quite bad for Mother Nature．An example of industrial sea pollution happened in Japan in the 1950s．A local factory had poured waste water with mercury（水银） into the Minamata Bay for 20 years．Tuna fish in the bay took in the mercury and people ate the tuna．Many children were born with birth deformities（畸形）．As a result，people lost their hearing and sight，and thousands of people died in the end．
Sea transportation
When ships transporting oil get damaged on the way，oil spillage（溢出） happens．One major disaster was the Exxon Valdez oil spill．An oil tanker sank off Alaska in1989 and leaked（泄漏） oil into the ocean．To save cost，some ships also poured unwanted oil from their engine rooms into the sea，thus polluting the oceans．
Home activities

"An Englishman，even if he is alone，forms an orderly queue of one，" wrote a famous British author，George Mikes．While this sounds funny，it's a popular English stereotype（刻板印象）．From the supermarket to the subway，queues are a common sight on the streets of Britain．
Here in China，queues are normal，too．It is a part of everyday life．People queue most of the time，from buying tickets in the cinema to waiting for seats at a restaurant．But in certain situations，you'll find yourself in the middle of a rushing crowd，such as getting onto the subway．Even away from the busy subway platform，queues are different．
One day I was standing in line at the supermarket．I left a small space in front of me．Within seconds，a girl walked by and took her place in that small space．I was surprised at first，but later I found these experiences very interesting．It is with these small，everyday differences that I get to live and learn in a new culture．
Back in Britain，the person spends about six months of their life waiting in a queue，according to the auction site MadBid．To pass the time，maybe they tell themselves the famous proverb．．Good things come to those who wait．
