During the earthquake, the shakings make rocks rise suddenly and even
crack(断裂)open. Houses fall, people are killed or hurt, and sometimes the whole villages or cities are destroyed. Can we do something to keep ourselves safe from earthquakes?

Time flies． My summer vacation ended in the blink of an eye， but one thing is still on my mind． From July 25 to 27， I worked as a volunteer at the Wolong China Giant Panda Garden in Sichuan． I experienced the life of being a panda keeper．
My work included cleaning the pandas' home， feeding the pandas and making food for them． The panda I took care of was named Jingke． When I went to feed him， he would stretch（伸出） one of his forefeet out on a shelf that hung on the fence and wait for his food． He would quickly grab the food as soon as I brought it to him． Can you guess what would happened next？ Jingke would lie down and begin to eat． I could hear him crunching（嘎吱作响地咀嚼） on his food and see him twisting his body around like a dancer． It was really cute． This was one of the most interesting things I saw when I worked there．
When I fed Jingke， I touched his fur（毛）． Most people think that panda's fur would be soft． But actually， panda's fur is very hard． I felt like I was touching needles．I looked at his teeth， too﹣ they were sharp and big． No wonder the panda keepers told us that pandas are not only cute， but also dangerous．
I am happy to be so close to the pandas． This experience lets me know that it is no easy to be a panda keeper．
