What should you do if there's an earthquake at school？How can you protect yourself when you are caught in a stampede（踩踏）？March 25 this year provides you with a good chance to learn about safety．
This day is called the National Day of Education on the Safety of Elementary and Middle School Students（NDESEMSS）（全国中小学生安全教育日）．The theme of the day this year is to give students more knowledge about safety and make sure their lives safe．
A survey done by the China Youth and Children Research Center showed that school accidents kill more elementary and middle school students than anything else．The main accidents come from stampedes，earthquakes，fires and sports injuries（伤害）．
What can we do to keep ourselves safe？Staying calm（镇静）is the first and most important rule when facing accidents．But different accidents have different self﹣protection advice．
A stampede is possible anywhere．The larger a human crowd gets，the more likely stampedes become．When students around you begin to push，stand still and try to hold onto something，or stay in a comer until the crowd leaves．If you fall down in a moving crowd，cover your head with both hands．Lean to one side，curl up your body and bend your legs．
Earthquakes are common natural disasters（灾难）．When you feel the ground shake，drop down，take cover under a desk and hold on．You should stay indoors until the shaking stops．If you are outdoors，don't stay near buildings，trees or power lines．
When there's a fire，follow the teachers'instructions，leave the classroom quickly and use a piece of cloth to cover your mouth and nose so that you don't breathe in smoke．

Whenever the sun dropped and the blue sky came up, my father and I used to climb the mountain near my house. Walking together, my father and I used to have a lot of conversations through which I learned lessons from his experiences. He always told me, “You should have goals like climbing the mountain.” Without the mountain-climbing that we both enjoyed, we couldn’t have enough time to spend together because my father was very busy. I really got a lot from the mountain-climbing. It gave me time to talk with my father and to be in deep thought as well as develop my patience.
Once we climbed a very high mountain. It was so challenging for me because I was only ten years old. During the first few hours of climbing, I enjoyed the flowers and trees, and the birds’ singing. But as time passed, I got a pain in both of my legs. I wanted to quit climbing, but my father said to me, “You can always see a beautiful sky at the top of the mountain, but you can’t see it before you reach the top. Only there can you see all of the nice things, which is just like your life.”
At that time, I was too young to understand his words. But later after that, I got to know the meaning of hope in life. I found myself standing at the top of the mountain, and the sky was as clear as crystal.The passage tells us that mountain-climbing was ______ for the father and the son.

What might the future be like? Here are some predictions: things to come, things to go.
The Spring Festival, the most important Chinese holiday when everyone returns home, has caused headaches for millions of Chinese. More than 2 billion people travel at the same time, making getting travel tickets and the journey difficult. But in 28 years, Spring Festival travel may not be a problem at all. China plans to build more than 120,000 kilometers of railway and a fast transportation network that will serve 90% of the population by 2020. And because most of China will be cities, people will not have to go to other places to find a job, so it will no longer be a problem.

Oil is running out faster than expected. But scientists have found something else for oil as fuel(燃料). Coal, natural gas, solar power, nuclear power and even water can take the place of oil as sources of energy(能源).
Schools will go electronic(电子化). Computers will be important and popular among the students. Everything will be in the computer and students will not need to bring books to school. They will find information on the Internet. A computer will be the students’ library, schoolbag and connection to the outside world.
