There are many different kinds of disasters around the world．As an adult you know what to do during a disaster，but what about the children？Some adults think it would probably never happen to them，so they don't teach their children what to do．Before it's too late，here are ways to help you prepare your child for a disaster：
Educate：It is always good to let your child know about possible disasters．This doesn't mean children have to live in fear．When teaching them about disasters，keep the conversation positive（积极的）by telling them there is a solution（解决办法）to the disaster．Keep the conversations short，allow for questions and answer honestly．
Prepare：Always be prepared，that is the best advice for children．For example，when preparing for bad weather，get the tools you need，like candles，radios，food，water and medicine．Teach your child what is needed in certain disasters so that they know what is available for them，if ever needed．
Plan：You should always have a plan for you and your child for any dangerous situation．Write out a simple list that they can read．The plan could start with"listen to an adult's advice and/or call 119"．
Practice：Once you have got the correct safety tools and worked out the right plan，practice every few months．Practicing what to do during a disaster with your child will help them if the time comes．
Disasters can't be avoided but they can be lessened（减轻）once you are prepared and ready for one．

Do you live in a city? Do you know how cities began? Long long ago， there were only a few thousand people in the world. These people moved from place to place. They moved over the land， hunting（打猎）animals for food.
A long time passed. These people began growing crops. No one knows how or when those people learned about growing food. But when they did， their lives changed， they did not have to move houses any more.
They could stay in one place and grow it. People began to live near each other. And so the first villages grew. Many people came to work in the villages. These villages grew bigger and bigger. Then people had machines， and lives in the villages changed again. They built factories. So the villages grew into cities. Some of them grew very big.
Today， some people are moving back to small towns.How many people were there in the world long long ago?

Last summer， my family and I went on a trip to the China Dinosaur Park in Changzhou by bus. The one-hour trip seemed very long. We arrived at the park at about 9 a.m.
There were many fun places for us to choose from. We first went to the Crazy Firedrake（喷火龙）Drill. When I looked at the giant yellow machine， I wasn't afraid at all， But when I was really on it， I felt a little nervous. First， the machine took us to the highest point. We all screamed（尖叫） "Ah". 1 dared（敢）not look down. Then it turned around fast and moved very quickly at the same time. The wind was so strong that I couldn't open my eyes. I felt as if I would fall down. 1 couldn't stop screaming through the whole ride. It only moved for a few minutes， but it seemed to be many hours. When the game ended， I was too frightened to walk.
Later we took part in the game called “Crossing Jurassic（侏罗纪）”. After waiting for half an hour， we got into a boat. The boat went into a tall building. It was dark around us. There were many model dinosaurs on both sides. They looked like the real ones. From time to time. the model dinosaurs made some frightening shouts， which sounded terrible.
