May 12th， 2018is the 10th anniversary of Wenchuan Earthquake． Many of us may have remembered what happened on May 12th， 2008． The devastating 7.9magnitude Sichuan earthquake which killed about 90，000people in western China． It has been concerned（担忧） widely about what we can do when we encounter （遭遇） certain accidents． Therefore， how to deal with accidents in our daily life．
Earthquake is the first thing that I am going to talk about． Firstly， you need to rush to open space quickly if you are in a lower floor． Meanwhile， you should avoid trees or wires around you． Then you just need to wait for someone to save you． On the contrary（相反）， you need to stay in a corner which seems firm if you are in a higher building．（1） You should keep your body safe and wait for others to help you．
When it comes to fire， you need to distinguish the root of the fire and find out security exits．（2） Then you should crawl （爬行） on the floor． Do not use elevators or any electronic equipment．
Another accident is drowning． Every summer， about 5000kids die because of swimming alone in the river or the lake． Experts say that we have the more possibility of drowning if we struggle as best as we can or put our hands up． So what we should do is： " （3） " The summer holiday is coming， my dear friend， take care of yourself．
In a word， all kinds of accidents will happen in our daily life．（4） We should believe that the rate of danger can be minimized （机会少） and we can not only get chance to save ourselves but also help more others if we learn about how to deal with them in the first place．
| A． The most necessary thing is to keep calm and find the exact way． B． Do not be a jumper! C． To take a deep breath， lie on the water and wait for others to save us． D． The best way is to cover your nose and mouth with a wet towel． |
Winston Churchill once said， "We make a living by what we get， but we make a life by what we give．" These are certainly words that millions of volunteers around the world could agree with．
In the US， April is National Volunteer Month， to praise and thank volunteers who lend their time，talent， and support to what they care about．
（1） People who volunteer spend their time doing things they feel strongly about． For example， animal lovers may volunteer at an animal centre to help improve the treatment of animals．
Volunteering allows volunteers to meet new people， try out new skills and explore career choices．（2）
Take Andrew Makhoul， a student at the University of Pennsylvania， as an example． Andrew didn't spend his last spring break relaxing． Instead， the 19﹣year﹣old boy decided to do something for people who were less lucky than himself．He travelled to an orphanage（孤儿院）in Guatemala in Central America． （3） And it depends on volunteers to stay open．
Andrew doesn't speak much Spanish，but he found communication wasn't a problem，"You communicated with love，"according to an article on his university's website．And what he gave out，he got back，"
（4） " Andrew's first time as a volunteer only lasted a week， but by the end of that week， he knew he'd be back soon﹣ because he saw love and hope．
US author Sherry Anderson once wrote，"（5） " And this is perhaps why volunteers all around the world keep doing what they do﹣ their work is "priceless"．
A． It is in one of the poorest parts of the country． B． You could see love when you looked in their eyes． C． Volunteering means choosing to work without being paid． D． It's a chance for poor children to get better care and support． E． Life will be difficult， but I have the confidence to live a happy， full life． F． For young adults， valuable lessons may also be learned through volunteering． G． Volunteers don't get paid， not because they're worthless， but because they're priceless． |
A man died and was on his way to another world， either heaven （天堂） or hell （地狱）．He saw a beautiful huge palace．The owner came out and asked the man to stay and live in the palace．The man said，"（1） And now I just want to eat and sleep without doing any work．" The owner of the palace said， "（2） You can eat whatever you want． And nothing needs to be done by you." "That is great! This must be heaven!" said the man． And he lived in the palace．
（3） But gradually he felt a bit lonely and bored．So he went to the owner and said，"Just eating and sleeping every day is very boring．Now I'm losing interest in this kind of life．（4） " The owner replied， "Sorry， there are no jobs here at all．"
After another few months， the man could not stand it any more and went to the owner again．"I really can't stand this kind of life any more．" he said． "If you do not offer me a job， I would prefer to go to hell rather than live here．"
The owner of the palace smiled． "Where do you think we are now？" he said． "（5） ____ "

I wish there would be a way to describe China in a simple word but that's impossible．
▲（1） In my English classes when the students were asked what they would do if they only had a few hours to live， most students told me they would spend their last few hours with their families and parents．
▲（2） I teach in Xiangyang， a beautiful city which the Hanjiang River goes across it and I live here better． The foods are cheaper than those in the US， so are clothing and articles（物品） of everyday us． People pay less for the public transportation， too．
▲（3） However， it is reported that still there are a few children who can't afford the expenses（费用） of schooling． But the government organized Project Hope many years ago． It creates conditions for the poor children to go back to school．
▲（4） I seldom saw the things mentioned of the creative（有创造力的） changes China has made． But the economic miracles（经济奇迹） have the big problems．
▲（5） To be honest， if I compare China with the US， my answer has always been the same： "We are not worse or better than each other； we are only different． "

We should not use more water than we actually need． If we do， we will not have enough water in the future． （1） It is not a difficult question to answer． If we remove more fresh water than nature replaces， we have taken too much．
Many cities run campaigns（运动）to get people to stop wasting water． They show them ways they can cut back on water use． （2） What's more， they carry out programs that offer money to reduce water use． For example， they give people shower heads and toilets that use less water． （3）
Another threat（威胁）to our water supply is pollution． When our sources of fresh water get polluted， we can no longer use this water． This also endangers（危及） the animals that depend on the water．

Thousands of years ago， people had to hunt for food． They lived in caves and needed fire to keep warm．（1） ．
We don't know why they drew the pictures． They had to go deep into the cave to do it ， so they must have had a plan． They probably took a fire made of fat with them．（2） ． Others think the spears（长矛） in the pictures mean they were teaching other people to hunt．
For paint，they mixed animal fat with some different things such as dirt or berries（浆果）．（3） Some of the drawings are colorful and others are black from the burned end of a stick．
These people drew what they saw around them﹣animals such as buffalo， deer， horse， and sometimes birds and fish（4） ．
