In China, safety education(教育) is becoming more and more important now. The last Monday in March is for students to learn it at school. It helps students learn more about what they should do to keep themselves safe. What are the accidents at school Let's have a look.
Stampedes(踩踏), earthquakes and fires are the main accidents at school.
A stampede always happens in crowded places. When students around you begin to push, just stand there and try to hold onto something. If you fall down in the crowd(人群), move to one side and protect your head with your hands around.
When earthquakes happen, you can get under a desk quickly. It'll protect you from falling things. If you are outdoors, find a place away from buildings, trees, and power lines.
When there's a fire, leave the classroom quickly. It's better to put something wet over your mouth and nose. In this way, you won't breathe(呼吸) in smoke. Many people die in a fire not because of the fire but smoke. It makes them cough and they can't breathe. That's very dangerous! So when you want to get out, you should make yourself close to the floor. Then you can breathe some fresh air.
( )1. A stampede always happens in ________ places.
A. busy B. dirty C. crowded D. clean
( )2. When earthquakes happen, you can get ________ a desk quickly.
A. on B. under C. near D. behind
( )3. Which of the following sentences is TRUE
A. When there's a fire, don't leave the classroom quickly.B. Many people die in a fire not because of the fire but smoke.
C. When you want to get out, you shouldn't make yourself close to the floor.
D. It's better to put something dry over your mouth and nose.

Everyone tries to get to school on time. But when bad weather gives you trouble, can you still make it before the bell rings
In northern China during spring, big sandstorms(沙尘暴) often make trouble for students and everyone else. When the sky is dark with sand, buses and cars all move much more slowly. Sometimes, people can't even see for 20 metres.
Sandstorms usually happen in spring. This year, sandstorms started in late March. They have happened in more than 10 provinces(省) in northern China this year. More than 70 million people have had problems in those places because of the sandstorms.
People in southern China don't have to worry about this kind of bad weather. Most of the sand comes from Gansu Province and Inner Mongolia(内蒙古). In northern China, lots of places have few trees and don't get much rain. People there have been cutting down too many trees. When there aren't many trees, the ground can't keep enough water. Over the years, the ground dries up and turns to sand. When spring comes and the ice melts(融化), the ground becomes looser(更松散的). Strong winds take the loose sand into the sky.
Sandstorms are bad for people's health. If people breathe(呼吸) in too much sand, they could cough or have asthma(哮喘)．
Sandstorms also give farmers lots of problems. Sometimes their sheep get lost in the storms and never get back home. The winds also tear__down farmers' houses.
What can you do to stop sandstorms Here's an idea: Ask your parents to help you plant some trees this spring.
If you see people cutting down too many trees, tell them about the dangers of sandstorms, and ask your government to stop them from cutting.
( )1. Which of the following provinces in China is often hit by sandstorms A. Fujian Province. B. Yunnan Province. C. Jiangsu Province. D. Gansu Province.
( )2. The underlined phrase “tear down” in the sentence means “________”．
A. 使……哭泣 B. 弄倒 C. 摧残 D. 加固
( )3. According to the passage, what CANNOT be caused by sandstorms
A. Health problems. B. Traffic problems.
C. The loss of farm animals. D. Noise pollution(污染)．
( )4. Which is NOT stated in the passage
A. Trees can help keep enough rain water.
B. More trees need to be planted.
C. Some people are doing harm to the environment.
D. Sandstorms are the main cause of asthma.
