    Earthquake can strike without warning. But many injuries and deaths from this kind of natural disaster can be prevented if people follow these safety tips.

    If you're inside a building, stay there! One of the most dangerous things to do in an earthquake is to try to leave a building. Drop to the ground. Get under an object that is not easily damaged. Hold on to it until the shaking stops. You can also get to a comer formed by two walls with your arms over your hand. If you're in bed when the quake hits, stay there and protect your head with a pillow.

    Don't take shelter under a tree, streetlights, electric poles or tall buildings. If you are driving, stop as quickly as possible and stay away from overpasses, buildings, bridges or anything else that might fall or collapse beneath you.

    If you are trapped in ruins, cover your mouth with a handkerchief or a piece of clothing. Use your cell phone to call for help if possible. Don't shout. Tap on a pipe or the wall so rescuers can find you.

    Be prepared for aftershocks. However, sometimes they even happen months later. Therefore, if you are not in a safe position after the first shock, you should move quickly but carefully to a safer place.

A. Don't move about or kick up dust.

B. If you're outside, go to an open space.

C. Shouting can cause you to breathe in dust.

D. Don't park your car under a tree or any tall object.

E. Take a good hold of your cell phone in the building.

F. They can happen in the first hours after the earthquake.

G. Most injuries happen when people inside buildings try to go out.

We are looking forward to living harmony  all wildlife.

    Growing coffee beans is a huge, making-money business. However, unluckily, full-sun production is replacing the industry and causes a lot of damage. The change in growing coffee from shade-grown(荫下栽种) production to full-sun production brings certain animals and birds in danger, and even breaks the world's ecological balance(生态平衡).

    On a local level, the damage of the forest that is required by full-sun fields affects the area's birds and animals. The shade of the forest trees gives a home to birds and other species which depend on the trees' flowers and fruits. Full-sun coffee growers destroy this forest home. As a result, many species are quickly in extinction.

    On a more global level, the damage to the rainforest for full-sun coffee fields also does harm to human life. Medical research often makes use of the forests' plant and animal life, and the ruin of such species could keep researchers from finding ways for certain diseases. In addition, new coffee-growing methods are harmful to the water locally, and lastly the world's groundwater.

    Both locally and globally, the continued spread of full-sun coffee plantations(种植园)could mean breaking the balance of the rainforest ecology. The loss of shade trees is already causing a little change in the world's climate(气候), and studies show that the loss of oxygen-giving trees also leads to air pollution and global warming. Besides, the new growing methods are bringing about acidic (酸性) soil conditions.

It is clear that the way much coffee is grown affects a lot, from the local environment to the global ecology. But coffee users do have a choice. They can buy shade-grown coffee whenever possible, although at a higher cost. The future health of the planet and mankind is surely worth more than an inexpensive cup of coffee.

The only way we can really successfully deal with the unpleasant or unknown situations is to stay open minded. . Here is what they say worth trying.

Stay calm. One of the fastest ways to close your mind is to feel annoyed. . So try taking a deep breath and calming down a little to help fight the feelings of defensiveness or annoyance that might pop up when you find something that doesn't quite match how you see the world.

Be curious. This sounds easy, but it's not. It requires an active choice when you meet something you didn't know. You have to keep asking yourself. "Do I just assure this is something I already knew? Or do I want to be curious?" .

Surround yourself with the right people. Open-mindedness is often thought of as a one way street. . But the truth is that you can go both ways if you are surrounded by right people.

. Being around different people day to day can actually change your brain and you are more likely to see the world in a new way. And that's what real open mindedness is about: the willingness to consider, even briefly, another point of view.

A. Many of us consider ourselves open minded

B. So it's possible that a little bit of help could be the push we need

    Nowadays, it is common more and more high school students open their own microblogs on the Internet. For one thing, it can provide a colorful platform to show their talent. For another, it is a useful way (release) their pressure. And all these make it more and more popular with high school students. But many parents and teachers hold a different view. They think that managing one's microblog will take a lot of time and energy， should be used to study.

    In my view, I am greatly in favor this activity. Today the Internet is playing  important role in our life. Therefore, as high school students of the Information Age, we need to learn to make use of this (value) tool to communicate and display ourselves. What's more, opening and organizing microblogs need various abilities such as writing, designing, being skillful at computer and so on. Only if we master those abilities can we make a successful microblog. As a result, we improve ourselves while (organize) our micro blogs.

    In fact, the microblog (oneself) is of little harm. It is your attitude towards it that (matter). We should take the(advantage) and avoid some bad effects.

The boy swam so fast in spite of his (disable), which made others envy him a lot.

          The adobe dwellings (土坯房)    （build）by the Pueblo Indians of the AmericanSouthwest are admired by even   most modern of architects and engineers. In addition to their simple beauty, what makes the adobe dwellings admirable is their   (able) to “air condition” a house without  ( use) electric equipment. Walls made of adobe take in the heat from the sun on hot days and give out that heat   ( slow) during cool nights, thus warming the house. When a new day breaks, the walls have given up their heat and are now cold enough  (cool) the house during the hot day; the same time, they warm up again for the night. This cycle       (go) day after day: The walls warm up during the day and cool off during the night and are thus always a timely offset(抵消) for the outside temperatures. As   (nature) architects, the Pueblo Indians figured out exactly   thick the adobe walls needed to be to make the cycle work on most days.

    The sound of a mosquito can mean trouble in many parts of the world. The bite of the mosquito can be deadly. The insects carry serious diseases like malaria (疟疾). It is estimated that almost 630,000 people died from malaria and malaria­related causes in 2012, and most of these cases were in African countries.

    In the United States, a group of California scientists are working to develop a more effective and less costly substance (物质) to protect people from mosquitoes. The researchers are investigating the sense of smell in mosquitoes. They found the insects use the same receptor for identifying carbon dioxide in human breath as they do for the smell of our skin. Anandasankar Ray, who is leading the investigation, says scientists tested more than a million chemical compounds (化合物) until they found a substance called Ethyl Pyruvate. He says Ethyl Pyruvate makes the mosquitoes' receptors inactive. “When we apply Ethyl Pyruvate to a human arm and offer it to hungry mosquitoes in a cage, very few of the mosquitoes are attracted to the human arm because only a few of them are able to smell it out,” said Ray.

    Genevieve Tauxe, a member of the research team, says it was not easy to find the neurons (神经元) of noble cells that recognize both the smell of human breath and skin. “With the device used to examine the mosquito, we are able to insert a very small electrode (电极) into the part of the mosquito's nose, where its smelling neurons are and where the smell is happening,” said Tauxe.

    Anandasankar Ray says a product based on Ethyl Pyruvate may cost less to produce than DEFT, the most effective chemical treatment now in use. He says DEFT is too costly for most people who live in areas affected by malaria.

    “Perhaps by finding smells that can attack other target receptors, we will be able to improve upon DEFT and finally have the next generation of insect behaviour control products,” said Ray.

     we know, there are three medalists in Olympic races: the gold, the silver, and the bronze (铜牌).

    Imagine what it's like to be the silver medalist. If you  (be) just one second faster, you could have won the gold! So close! You would keep comparing yourself to be the gold winner, full  envy.

    Now imagine what it's like to be the bronze medalist. One second  (slow), and you wouldn't have won anything! Whoo-hoo! You would be thrilled that you were  (official) an Olympic medalist, and got to stand on the winner's podium at all.

    You can  compare up or compare down and your (happy) depends on where you're focusing. This is easy to understand, but hard to remember in everyday life. If you catch yourself  (bum) with envy of anger, think like the bronze medalist, not the silver. Change your focus.

    For example, if you buy something that is “the best”, you may feel like a gold winner, but when the new “best”  (come) out next year, you'll feel like the siver. Instead, if you look at what you buy as something “surprisingly good”, it will keep you in the bronze mindset. Since you're not comparing it to best, you'll feel no need  (keep) up with the newest thing.

During the summer vacation, I took part in 16th Natural English Contest (竞赛), in which I was listed in the top 10 and (get) valuable experience.
