What does it feel like to break a bone(骨头)? It’s different for everyone, but the pain is often sharp(严重)．If the break is small, however, the person may not feel much pain at all．If you think that you or someone else has broken a bone, the most important things to do are to stay calm, make the hurt person comfortable, and call the doctor．Do not move the injured body part since movement could make it worse．
To treat the break, the doctor will need to take an X-ray．This gives the doctor the information he or she needs to set(接上)the bone：to put it back to its normal place．If the bone is large or it is broken in more than one place, the doctor may need to use metal pins(钢钉)to set it．After the bone has been set, the next step is usually putting on a cast, the special, hard thing that will keep the bone in place for a month or two．
Your bones are excellent at healing themselves．Broken bones will produce many new cells(细胞)and tiny blood vessels(血脉)．These cover both ends of the broken part, and close up the break until the bone is as whole and strong as before．

Close contacts between Japan and the rest of the world were created in the twentieth century．In the last forty years, business contacts between Japan and the West have become very important．Many foreign companies now have offices in Japan and Japanese businessmen do business around the world．Differences between Japanese and Western ways of doing business, however, often bewilder foreign businessmen and make doing business in Japan difficult for foreigners．
The American businessman, for example, wants to start talking business immediately．He does not want to wait．The Japanese businessman, on the other hand, likes to arrive at decisions after giving them serious thought．Another thing foreign businessmen have difficulty in understanding is when a Japanese means “Yes” or “No”．This is because of cultural differences between Japanese and Western society(社会), Which make it difficult for a Japanese to say “No” directly．

One day when some government officials were rebuilding a house, they found a mouse hole in a corner and used smoke to make the mice inside the hole come out．A while later they saw mice running out, one after another，but they saw two mice didn’t run away immediately．It seemed that one was trying to bite(咬)the tail of the other．

The building is shaking．A woman with a baby in her arms is trying to open the door, but fails．Finding no way, she rushes into her bedroom and there they survive the earthquake．
In a factory building, as the workshop floor swings under the terrible shaking, workers run for safety．Some hide(隐藏)under the machines and survive, but others who try to run outside are killed by the falling ceilings．
These scenes, played by actors and actresses, are from a film of science education 《Making a Split Second Decision shown in 1998 on China Central TV in memory of Tangshan Earthquake．
By studying actual cases in the earthquake areas and scientific experiments, experts(专家)find that buildings remain untouched for the first 12 seconds of an earthquake．
In this short time, one has the best chance of surviving an earthquake by staying near the inside walls, in bedrooms and under beds, experts concluded in the film．“Earthquakes seem to catch the lives of those who run,” said many survivors in the earthquake areas, describing how their friends were killed on the doorways or along the stair steps as they tried to get out of the building．

I went home one Saturday afternoon in the autumn of 1993 to get some work done in the garden．While sweeping leaves on the ground, my five-year-old son Nick came over and asked me to write something on a piece of paper to make a sign for him．
"What for?" I asked．
"I'm going to sell some of my stones," he answered．
Nick was fascinated with stones and had collected many stones from all over．
"I'm too busy to do that for you．Go and ask your mum for help," I said．
A short time later, Nick, returned with a sign, reading, " Stones, One Dollar Each"．He took the sign, a small chair and 4 of his best stones and walked to the road in front of our garden．There he put the stones in a line and sat down on the chair．

I remember the first time I met Alfred after years．He was sitting on a bench in the park．He looked very sad and cold．He hadn’t got a coat on and it started to rain．Usually, I don’t like to stop to speak to a stranger who looked like that．His shoes were well-cleaned and his clothes were quite smart, but he did not have an umbrella with him and he was getting wet in the rain．I stopped walking and said to him in a nice voice．“ Are you OK?” he looked up, and was surprised to see me．He cried out．“ Are you …” he couldn’t remember my name．I was also surprised．He was Alfred! “ I’m Tom, Alfred, what are you doing here?” I asked．He did not explain to me, but caught my hand, and asked how my life was like．I told him that I was out of job．I suggested that we go somewhere warm and dry．
So we found a café nearby and continued our conversation．I learned that he married with two children, and his wife was Sherry．I could not believe my ears．Twenty years ago his best friend was Linda, and Sherry was his worst enemy! They often had quarrels(争吵)and fights in the play．
Alfred told me that he became a businessman when he graduated from the school and owned two companies in the city．I asked him why he was sitting in the rain in the park．He said that he had just had a quarrel with Sherry, and acting in the same way as when she was young, threw him out of the door and locked him out．He was young, threw him out of the door and locked him out．He was waiting for her to be calm and let him in again．
