People in Haiti have a devastating（极具破坏性的） earthquake. Though some of them were prepared, many were not prepared. They did not know what to do if there was an earthquake. Most people do not know what to do because they don’t experience it every day. If you live in an area where an earthquake is possible, you must be sure you know how to stay safe if an earthquake were to happen. What should we do when an earthquake comes.
First, prepare an emergency pack（急救包）, including food, water and a first-aid kit（急救药箱）. Put a flashlight, some batteries clothing and some money in the emergency pack. Put this emergency pack in a safe place.
Second, if you are inside, drop to the ground at once. Stay away from glass, windows, doors or anything that fall on you. Cover your head with a pillow（枕头） until the earthquake passes. If you are already outside, stay outside. Move away from tall buildings, bridges, streetlights and trees. The safest place is an open field. Stay there until the earthquake is over and all of the shaking stops.
At last, you can help others before yourself. If you see someone in danger, get your emergency pack and help them out.

Living in a foreign culture can be exciting, but it can also be confusing (令人迷惑的). A group of Americans who taught English in other countries recently discussed their experiences. They decided that miscommunications were always possible, even over something as simple as "yes" and "no".
On her first day in Micronesia, an island in the Pacific, Lisa thought people weren’t paying any attention to her. The day was hot. She went into a store and asked, “Do you have cold drinks. The woman there didn’t say anything. Lisa repeated the question. Still the Woman said nothing. She later learned that the woman had answered her: She had raised her eyebrows (眉毛), which in Micronesia means "yes".
Jan remembered an experience she had in Bulgaria, a country in Europe. She went to a restaurant that was known for its cabbage. She asked the waiter, "Do, you have cabbage today?" He nodded his head. Jan waited, but the cabbage never came. In that country, a nod means no.
Tom had a similar problem when he arrived in India. After explaining something in class, he asked his students if they understood. They answered with many different nods and shakes of the head. He thought some people had not understood, so he explained again. When he asked again, they did the same thing~ He soon found out that his students did understand. In India, people nod and shake their heads in different ways depending on where they come from. You have to know where a person is from to understand whether they mean "yes" or "no".
