According to a new survey, now in main big cities of China some schools have started to open an unusual lesson: self-protection. Many students show more interest in it than in other lessons.

Keep calm if you are not allowed to cry for help or run away. Give the robber your money or what he wants. Try to remember what the robber looks like and tell the police the robbery later on.

★If it is raining hard and there is lightning when you are out

Don’t stay in high places, stay away from trees and find a safe place to stay, such as buildings equipped with lightning protection devices (避雷装置).

★When there is a fire

Put wet things on your body and find an exit as quickly as possible, but don’t take the lift. If you can’t go out, try to prevent the smoke coming in the room and then call 119. Of course, if you are allowed, open the window and shout for help.

US teenagers Hannah Lucas, 15, and her brother Charlie, 13, have created an app called notOK. It came out in the US and Canada on Jan 31. People just need to pay $1.99 (12.5 yuan) each month to use it.

Imagine having an app that works like this: When you need help, just open the app, touch the “notOK” button and a text message will be sent to up to five pre-selected (预先选定的) people, along with a link to the user’s GPS location(位置). The message reads: “Hey, I’m not OK. Please call me, text me, or come find me”.

Hannah was inspired (启发) to create the app during a dark time in her life last year. She suffered from a disease that caused her to pass out(晕倒)at school. Other kids sometimes bullied (欺负)her about this. She felt sad and wanted to find an app that would allow her to get help when she wasn’t feeling OK.

She asked her brother Charlie, whose nickname is “Tech Support”, to find such an app. When they couldn’t find one, they decided to create one themselves.

They came up with some designs for the app first. Charlie took a programming class last summer and built a website for the app. Hannah also shared her idea in her summer business class. Some app developers showed interest and decided to help her.

Hannah is happy that her app is helping others. “It makes everything I went through(经历)last year worth it,” she said.

A.Hannah Lucas and her brother developed this app.

B.Users can use the app to call for help.

C.It can only send a message to a certain person.

D.Users can send their location to others through this app.

2.Why does Hannah Lucas pass out sometimes?

A.She has a disease that causes this to happen. B.She is often bullied at school.

C.She doesn’t get enough sleep. D.She gets too nervous about exams.

3.What did Hannah and her brother create this app for?

A.To make money to support their families.

B.To help people find new friends online.

C.To call on people to focus on(关注)school bullying.

D.To help people when they are not feeling well.

4.What can we learn from the last two paragraphs?

A.Hannah got her idea in her summer business class.

B.Hannah is happy that others find this app helpful.

C.Charlie and Hannah sold this app to an app developer.

D.Charlie had been learning programming for many years.

Students who get tired of looking at the four walls of a classroom might like to take the nature course being offered by Carvel College again this summer. Groups of about a dozen students each, led by an experienced guide, will go on ten-day camping trips to the mountains to study the plants and animals that grow and live there.

Students carry their own things which include sleeping bags, warm clothing, food and water, and other useful tools. And what do the students do all day? Well, as soon as the sun comes up, they eat breakfast and start climbing up the mountain trail(小路)to the next campground, which is five to ten miles away. The students take notes when the guide points out different plants and animals alongside the trail. The climb is usually over by early afternoon, so the group spends the rest of the day resting or swimming in a mountain lake. Before dinner each night, they all come together and discuss the day’s activities.

At the end of the course, the students write reports using the information they have collected. But they don’t mind at all. What they do mind is leaving the beauty of the wilderness(荒地)and the good friends they’ve made to return to their normal lives in the city.

1.What can the course offer to the students?

A.Better grades in school tests. B.Free vacations in mountains.

C.A different learning experience. D.A chance to study in Carvel College.

2.How far does a student have to walk every day?

A.About five to ten miles. B.About fifty to one hundred miles.

C.About two hundred miles. D.About one hundred and twenty miles.

3.What do the students have to do before dinner?

A.Wash themselves up in a mountain lake. B.Attend classes by the experienced guide.

C.Write about what they see along the trail. D.Review what they learn through discussion.

4.What can we infer from the course?

C.Pens and books will be useless in the course. D.Carvel College will offer the students everything.
