Question

【题目】No first lesson is more important than the one on personal safety for kids. The First Lesson of the New Semester, a TV documentary about how to protect oneself in times of emergency, is meant to provide school students with the knowledge on self-protection. It will help students in case of natural disasters, snowstorms or floods.

There are times when one can be helpless and hopeless in many life-threatening situations. But that does not mean we __________ the end of life at that time. Many examples show that enough knowledge about self-protection along with enough courage and determination can help many survive.

The most recent example is from May earthquake in Sichuan Province. When thousands of school kids were killed by collapsed (坍塌的) school buildings, all students from a middle school survives even without a single one being hurt. That's because of their timely and orderly escape, which they had been drilled in every semester.

Japan has set a good example for us in safety lessons. Survival exercises are held in Japanese schools every year. With different kinds of competitions and training, schools help the students be aware and capable of surviving disasters.

It's good to see this program is the core (核心) of a national campaign to warn students the importance of personal safety. Chinese Education Ministry has called on all schools nationwide to give lessons on self-protection knowledge in times of emergency every semester.

Life is weak but can be strengthened when one is armed with enough knowledge on how to best survive.
