According to a new survey,student safety has become a big problem. Nearly 50% of students say they are worried about robbery (抢劫) on the way to and from school. Now in many big cities in China,some schools have taught an unusual lesson: self-protection (白我保护) . Students like this lesson because there are no exams or boring classes. And they can learn how to save lives and know how to stop danger before it really happens.

   Chen Haoyu,a teacher at Beijing No. 25 Middle School and a self-protection expert (专家) ,gives young students advice on how to deal with danger.

   If you are robbed 

   Keep calm. If you can not cry for help or run away,give the robber your money. Try to remember what the robber looks like and tell the police later.

   If you are in a traffic accident 

   If a car hurts you,you should remember the car number;if it is a bicycle,try to call your parents before you let the rider go. This is because you don't know how badly you are hurt.

   If it is raining hard and there is lightning (闪电) 

   Don’t stay in high places and keep away from trees.

   When there is a fire 

   Get away as fast as you can. Put wet things on your body and try to find an exit (出口) . Do not take the lift!

   If someone is drowning (溺水) 

   If you can't swim,don't get into the water. Cry out for help. Remember that danger is never as far away as you think. Take care of yourself at all times!

  Some students think it difficult to learn English well. That's because they don't find the right way. I think reading is very important for students. The more you read,the better you’ll understand.

   Reading is helpful to listening,speaking and writing. If you often read English aloud,you’ll improve your listening. On the other hand,listening a lot can help you to read better. Reading English everywhere when you are free,if you wish. You can get a lot of knowledge when you read. Sometimes you need to express your ideas,you can either speak or write. That means you are using what you learned from reading. The same as Chinese,the more you read,the better you can write. If you want to remember something,you should read again and again.

   So from now on,you’d better do more reading. It's a good way to learn EngJish welJ.(江苏省盐城市景山 中学2013—2014学年八年级下学期期中考试英语试题)

It was Andy rode slowly on his way to school, day-dreaming about the fishing trip that his father had promised him. He was so busy dreaming about all the fish he would catch that he was unaware of everything else around him.

He rode along until a strange sound drew him to the present. He came to a stop and looked curiously up to the heavens. What he saw shocked and terrified him. A huge swarm of bees filled the sky like a black cloud and the buzzing mass seemed to be heading angrily towards him.

With no time to waste, Andy sped off in the opposite direction, riding furiously—but without knowing how to escape the swarm. With a rapidly beating heart and his legs pumping furiously, he sped down the rough road. As the bees came closer, his panic increased. Andy knew that he was sensitive to bee stings(蜇). The last sting had landed him in hospital—and that was only one bee sting! He had been forced to stay in bed for two whole days. Suddenly, his father’s words came to him.“When you are in a tight situation, don’t panic. Use your brain and think your way out of it.”

On a nearby hill, he could see smoke waving slowly skywards from the chimney of the Nelson family home. “Bees don’t like smoke,” he thought. “They couldn’t get into the house.” Andy raced towards the Nelson house, but the bees were gaining ground. Andy knew he could not reach the house in time. He estimated that the bees would catch up with him soon.

Suddenly, out of the corner of his eyes, he spotted a small dam used by Mr. Nelson to irrigate his vegetable garden. Off his bike and into the cool water he lived, disappearing below the surface and away from the savage insects. After holding his breath for as long as he could, Andy came up for air and noticed the bees had gone. Dragging himself out of the dam, he struggled up the hilly slope and rang the doorbell. Mrs. Nelson took him inside and rang his mother.

“You’ll really need that fishing break to help you recover,” laughed his mother with relief. “Thank goodness you didn’t panic!” But Andy did not hear her. He was dreaming once again of the fish he would catch tomorrow.
