When the big earthquake hit Japan last year,workers in a supermarket in Japan didn't run away.Instead,they held on to the shelves and tried to stop the goods from falling down.

Reporters from NHK,the country's largest TV station,stayed calm in front of cameras during the earthquake ,even though some were facing real danger.

The earthquake was the most powerful one to hit Japan in the country's history.But Japan's reaction to the earthquake has shown that it is the most earthquake-prepared country in the world.The calm that they showed during and after the quake has impressed the world.

This is because Japan has an earthquake culture.Japanese people are taught how to prepare for and react to an earthquake from a young age.

One way kids learn about earthquake safety is from the cartoon character Maruko,a 9-year-old student.In Chibi Maruko Chan(《樱桃小丸子》),Maruko has to wear a protective hat in an earthquake practice.Schools in Japan organize earthquake practices every month.They make students become familiar(熟悉的)with being in an earthquake.

Japan also has a good earthquake warning(警告)system. The warning system is unable to predict an earthquake, but it can usually alert(使警觉)people about 15 seconds before they feel the effects. Even 15 to 20 seconds can be enough to save people's lives.
