Because earthquakes happen without warning, it’s important to take steps now to prepare. Because you don’t know where you will be when an earthquake happens, prepare some supplies for your home, workplace, and car.
1. Water.
A person needs at least 1/2 gallon of water daily just for drinking. Store at least 1 gallon of water per person per day and be prepared for a 72-hour period. It is suggested that you buy bottled water. Keep bottled water in its original container and do not open it until you need to use it. Also, do check the “use by” date.
2. Food.
It’s always a practical idea to keep a supply of non-perishable(不易腐烂的) food on hand. Have an enough supply of canned food, powdered milk, dried fruits, non-salted nuts and canned juices for at least 72 hours.
3. Flashlights(手电筒) and spare batteries.
Keep a flashlight beside your bed, at your place of work, and in your car. Do not use matches or candles after an earthquake until you are sure that no gas leaks.
Prepare a battery-powered radio and spare batteries. Most telephones will be out of order, so radios will be your best source of information.
4. Clothes.
If you live in a cold place, you must think about warmth. You might not have heat after an earthquake. Think about your clothing and bedding supplies.

Happiness is for everyone. You don’t need to care about those people who have beautiful houses   21 large gardens and swimming pools or those who have nice cars and a lot of money and so on. Why?    22  those who have big houses may often feel lonely and those who have cars may want to walk on the country roads at their   23 time.
In fact, happiness is always around you if you put your heart into it. When you are in trouble at school, your friends will   24 you. When you study hard at your lessons, your parents are always taking good care of your life and your health. When you get   25 , your friends will say congratulations to you. When you do something wrong, people around you will help you to correct it. When you do something good to others, you will feel happy,  26 . All these are your happiness. If you notice   27 of them, you can see that happiness is always around you. Happiness is not the same   28 money. It is a feeling of your heart. When you are poor, you can also be very happy ,because you have something else that can’t be bought with money .When you meet difficulties, you can say   29 you are very happy ,because you have more chance to challenge yourself .So you cannot always say you are poor and you have  30  luck. As the old saying goes : “Life is like a revolving door, when it closes, it also opens .”If you take every chance you meet ,you can be a happy and lucky person.

When I was seven years old my mom was diagnosed(诊断) with cancer. The doctors told us my mom might be saved with surgery(手术). But it could also kill her. She chose to have it.
The day before the surgery I was off school, and my mom planned the best day of my life, everything I loved at seven and everything that would put a smile on my face. The day began with her waking me up saying, “Kate, I have a surprise for you. Come and see.” The surprise was a doll I had wanted for the longest time. Throughout the day, she told me everything that she thought I would need to know to grow up and be a good person; she told me to be the best I could be and that I would always make her proud. We had a picnic in the park, and it was so cold that we moved to the car. The day was filled with laughter. For the first time in a long time I could see she was really happy. I would never forget her smile, or the way her eyes shone as if we were the same age. It was the best day of my life, and I will never forget the conversations we shared.
My mother managed to live through the surgery. Now when I look back, I realize that the best day of my life could be her last and this could be the last day I would remember with her, the last one we shared. I also understand how unselfish a mother is.
