【小题1】Who could not take the English exam?

Stay as safe as possible during an earthquake.  Be aware that some earthquakes are actually foreshocks (前震) and a larger earthquake might occur.  Reduce your movements to a few steps to a nearby safe place.
If you are indoors,  do “duck，cover and hold”.  Duck or drop down to the floor, under something strong,  such as a table or a desk，cover your head and face with your arms and hands and hold on to that table or desk so that it does not move away from you as the ground shakes.  Do this until the shaking stops and it is safe to move.  Stay inside to avoid being injured by falling glass or building parts.  If there isn’t a table or desk near you, cover your face and head with your arms and crouch(捲缩）in an inside comer of the building.
Stay clear of windows，fireplaces, and heavy furniture that may fall over.  Stay inside until the shaking stops and it is safe to go outside.  Research has shown that most injuries occur when people inside buildings attempt to move to a different  location inside the building or try to leave.
If you are outside, get into the open and stay there.  Move away from trees，buildings, signs and power lines.  Once in the open, stay there until the shaking stops. The greatest danger exists directly outside buildings,  at exits  and alongside exterior walls. Ground movement during an earthquake is seldom the direct cause of death or injury.  Most earthquake-related casualties (伤亡) result from collapsing walls,  flying glasses, and falling objects.
If you are driving, you may not realize what is going on at first because the car may feel like it is going to blow up.  Stop the car in as clear and open an area as possible and stay in it until the shaking stops.  If it is a really bad quake, turn on the radio to find an emergency channel to get information.  Follow the directions of people directing traffic.
If you are in a mountainous area,  watch out for falling rock and other debris that could be loosened by the earthquake.
If you are at the beach,  move quickly to higher ground or several hundred yards inland.

When a light passenger plane flew off course[跑道] some time ago, something was wrong with it and it crashed[坠毁] in the mountains and its pilot was killed. The only passengers, a young woman and her two baby daughters, were unhurt. It was the middle of winter. Snow lay thick on the ground. The woman knew that the nearest village was kilometers away. She couldn’t find anything in the snow but a suit-case[行李箱]. When it grew dark, she turned the suit-case into a bed and put the children inside it, covering[盖] them with all the clothes she could find. During the night, it got terribly cold. The woman kept as near as she could to the children and even tried to get into the case herself, but it was too small. Early next morning, she heard planes flying above and wanted to know how she could send a signal[信号Then she had an idea. She wrote the letters ‘SOS’ in the snow. Luckily, a pilot saw the signal and sent a message by radio to the nearest town. It was not long before a group of people arrived and they took the woman and her daughters to hospital at once.
