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 least1 gallon of water per person per day and be prepared for a 72-hour period. It’s 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, dried milk, dried fruits, non-salted nuts and canned juices for at least 72 hours.

3. Flashlights 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.

Homework is a big part of going to school. Unluckily, homework has to be done outside class—during times when you would probably much rather be doing something else, for example, you like going to a birthday party instead of copying out a whole Chinese text. Luckily, there are several things you can do to make homework less work

First, be sure you understand the task. Write it down in your notebook if you need to, and don’t be afraid to ask questions about what’s expected. If you want, you can also ask how long the special homework task should take to finish, so you can plan your time.

Second, use any small pieces of time you have in school to work on your homework. Many schools have study halls that allow students to study or get homework done. The more work you can get done in school means the less you’ll have to do that night.

What if you don’t have time in school to get homework done? You’ll need to think about how much homework you have for a given night and what else is going on that day, and then plan your time. Most high school students have more than two hours of homework a night. If it’s a heavy homework day and it seems like you got a task in every subject but gym and lunch, you’ll need to spend more time on homework. It’s a good idea to come up with some kind of homework timetable, especially if you enjoy sports or activities or have an after-school job.
