When talking about the little town, Yibin, Southwest China’s Sichuan Province, we’ve always been thinking about Yibin Noodles and Wuliangye Rice wine until one night on June 17th, when most people were about to sleep, a 6.0-magnitude earthquake (地震) hit the lovely town, which caused 13 deaths and many other injuries. During the normal earthquake, houses fell down, the earth shook, lots of people rushed out to the streets. Everything was in a mess.
Soldiers and experts quickly arrived in the area. They helped save people and rebuild homes. Tens of thousands of people have given money to help. Yang Yan, a sixth-grader in Yibin, Sichuan, was taking a drawing class in a tent on June 19th. She drew a house with wings. “If my house could fly, it wouldn’t have fallen down in an earthquake,” she told the West China Metropolis Daily.
Earthquakes do much harm (危害) to our life, and some other serious earthquakes also cause a tsunami (海啸) and a nuclear leak (核泄漏). But we can’t stop an earthquake from happening. However, we can use some methods to reduce the harm. The American Red Cross introduced the “Drop, Cover & Hold on” methods.
Drop down onto your hands and knees. This can stop you from falling. Cover your head and neck under a strong table or desk. If there is no shelter (遮盖物) nearby, you can also stay by a wall, and cover your head and neck with your arms and hands Hold on to your shelter until the shaking stops.
It’s also important that we are well prepared for these kinds of disasters. Japan is considered to be one of the best countries at dealing with earthquakes. From a young age, the Japanese are taught how to survive (幸存) them. Schools in Japan often take earthquake drills (演练). Almost every Japanese family as a survival kit (救生包) with a flashlight, a radio, water and enough food for several days. This helps people to stay alive after an earthquake.
March 28th is China’s National School Safety Day. “There should be more safety training at schools in our country,” said Xu Jiannong, an education expert in Beijing. “There have been many earthquakes around the world in recent years. It is necessary for teenagers to know some safety tips for earthquakes.”

Learning vocabulary doesn't have to be boring. Many students have problems with vocabulary.
Repeated encounters(反复遇见)
The usual way of “memorizing” new material is repeating it. However, simply repeating a word seems to have little effect.
Interval review(间隔复习)
