Safety tips in an earthquake
Is an earthquake dangerous? Yes, of course. However, if you know what to do in an earthquake,
you can be safe.
Keep a cool head. Worry may cause bad decisions. Think about what you should do. The first
several minutes are important.
If you are indoors during an earthquake, quickly move to a safe place in the room such as under
a desk or table. Take care of your head. Stay away from windows and things that may fall and hurt
you.
If you are in a crowded room and far away from the door, don’t rush to it. You will find too
many people trying to escape（逃生）at the same time. Instead, stay under a desk or table. Don’t
use an elevator. You may not get out of it.
Stay in a safe place until you are sure it’s OK to leave. Some aftershocks（余震）may follow
an earthquake. These are as dangerous as the earthquake.
If you are in debris, try to free your hands and legs. You may make much noise by hitting stones.
Shouting will make you tired. Try to find some water. They are important for you if you aren’t found
in a short time. Wait patiently till you get help.
1. What should you do in the first several minutes during an earthquake?
A. Follow others.
B. Rush to the door anyway.
C. Keep a cool head and think about what you should do.
D. Wait patiently for help.

B. stay near a window
C. stay under a strong desk
D. stay under an air conditioner (空调) on the wall
4. Why can’t you use an elevator during an earthquake?
A. Because the elevator may be too far for you to reach.
B. Because there are too many people trying to escape by elevator.
C. Because some aftershocks may follow an earthquake.
D. Because you may not get out of it.

C. shout loudly D. try to find any water and foodTask 2：仔细阅读文章内容和Task 3中的图片，并回答下列问题。(Level B)
Something we can say for sure about nature is that it is unpredictable. We can’t always tell
when an earthquake will occur. Earthquakes are known to cause widespread chaos and confusion
but having the right supplies at your fingertips can make all the difference. By creating an earthquake
survival kit, you and your family can prepare yourselves in case such an event occurs. A well-
stocked kit (stored in an easy to reach location) should prove invaluable during those critical hours
or days after a catastrophic event.
