Long long ago, an old man lived with his three sons. He had 17 horses. One day, he died. In his will (遺囑), the old man said that the eldest son would have half of the 17 horses, the second one would get one third and the youngest one would get one ninth!

How can you protect yourself if there's an earthquake at school? What should you do if you are caught in a stampede(踩踏)? March 25 this year provides you with a good chance to learn about safety.

This day is called the National Day of Education on the Safety of Elementary and Middle School Students(NDESEMSS)(全國中小學(xué)生安全教育日). The theme of the day this year is to give students more knowledge about safety and make sure their lives safe.

A survey done by the China Youth and Children Research Center showed that school accidents kill more elementary and middle school students than anything else. The main accidents come from stampedes, earthquakes, fires and sports injuries(傷害).

What can we do to keep ourselves safe? Staying calm(鎮(zhèn)靜)is the first and most important rule when facing accidents. But different accidents have different self-protection advice.

A stampede is possible anywhere. The larger a human crowd gets, the more likely stampedes become. When students around you begin to push, stand still and try to hold onto something, or stay in a corner until the crowd leaves. If you fall down in a moving crowd, cover your head with both hands. Lean to one side, curl up your body and bend your legs.

Earthquakes are common natural disasters(災(zāi)難). When you feel the ground shake, drop down, take cover under a desk and hold on. You should stay indoors until the shaking stops. If you are outdoors, don't stay near buildings, trees or power lines.

When there's a fire, follow the teachers' instructions, leave the classroom quickly and use a piece of cloth to cover your mouth and nose so that you don't breathe in smoke.

A.To give students more knowledge about safety and make sure their lives safe.

B.To give students more knowledge about health and make sure they eat healthily.

C.To give students more knowledge about science and make their study better.

D.To give students more knowledge about accidents and make them run away.
