My grandfather looked at me9and said," When you cheat others, you cheat yourself. " He didn't need to say more but taught me10good lesson.

What should you do if there is a fire at school? Do you know how to protect yourself in a large crowd? Every year since 1996, on the last Monday of the last week in March, the National Day of Education on the Safety of Primary and Middle School Students (全国中小学安全教育日) is held. This year it falls on March 27th. It offers us a chance to learn more about school safety.
A survey shows that the worst accidents are a result of stampedes (踩踏), fires and traffic. When facing an accident, the first and most important rule is to stay calm. But you should know different ways to handle different accidents so that you can protect yourself and stay safe in accidents.
A stampede happens in a place where there is a large crowd. When students around you begin to push, stand still and try to hold on to something, or stay in a corner until the crowd leaves. If you fall down in a moving crowd, cover your head with both hands to protect yourself. Lean to one side, curl your body and bend your legs.
When there is a fire, you should follow the teachers' instructions. Leave the classroom and use a piece of cloth to cover your mouth and nose so that you don't breathe in smoke.
If you walk to school or go by bike, follow traffic rules. Wait for the green traffic light, and look left and right for cars before you cross the road.

I always feel stressed in winter. I have so many things to do but I don't have enough time. I'm always worried that I can't finish the work every day. —Linda It's strange that in winter people often get hungry easily. I often eat more and put on weight in winter. The colder it is, the hungrier I feel. —John The flu is usually serious in winter. Many people around me have flu. I'm so afraid of catching flu. Sometimes I never get in touch with anyone that has flu. —Li Hua In winter, I always feel sad for no reason. I don't have interest in doing anything when it is grey. How could I change the bad feeling?—Sam I have trouble sleeping in winter. I often have many dreams. Sometimes there are several bad dreams at one night. I even feel afraid to sleep at night. —Lily |
A. Get enough sleep. If you don't have enough sleep，you will not think clearly. So you need to have a good sleeping habit and go to bed earlier. B. Eat healthily. Avoid eating too much. If youget hungry easily, you can have more small meals rather than a larger one, and you can eat more fruit and vegetables. C. To keep healthy, you can do some exercise. If you don't like doing sports outside, you can do some sports at home. The best way is that you had better receive the flu vaccine(流感疫苗). D. Relax yourself. The more nervous you are, the more bad dreams you will have. Do something relaxing to make sure your brain is peaceful，such as reading and listening to music. E. Get out. Some experts say that we usually feel sad because we get less sunlight in winter than we do in other seasons. Getting moresunlight each day can help you feel better. F. Brush your teeth twice a day. Don't eat too much sweet food and see a dentist (牙医) at least once a year. G. Let your stress go. Make sure you have some quiet time for yourself. Don't be so busy, or you may do something wrong. |
Do you know guide dogs? Guide dogs are the best "helping hands" for the 56. people. Most guide dogs are both their eyes and their good friends. How can normal dog become a guide dog? First of all, the dog must be healthy and friendly. , one of the dog's parents must be a guide dog. Third, when they are two months , they would be sent to the training center. People there teach them how to get on people. Then they can understand to help people. At last, when they are one year old, they have to return to the training center to take an exam. If they the exam, they can finally be real guide dogs.
Can other animals help disabled people? Now, some other animals are being trained to help them. In the USA, some monkeys take special in the center to help people who can't move anymore. The monkeys can put a CD into the CD player, on the lights and open the fridge to get food when the owner is hungry. In my , animals are not only people's pets, but also our best helpers. We should love animals and protect them.
Friends are a part of our lives. In my life, I have a best friend who means a lot to me. When we first met each other four years ago, she said hello to me with a sweet smile. My life would be less colorful without her. Although we sometimes argue, we still treat each other as best friends. We also had lots of unforgettable times together.
This winter holiday. we went to an amusement park Happy Valley together. It was really an unforgettable day. We had fun together on the roller coaster(过山车). We held each other's hands and shouted loudly when we were riding the roller coaster. It was my first time to do that. It was so exciting. The ride made me feel a little sick, so she bought a bottle of water for me. After that, we went to the restaurant at the park. It was a special restaurant because you can sing songs on the stage there. My friend sang an English song for me. It made me moved because it was my favorite song. She always knew me well. This experience left me with a lot of good memories and made our friendship stronger. I would never forget that day because I was really happy and moved.
Maybe we won't always spend all of our time together. But I will enjoy the time I spend with her and the good memories she has given me.
