How many hours do you spend sitting in a chair every day？Eight hours in the office and three hours in front of the TV after work is the normal condition for many people．

A serious earthquake can be a terrible experience，and it is easy to forget safety measures（措施） in disorder（混乱）． Fortunately，most earthquake safety measures are common sense，but if you forget everything else，remember the following instructions：drop，cover，and hold on．Also，most of earthquake deaths happen after the earthquake，so remember that the danger does not end when the shaking does!

If you stay indoors during an earthquake，move away from unsupported areas and windows．Try to get under a doorway or another area of the building which is held up by strong beams（梁）．Stay under a table or desk only if it is very strong．Do not rush to lifts，because it is far safer to stay where you are．Cover your head with your arms around it and curl （蜷缩） into a ball，and wait for the shaking to stop．

If you stay outdoors during an earthquake，move to an area which is as open as possible．Don’t move to buildings，electric poles and other objects which may fall during an earthquake and injure you．Protect your head and stay low to the ground till the shaking ends and it is safe to move．

After an earthquake，many buildings are less strong，although they appear safe．If you stay indoors，move people from the building quickly and help disabled or injured people．Once outdoors，move well away from the building so that if it falls down，you will not be injured．Wait till public safety officials announce that it is safe to stay indoors．

By planning ahead and keeping calm during an earthquake，you can greatly increase your chances of survival（生存） without injury．

Imagine one day，the water taps（水龙头） in your house stop running．You have to buy water from shops．And still there isn’t enough for everyone．Your mother has to save the family’s shower water to do other things．Would you be able to stand that kind of life？

Probably not．But that’s what kids in Yemen are experiencing．Experts said Yemen is going to be the first country in the world to run out of water．According to a report，the capital，Sana，will run out of drinking water as early as 2025．

Because of the shortage，the government often cuts the water supply（供应）．Hannan，an 18﹣year﹣old from Lahej，told Times：“In a good week we’ll have a water supply all week．But then the following week there will be water only for a day or two．”

Hannan said only rich people have enough water to use．They can buy water from the shops or from the water trucks．Private companies own the trucks．They travel around the city every day to sell water﹣at very high prices．“A lot of people can’t afford it，”she said．

The average （平均） person in Yemen uses 100to 200cubic（立方）meters of water per year．That is far below the international water poverty（贫困） line of 1，000cubic meters．

The government is thinking of making use of seawater．But it will cost a lot and it may not happen soon enough to help the people of Yemen．

B．the 18﹣year﹣old boy is from a poor family

C．private companies make a lot of money

D．Lahej is a beautiful place

I really love my job because I enjoy working with small children and like the challenges and awards from the job. I also think my work is important. I wasn’t an excellent student because I didn’t do much schoolwork. In my final term I started thinking what I might do and found I didn’t have much to offer.

I then found myself a job, looking after two little girls. It wasn’t too bad at first. But the problems began when I agreed to live in. I would be there if my boss had to go out for business in the evening. We agreed that if I had to work extra hours one week, she’d give me time off the next. But unluckily, it didn’t often work out. I was getting very tired. Because I had too many late nights and early mornings with the children.

One Sunday, I was in the park with the children, and met Megan who used to go to school with me. I told her about my situation. She suggested that I should do a course and get a qualification(资格证书)if I wanted to work with children. I didn’t think I would be accepted because I didn’t take many exams in school. She asked me to phone the local college and they were really helpful. My experience counted for a lot and I got on a part-time course. I had to leave my job with the family, and got work helping out at a kindergarten.

Now I’ve got a full-time job there. I shall always be thankful to Megan. I wish I had known earlier that I could have a success, even if I am not top of the class at school.
