A 7-magnitude (震级) earthquake hit Ya’an, Sichuan at 8:02 on 20th April, 2013, and it killed at least 196 people and injured more than 11,000.
Together with other students, Yang Xuelan ran out to the playground. She was safe. But all her textbooks and exercise books were buried in the teaching building.
What can we do when an earthquake happens? In fact, there’s a little we can do to stop natural disasters such as earthquakes happening. But some methods can reduce (减少) the harm they cause. The American Red Cross introduced the “Drop, Cover & Hold on” method.
♦ Drop down onto your hands and knees. This way can protect you from falling.
♦ Cover your head under a strong table or desk. You can also stay along a wall, and cover your head with your arms and hands.
♦ Hold on to your shelter (遮蔽物) until the shaking stops. Be prepared to move with your shelter if the shaking continues.
Schools can normally take the earthquake drills (训练) to help students stay alive.

A kidnapped (被绑架的）3-year-old boy named Aiden helped police find him on Tuesday, 13th January, after answering his mom’s phone in her stolen (被偷走的) car!
Authorities (官方) say they found a 3-year-old boy who was sitting in a car stolen outside a Utah day care center on Tuesday after he answered his mother’s cellphone and honked the horn (喇叭) to draw their attention.
The boy’s mother, Elizabeth Barrios, left the car unlocked (未上锁的) and running on a snowy morning as she dropped off another child, a baby, at the day care center around 7 a.m. in Ogden, a town about 40 miles north of Salt Lake City, police said. When she walked out, she saw someone driving her car away with her 3-year-old son Aiden inside.
Police arrived and called her cellphone, which was in the car, hoping to reach the thief and negotiate (商定) the boy’s release (释放), Lt. Tim Scott said.
Instead, the boy answered the phone. He told his mother that a stranger had driven away with her car and was going through her purse. She told him to stay calm as the man took things from her purse and ran away.
When the man was gone, officers told him to honk the horn and followed the sound to the car. “He was scared (害怕), but it was a good thing at his age that he was able to get himself out of his child seat and honk the horn,” Scott said.
Police reunited (使重逢) the boy with his mother about 20 minutes after the car was stolen. Officers are searching for the suspect. “He left my son. That’s all that matters to me,” Elizabeth Barrios told reporters on Tuesday.
“He is a very smart child,” Scott said. “He did a great job.”
