School life is full of fun, and the school seems to be the safest place in the world.But do you know that our school life could be dangerous if we are not careful enough?How do we make the school safer and keep us away from danger? Here are some tips for us to be safe in an easy way. For example, we must remember some important rules in the playground. Before we do sports, we need to do some warm up activities(热身运功),and after that we should drink some water. And in the classroom, we need to learn how to behave well. Don’t run in the hallways. We mustn’t fight with or run after each other. And teachers need to keep an eye on the students after class and stop them from running. We students should remember not to be naughty and get into trouble. What’s more, we can have some practice to learn to protect ourselves from a fire. In this way, we can know where to go if there is a fire in our school. We should learn to usethe fire extinguisher（灭火器）,too. I don’t think we should put our a fire by ourselves, because it is too dangerous for young students. Well, I think all of us should think more of our safety in school.How to keep___1_____in the schoolIn the playground Do some warm up activities__2___doing sports Drink some water___3_____doing sportsIn the __4____ Don’t run in the hallways.Teachers need to__5___their students carefully.

They happen during “Hurricane Season,”　which is from June 1st until November 30th in the Atlantic Ocean and from May 15th until November 30th in the Pacific Ocean.Categories(类别)of HurricanesThere are five categories of hurricanes, which are based on wind speeds. The categories help people know how much damage(危害) a hurricane may cause because the greater the wind speed, the more dangerous the storm. For example, a Category 5 hurricane has winds over 155 miles per hour, which are strong enough to destroy the buildings along the shorelines completely.Hurricane DangersWhen a hurricane happens together with heavy rainfall, there can be a devastating flood. The centre of a hurricane is called the eye. While most of a hurricane has dangerously strong winds, the eye is actually(事实上) a calm area in the storm. When the eye of a hurricane passes over land, people might think th at it’s over, but before long the wind and rain increase again as thesecond part of the hurricane moves through.Hurricane Safety TipsThere is no way to stop a hurricane or make it change direction, so if you ever find yourself in the path of a hurricane, be sure to remember the following safety tips.·Be sure you have a radio, batteries, fresh drinking water, and enough food.·Tell neighbours, friends, and family members your emergency plans. Tell them where you ’ll go if you need to leave your home.·If you live near the ocean, leave your home and travel to a safe place. You could stay with a friend or a family member, in a hotel/motel, or in an emergency shelter area.·Stay inside during the storm. You could be seriously injured(受伤) if you go outside. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6.7.8.9.10.Hurricanes CharacteristicsHurricane Season usually 1 about 6 months in the Atlantic Ocean and 6.5months in the Pacific Ocean.Devastating waves, wind, and rain are usually the2 of hurricanes.CategoriesHurricanes have been 3 into five categories by scientists, based on windspeeds.A Category 5 hurricane can destroy all the4 along the shorelines.5When a hurricane comes together with heavy rainfall, a terrible6 mayhappen.The eye is the 7 of a hurricane.

We all like to feel close to someone. It is nice to have a friend to talk,laugh and do things with. Certainly, we need to be alone sometimes. We don’t always want people around. But we would feel lonely if we never had a friend.Sometimes friends don’t make each other happy. That doesn’t mean that they don’t like each other any more . Most of the time, they will make up and go on being friends.Sometimes friends move away. Then we feel very sad. If we miss them very much, we cancall them or write to them. Maybe, we can never see them again. However, we can make newfriends. It is surprising to find out how much we like new people when we get to know them,21 There is more good news for people who have friends. They live longer than people whodon’t. Why? It could be that they are much happier. Being happy helps you to stay well.We will feel happy 1 a friend.When friends make each other 2 , you will make up or go on being friends.When friends are away from you, you will 3 them or make new friends.More good news people who have friends. ☆People live 4 when they havefriends.☆ Being happy is good for your 5 .1. 2. 3. 4. 5.6. 7. 8. 9. 10.七、Here is a 2-way student exchange(双向学生交换).
