When the big earthquake hit Japan last year,workers in a supermarket in Japan didn't run away.Instead,they held on to the shelves and tried to stop the goods from falling down.

Reporters from NHK,the country's largest TV station,stayed calm in front of cameras during the earthquake ,even though some were facing real danger.

The earthquake was the most powerful one to hit Japan in the country's history.But Japan's reaction to the earthquake has shown that it is the most earthquake-prepared country in the world.The calm that they showed during and after the quake has impressed the world.

This is because Japan has an earthquake culture.Japanese people are taught how to prepare for and react to an earthquake from a young age.

One way kids learn about earthquake safety is from the cartoon character Maruko,a 9-year-old student.In Chibi Maruko Chan（《櫻桃小丸子》）,Maruko has to wear a protective hat in an earthquake practice.Schools in Japan organize earthquake practices every month.They make students become familiar（熟悉的）with being in an earthquake.

Japan also has a good earthquake warning（警告）system. The warning system is unable to predict an earthquake, but it can usually alert（使警覺）people about 15 seconds before they feel the effects. Even 15 to 20 seconds can be enough to save people's lives.

閱讀短文，從A-E五個(gè)句子中選擇正確選項(xiàng)還原到文中，使短文內(nèi)容完整、正確。

As teenagers, you have many dreams. These dreams can be very big, such as winning the Nobel Prize, or they can be small. You may just want to become one of the ten best students in your class.

Once you find a dream, what do you do with it? 1. Follow Your Heart by Australian writer Andrew Matthews tells us that making our dreams real is life’s biggest challenge(挑戰(zhàn)).

You may think you’re not very good at any school subjects, or that it is impossible for you to become a writer. 2.

In fact, everyone can make his dream come true. The first thing you must do is to remember what your dream is.

3. The discovery may not seem to be important. Keep telling yourself what you want. Do this step by step and your dream will come true faster because a big dream is, in fact, made up of many small dreams. 4. There will be difficulties on the road to your dreams. But the biggest difficulty comes from yourself.

You need to decide what is the most important. Studying instead of watching TV will lead to better exam results, while saving five yuan instead of buying an ice cream means you can buy a new book.

As you get closer to your dream, it may change a little. 5.

A. This is good as you have the chance to learn more skills and find new interests.

B. Don’t let it leave your heart.

C. Do you ever try to make your dream real?

D. Please never give them up.

E. These kinds of thoughts stop you from getting your dream.
