According to a new Ministry of Education (教育部) survey, student safety has become a big problem. Nearly 50 percent of students say they are worried about robbery (抢劫) on the way to and from school. Now in many big cities in China, some school has taught an unusual lesson: self-protection (自救自护). Students like this lesson as there are no exams or boring classes. And they can learn how to save lives and know how to stop danger before it really happens.
Mr Chen Haoyu, a teacher at Beijing No.25 Middle School and a self-protection expert, gives young students advice on how to deal with danger.
*If you are robbed—Keep calm. If you cannot cry for help or run away, give the robber your money. Try to remember what the robber looks like and tell the police.
*If you are in a traffic accident—If a car hurts you, you should take down the car number; if it is a bicycle, try to contact your parents before you let the rider go. This is because you don’t know how seriously you are hurt.
*If it is raining hard and there is lightning—Don’t stay in high places and keep away from trees.
*When there is a fire—Get away as fast as you can. Put wet things on your body and try and find an exit . Do not take the lift!
*If someone is drowning (溺水)—If you can’t swim, don’t get into the water. Cry out for help.
Remember that danger is never as far away as you think. Take care of yourself at all times! 69. Why do students like the self-protection lesson? A. Because there are advice on exams.
B. Because they can learn how to protect themselves. C. Because they like self-protection experts.

Do you know why different animals or pests (昆虫) have their special colors? Colors in them seem to be used mainly to protect themselves.
Some birds like eating locusts (蝗虫), but birds cannot easily catch them. Why? It is because locusts change their colors together with the change of the colors of crops. When crops are green, locusts look green. But as the harvest time comes, locusts change to the same brown color as crops have. Some other pests with different colors from plants are easily found and eaten by others. So they have to hide themselves for lives and appear only at night.
If you study the animal life, you’ll find the main use of coloring is to protect themselves. Bears, lions and other animals move quietly through forests. They cannot be easily seen by hunters (猎人). This is because they have the colors much like the trees.
Have you ever noticed an even stranger act? A kind of fish in the sea can send out a kind of very black liquid (液体)when it faces danger. While the liquid spreads over (散开), its enemies (敌人)cannot find it. And it immediately swims away. So it has lived up to now though it is not strong at all.
