The last Monday in March is an important day in China. It is a day for school safety education. At school, the big accidents are mainly stampedes(踩踏), earthquakes and fires.
A stampede always happens in crowded places. When students around you begin to push, stand there and try to hold onto something. If you fall down in the crowd, put your hands around your head. Move to one side, and bend(弯曲)your body and legs.
Earthquakes happen all over the world. When you feel everything is moving, quickly get under a desk and hold on. If you are outdoors, find a place away from buildings, trees, and power lines(电线). In Japan, many schools take earthquake drills once a month. They help students stay calm in a real earthquake.
When there’s a fire, leave the classroom quickly. It’s better to put something wet over your mouth and nose. This way, you won’t breathe in smoke. When there’s a fire, people can’t jump out of the window from higher than two stories(楼层). They may hurt themselves.

Do you know the date of Thanksgiving Day this year Even if you don’t know the exact date, you probably know what day it falls on: Thursday. So has Thanksgiving Day always been on a Thursday
Thanksgiving Day was first celebrated by the Pilgrims after their first harvest in the New World in November 1621. We don’t know whether the first celebration was on a Thursday or not. But that celebration wasn’t repeated on the same day the next year or any of the years thereafter.
In 1863, President Abraham Lincoln declared that a national day of thanksgiving to be celebrated on Thursday, November 26. Then it was normally celebrated on the last Thursday in November with few exceptions(例外). However, in the 1930s, retailers began to complain about the Novembers which had five Thursdays. They said that celebrating Thanksgiving on the last Thursday during those Novembers didn’t leave enough time for people to shop in between Thanksgiving Day and Christmas.
Finally, in 1942, President Franklin Roosevelt changed Thanksgiving Day from the last Thursday in November to the fourth Thursday in November.
