A stampede always happens in crowded places. When students around you begin to push, just stand there and try to hold onto something. If you fall down in the crowd, move to one side and protect your head with your hands around.
When earthquakes happen, you can hide under a desk quickly and hold on. It will protect you from falling things. If you are outdoors, find a place away from buildings, trees and power lines.
When there’s a fire, leave the classroom quickly. It’s better to put something wet over your mouth and nose. In this way, you won’t breathe in smoke. Many people die in a fire, not because of the fire but smoke. It makes them cough (咳嗽) and they can’t breathe. That’s very dangerous!

The Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics were a great success. China kept the promise to hold green Olympics. Many green actions made them possible, like providing environmentally friendly smart beds, using new energy (能源) cars, supporting sporting places with 100% clean energy and reusing rain and snow water.
Take making ice as an example. China didn’t use R507, a common material, to make ice because it isn’t friendly enough to the environment. Through half and one years’ hard work, China independently developed the CO direct cooling technology (技术).
Among all the 15 ice sporting places in the Winter Olympics, 7 used the CO direct cooling technology to make ice. As a result, they caused much less pollution.
Beijing did so much more to save energy. Beijing built the new sporting places with green materials. As for the old ones, Beijing used new glass walls to take the place of traditional walls to let more natural light in. We also reused 70% of the waste heat to keep warm and dry. And we used a large number of new energy cars at the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics. The Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics were the first to truly realize green Winter Olympics, and they set new standards (标准) in green technologies. Some newspapers said China had set an example for the world in environmental protection and green development.

What would life be like if you were a rocker, a soccer player, a professor (教授), and a Nobel Prize winner Carolyn Bertozzi from the US lives such a cool life!
Bertozzi, aged fifty-six, became this year’s only woman winner in science and the eighth woman to receive the chemistry prize in history.
Bertozzi won the prize for studying the sugar coats of cells (细胞). She has found a great way to connect cells by connecting their sugar coats. Then the cells have a green color so that scientists can see clearly where they are and how they move.
Although she had great achievements, Bertozzi said she was not very interested in chemistry until her second year at Harvard University. “The professors intentionally (故意地)made the class very difficult,” she told Chemistry World magazine. “My classmates complained a lot, but it matched my brain.”
Besides doing science studies, Bertozzi has lived a colorful life. She was a keyboarder in a rock band. “I even used to think over studying in music,” she said. She also played soccer, and won an athletic scholarship (学金) from Harvard.
As a female scientist, Bertozzi tries to promote gender equality (提倡性别平等). “In the late 1980s, maybe 10 percent of the students were female,” she told Chemical & Engineering News. “There were maybe one or two women in a lab, so we tried to support each other by starting a monthly get-together for all the women students in the department.” In 2022, Bertozzi won an award from the American Association for the Advancement of Science for her work to increase gender equality in science.
8. Why did Bertozzi win this year’s Nobel Prize
A. Because she invented a new treatment for cancer.
B. Because she found a new type of cells with a green color.
C. Because she is the eighth female professor at Stanford University.
D. Because she found a way to link (链接) cells and make them clearer to see.
9. What did Bertozzi think of her chemistry class in her second year at Harvard University
A. Useless and difficult. B. Boring and simple. C. Difficult and boring. D. Difficult and interesting.
10. What can we learn from Paragraph 5
A. Bertozzi once wrote songs for a rock band.
B. Bertozzi once studied music at her university.
C. Bertozzi lived a colorful life including doing studies.
D. Bertozzi won many scholarships because of her talent in chemistry.
11. How did Bertozzi promote gender equality in the 1980s
A. She set an award for women in science.
B. She built a new lab for girls to do research.
C. She increased the number of female students by 10 percent.
D. She started a women’s monthly get-together to help each other.
