My name is Doug Copp. I am the manager of the world's most famous rescue team（营救队伍）.I saved people from 875 fallen buildings, worked with rescue teams from over 60 countries and I am a member of many rescue teams from many countries. Today I will tell you something about ‘the triangle of life'.

When buildings fall, the ceilings（天花板）fall upon the furniture or objects（物体）,but leave a place next to them. It is 'the triangle of life’.The larger and the stronger the pieces of furniture or objects, the bigger the places there will be. They are everywhere. It is very common in a fallen building.

How do we use the TRIANGLE?

•Cats, dogs and babies curl up and don't move at all when they are in danger.You should do like this in an earthquake too. It is natural. Stay next to an object, for example, next to a sofa, to keep yourself safe.

•Stay Near the Outer Walls Of Buildings Or Outside Of Them If Possible - It is much better to be near the outside of the building, not the inside.

•If you are in bed during the night and an earthquake happens, you can just be off the bed. A safe space will be there around the bed. It is important to remember: don't get out. Just lie down on the floor.

In some cities of America, many people ride scooters（脚踏车）.Scooters can be helpful. They help make it so there are fewer cars on the road. This means less traffic. At the same time, it saves energy（能源）.Scooters also give people a way to get to different places around the city easily for less money.

Some people say they cause many problems, however. First, they say riders on their scooters put walkers in great danger because people drive the scooters on sidewalks（人行道）and they sometimes hit walkers carelessly. Second, some say they do not follow traffic rules and go the wrong way on roads so they bring problems to car drivers. Third, sometimes people leave their scooters in the way, so there are scooters in front of the stores and it is bad for the stores.

Scooters are a big problem to the traffic so some scientists are working hard to solve them. At first, some cities like Santa Monica and Los Angeles have some parking spaces for scooters. Then, they prepare to develop new plans for scooter riders. Road safety comes first and they are thinking about making special roads for scooters because they are becoming more and more popular. Someone says they maybe replace（代替）bikes in the future. Finally, online lessons about scooter safety are on the Internet. These riders need to watch a video and finish a test. After passing the test and getting a passing card, they can travel with their scooters on the road. Of course, not every rider can be on his or her scooter after the test.

Once upon a time, while a young man was walking in the desert, he met a small lake with clean water. The water was sweet . Then, he put the water in his leather canteen （皮质水壶）because he wanted to bring some water back to his teacher, an elder.

Four days later, he brought the water to the old man. He drank the water, smiled and thanked his student for the sweet water. The young man returned to his village with a happy heart.

Later, the teacher let another student Tom try the water. He did it but said, "oh, teacher, it is terrible and bad!" Then, he kept saying, “Teacher, why did you pretend（假装）to like it?"

The teacher answered, ''The water is not just water; it is the symbol of the young man's kindness and nothing can be sweeter."

Think about our response（反应）when we get a present. If the present is expensive, we may be very happy. If it is not, we may not be very happy. It is a pity that we only pay attention to the presents themselves, not the feelings in them. After all, gifts from the heart are really gifts of the heart.

1.Why did the young man put the water in his canteen?（不超过 11 个词）

___________________________________________________________

2.What does Tom think of the water?（不超过 5 个词）

___________________________________________________________
