There, he began writing articles for several Chinese student magazines. He even wrote several books, although none was popular. He returned to China in 1909 because he was in need of money. After working for several years as a teacher in Beijing, Lu Xun again returned to writing. In 1918, he wrote his famous short story Diary of a Madman. It was the first Chinese novel in everyday language. It helped make the novel a great success. This, together with his novel The True Story of Ah Q (1921), made Lu Xun a leading Chinese writer.Today, you can see many of his writings in schoolbooks.

The painting on the wall falls to the ground and the situation becomes terrible soon. That is an earthquake! A woman with a baby in her arms is trying to open the door, but she doesnt make it. Finding no way out, she hurries into the bathroom and there they survive (在中幸免于难) the earthquake.In a factory building, as the floor of the workshop is shaking terribly, workers run for safety. Some hide under machines or strong tables, others try to run outside. As a result, people who are trying to run out are killed by the falling ceilings (天花板). These scenes (场景), played by actors and actresses, are from a film called Making a Split Second Decision. By studying the facts in the earthquake, scientists found that a building may stay well for the first three seconds. In this short time, one has the best chance of surviving an earthquake by staying away from windows, keeping clear of fires or staying in bathrooms and under strong beds. All of that is acted in the film. “Earthquakes seem to catch the lives of those who run,” said many survivors in the earthquake, describing how people were killed on the doorways or along the stairs as they tried to get out of the building. Anyway, if you are not sure you can get to a safe open place in ten seconds, youd better stop running away and take a safe hiding place where something is strong enough to hold against the falling ceilings.

People often lose their lives when they hurry out in the earthquake. ( ) 50. What is the best title for the passage?A. A wonderful film about terrible earthquakes B.
