Nearly 50% of students say they are worried about robbery on the way to and from school. Now in main big cities in China, some schools have taught an unusual lesson: self-protection. Students like this lesson because there are no exams or boring classes. And they can learn how to save lives and know how to get away from danger before it really happens.Chen Haoyu, a teacher at Beijing No. 25 Middle School, gives young students advice on how to deal with danger.If you are robbed(被抢劫)Keep calm if you can not cry for help or run away. Give the robber your money. Try to rememberwhat the robber looks like and tell the police later.If you are in a traffic accidentIf a car hits you, you should remember the car number. If it is a bicycle, try to call your parents before you let the rider go. This is because you dont know how seriously you are hurt.If it is raining hard and there is lighting(闪电)Dont stay in high places and stay away from trees.If there is a fireGet away as fast as yon can. Put wet things on your body and try to find an exit(出口). Do not take the lift.If someone is drowning(溺水)If you cant swim, dont 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 time!21 . Why do students like the self-protection lesson? Because there are no tests.

The best title for this passage is.ADangerBSelf-protectionCA usual lessonDHow to keep calmA bag is useful and the word “bag” is useful, too. It reminds us of an interesting phrase（习语） to let the cat out of the bag. In meaning it is the same as “to tell the secret”. And there is an old interesting story about it.Long ago, when farmers wanted to sell chickens at the market, most of the time they would just throw the chickens in cloth bags. But cats were cheaper than chickens, so many farmers would put cats into the cloth bag instead of chickens.One day, a woman asked a man for a chicken. The man gave her a cloth bag in which there was a cat. The woman begged to see the chicken. When the man opened the cloth bag, a big black cat ran out. Not a chicken! The mans secret was out and everyone knew it.Now when someone lets out a secret, he “lets the cat out of the bag”. And that is the story where the interesting phrase comes from.25 .
