Have you ever seen a greenhouse? Most greenhouses look like a small glass house.

　　Greenhouses are used to grow plants，especially in winter.Greenhouses work by trapping heat from the sun，the glass panels(板) of the greenhouse let light in，but keep heat from escaping.This causes the greenhouse to heat up，much like the inside of the parked in sunlight，and keeps the plants warm enough to live in winter.

　　The earth's atmosphere(大氣) is all around us.It is the air that we breathe.Greenhouse gases in the atmosphere behave much like the glass panels in a greenhouse.Sunlight enters the Earth's atmosphere，passing through the blanket of greenhouse gases.As it reaches the Earth's surface，land，water，and biosphere(生物圈)，they take up the sunlight's energy.Once the heat is taken up，this energy is sent back into the atmosphere.Some of the energy passes back into space，but much of it remains trapped in the atmosphere by the greenhouse gases，causing our world to heat up.

　　The greenhouse effect is important.Without the greenhouse effect，the Earth would not be warm enough for humans to live.But if the greenhouse effect becomes stronger，it could make the earth warmer than usual.Even a little extra warming may bring problems to humans，plants，and animals.

Earthquakes may happen anywhere on the earth.When some plates of the earth move suddenly，an earthquake happens.Many earthquakes begin under the sea.They often happen near the mountains，too.

　　During an earthquake，the shakings make rocks rise suddenly and even crack(斷裂) open.Houses fall，people are killed or hurt，and sometimes the whole villages or cities are destroyed.

　　Can we do something to keep ourselves safe from earthquakes? Scientists have studied earthquakes and made maps that show the "earthquake belts".In areas in these belts，it's possible for earthquakes to happen.In these areas we should build strong houses to fight against earthquakes.

　　In the future，scientists will be able to tell when and where an earthquake will be before they happen.They can also tell people what to do and how to do it.

Earthquakes happen without warning(前兆).They can happen any time of a day，at any point during the year.When an earthquake is happening，you should know what you should do or not do.

　　Do NOT go outside.You could get injured from falling glass or parts of buildings.If you are outside，stay away from buildings and power lines(輸電線).

　　Stay under a desk，table，or other strong furniture.Hold on to it.Or stay in a corner of the building.Cover your face and head with your arms and cover your mouth with a towel or clothing.Stay inside until shaking stops and it is safe to go outside.

　　Keep away from windows，pictures or advertisements on the wall or the building，and anything else that could fall and hurt you.Most people get injured by falling things during an earthquake，not by the shaking itself.

　　Also keep away from a fire.You could fall down and burn yourself on the fire.

　　If you are driving when an earthquake happens，stop the car if it's safe.Stay inside your car until the earthquake stops，and don't drive near bridges.Try not to stop by power lines or trees.These could fall and hurt you.
