The building is shaking. A woman with a baby in her arms is trying to open the door, but fails. Finding no way, she rushes into her bedroom and there they survive the earthquake.      

In a factory building, as the workshop floor swings under the terrible shaking, workers run for safety. Some hide under the machines and survive , but others who try to run outside are killed by the falling ceilings.     

These scenes, played by actors and actresses, are from a film of science education Making a Split Second Decision shown in 1998 on China Central TV in memory ofTangshan Earthquake.

    By studying actual cases in the earthquake areas and scientific experiments, experts find that buildings remain untouched for the first 12 seconds of an earthquake.     

In this short time, one has the best chance of surviving an earthquake by staying near the inside walls, in bedrooms and under beds, experts concluded in the film. “Earthquakes seem to catch the lives of those who run,” said many survivors in the earthquake areas, describing how their friends were killed on the doorways or along the stair steps as they tried to get out of the building. 

Their advice was proved in the film, “Take a hiding-place where you are rather than run, unless you are sure you can reach a safe open place in ten seconds.”

The widespread number of food scandals ( 丑聞) in China is making many people pause before they put their chopsticks in their mouth. They are wondering if the food they are eating is clean, healthy and nutritious or does it contain something harmful that will cause disease?     

Most of the food we eat today is processed food( 加工食品). That means the foods we buy in stores and supermarkets, especially packaged foods, are prepared in factories. Chemicals are

added to the foods in these factories to make them look better, taste better and last longer on the shelf. The chemicals are supposed to be harmless and there are laws that regulate which chemicals can and cannot be used. Unfortunately, some producers do not obey the laws.

    A producer of steamed buns (饅頭) in Zhejiang Province was recently discovered to be breaking the law. He was adding yellow dye (染色) and other banned (被禁止的) chemicals to the buns. He was also taking old buns and using them to make new buns. Most of the buns were sold to schools and eaten by students. . . like you！      

Why did he do it? Why did he break the law and endanger people’s health? The answer is simple: he wanted to make more money. It was a moral failing, and this is at the heart of the food scandals in China. Too many people focus on making money and not on the effects their actions can have on others.

Homeschooling is the education of children at home, typically by parents but sometimes by tutors, rather than in public or private school. As a matter of fact, most childhood education occurred within the family or community. 

Homeschooling is a legal choice for parents in developed countries to provide their children with a learning environment at home. Parents see many reasons for homeschool, including better test results, improved instruction, to help the public system with fewer kids, poor public school environment, religious reasons, improved character development, the expense of private education, and objection to what is taught locally in public school. 

Homeschooling can also be a choice for families living in remote (遙遠(yuǎn)的) locations, living abroad, and to allow for more traveling. Also many young athletes and actors are taught at home, where a coach (教練) or tutor is with the child for many years and then knows the child very well. 

In some places, an approved curriculum (課程) is required if children are to be home-schooled. In some cases a liberal arts (文科) education is provided.

Overall, gender（性別）differences in math tend to be small. Statements like“Boys do better than girls in math”should not be read as one that all boys perform better than all girls in math.In some recent studies almost no differences have been found. For example, in the national Assessment of Educational Progress study, there were no great difference in the average scores of eighth and twelfth grade boys and girls.     

As a math teacher, I hope to do everything in my power to encourage girls to have more confidence in math. Of course I want every girl and boy in my class to see that they can succeed in math .I do not allow boys monopolize（壟斷）the answering of questions in my classroom. I call on girls and boys equally and I don’t let any student get away by saying” I don’t know” or by shrugging their shoulders. I will guide students to a solution.     

In one project I assign to my 8th grade algebra（幾何）students, they have to research a mathematician and report to the class. I encourage as many students as possible, boys and girls, to research some of the famous female mathematicians. When the girls see how much women had to do to study mathematics years ago, it helps them to see how fortunate their opportunities are today. In this way I provide girls with positive math experiences.
