Zhao Tao, a student from No.2 Middle School, has just come back from Shanghai.

Its main idea is “Better City, Better Life.” About 242 countries and organizations are attending(参加) this expo. Many new products can be seen here, such as we can see the snow in the South Korea Corporate Pavilion(展馆) every day during this hot summer though it seldom snows in Shanghai. And we can see, hear, touch and smell the 4-D films at the Oil Pavilion. How wonderful all these new products are!

China Pavilion is in the center of the expo garden. It is very beautiful. It represents the development of China from ancient time to now . It’s a pride of our China!

Thousands of people from all over the world are coming to the expo every day. And many volunteers are working for them. All the tourists are very pleased and they say that the Shanghai World Expo is the greatest one in the world so far.

　　 My wife passed away seven and a half years ago, and I went through a huge depression (消沉), the worst time in my life. I even wanted to end my life. I continued to work as a small-town doctor at my medical clinic in Kilauea, 　　　 Hawaii. My kids had gone to live on the mainland, and I was alone. On a family trip, we turned on the TV and saw the second plane crash into the World Trade Center. I said to my kids, “I’m going to Afghanistan.” International Medical Corps sent me to set up 20 clinics in some provinces where people had no health care. Eventually, the clinics were serving 27,000 patients a month. I had such a sense of accomplishment, a sense of purpose. My depression went completely away.

　　　 I go wherever disasters strike: Indonesia after the tsunami, Pakistan after the earthquake. I was just in Kenya. After their presidential election, at least a thousand people were killed and hundreds of thousands were forced out. We set up mobile clinics in an area with 19,000 refugees (难民).　 Measles broke out, one of the biggest killers of kids in refugee camps, and it spread like wildfire. Water and medical equipment were also problems.

　　　 When my wife passed away, I thought my life was done. But really, it was just getting started. At the end of her life, my wife fell into a coma (昏迷). I held her head in my hands and told her of all the places we would visit, the exciting adventures we would have. I think about this moment many times during my “adventures”. I did not know then how prophetic (先知的) those words would be. She is with me still.

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(输电线)．

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．
