Maybe it is true that we do not know what we have got until we lose it，but it is also true that we do not know what we have been missing until it arrives.

It takes an hour to like someone，and a day to love someone，but it takes a lifetime to forget someone.Giving someone all your love is never an assurance(保证)that they will love you back.Do not expect love in return；but if it does not，be content it has grown in yours.Do not rely on one's appearance；it can trick you.Do not rely on wealth；even that fades away.Rely on someone who makes you smile，because it takes only a smile to make a dark day seem bright.

There are moments in life when you miss someone so much that you just want to pick them from your dreams and hug them.Dream what you want to dream；go where you want to go；be what you want to be，because you have only one life and one chance to do all the things you want to do.

The brightest future will always be based on a forgotten past.You cannot go on well in life until you let your past failures and heartaches go off.May you have enough happiness to make you sweet，enough trials(考验)to make you strong，enough sorrow to keep you human，enough hope to make you happy.The happiest people do not necessarily have the best of everything；they just make the most of everything that comes along their way.Happiness waits for those who cry，those who appreciate the importance of people who have touched their lives.Always put yourself in others' shoes.If you feel that it hurts you，it probably hurts the other person，too.

When you were born，you were crying and everyone around you was smiling.Live your life so that when you die，you are the one who is smiling and everyone around you is crying.

An earthquake is one of the most common natural disasters. It may cause great damage. So it is wise to learn some simple safety tips to protect yourself or your family members.

Fragile items, like those made of glass are easily broken and should usually be placed on a lower surface, near the ground instead of placing them on cupboards higher up. Never place them near your bed, sofas and other furniture where you would be sitting or lying down. When there is a strong movement, these pieces will fall on the floor directly and not on you.

There is a strong chance of short circuits （短路） and fire breakouts during an earthquake. Make sure you turn off electrical connections and gas immediately when an earthquake happens.

During an earthquake, lie beneath an object that is not easily damaged. Do not go near objects that could directly fall on you. Never use the elevator to go down. Stay inside until the shaking stops and it is safe to go outside. Research has shown that most injuries happen when people inside buildings try to go out. Use the staircases at all times.

If you are outdoors, do not take shelter under a tree, streetlights, electric poles or tall buildings. If you are driving, stop your car and stay in a safe place. Do not park your car under a tree or any tall object.

If trapped in debris (瓦砾堆), cover your mouth with a handkerchief or clothing. Tap on a pipe or wall so rescuers can find you. Use a whistle (哨子) if one is available. Never shout for help. Shouting can cause you to breathe in dangerous amounts of dust. Do not light a match because you may burn yourself. Do not move about or kick up dust.
