When the earthquake hit Japan on December 7th，2020，workers in a supermarket in Japan didn’t run away when they felt the shaking．Instead，they held on to the shelves and tried to stop the goods(货物)from falling down．
Reporters from NHK，the country’s largest TV station，stayed calm in front of cameras during the earthquake，even though some were facing real danger．
The earthquake was the most powerful one to hit Japan in the country’s history．But Japan’s reaction(反应)to the accident has shown that it is the most earthquake-prepared country in the
world．The calm Japanese showed during and after the quake has impressed the world． This is because Japan has“an earthquake culture”．Japanese people are taught how to prepare for and react to earthquakes from a young age．Schools in Japan organize earthquake practices every month．They make students become familiar with being in an earthquake．
Japan also has a good earthquake warning system(警报系统)．Warnings were broadcast on television，radio and mobile phones a few seconds after experts(专家)first knew about the quake．

The power of nature
There are some things in nature that we cannot stop from happening．We cannot stop the power of nature．A flood comes when there is too much water on the land．Sometimes，it is after a big storm when too much rain falls on the land．Sometimes it is after a big storm at sea，when too much sea water comes onto the land．The fast flood water can hurt us and can hurt our homes． We cannot stop a flood from coming，but we can try to stop the water from coming into our homes．We can try to stop the water by making a wall．We can use sandbags to make the wall． An earthquake comes when the land moves．The land goes up and down and in different directions．Then land can crack(断裂)．An earthquake can hurt us．We can get hurt by things that fall down in all earthquake．Falling things can start fires．We cannot stop an earthquake from coming，but we can try to make our homes strong so that they will not fall down in an earthquake．
