2. If you are outdoors, move to a clear place. Try to be away from trees, signs, buildings and streetlights. These could fall on you.
3. If you are in a shop and far from the door, don't try to run to outside and rush for exits(出口). Everyone will be doing that and you’ll find it hard to go out. Don't get into a lift during an earthquake. Just hide under some strong covers near you.
4. When an earthquake has ended, be careful because after-shocks may still happen.②These are just as ______ as the earth-quake itself. So stay under the desk until you make sure it's _____ to get up.
