Reporters from NHK, the country"s largest TV station, stayed calm in front of cameras during the earth
quake, 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 to
the earthquake has shown that it is the most earthquake-prepared (有准备的) country in the world. The
calm that 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 an earthquake from a young age.
One way kids learn about earthquake safety is from the cartoon character Maruko, a 9-year-old
student. In Chibi Maruko-Chan (《樱桃小丸子》), Maruko has to wear a protective (防护的) hat in
an earthquake practice. Schools in Japan organize earthquake practices every month. They make students
become familiar (熟悉的) with being in an earthquake.
Japan also has a good earthquake warning (警报) system. Warnings were broadcast on TV, the radio
and cell phones eight seconds after experts first knew about the quake on March 11. The warning system
is unable to predict an earthquake, but it can usually alert (提醒) people about 15 seconds before they
feel the effects. Even 15 or 20 seconds can be enough to save people"s lives.

More than 60,000 American students now study Chinese.

schools there have Chinese during school days. Last year China gave them 3,000 textbooks because they
had done a good job.
Although Chinese is becoming more and more popular, it is one of the most difficult languages to learn.
