During this past winter vacation, I saw The Wandering Earth II with my parents. This sci-fi movie is the second in its series, but it is a prequel(前传)to the first movie.

The movie is about three hours long. It shows us many cool futuristic technologies(技术). The
space elevators(太空电梯),for example, can carry people into space. There is plenty of important information in this movic. It's almost impossible to understand and remember everything. After seeing the movie, I discussed it with my parents and some of my friends. In our discussions, I found many details that I had missed.
Many people say that The Wandering Earth ll is the greatest Chinese sci-fi movie so far.I, too,
think it opens up a new era(时代). I'm really looking forward to seeing more great works like this in China in the future!

On October 29th last year, more than 150 people were killed at a festival in Seoul, South Korea, because of the crowd crush(人群挤压). How can you stay safe in large crowds?
Stay calm and save your energy. Feeling afraid can't save your life. Shouting will make you feel tired. If a crowd crush happens, you'll need all your physical energy to keep yourself safe.
51 This will make some space and allow(允许)you to push(推)people away if you
need to.
Move to the edge(边缘) of the crowd. 52 However, if you find yourself in the middle
of a dangerous crowd, try to move diagonally(成对角线地). You can also look for buildings that you can climb onto to keep away from others.
Go with the crowd, not against it. 53 If you happen to fall down in a large crowd, try to
get up as quickly as possible. If you can't, try to lie on your left side to protect your heart and lungs. Cover your head with your arms and hands.
The most important thing is to know when to leave before the crowd crush happens. Once the
number of people reaches 6 per square metre or more, it becomes very dangerous and you may not be able to get out easily.. 54

A.Leave right away.
B. Keep your arms up
C. It is a good idea to go with the crowd to protect yourself.
D. Fighting against the crowd might make you fall.
