Teacher: Thank you, Mrs Fors,That was a great presentation !Class, do you have any questions for Mrs Fors?

Student1: Mrs Fors, I think you're a hero, And Lucky is very cute. I'd like to know what we can do to prevent natural disasters.

MsFors: Well, there's no way to prevent earthquakes and storms. But if we prepare, we can keep them from becoming disasters that kill or injure people. To be ready, we should make a safe list of what to do, where to go, and who to contact.

Student1: So what should we do if there's an earthquake?

MsFors: Remember to drop, coves and hold on. Drop down onto your hands and knees, cover your head with your hands, and stay away from glass, s, or anything that could fall. You could find cover under a desk or table . Hold on to the desk and table so it doesn’t move away from you.

Teacher: What should we do if were outside when an earthquake happens?

MsFors: Go to an open space away from buildings, trees, or power lines.

Student 2: And what about after an earthquake?

Ms Fors: Well, if you're trapped, you can use a cell phone to call or text for help. You can also tap a pipe or a wall, or whistle for help. That way Lucky and I can find you!

Student 2: I have a question for Lucky. Do you like being a rescue dog?

MS Pors: Lucky, what do you say?

[Sound of dog barking twice ]

Teacher: I think he says he's a lucky dog.

on one’s hands and knees 意思是“双膝跪倒双手扶地”,也就是“趴着”“跪趴着”“匍匐着”“手足并用”“四脚着地”之类的意思。如:

I was on my hands and knees looking under the bed. 我双膝跪倒双手扶地,往床底下看。

He was on his hands and knees, looking for a contact lens. 他跪趴在地上寻找一片隐形眼镜。

The baby was crawling awkwardly on her hands and knees. 这个小宝宝正用她的四肢笨拙地爬行。

The tunnel was so low in places that we had to crawl along on our hands and knees. 这条隧道有的地方太低了,我们只能匍匐前进。

drop down的字意思是“倒下”,这里的 drop down on your hands and knees 意思是“倒下趴着”“跪趴下来”。
