There was an earthquake this mrning. I was wrking in frnt f my cmputer when it hit the city. The quake started with a sudden lud nise. I thught that smething heavy in a neighbr's huse prbably had fallen. Hwever, the walls and the flr began t shake. I finally realized it was an earthquake.
My sn Zac, a sixteen­year­ld by, was sleeping with his dr lcked. Being sixteen, he can sleep thrugh any kind f nise. “Zac！” I shuted. “Are yu OK？” But nbdy replied. I was a little wrried. I culdn't imagine that smene was able t get such a deep sleep. The huse was dancing. There were waves in the swimming pl. I was afraid the huse wuld cme dwn. “Zac！” I yelled, kncking n his dr with an pen palm (手掌). “Zac! Wake up! It's an earthquake! We need t get ut！”
My sn finally emerged in his underpants. We lked arund the rm. I knew that we shuld hide under a table t stp things frm falling n us and stay away frm glass. Unfrtunately, nne f ur furniture was designed fr hiding under. “Shuld we g int the garden？” Zac asked. “N, trees culd fall n us！” I said. Actually, Zac had dne earthquake drills (训练) at schl. He must have been tld t hide under a desk and cver his head. But we had nthing t cver ur heads in the huse.
Luckily, befre we tk any actin, the windws stpped mving and the pl calmed dwn. Everything went back t nrmal sn. But bth my sn and I knew what we shuld d, because we knew if there had been a really big earthquake this mrning, we culdn't have escaped frm it.

Making emplyees feel happy and healthy at wrk is gd fr many businesses. But it isn't always an easy thing. A research suggests that just 33% f the U．S. emplyees cnsider themselves fully engaged (投身于) at wrk, while 16% are actively disengaged, and 51% are just shwing up.
But there is an exceptin. When it cmes t emplyee engagement, it seems that emplyees in small cmpanies are ding better. Accrding t the same research, the largest U．S. cmpanies have the lwest levels f engagement, while cmpanies with fewer than 25 emplyees have the highest. And in ne recent reprt, 75 percent f small business wrkers surveyed said they were “very” r “extremely” satisfied with their rle as a small cmpany emplyee.
Unlike big cmpanies, small cmpanies are ften shrt f resurces but the emplyees can get mre surprises there. Small cmpanies ffer excellent career pprtunities t their emplyees. The bsses ften knw their staff very well and understand their persnal needs. Emplyees f small cmpanies are mre likely t receive free meals, paid leave, and they can even bring their pets t wrk.
But f curse, there're many ther draws in small businesses. One f the tp draws is flexible scheduling (弹性工时). Anther is being able t really see the fruits f ne's labr. Besides, nn­cash award is als a big draw. This culd be smething small that reflects emplyees' interests and lifestyles.
While a parental leave might lead t sme financial prblems, small cmpanies may d smething t imprve it. “It may be impssible fr a five­persn team t be reduced t fur fr six mnths，” writes Camilla Velasquez, head f HR management platfrm Justwrks. “But it culd be pssible t allw new parents t take n reduced hurs in a wrk­frm­hme envirnment.” This kind f methd has been realized in sme small cmpanies.
