In 2023,China experienced 328 wildfires.Surprisingly,147 of them happened in March and April.Why do wildfires happen so often in spring?There are three main reasons.First,dry weather in areas like Southwest China(such as Yunnan and Sichuan)means there's little rain.Dry soil and air make it easy for fires to start.Second,after winter,plants begin to grow,leaving dry leaves and grass on the ground.These act like "fuel"for wildfires.Third,strong winds in spring fan the flames(火焰)，making them spread faster.. What should we do if a wildfire happens?Stay calm first.A clear mind helps you make better decisions.Then,always stay upwind of the fire-never run toward it.If the wind changes and the fire comes closer,move quickly to a safe place.If in the middle of a fire,wrap yourself in wet cloth such as clothes or blankets(毛毯)and find a wide road or river to block(阻塞)the fire. Remember:Water and open spaces are your best protectors.By understanding these risks and learning safety tips,we can better face wildfires.Let's all work together to prevent fires and stay safe！ 26.What percentage of wildfires in China happened in March and April 2023?

First,he came to a fallen tree trunk."This looks like a suitable place!" he said,digging a hole in its side. But when he poked his head in,he heard "You can't stay here.It's our home,and breakfast, lunch and dinner!!”said hundreds of tiny termites(白蚁).The porcupine apologized(道歉)and backed away "Now,where can I go?"he wondered. Then he found a space under a thick bush that seemed to be protected from the wind,so he tried crawling there. “Hey!"hissed the lynx(猞猁)，showing her sharp paws.."This is my place,and don'tyou forget it!"The porcupine went away in a hurry-he didn't want any trouble.The poor porcupine was really getting worried,"I might freeze if I don't find somewhere to stay soon!"he said,his teeth chattering(打颤). A snake overheard the porcupine and felt sorry for him.She poked her head out of her hole and said,"Would you like to stay here with me?My home is quite small,but I'm sure we can both fit!" The porcupine was ever so thankful.He pushed his way into the snake's narrow home."This is so nice!"he said."How kind of you to let me in!" However,when the snake tried to get to sleep,she found it impossible to get into a comfortable position.Twist and turn as she might,she was always getting hurt by the porcupine's spines.

The snake was still painful and tired from her sleepless night,so she just nodded.With his paws,the porcupine began scratching()at the hole's walls. As the snake watched in wonder,the porcupine dug out an extra room that was just the right size for him. "There you are!"he said in a satisfied voice."Now there is plenty of room for both of us!" The snake and the porcupine shared that burrow all winter.It was warmer with the two of them in it,and there was enough space for both animals to sleep comfortably. The snake enjoyed the stories the porcupine told,and the porcupine was impressed by the snake's skills at finding food.Their unlikely friendship made winter less lonely for both of them.
