The calm the 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 earthquakes from a young age.Schools in Japan organize earthquake practices every month. They make students become familiar with being in an earthquake.Japan also has a good earthquake warning system（警报系统）.Warnings were broadcast on television, radio and mobile phones nine seconds after experts(专家)first knew about the quake on March 11.The warning system is unable to predict earthquakes. But it can usually alert people about 15 seconds before they feel the effects. Even 15 or 20 seconds can be enough time to save peoples lives.16.
