However, her grandmother took away all the money and put it in a bank account. Many students experienced the same thing as Chen. They got their gift money, only to immediately have it taken away. Xiong Shengyue, 14, from Nanjing, doesn't agree with the practice. "I think the money should be the children's, " she said. " We should take care of it by ourselves." It is not that simple, said Chu Chaohui, a researcher at national Institute of Education Sciences. Giving gift money is used to show social status  and develop relationships, he told Beijing Legal Evening News. Gift money has lost its traditional meaning of good will and has "little to do with the children". What's more, children don't earn the money through work. So he thought that parents should still play a big part in dealing with the money. But Yan Honglan, a mother of a 14-year-old boy in Beijing, has let her son be responsible  for his gift money since the age of 8. "I want to develop his financial  skills, ' Yan said. She also added:"No matter how you deal with the money, the most important thing is to make the children feel they're respected  and trusted. Chen supported Yan's idea. She said that though she knew her grandmother wouldn't waste her gift money, she would feel happier if she could at least know how the money is spent. "It would make me feel a little bit more grown-up," she said. Question: Chu Chaohui thought the gift money should be dealed with by   _ - children - grandmother - parents - friends
parents

Read the following article and select the best answer. Article: Disasters happen all the time somewhere in the world. Are you ready if one hits your neighborhood next week? Find out what you need to do now before it is too late. Let's take an earthquake for example. During an earthquake, get under a strong object like the kitchen table. Don't leave the building during the shaking, or you might be hurt by falling objects from the outside of the building. When you are in bed during the night and an earthquake happens,simply roll off the bed. There will be a safe void around the bed. If you are watching TV and you cannot easily run away by getting out through the door or window, then lie down and curl up  next to a sofa, or a large chair. Never go to the stairs. The stairs are likely part of the building to be broken. Even if the stairs are not destroyed by the earthquake,they may fall down later when people run down. Try to get into an open area away from trees,buildings,walls,advertisement boards and power lines if you are outdoors. If you are driving when an earthquake suddenly happens,just stay in your car until the shaking ends. However, if the footbridge falls and breaks your car,get out of it and sit or lie next to it. All the broken cars have voids 3 feet high next to it. Question: What should you do if you are in a building when an earthquake happens? - Rush out quickly - Sit in the kitchen - Stay below strong objects - Go down the stairs
**Answer**
Stay below strong objects
