great damage and even 2 (lose) of lives.
It’s important for us to know how 3 (protect) ourselves when natural disasters strike. When an
earthquake happens, if you are indoors, you should stay away from windows and heavy furniture. You’d better 4
(hide) under a strong table or desk until the shaking stops. If you are outdoors, don’t stand near buildings, trees or
power lines.
When a typhoon comes, you must stay indoors and close all the windows and doors tightly. Don’t go out
5 (unless) it’s absolutely necessary. The strong winds may 6 (blow) down trees and signs, which are
very dangerous.
Floods are often caused by heavy rain. If you are in a flooded area, try to move to higher ground as soon as
possible. Don’t walk through deep water, because you 7 (not know) what’s under the water. It’s also
dangerous to drive through flooded roads.
After a natural disaster, we should stay calm and 8 (follow) the instructions of the government and
rescue workers. We should help each other and 9 (rebuild) our homes together.In addition, we should pay attention to the weather forecast and early warnings. By 10 (prepare)
well in advance, we can reduce the damage caused by natural disasters. Remember, safety is always the first
priority when facing natural disasters.
四、阅读问答
On Sunday morning, a strong earthquake hit Indonesia (印尼) and then big tsunamis (海啸) followed. They
soon went on to other countries in South and Southeast Asia as well as East Africa. Tsunamis are especially (特别)
dangerous to children. By Wednesday, nearly 60,000 people died because of the tsunamis. One third (三分之一) of
them were children.
At least half of the people in Asia are children. The walls of water killed many members of Asian families. In
many Asian countries near the sea, poor kids helped their parents fish. So they were in danger when the tsunamis
came. In Sri Lanka (斯里兰卡), when the first waves hit, thousands of children came to the seaside. The waves
brought in fish. The old and the young collected them. Many waited to see more. Then the six-meter-high tsunami
hit the island of 19 million people. “They got caught and could not run to safety. This is the reason why so many
children died.” said a policeman in Sri Lanka.
Tsunamis are caused by earthquakes. When two large pieces of the earth run into one another, an earthquake
happens. The movement gives the seawater a sudden push (推力) and makes it move fast. Scientists don’t know
when an earthquake will happen, so they can’t tell people about the tsunamis. What should you do when there’s a
tsunami? Move to a safe place. If you are near the sea and you feel the earthquake, move to higher ground. Stay
away from rivers and streams.
1．When did the earthquake hit Indonesia?
2．How many children died by Wednesday because of tsunamis?
3．Why were poor kids in danger when the tsunamis came in Asia countries?
4．Can scientists tell people when tsunamis happen?
