听下面第一段对话，回答第6-7两个问题。
M: Mary, you look unhappy. What happened?
W: I have a foreign friend called Linda. She said in her email that there was a flood in her home town.
M: That sounds bad. Was it serious?
W: Yes. Many houses were destroyed.
M: What about her family?
W: Her parents are repairing their house. And she lives in her uncle’s house at present.
听下面第二段对话，回答第8-9两个问题。M: Karen, it’s lucky for you to live in Guangzhou.
W: Why do you say so?
M: The weather is always warm here and it never snows in winter. You know, I am from Beijing and it is always
cold in winter.
W: Hmm ... but I wish that I could live in your city. I’ve never seen any snow in winter here. How I wish I could
see the real snow.
M: Well ... snow is beautiful. However, sometimes, it can bring people trouble. Roads that are covered with snow
or ice can lead to traffic accidents easily. Besides, too much snow can be a natural disaster which damages houses
and even causes death of people.
W: That sounds terrible. Before I talk to you, I was thinking about a trip to Beijing this winter holiday. But now,
maybe I should visit another place.
M: Well ... snow storm is bad but it doesn’t happen all the time. You may check the weather report before your
trip.
W: You are right. Anyway, there is still a month before the holiday. So, I still have plenty of time to choose the
place of my trip.
听下面第三段对话，回答第10-11两 个问题。
W: Ben, are you playing computer games in your room? It’s time for lunch.
M: Mum, I’m in the living room. I am watching the news on TV.
W: What is it about?
M: It says that the Rainbow City was hit by a terrible earthquake last week. By now, 260 people were killed and
150 people are still missing. Things are in a mess there. Houses are badly damaged and fallen trees can be seen
everywhere.
W: I’ve heard of the news. It’s said that people there are having a hard time. The weather is cold but many people
have no places to live in. Worse, there wasn’t enough food and clean water.
M: Sounds terrible. But how can we help them? You know, we can’t just sit around.
W: Well ... maybe we can give away money or food to a volunteer group.
M: That’s a good idea. Oh, there are some old clothes in my room. I am going to pack them up immediately and
send them away to people in that city.
W: But, why don’t you have lunch first? Everyone is waiting at the table.
M: OK. Then, I’ll do it later.

Alice lived with her three sons and four daughters in a small house. One winter, there was a big flood and
quite a few houses were washed away, but Alice’s house was high enough to get away from it. Alice helped one of
the families which had lost everything. She shared her home until the family could rebuild their house. Alice’s
friends could not understand her since she already had so many children to look after.
Later, Alice explained to her friends, “Once, there was a poor woman in a town in England. Her husband had
been killed in the war and she had a lot of children, just like me now. The day before Christmas, she said to her
children, ‘We won’t be able to have much for Christmas. I’m going to get just one present for us all. Now I’ll go
and get it.’ She came back with a little girl who lost her parents in the war. ‘Here’s our present,’ she said to her
own children. The children were excited to get such a present. They welcomed the little girl warmly, and she grew
up as their sister. I was that Christmas present.”

Hello, boys and girls, I’m Tom. Today I’m going to tell you some tips on how to protect yourself during an
Earthquake. First, if you’re indoors, remember to protect your head and neck from falling things. The best place
for you during an earthquake is under a strong table. Second, you should never use the lift when an earthquake
happens. It is very dangerous. Third, if possible, leave the building quickly and move to an open area after the
shaking stops. Remember to move away from buildings, street lights, power lines, and bridges. Fourth, you should
try to stay calm if you get stuck. In a word, remembering these tips can help you protect yourself during an
Earthquake.

It was a rainy day and the sky was very dark. As usual, my mother picked me up after school. On our way
home, however, the wind blew more and more strongly. Lots of litter was blown up in the sky and the big trees
began to shake with the leaves falling down. We felt there was something unusual. So we walked fast. Unluckily,
the wind was so strong that we couldn’t hold the umbrella. The heavy rain kept falling down. We got wet and the
cold went through our bodies. Soon, we began to realize that maybe a typhoon was hitting the area. We becamescared and began to run. But it was hard for us to run fast as the wind kept blowing strongly. After a few minutes,
we arrived home but all the clothes were wet. Later, when we watched the news online, we learned that there was
really a terrible typhoon in our area and it caused lots of damage. We were lucky as all of us were fine after all.
